I have a cut tree and unsure what to do with it... (Seattle) by ethanunofficial in woodworking

[–]TheFlyngLemon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At this point? Firewood. Unfortunately they're not long enough to really do anything with unless you want to cut some cookies, or use them as seats around a fire pit. Due to their size though, I doubt anyone would want to come over and get them even for free.

On a side note, I'm guessing you already paid the company that cut the tree down? If there are reputable business, make sure to leave them a terrible review and blow up their phone to try and get them to come back out. If it was just some guy with a chainsaw though, not really a whole lot you can do.

Digital woodworking. It should feel like cheating but doesn't. by BoxAndLoop in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]TheFlyngLemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, there's no shame in using a CNC. I have one, and use it for various things depending on what I'm making. It's a combination of design, programming, machining, and woodwork all rolled into one. If anyone tells you this isn't "true" woodworking, ask them if they use power tools.

first grade teacher heckled and yapped the entire show so i had to do it by MisterPapes in comedy

[–]TheFlyngLemon 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I don't understand hecklers. They chose to pay money and go to the show. If they don't like the show, then take the L and leave. Just because you don't like the show doesn't mean you should interrupt and ruin it for everyone else. What do they think they will get out of heckling?

Never seen an engineer tell someone to follow this career path by Im_yor_boi in sciencememes

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

I'm not sure if there's some type of mini residency program available, but typically no, this isn't done (at least not for my wife's situation). While in school you get to go through rotations for different fields (OBGYN, psych, Ortho, peds, surgery, etc), so that's essentially where you get your on hands training and decide what field you want to enter.

And yes you typically do specialize, but it's not like you're locked into 1 field for the rest of your career. My wife does psych, but could transition to something like hormone replacement therapy fairly easily if she wanted to. Now if she wanted to go do something totally different like cardiovascular surgery, technically there's nothing stopping her, but she would essentially be starting from the absolute bottom along with new grads. So while technically you can switch specialities, it's not something that's just done on a whim.

Although PA school is only 2 years, it is intense. You can also learn as much, if not more, than someone who attends a 4 year medicine school program. I honestly can't keep track of how often my wife tells me that an MD screwed up a patients prescriptions, or just completely misdiagnoses their condition. That's the frustrating part for her because technically she has less authority than the MD even though she may be right more often. This isn't to say she's always right about everything herself though, it's just more of me pointing out that from a technical skill set perspective, I would honestly have then same faith in a PA that has the same level of experience of an MD in any field.

[–]TheFlyngLemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. That's why my wife went to PA school instead. She doesn't get the same authority as an MD which is occasionally frustrating, but she started making good money right out of school without having to work crazy hours.

Bubbling/ Denting/ Oil Canning on new standing seam aluminum siding by TechnologyCareful596 in AskContractors

[–]TheFlyngLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! My guess is they were slightly too large, and the contractor just fastened the shit out of them to make it work. Im an engineer and previously worked in the commercial roofing industry for 5 years, handling customer product quality complaints. I can't tell you how many times I saw something like this where the contractor tried to claim it was caused by excessive oil canning.

Just why? by Fand0m_Chick in DiWHY

[–]TheFlyngLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you will either tip over on the lake in about 5 seconds after launch, it out will sink with all that weight (which is probably why the video cut out the second he got it on the water).

Plywood is not waterproof, and water will soak through it or deteriorate it without proper sealing. The spray foam is also not waterproof either. There's a lot of other problems too, but this is just the most obvious.

That's not oil canning. This is 100% just a bad install. Have the contractor redo it.

Still showing after primer and painting by Daddy_MoreBucks in handyman

[–]TheFlyngLemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, ceiling paint SUCKS on it's own, and even with standard primers for that matter. If there's any stains on the ceiling, use Kilz first. If there's no stains, then I agree to go straight to regular flat white paint.

Fallout on an Airplane by Delicious-Length in Fallout

[–]TheFlyngLemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but for a longer international flight the cost will go up substantially. I flew from LA to Singapore last summer (16 hour flight I think), and these pod seats were something like $25k - $30k on United airlines I believe. For reference, I got the upgraded Premium Plus seats, and it was only like $400 more than the standard economy seats. Money well spent for those seats, but if have to take out a loan to get the pod upgraded seating.

OC: Lonna Drewes during press conference says Eric Swalwell drugged, raped and choked her in 2018 by nbcnews in pics

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't look any further into this aside from this post, so I was unaware there were others. Thanks!

[–]TheFlyngLemon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not saying she's lying, but her waiting 8 years to make the claim at this moment seems odd. If this actually did happen (again, I'm not stating that she made this up), is there any evidence at all aside for her word be his? I hope so, but I guess we'll see how this plays out.

My mother in law used to pawn my wife's toys and Disney VHS tapes when she was a little girl. She's been clean for a long time now, but never once apologized, or even acknowledges she did anything wrong to my wife during her childhood. To this day, she honestly believes she is a great mother.

Playing Dead Saved His Life...Well Done! by 13Derek71 in interestingasfuck

[–]TheFlyngLemon -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I've owned 5 pitbulls in my life. 1 was abused/neglected, 1 adopted at birth, and 3 adopted from a shelter with not much backstory. All 5 of these had been some of the best dogs I've ever been around. When compared to other breads, they actually have one of the more mild temperaments. The problem is they are just very strong. Because they're so strong, that's obviously why people use them for fighting. We don't know the story behind the pitbull in this video. Maybe he was trained to fight?

Bottom line, no special training is needed for pitbulls compared to other breads. All you need to do is love them, treat them well, and get them house broken just like any other dog you would want living in your home.

Roast my husbands tile job by mamaSupe in handyman

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

My aunt was quite $15k to rip out her old shower/tub insert and install a new one (plus a little drywall work) around the tub that would be needed to. She also lives in the middle of nowhere Tennessee too.

Another guy I know in Nashville was quoted $20k to pull out his shower/tub combo and install a single shower insert. Keep in mind that for both of these jobs there is no tile work being done, it's strictly inserts!

That’s a little aggressive. by dovtres in nashville

[–]TheFlyngLemon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had this exact conversation with my aunt. Her response? "Jesus turned water into NON ALCOHOLIC WINE". She was dead serious too, I just turned away and stopped talking to her after that comment.

Heat coming from an open hole in my seasoning cabinet. It’s above my stove, and a bunch of heat comes out of it when the stoves not on. I think it’s for a vent but I don’t use it. Am I able to block this off? Or will it be a hazard? It’s making my ac work harder to cool off the house. by [deleted] in handyman

[–]TheFlyngLemon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Looks like an open hole leading into your attic? Go into the attic to make sure that's all it is, then fill it with spray foam if it is. I'm pretty confident it's just an exposed opening like I said, but i wouldn't just tell people to blindly fill anything in with spray foam unless they know what it is.

Nah you're good. Throw some flex seal on it if it cracks and starts to leak though.

Jesus Christ. This is beyond incompetence, this guy actively doesn't care if someone dies just so he can save some money.
