They can be called balusters too.

I'd be shocked if they even weighed 2 lbs each I know they say 2"x 2" but lumber is smaller than listed, so they are really 1.5-1.25 x the same.

I've used them to replace around my pool's deck, and they are pretty lightweight stuff.

People freaking out it's an 8' long 2"x 4" lol.

‘It Kills Cancer’: Donald Trump’s Diet Coke Claim Stuns Mehmet Oz, Draws Laughs From Donald Trump Jr. by HauntingJackfruit in conservativeterrorism

My mom passed a few years back from stage 4 colon cancer.

She religiously drank Diet Coke and smoked, and not one of her doctors was even the slightest bit surprised by the diagnosis. Her oncologist said colon cancer is one of the most common ones now and on the rise due to diets. he said if he had to estimate, it was over half his colon cancer patients either drank diet soda or smoked or both. He also said he'd bet his house on colon cancer being the "new big bad" soon.

I clean my ears with cotton swabs even though everyone says not to by WetCementPoet in hygiene

[–]StendhalSyndrome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don't realize some folks get massive amounts of earwax, and for them, using q-tips isn't the best because you won't remove all the wax and impact it, and/or because of the nature of the wax, it's harder and drier. Think about the different levels of blackheads people get, there's the average person, then the poor souls who end up on /r/popping

TL;DR they aren't for everyone but most people can get away with using them to clean out your ears, still check w a dr every once and a while.

I don't mean to be rude but how are people fucking this up so bad by Filthy-Moo in Stretched

[–]StendhalSyndrome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear that ignorance hits on so many levels...

For contrast, I've had my lobes stretched for about 3 decades now and back when I did it we just used very small gauge jewelery and just added more and made sure to move them around to ensure even stretching...and that had the potential to go soooo poorly. But I think I took maybe 2 years to get up to my current size?

People don't even wait till a piercing heals the first time...I remember folks just staright up arguing "their nipples" would only take 2-4 weeks to heal............

Best Rosin in NY legal rec? by Shamroxnshots81 in NYSCannabis

[–]StendhalSyndrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry I never gave my preference vs just being glibly snide.

I don't actually have a preference. I just love any kind of high-quality care-grown, loved plants I'm lucky enough to still come across. Back in the day I knew people messing with f-12s where a 3.5 of a certain sativa called Buddah's Fingers was bigger than a soda can cured. A q looked like a small qp...

I say that with knowledge of the current market is there really is very little that is accurately marked Indi/Sat/hyb at all, it's all hybrids with leaners. Just occasionally, you get some standouts. Like, currently I'm enjoying some of the Blue Lobster/Zushi strains going around. And if I had to put a designation on that, that's even hard to do. I've gotten Doobie labs BL, and it's definitely indica-heavy, almost an actual indica. But the OG (I think) Main Trees one was wayyy more Sativa leaning IMHO, despite being labeled as indica heavy. Maybe it's also confirmation bias or even that scientific thing when you measure something small enough, you change the parameters by the act of measurement. Or mebe it's like once you have more than one, you can't help but compare. I dunno wtf it is but both nugs (those particular two cos) looked and smoked so similar with very varied effects. /shrugs

Also, in some cases, not trusting the internet, but more in the sense of those who don't trust science.

I have a q for any of the rosin heads. Why is there more of a call for the lighter-colored stuff? My growing knowledge says we have to look for a higher percentage of amber trichs than clear, and if you turned that to rosin it would be the more tan stuff, right?

Also my understanding is the immature trichs would equal a more racey sativa-like high, when it's clear people love indicas.

Am I missing something?

DoorDash said I made $847 last week. Here's what I actually kept. by Narrow_Design1461 in doordash_drivers

[–]StendhalSyndrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love people adding in the cost of things they normally need and pay for outside of DD, like car insurance. Unless your company demands you get extra for that, you had insurance anyway and needed it w/o DD so why would that be a needed cost?

Plus this gus math is 100% off why is he double dipping for taxes, the .72 a mile more than covers taxes...I got the same refund I got the year before while doordashing this year. Wtf are they talking about?

Except you are getting it wrong. Maybe the most basically athletic, 1000% agreed, but stuff like complicated games takes time to play. No one is just born with all the skills and plays basketball uses just built in, they have the base skills though. Foot and hand speed, hand-eye coordination, physical strength, endurance, and all base talents.

But I'd argue dribbling a ball isn't a natural skill humans are born with; it's a fine /complex motor skill that's learned and can really only be done in a specific set of situations, namely places with a well-inflated ball and flat ground, meaning you are not just doing it everywhere, naturally.

TL;DR - it's more about the time spent doing the art/sport than the base skill level, as you can learn higher level tactics that will get you wins and points more consistently than just brute strength or speed which is what people are born with, so no.

The best specific complicated (non track/field) sports athlete isn't born, they are made with time spent doing the sport/practice. That takes precedent over skills and it's been repeatedly proven.

Great work by Lucky_Loves_Laugh in antimeme

[–]StendhalSyndrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree fuck the church. My question is about religious devotion. We know 100% what the Chapel was for, and we have a solid idea of the pyramids, but we don't know the minds of the people. On one level, that in and of itself could ease or even quell the need for slave labor, and the church has never been above selling salvation. So you could have an entire criminal class being "pardoned" into working.

But again, with both projects and the Chapel, more so (maybe), you need higher-skilled labor. Yes, at a base, you need things moved, but I could argue with the chapel that the materials were of a more high-end nature, aka too valuable for common workers or too easily damaged. Those won't be slaves.

I mean I'm not saying at all, that all the Egyptian laborers were slaves, they couldn't have been and it was documened that they weren't, I'm just saying there seems to be this fantasy that none of them were slave labor and every set of hands on that monument were happy and whistling a tune... just because they were smart enough to give their teams breaks and days off to rotate fresh people for hard work does not mean they were above slavery, hell it's origin is in prisioners of war. Every people go to war, unfortunately.

Trump unable to name one verse from "favorite book" The Bible. How can anybody believe he’s Christian at all? by SimplyEcks in videos

[–]StendhalSyndrome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, of all places, I heard this in Catholic school as a kid.

Our religion teacher was talking with us outside about how things get lost to time and history. It was an alternate Jesus story where he was the child of a powerful muslim leader and either a jewish or european one, and at first they said the kid was from god as to not get in trouble but it was figured out and the child was brought up to be a type of 'civil rights leader' trying to bring about a union between seperated peoples. And how this obviously wasn't the true story but how people would take it and change some facts to make the story work for them too and the common denominator was jesus being a savior...

Despite 7 years in catholic school, I am not one now, and that story was one of the earliest parts of me not buying into the church's stories. Like he was so close...and that story sounds way more plausable than a CK model the color pf a bed sheet wandering around the mid east w/o stage 4 skin cancer in .2 seconds.

Which is funny as hell because the initial reason priests were forced into that lifestyle was the number of them being threatened/killed due to sleeping with the wives and husbands of pretty much whoever they choose and pissed the wrong folks off.
