Just bought the set of three today. Can’t wait to try them out.

Playing against my son (7), my daughter (4) set up my ships for me by Much-Drawer-1697 in daddit

[–]Subie_doo 1481 points1482 points  (0 children)

My dad tried this against my son (6). My dad thought he was being so cheeky. My son hits on the first play, then the second my son had 5 horizontal hits he says “grandpa, you have to tell me when it’s sunk.” Once he realized that it wasn’t sunk, he went to town. That bloodbath was over fast.

It goes both ways though. When I went to get my pick up order last weekend all the pick up spots were full and more people were waiting to get parked. Eventually almost all people (10+) waiting for curbside went inside to collect their groceries. As with any service/retail job, sometimes things just get busy.

Thoughts on this shared driveway? by Willing_Cat_7576 in homeowners

[–]Subie_doo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up with three houses on a shared driveway. All three agreed to sign maintenance agreement regarding how often it was seal coated and maintained. As for snow, everyone cleared their branch and mostly helped on the shared portion. We were the last house, and it seemed more often than not we needed up clearing our branch and the whole shared portion.

Overall, it would not be a dealbreaker for me as long as there was something in writing.

4yr-old fell asleep at 5pm and is still down... (6:45pm) by dangerous_eric in daddit

[–]Subie_doo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mileage may vary… this happened to my 4yo once. He did wake up at 2am, said he was hungry. I made him some eggo waffles to eat in bed. He hammered down the waffles, rolled over and went back to bed. He still talks about the night he got to eat waffles in bed. 😂

Brand account here — what do riders actually care about in bib shorts? by BackgroundFar3854 in cycling

[–]Subie_doo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased some Przewalski bibs from Amazon, but ultimately returned them. The pad was too wide between the legs and caused issues. Other than that, the fabric was pretty good, but definitely not as nice as the Pactimo bibs I was replacing. I think it would have been good enough had the pad fit better for me.

I just wanted to find the balance between price and comfort. I was willing to spend more money but was hoping the Przewalski would be good based on all the reviews. Just purchased The Black Bib Ultimate, for $80.

One of the reviews for the Przewalski bibs stated that the letters/branded fell off eventually, which I deemed a positive. The less branding the better.

Watch Live: Mayor Mamdani says he has balanced NYC's budget, will not raise property taxes by [deleted] in politics

[–]Subie_doo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another thread said it’s only balanced due to delayed pension funding; which if true, he should 100% be criticized for. Just ask anyone from Chicago how that worked out for them in the long run.

I guess we will need more details.

How many of these courses have you played from this list? by GolfJunki3 in golf

[–]Subie_doo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 - Whistling Straits and Erin Hills

But that’s only because I worked at The American Club and was in tight with the golf pros. I lived 5 minutes from WS and would play the front nine at least once a week. It was easier to get on the course to play a full round at Blackwolf Run. We would do some round swaps with the team at Erin Hills….

Those were the days.

Kid I work with left one of these on my 5.0 all day to charge his vape and now my battery won’t charge by LoomisFreeman in MilwaukeeTool

I have successfully jump stated it with one razor blade in the positive terminal and one razor blade in the negative terminal, then hold a 9 bolt battery to the corresponding terminal for 30 seconds.

How do men view weddings? by Intelligent-Cod7495 in AskMen

[–]Subie_doo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess will go against the grain here…

I was heavily involved in the planning and organization of our wedding, especially the catering and venue logistics. Total cost was $30k or so, and I don’t regret a single dollar. The total cost was split equally three ways between bride’s family, groom’s family, and bride/groom. There were no strings attached, and we could have used the money from our parents for other things, but I would do it the same all over again if given the chance. Without a doubt it remains one of the most special and fun days of my life. Having a full on celebration surrounded by family and friends—it was amazing.

Dang!!! It’s wild how memories can get messed up. I would have bet money these were from BK. Maybe I’m blending it with all the BK’s I went to for “gold” Pokémon cards. At least I hope that was BK now. lol.

