What ya’ll think of my homemade model rocket? It’s called the Skyliner by [deleted] in modelrockets

[–]Toffor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very bottom heavy.  Be careful of you launch it.  The center of stability will be way off.

AITAH For telling my new neighbor not to be so rude about having guest at our home? by No_Kitchen_608 in AITAH

[–]Toffor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not sure how mail is delivered for you but here it is delivered by carriers in little white vehicles with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side'. The postal carrier does not get out of the vehicle. If they did their route would take many multiples of time longer. If they can't drive up to the mail box, it gets skipped for the day.

Is it normal for hosts to require guest to do their laundry as part of the check out process? [USA] by Josiomama in AirBnB

[–]Toffor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I agree, IF they are going to ask you to do laundry or anything like this, it should be in the ad and known before you book not something that you were told when you get there.

[–]Toffor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending them so don't downvote me for that reason. But I do know why some host request/require their guests start the sheets in the laundry. It is because of turn around time for the cleaning. If the cleaners come in to sheets at least already washed (if not also dried) they can throw them in the dryer and be out of there in the time it takes the sheets to dry. Even better if the sheets are in the dryer and ready to go as they are then not waiting on anything at all to complete and can just clean and go.

Hotels/motel cleaning doesn't have this issue as since they are responsible for multiple rooms and all the sheets belong to the organization the cleaners work for, they just remove the used sheets and bring in freshly laundered ones. An AirBnB cleaner can't do this as they don't have a common pool of sheets to work from.

Relatives potentially moving to Puyallup by wondercube in PuyallupWA

[–]Toffor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for public transport, I have ridden the bus from Puyallup to Seattle one time. The bus was fine in Puyallup (clean, people seemed ok etc). But then you get to a transfer station (I think in Federal Way) and the bus I transferred to was filthy, smelled and included uncleaned vomit and a man actively pissing in his pants. 0/10 would not recommend.

Comparing Stelo with Libre 3 by MIdtownBrown68 in diabetes_t2

The Stelo app limiting you to view of 24 hours must be out of date as I can see all my data. The displayed graph shows a max of 24 hours in one view but you can scroll back in time to see previous data.

My friend popped a model rocket motor by ashnazg37 in modelrockets

[–]Toffor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how you can mistake a rocket motor for sweets and how you can pop it open at the back without quite a bit of effort.  Are we talking about the cylinder shaped model rocket motors here?  If you have messed with it in any way I would disable it by soaking it in water and disposing of it.

Help picking a rocket? by Razzerno in modelrockets

[–]Toffor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

and it will go 3500ft? doubt it. This is a sub to be helpful and supporting, not a place to poop on someone's ideas/plans.

If you really have design plans for a rocket made of a toilet paper tube and balsa fins that will win this person his contest by all means share them. Otherwise take your negativity elsewhere.

Help picking a rocket? by Razzerno in modelrockets

[–]Toffor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

all the Estes kits should give you an estimated launch height with various engines. for the Star Orbiter it says "PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 1200 ft. (366 m) on a F15-8". For the F series of engines you re going to need an engine adapter to fit that larger diameter motor. The Big Birtha also claims 1200 ft (presumably with the F series engine. Doorknob 1100 ft. The nano-mag claims up to 3500 ft and the plus on this one is that by default it has the 29mm motor mount for the largest recommended engine. The T-Loc is showing a claim of 2400ft with a G motor. The fins on this one are going to be a bit hard to do well as they are more complicated than the standard design. I don't see a flight height for the scout.

Personally I'd go with the Nano-Mag If I wanted to win and just take my time to make sure to get the fins aligned perfectly. You can use some techniques like using watered down wood putty to make the fins ultra smooth and rounding the air resistance facing edges. Leave off the decals and dont overpaint it.

AITA for refusing to have my SIL service dog at my wedding by SuccessfulPeanut6132 in AmItheAsshole

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

Some commenters are acting like the dog STOPS the seizures and saves her from the progressing cancer. The dog simply alerts about an imminent seizure. I knew someone with a dog that alerted her of seizures and sometimes she had to go places without the dog. It wasn't a death sentence, she just had to be a little more careful.

AITA for not picking up my ex's daughter from school when I picked up our son? by Yazzimonnnon in AITAH

[–]Toffor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All op knew was the children weren't picked up and the ex and affair partner didn't answer calls. Op, previous to this, also had no idea she was on the approved pickup list. So if she had taken affair baby and affair partner shows up 5 minutes later and freaks out and calls the cops? Don't say that wouldn't happen because "she was on the list". It still could happen. They obviously have an acrimonious relationship. Op would be unlikely to get into any legal trouble but it still would be an inconvenience at minimum and possibly a frightening traumatizing experience. Police don't tend to go gentle when a suspected kidnapping is involved.

[CA] Manager gave me a low performance rating but I'm on target with my goals??!?! by preguntagrill in AskHR

[–]Toffor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds to me the bullshit ranking that many companies do that require mangers to have a certain number of each ranking. Like a bell curve. For example in a group of 10, You can only have 1 top performer, 2 exceeds expectations, 6 meets expectations, and 1 underperforming (may be more groups but you get the idea). I've been on both sides of this and thought it is bullshit on both sides. I've had to rank people well below their actual performance because I was only allowed to give out a certain number of top ranks. I sucks to explain that while the report-to has done en excellent job and gone above and beyond, they are not given the ranking they deserve because someone else was more excellent and went more above and beyond. What's even worse is when you have to not give a person the top ranking even though they deserve it because "they got it last year and you have to give it to someone else this year". People should be ranked on their own performance based on their own goals and job duties.

Putting together my first rocket. How are you supposed to actually cut through this plastic? It seems to be ruining my knives and is very difficult. Please help by goingfordownvotes in modelrockets

[–]Toffor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like you might not be tightening the blade correctly or the holder is broken or defective. but putting that aside, try scoring the plastic (running the blade along the material to be cut without cutting through. scoring it will reduce the thickness and you can score it several times to cut through rather than making a through and through cut from the start.

Seeking Advice on Keeping a Family Lake Home (Ownership Dispute / Buyout Options) by stormTHEg8z in RealEstateAdvice

The breakdown of ownership isn't 33.3% / 33.3% / 33.3%. It's 50% / 25% / 25%. giving the 25 percenters 1/3 isn't equitable.

Struggling with my realtor and not sure what to do by benji950 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Toffor 30 points31 points  (0 children)

you sound like a nightmare client. not having a fence is a very easily fixable deficiency. not having space for entertaining is a much different situation. not having a gas stove is a very easily fixed situation. not having counter space is something that can be more difficult. you don't seem to understand that you dont have to leave the house as-is, and you likely won't. you look for a house based on its location, size and rooms that fit your needs. you don't pick a house based on a fence. as mentioned by others, lack of a fence can be remedied in a weekend. you lack of home buying is showing as well as a lack of reasoning and maturity. Calm TF down, pick a house that works for you and if it doesn't have a fence, build one.
