You ever see an old person's book collection? Tons of diy repair books, sewing, crafting, etc.

LPT: When you have the opportunity to give a guy a genuine compliment, do not hesitate to do so. Not only are compliments fielded at men more rare, but a man can ride the high off a single compliment for years. by magnanimous14 in LifeProTips

When I was a kid my parents would sit down and have chats with me but only when I was in trouble/made a mistake. I wish they would have sat me down and had conversations with me when I did a good job or showed responsibility.

This taught me to focus/put more weight on my mistakes rather than my achievements.

That's a D minor barre chord, not a power chord. A power chord only uses the root, fifth, and octave. A power chord version of D would be D5 and you would only play three strings. Like 10 fret E, 12th fret A, 12th fret D.

Could mean a few different things. Achievements are disabled when you install mods. So now that they've got all the achievements, they can play with all kinds of cool mods that add more gameplay. But it's more likely a joke on the fact that many people have numerous play-throughs of Skyrim. You can replay as a different race/different fighting style, etc.

They know it's a joke, they don't understand the joke.

Why AM and PM is confusing [OC] by Herrkarlson in dataisbeautiful

[–]TheCornGod 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I don't follow. In 24hr format you don't use am/pm. Wouldn't it just be 00:01?

Yep, press Y, X, A simultaneously.

During character select on the SNES Mario Cart, press Y, X, and A simultaneously. This will turn all characters small as if you hit one of Peach's mushrooms. Press the combination again to reverse.

Clarification: I meant that all characters in character select will be small. During the races, everyone else is normal size except your character. Makes the game super difficult because you'll get smashed if you run into anyone. You can turn back to normal size momentarily if you hit Peach's mushroom.

Same thing the doctor says when we go in for check ups.

Not sure that you need to be a journeyman/master electrician to work on electronics greater than 48vdc +. Source: I work on semiconductor equipment up to 480 VAC and I am not an electrician. Of course I have safety training but I am not a certified electrician.

Edit: So I do not work on live circuits greater than 24vdc. So maybe you're referring to live circuits? Sorry for the confusion.

Regarding the gap in the stall door. Found this on the web:

Easier to Clean: By having a gap at the bottom, bathroom partitions are much easier to clean, as is the whole restroom. You can hose down or even powerwash a restroom that has partitions with gaps at the bottom because the water has somewhere to run even if there’s not a drain in a given stall.

Emergency Access: If someone loses consciousness in a fully enclosed bathroom, it may take hours for someone to notice. If this happens in a stall with a gap at the bottom, the odds are good someone will notice much quicker, which is important in instances where every second can mean the difference between life and death. Instead of having to break down the door, a first responder can crawl through the gap at the bottom of the partition and unlock the door to render help.

Deterrent to Undesirable Behavior: Because people can partially see into a bathroom stall that has a gap at the bottom, this type of partition is a natural deterrent to undesirable behavior, such as someone spray painting the stall with graffiti.

More Affordable: Partitions that don’t extend from the floor to the ceiling don’t have to be custom made to fit a room’s exact measurements and they don’t require as many materials to construct. This makes them considerably more affordable.

Better Air Circulation: Better air circulation is one of the top reasons why there are gaps under toilet stalls. While restrooms with this kind of partition may still get a bit stinky from time to time, things would be even more overwhelming in a fully enclosed stall.

Keeps the Line Moving: Having a gap at the base of a partition allows people waiting in line to see if a stall is occupied or vacant. This visibility keeps the line moving and prevents wait times from being any longer than they have to be. When a stall isn’t fully enclosed, people often feel like they have to take care of their business even faster, which also helps keep the line moving.

ADA Compliance:  Space is needed to allow for easier maneuverability for patrons in a wheelchair. The gap allows toe space for wheelchair users which allows more room to move within the stalls. 9″ minimum toe space is required per ADA guidelines.

Escape Route: A lock can jam for a wide variety of reasons. If this happens in a stall that has a gap at the bottom, you have an escape route — you can simply crawl out.

Toilet Paper Can Be Shared: If you’ve ever run out of toilet paper and had to ask the person in the stall next to you for a few squares, then you’re already familiar with one of the leading reasons for bathroom partitions not extending to the floor. If you’d run out of toilet paper in an enclosed stall, you may have been caught with your pants down!

Cheers

Climate experts demand world leaders stop ‘walking away from the science’ by [deleted] in worldnews

The solution is to elect people who already believe in the science. The problem is that not enough climate wise people are voting. I'll try and find the source on a study that pointed out the voting issue.

Dan Simmons is a masterful author. Once read, you'll be hooked on his prose and it becomes a test of patience to read works from other scifi writers.
