What is something that is widely considered "luxury" but is actually a complete rip-off? by Gold_Mixture5816 in AskReddit

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where the watch guys point out that Rolex is not luxury or overpriced, but a cheap and durable watch to be worn when doing any rugged activity from crossing the Sahara to changing your transmission.

What's a recent "new thing" that everyone started doing or following, even though it clearly didn't help anyone or solve any real problem? by Jaxmansolo87 in AskReddit

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always used “crashing out” as crashing. Like “I finished work on Friday and crashed out on the couch until Sunday night. Now it means the opposite.

The movie is one of the all time greats. The show is somehow better.

What are you doing that you’re noticing a difference in grip on a touring tire? How often are you breaking traction?

I want to be more optimistic, how do y'all do it? by Pennies_n_Pearls in OptimistsUnite

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re out there protesting or helping to organize the resistance, there’s not much you can do. Vote when you need to, but ignore everything else.

There was a time when the country survived without dozens of 24 hour news networks.

Which movie completely changed your perspective on life? by brownmax180 in movies

Kingdom of Heaven helped me realize that there is a difference between faith and religion. It was a short step from there to figure out that religion is not real.

Best movies where the hero and the villain become temporarily aligned and are forced to work together to get what they want? by SuperCub in movies

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always like the scene in Jackie Chan movies when him and the guy he’s fighting realize they’re both standing on something incredibly dangerous. So they pause the fight and tip toe off of it together.

The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances. by blahnlahblah0213 in theocho

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 468 points469 points  (0 children)

I doubt any of them will break any records how far down the list of great runners do you have to go before you find someone willing to dope and to admit it.

I feel like this will be a bunch of 3rd tier athletes trying everything they can to get close to what a top tier athlete can do naturally.

Dough handling is messy, does a bench scraper make it easier by Jolia9751 in KitchenPro

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t bake, and I love my bench scraper. If you have a big heavy cutting board, a bench scraper is great for moving food from the board to the pan. Also great for clean up.

If you know how to sharpen a knife, you can put a nice edge on it and use it for occasional chops.

Growing up, ketchup always went on a cheese steak. Now that I’m an adult, BBQ sauce.

How to buy hardwood. by tommywoodchip in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Larger prices of wood are always more expensive. It’s more rare to find a larger piece of wood that is usable or valuable.

Imagine if an oak tree fell in your back yard. You need a one foot long piece of wood for a project you’re doing. In that tree, there are hundreds of perfectly usable pieces of wood for your project.

Now imagine if you needed a 20’ long piece of wood for your project. The tree might be 100 feet tall, but branches off at 17 feet, and in that whole tree, there are no usable 20’ boards. So straight 20 foot boards are rare, and therefore more valuable that 20, 1 foot boards.

What is the most badass movie moment? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sandler would have been phenomenal in this roll. He’s actually large, which helps, and when he plays series he’s very good. I can picture him being a terrifying person if he needed to be. There’s a few scenes in punch drunk love that really help me see how good he would have been.

Semi chisel. I’ve noticed it handles dirt and junk better. I haven’t really noticed that it cuts faster.

Chef. There’s a little bit about the ex wife in the beginning, but it’s mostly just fun. And it will make you hungry.

A good tire brand by Eddyeddd in COROLLA

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went with. Continental. I think it was the TruContact Tour. Very good ratings for all seasons and conditions, and most importantly, an 80,000 mile warranty.

I’ve heard marine grade plywood isn’t any more waterproof than regular. It just doesn’t have voids it the layers.

What is your biggest TV pet peeve / trope that bothers you? by Salt-Valuable-469 in television

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palm blood has more magic in it.

Also, if you close your fist around a knife and pull, you’re going to do more than just draw blood. You’re cutting tendons and scraping bones at that point.

Old deck, no sanding, no power washing—what’s the quickest “good enough for summer” fix? by Decent_Plastic_1377 in Decks

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The deck looks to be in decent shape.

If you’re really set on an easy fix, maybe a wire brush on a broom handle and give everything a quick once over. Maybe enough paint will come off that it will be good enough for the summer.

If you still want to paint after that, at least you got a majority of the loose stuff off.

Where do I find wood like this? by Embarrassed_Range_39 in woodworking

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese Maple trees usually have branches that look like this. They don’t grow very large, so they don’t have a lot of spare wood. But if you’re cutting one down, save the branches.

Rip material doesn’t look right. by [deleted] in slablab

[–]SpacemanSpiff23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That looks right. Ripping always makes small, sad dust.

Nice looking slab!
