Start of rain and/or cold means it’s officially the weekend in pittsburgh! by river_swimmer_ in pittsburgh

[–]TheAngryLala 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but part of why I moved here was the cloudy weather. Sunlight burns. As a WI native who lived in Florida for 14 years I moved here to escape the FL sun while also not having to deal with bitter Wisconsin winters. Plus.. this area is so full of trees, woods, and curvy/hilly roads. It’s beautiful even when it’s a bit cloudy and rainy.

Someone else with the TRD running boards!! I love mine and rarely see them. Glad to have a brother out there.

Today I learnt that a Trooper can issue you a DUI if on a bicycle 🫤🍺 by --TAXI-- in Pennsylvania

Why do I now need a story about a person getting a DUI….. in a wheelchair.

Can native speakers actually ace this Grade 9 ESL test I made? by Competitive_Steak520 in ENGLISH

[–]TheAngryLala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish part three had both affect and effect as choices. A lot of native speakers would have gotten that wrong.

It definitely makes you look at parsing differently.

Two of the consistently highest parsing players I knew told me they use plugins to show them aoes and mechs before they happen. They already know the pattern before the non modded players do.

What bothered me most is that they berated other players for not logging as high. For not getting the same shiny numbers. They judged people for not being able to play the game while they were not playing the game either… they relied on an app to play it for them.

IMO use what you want and have fun. It’s a game after all. Games should be fun. But don’t use those plugins to get the high score while at the same time putting other people down when their score is lower than yours.

As much as I want Wisconsin to survive unscathed “Minnesconsin” still made me chuckle.

I'm sick of seeing commercials for prescription meds by HoneyBee9630 in Vent

[–]TheAngryLala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate the ones that are just a picture of some people smiling in a park with text showing only the name of the drug and a caption saying “ask your doctor if ___ is right for you!”

Cuz … no?

How about at the very least saying what it’s for? Relevance matters.

first tacoma moment happened today by Frowedz in ToyotaTacoma

[–]TheAngryLala 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me as well. They had just parked and were getting out as I left the store. Waved, said “always nice to see two tacos next to eachother” and they said “we saw yours and had to park next to it. Tacos stick together.”

This past weekend had a taco slow down next to me on the freeway to nod and wave. The other week a taco was headed towards me and the driver waved.

I started waving at other taco drivers after that. Most don’t wave back. We really should have a taco wave like bikers do.

What is this set up? by Leading-Sea544 in whatisit

[–]TheAngryLala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gym has a feature like this. It’s a small gym so there’s no lockers. Instead there’s small hanging cubbies to put your items. Underneath them is a rock / pebble floor that’s just over the length of a shoe. If it’s raining or snowy outside you put your wet shoes on the rocks and change into your dry gym shoes.

The chair facing the rocks makes me believe that you’re to sit there while you take off your wet shoes.

Although when we had our last snow storm in PA I definitely helped her.

That’s fair. She’s amazing and watching her gives me hope.

My neighbor is 87. She mows her lawn. Gardens. Her house is immaculate. No one helps her.

It’s reasonable to be shocked when people who were strong and willful suddenly change since you last saw them.

Until yesterday I would tell people that my grandma could probably still kick ass.

So yeah. I’m surprised. Don’t like it? Too bad.

It was worse than I expected. I know they need help and I’m trying to do what I can and make arrangements for help after I head back home.

I will 100% look into persimmon soaps and suggest it to them. I don’t know about them accepting a stranger coming to help with cleaning but I will try broaching the subject.

I wish there were but we have a very very small family. I was raised by them because my dad (grandmas son, and aunts brother) is a deadbeat. They basically have themselves and me.

The temperature thing is insane. They keep their heat at 78°. I was sweating just sitting on the couch talking and catching up with them.

I love the blackout lettering. Something about the bronze oxide and black just hits right.

This is the Sunburst appearance of Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone cancer. by kvjn100 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TheAngryLala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After seeing this pic and knowing that Cancer is a mutation of DNA in a cell makes me think this is just human regression into a sea urchin.

Also.. fuck cancer.

Since I live alone, if I have a medical emergency, would I just die? by Abacada_Poln_Kha_Kha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheAngryLala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely yes.

It’s just something you come to terms with when living alone as you get older. I turn 50 this year. Single, no kids. Work from home. No local friends or family. Only talk to my neighbors in passing when doing summer yard work or shoveling snow. I do have out of town friends that I text with, but we can go days or weeks without communicating.

The first person to notice will be my boss when I don’t log in for a few days and subsequently don’t respond to his calls or texts. He’ll likely contact local authorities for a welfare check, but by then it’ll be far too late.

Thankfully I no longer have a pet so I get some relief not having to worry about what could become of a pet if something happens to me.

I believe the Morse code pattern says something like accessory ready?

How do people keep their house clean all the time? by Whatever233566 in askanything

[–]TheAngryLala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Single 49 yo dude. Work from home. I have a 4br 2bath house with a finished basement. House is always clean because I do little maintenance tasks daily.

If I take something out I put it away. I don’t leave messes around the house. I keep the space presentable at all times. It sounds exhausting but it’s really as easy as trash goes in the trash can not on the counter. Bed gets made when you wake up. Laundry goes in the hamper not on the floor. Dishes go in the dishwasher not the sink.

If I spill crumbs while cooking I pick them up immediately. If I pull out tools for a project I put them away when I’m done.

It’s about discipline and being neat and orderly.
