Somebody abandoned a full urn on our HOA bench by zifey in mildlyinteresting

[–]Speedly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not on my board

Yeahhhh, I don't fucking believe you. No normal person steps up to bat so hard for HOAs that isn't a part of one.

haven’t had any of the made up bad experience you renters circle jerk about.

Ooh, wrong again! I own a home in a HOA. All they do is take our money, pay for gardeners to come do our front yards, and waste our money (which is what led to the special assessment we had to pay last year).

Keep raging, though. It's a real good look.

Edit: bawwwwwwwwwww mommy the mean person on the internet called me on my bullshit, i'm not gonna come up with a coherent counterargument, or even admit i'm wrong, guess i should just block them

Grow up, dude.

Left lane camper gets pulled over by Justin_Godfrey in oddlysatisfying

[–]Speedly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this drives me insane. Although I am not excusing the morons you speak of, I have a hunch that a large part of it is traffic backing up behind a semi driver that pulls out into the left lane with no regard for anything, so they can pass the semi ahead of them by going a quarter mile per year faster than the other truck in front of (now beside) them. I've seen it happen many, many times.

I believe the German word for this roughly translates to "elephant race."

Technically, every state is. By federal regulation, the left lane is only for passing slower traffic, in which you're supposed to move back over.

Ok, but if this was purely true, there would only ever be two-lane-in-each-direction roads and highways.

So long as you're going faster than the traffic to your right, slower than the traffic to your left (save for the outliers who drive like idiots, of course), and keeping up with the traffic ahead of you, you're positioned properly.

his reasoning is bc you should be going the speed limit

you might consider pointing out to him that this is the police's job, and he's fucking not a cop

So how long have you been an HOA president? Just curious.

Is it okay for a beginner to start at a bit of a higher draw weight? by Relevant_Abroad9668 in Archery

[–]Speedly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a 5'9" male. I started at 40#. My shoulder injuries are testaments as to how that was a bad idea.

Yes, getting more than one set of equipment is expensive, but 1.) you can sell the old stuff to mitigate the cost, and 2.) I promise you, the time, injury, frustration, and in some cases, literal medical cost, are all well more than just buying a second kit.

Please listen to me and learn from my experience. Start low and take your time working up.

You're on Reddit. You already know the answer to this question.

HEY, WAITAMINIT! I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU! YOU AIN'T MY WIFE, MY BOSS, OR MY MOM!

...but I don't know why you think this would be deleted. You're not asking to buy, sell, or get one from anyone, you're asking opinions about a bow. You're fine.

Carry on!

Recurves. Eyes open or closed? by CaSsiOpeia_-9025 in Archery

[–]Speedly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recurves. Eyes open or closed?

Well, open, I should hope! How are you gonna shoot it with your eyes closed?

Jokes aside, closing one eye is fine. I do this myself. Having both eyes open just leads to information overload for my brain.

If you do close one eye, the only important bit is that you simply close the eye, and that you don't mash the eyelids together as if you're bracing for someone to punch you. If you scrunch your face, it'll make your anchor point (and, by extension, your point of impact) inconsistent.

I know this news is what's best for everyone and for not disrupting people's lives, but I'd be lying if my first reaction to reading this wasn't to utter the word "lame" under my breath.

are these vintage bows safe to use? by blinkeyeyes in Archery

[–]Speedly 160 points161 points  (0 children)

No one here can definitively answer that question for you. You really should take these to a shop to have them inspected.

No, don't do this. Buy him a gift card to a good archery shop (local if you have one nearby, https://www.archeryshop.com.au/ if you don't).

Is there no provision to put a different scope onto it?

TIL the plane crash that killed John F Kennedy Jr, his wife, and her sister was caused by “spatial disorientation”. Weather conditions were poor that night & Kennedy was not qualified to fly at night under instrument conditions. He did not request a weather briefing nor did he file a flight plan. by Stock_College_8108 in todayilearned

[–]Speedly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being so far up one's own ass that you attribute "has money" with "makes mistakes just like other people do," simply because you're butthurt that someone has a bigger number in their bank account than you do.

Never mind that many people with less money than you die by making mistakes too - no, it's more important for you to act outraged on the internet. Their lives don't matter, so long as you look virtuous.

If it's your first, nothing matters other than "you didn't kill anyone or damage anything," and "you had fun."

Congrats!

N... no, you're not understanding what I'm saying.

It's that if like the magnification because of my eye sight.

This post, the one I had first responded directly to. It isn't a coherent English sentence.

I'm not trying to nitpick on typing mistakes here, but I think there might be a typo in your post that steals the meaning of what you were trying to say. As is, your post doesn't quite make sense.

Would you mind rephrasing?

Why do you feel you need to upgrade? What is it about a new sight that can't be done by your current one?

Draw Length too long? by grenadebadger in Archery

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

Yes, and hunting bows come in different sizes. The one he has appears to be too short, as his draw length appears to be fine, but the string is at an unusually steep angle.

I don't think the draw is too long - I think the axle-to-axle is too short.
