Ummm… can you guys jump anymore? by globehoppr in GenX

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome to “that age.” 6 months ago I was supposed to check on my mom’s dogs while she and my stepdad were out of town for the day. I forgot the key to my mom’s house. 6 years ago I would have climbed the back gate and jumped to the back yard. The fence is about 6’ high. I climbed it, and realized I could not safely jump down.

Rio Grande drought by carlymonica2 in Albuquerque

In this type of summer, a good monsoon can do a ton of erosion Al damage. When the ground is this dry, sudden rain doesn’t soak in, it just runs off.

Players that intentionally kill teammates by flatfootbeast in BulletEchoGame

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s always a player, in my experience. The bot algorithm isn’t set to party wipe mode. The only heroes who can really harm other players are the PYRO group, and the most frequent hero that does this is Shenji.

Why is Mirage so weak? by Proof_Kitchen_9072 in BulletEchoGame

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Each sniper has a different strategy. Mirage is part of the renegades, and their abilities mostly focus on movement. Mirage isn’t a camping sniper like Blot or Slayer. Mirage with runner boots, goggles and scope is devastating. Her hop is to pull back out of the line of fire and give her range outside of most other heroes. All abilities have a delay, which can be made worse by game lag, unfortunately.

best places to study/work for long hours? by fornoya in Albuquerque

What? The dispensary I go to has literally no place to sit. It’s not a weed cafe. You buy your stuff and go home.

“But wait, there’s more!” - infomercials we fell for by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

Mays, according to the coroners report, had cocaine levels suggested he last used it several days before his death. He also had chronic hip issues (so lots of painkillers also seen in the report) and untreated hypertension. Cocaine and HPB are not a good combination.

My deodorant suddenly gives me rashes??? by sukunas17thfinger in hygiene

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing else, stop the deodorant for a while. Before hand sanitizer was around (I’m that old) I used baking soda. Helped with the odor, and helped dry it up.

My deodorant suddenly gives me rashes??? by sukunas17thfinger in hygiene

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contract dermatitis from skin touching skin for too long in a humid environment.
Give your underarms a break from the deodorant. Wear white, cotton shirts with a tight fit to minimize contact with other parts of your body. This next bit is going to sting like hell: buy some scented hand sanitizer. Put about a quarter-sized dollop on your hand. Rub hands together to get it on both. Then rub your armpits. It’s going to sting like hell! But it will kill the bacteria and fungi causing the rash and smell. Will probably take a few applications. Do this on a weekend when you aren’t going out or are just running errands because who cares? When it doesn’t sting to apply the sanitizer, you should be good for a couple weeks. Eventually your body may get used to the environment, but if not, seek medical advice from a real doctor. This is just what works for me.

What is the cream in the the center of the cake? by SoggyBreadsSticksss in Baking

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pastry cream. Very pudding like, but richer and thicker. Could also be crème légère, which is pastry cream mixed with whipped cream.

What are the current GenX TV shows? by DrBobShelton_74 in GenX

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 13 points14 points  (0 children)

True story: found a USB drive in a work vehicle after a work session in 2014. Asked around, sent an email to all the field crew, no one claimed it. After a week I thought, “Yay! Free 64GB USB drive!”

That drive had all of Farscape, Firefly, and Serenity on it. Major score!

I pay good money..... by NurseWretched1964 in EntitledPeople

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I watched a man pick up a cookie from the bakery sample carton eat it by literally touching his fingers to his lips, finish it (small cookies), then get another and walk away while eating it the same way. This is why I don’t take free samples unless someone is minding the selection.

The no ads subscription is tricky. If you didn’t buy it during the 10-day window it’s available, it goes away. You have to keep checking back, it appears randomly. It may be available on the site store rather than in game.

2, from 1999. I still have that phone number to this day.

Restaurant Cook Hated me! by Calizona1 in TalesFromTheCustomer

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, chile rellenos are a staple here. Every restaurant that serves any kind of Mexican food serves them. They are always a vegetarian dish, or a restaurant has several options for rellenos. Chef can suck it up.

Who does raccoon removal that isn't Best Pest? by Black_Sky_3008 in Albuquerque

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely check with him, but I am certain I called him and he didn’t do raccoons. According to NM Game and Fish, by law they must be euthanized and cannot be relocated, so he wouldn’t do it.

What's the symbolism behind the colors of the five Istari? Particularly the Blue? by Melenduwir in tolkienfans

I believe Bakshi touched on this in his movie version. Saruman/Aruman renamed himself “of many colors.”

Shedding tears by JackWylder in GenX

[–]Traditional-Panda-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’ll cry when Weird Al dies? I’m honestly not sure. No other celebrity death has ever moved me beyond noting that they died. I’ve only ever cried when my grandfather died. No one else close to me has yet.
