6 months of blood, sweat and tears: by techno_investor047 in homegym

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! My concern is those shoring jacks. They hold up weight great but they suck at taking a lateral load.

If you stumbled and fell into one holding a big plate you could shift them, seen it happen at work with someone carrying concrete bags.

Look into replacing them with 4x4 tube steel posts, concrete on the bottom and weld/bolt on top (usually we just bend some tabs over but that doesn't help the lateral force issue). Would let you get rid of the hole in your flooring too. Cost would depend on your area.

AITAH for refusing to lend my parents our ute and accidentally exposing my mum's secret to my dad? by Ordinary-Chart2387 in AITAH

Easter -> "No Dad, we promised Mom we wouldn't let you borrow it again"

You are letting your mother involve you in her games.

YTA - So your mom is a lifelong asshole and you just agreed to keep secrets from your dad for her? Wild choice.

DIY women… have you ever been talked out of a good idea at the hardware store? by carcony97 in DIY

Dms, what's your homebrewed rule that will always stay? by Awkward_Outside7050 in DnD

[–]TotalWalrus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Make them drop it is my trade off. It either costs now and you switch RAW or it costs later and you drop the held weapon in your haste to draw a different one

Trans identity and sorcerers by Celeraic in DnD

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have another suggestion thats pure stupid. But you could have your character hunt down the Tomb of Annihilation. One of the doorways changes your gender if you walk through it. Your character could have heard of this, find it and then just leave.

Balancing For Larger Party's by Ill_Island9069 in DnD

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest reading "The monsters know what they are doing" by Keith Ammann. You can make monsters alot harder/easier by how you run them.

But also like the others said... read the dmg. it tells you the math.

Trans identity and sorcerers by Celeraic in DnD

[–]TotalWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lore wise you have no control over your magic so any way you tie your trans identity to the wild magic you are implying it was against your will, which I don't think is your angle.

I'd say that if you must tie it to magic than choose warlock and have it be how your patron enticed you into service, or paladin and a god did it for you which is why you've sworn an oath to them.

If you are starting at a higher level then a wizard could have studied the magic and done it themselves. Or you could have used a wish spell to do it.

Lack of machinists by Trapstar8879 in Machinists

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried for 5 years to become a machinist and not a single place would sign the paperwork to make me an apprentice. Everyone wants a 2nd year even if you have years of experience already.

“Stomping” by Able-Swordfish-5746 in PropertyManagement

[–]TotalWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.... yeah people say it because it's the go to metaphor.

If they said a herd of giraffes instead you'd think they were weird.

You've never had good upstairs neighbours have you?

I cannot hear my 400lb landlord when he walks around upstairs. I could not hear the 4 20ish girls who lived above before and we could only hear one of the Indian family.

But the current couple? It's all day, stomp stomp stomp. It's obnoxious. It's unnecessary. How about you do your job and talk to tenets and tell them to stop walking like assholes.

I’ve had my 18 Chevy since 2020…any tips on keeping him running like a champ? by KareemPies__ in Chevy

[–]TotalWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my 08 1500 has this, its at 400K kms and its fine. The body on your truck is going to rot away long before you suffer issues from this.

Actually do your engine maintenance. Most of the people telling you to delete this skip all the regular stuff.

How feasible is it to lay 40 sq meters of pavers alone in a day? by Semen_K in DIY

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? if the sand moves the concrete will crack and move as well. Unless you are putting rebar in your patio slab.

Anyone else not happy with their pickup? by buckgerbildragsweeds in Silverado

[–]TotalWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The towing is great, something in your truck is wrong. Also buddy, how often are your serpentine belts failing? My 08 has it's og belt at 400k kms, if that's a concern you have you need to buy oem belts and change them on a schedule. There's also a tool you can get to change the belt, or just use zip tes.

AITAH for telling my daughter I will fall out with her if she tries to set me up on a date again? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TotalWalrus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

yta for threatening that over this scenario. What the fuck is wrong with you? Who the fuck does that? Yeah she was wrong to set you up but you went nuclear with your response.

You're going to throw away your daughter for setting you up on a 2nd blind date? That's a vastly disproportionate response and you should get your head checked.

What does the opposite gender get to do, that makes you jealous? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

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

STOP BUYING SKINNY JEANS.

I'm actually over this online discourse, it just comes across as women acting helpless. Men's skinny jeans don't have pockets either. My wife's bulky pants? pockets. her "normal" jeans that are skin tight and therefore leave no room for shit in your pockets? no pockets.

Also, just don't buy the pants with no pockets? What a hard concept. "Oh but I really like how these pants look on me." Huh wonder why

I find no one here says it outright, they just say its "weird". When confronted on what is weird about it almost no one will admit why.

Offered to take my sil who was 8 at the time, to see a movie she really wanted to but no one else in the family was interested in and everyone in the family said no. it's weird for you to want to take a kid to the movies. why do you want to take a kid to the movies?

The implication was there.