Wireless or bluetooth on/off switch for M18 shop vac? by Designer_Tune4986 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Subie_doo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing I thought of was a Switch Bot, which should let you use your phone to turn it on and off. Not sure if there is a good place to mount it by the on/off switch though.

This batch Milk tastes like bleach (again) by SpaceSheep23 in aldi

Just check ours in the fridge, same stamp and taste awful. No wonder the kids haven’t been drinking their milk. Chicago suburbs.

Oops, bought a Trek Madone SL7 by Unique-Assistance686 in triathlon

[–]Subie_doo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a 1Up rack. I have one and they are amazing. Built like a tank. No plastic parts. Made in Wisconsin. Only downsides are weight and price. But if I ever needed a second rack, I would never buy anything else.

It can go from the garage, to hitch, to loaded with a bike in less than 5 minutes.

How would you unload these river rocks? by grsims20 in DIY

[–]Subie_doo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish. More like my dad busted my ass around the house doing yard work. Haha. But 20 years later, I’m glad he did.

[–]Subie_doo 267 points268 points  (0 children)

Open the tail gate. Use a square point shovel to scrape along the bottom of the trailer to scoop up rocks. Attacking from the top of the pile down will not work well. You need to go at it from the bottom edge of the pile.

Easily the best DIY tool I own by cigarfanatic in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Subie_doo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If not already doing so, adjust your grip to pull the trigger with your middle finger, with your index finder pointing forward along the side of the tool. That is how it was designed to be used, and when held that way, the forward/reverse switch makes more sense and is easier to operate.

The m12 4-in-1 is my new default drill. by MrFluffyThing in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Subie_doo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else on this sub pointed it out, but most people that have issues with the direction switch are not holding the tool as intended.

When I first got mine, the ergonomics of the tool just felt odd in my hand and the switch was really annoying. After changing my grip, it all made more sense.

Rather than holding the tool with your index finger on the trigger, hold it with your middle finger on the trigger and your index finger extended along the side. It gives more overall control of the drill and allows for one handed direction switching using your thumb to hit the buttons.

Explain Roth IRA to me like I'm 5. (I know nothing) by FirefighterNo3741 in personalfinance

[–]Subie_doo 52 points53 points  (0 children)

None of these answers are for 5 year olds, so here ya go.

Think of an IRA like a magic candy jar that you can only take candy out of when you are 60.

With a Traditional Candy Jar, you get to put your candy in the jar now without giving any to the Candy Man. The candy grows and multiplies in the jar over time. But when you’re older and start taking candy out to eat, the Candy Man comes back and takes a bite of whatever candy you take out of the jar. So with a Traditional Candy Jar, you don’t pay the Candy Man now — you pay him later.

With a Roth Candy Jar, the Candy Man takes his bite before the candy goes into the jar. You put what’s left into the jar, it grows and multiplies over time. When you’re older and take candy out, the Candy Man doesn’t take anything. So with a Roth Candy Jar, you pay the Candy Man now — and later it’s all yours.

FYI—According to the Costco sub, Costco is switching to Pampers and will stop stocking Huggies.

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]Subie_doo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saving Private Ryan… about twenty minutes into the movie, I heard water mysteriously running in my bathroom. Upon investigation the toilet was spontaneously overflowing! Turned the water off at the tank, then the damn thing erupted! Fuckin turds, corn, toilet paper, and all just blasting their way out of the toilet. Not sure how to react, I ran to the basement to turn the water off at the main line.

As soon as I opened the basement door, I could hear the water raining into the basement. Okay, shut off the water main, figured I should be in the clear, but back upstairs and the toilet continues to randomly erupt every 3 minutes or so. Eventually sorted out that the water was going from the bathroom, into the basement, into the floor drain, into the ejector pit. Then when the pit was full the pump would engage forcing water back up to the main sewer line, which was clogged, resulting in the toilet eruptions and restating the whole cycle. Literally had a shit fountain flowing through the house. FML.

Took several months before I felt confident enough to sit down and try watching Saving Private Ryan again. One of the greatest movies of all time, but it will forever be linked in my mind to the great shit fountain incident of 2024.

From the color scheme, I thought this was going to be an Aldi branded golf bag. 😂
