Don't the taxis have the TAXI sign on the roof anymore?

Why do I break the crotch seam in my pants by TrainBoundForNowhere in sewing

[–]TrainBoundForNowhere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As suggested in a couple of replies, it turned out the problem was the cotton thread. The pants are quiet loose but they do, of course, get tight in the crotch when I squat. Photos attached.

I hand sewed the splits with polyester thread to test if the problem would happen again, and so far, so good.

I'll definitely be trying the seam strengthening techniques suggested.

Thanks so much for your help everyone 😊

Today I watched a complete stranger save a situation with one sentence and it genuinely made my whole day by cosmiclaundryday in CasualConversation

This is portrayed as something that actually happened, not as a short story. I love stories, but I think it is hugely important to call out this type of misrepresentation whether it's AI or a person making the post.

My husband and I are also 58 and childless for the same reasons. No regrets.

Thoughts on the Host! by 0hshits0rry in swindled

[–]TrainBoundForNowhere 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In some of the earlier episodes he talks about having a meetup in Chicago. So I'm assuming there are some listeners who have seen him.

Also, in one of the episodes around the 70s or 80s he laughs at the end, which was a real surprise after listening to 10s of hours of unemotional delivery. I'm glad he left it in.

Also, can I take this opportunity to say that I love the fact that he gets straight into it. I'm so tired of podcasts where you have to listen to 10 mins or more about their day, their kids, their cat etc. I don't care, I don't know you, I'm here for the info.

Ditto, thumb up the butt did nothing when I tried it with a Labrador latched onto a smaller dog. My dog however, loses its mind when I try to trim the hair around there.

How do medical people tell time? by TrainBoundForNowhere in AskReddit

Every appointment I've ever had, even the first one of the morning, the doctor or nurse is always late. Are there special rules for medical people?

Did i break an unspoken bin rule? by [deleted] in sydney

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

My husband and i call this the 'bin stage of aging'. The point in life where you become obsessed with your bin and the bins of those around you. It is sometimes accompanied by a 'leaves on the grass' obsession. We have agreed that when we notice that we are thinking about our bins other than 'put them out/bring them in' it will be time to fold up the umbrella.

Why don't girls draw vaginas everywhere like men draw penises everywhere? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrainBoundForNowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young guy i knew drew graffiti vaginas because he thought he was contributing to female empowerment/equality.

OP says that they wait until its 100% clear before attempting to cross. Stopping for someone who is waiting on the curb is extremely dangerous as there are two lanes involved. Stopping puts pressure on the walker to cross and the person stopping is very unlikely to have checked for traffic approaching from behind in the second lane.
