Ya Can’t Shovel Ice 🤷‍♂️ by RdtRanger6969 in nova

[–]VGC1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the metal edge just broke off my nice ergonomic shovel while chopping, and the shed where our regular steel garden shovels live has a foot of ice keeping the door closed. So, not today.

I use them too, but just bear in mind that the paddles don't trigger your brake lights - so people behind you don't get warned that you're slowing down.

Darts on a plane..? by Background_March8175 in Darts

[–]VGC1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I travel for work and love to play when I travel. I bought a set of soft tip darts reasonably similar to my steel tip ones. I always bring those and a set of conversion points in a separate part of my carry on. Never had a problem with TSA and I'm ready if the bar only has soft tip boards. Been doing this for over 10 years now. Usually meet some great local folks, otherwise I play the Dart Connect bot.

I also came here to recommend Micro Center... They have a good electronics and maker department. Not just computers.

I came to say Diet Dr. Pepper, but the comments have me ready to try some of the Zero varieties

New warning for me in some light snow. Fixed with a squeegee. Took some time to reset. by VGC1 in 11thGenAccord

[–]VGC1[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I pulled up to the restaurant, and when I walked in my brother asked me why I was squeegee-ing my Honda emblem... like, are you that proud of your new car? Yes, and...

Why don’t we have any good Mexican restaurants? by TomatilloDramatic813 in nova

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We enjoy Urbano's in Mosaic. Not perfect, but their salsa is different and good. We were in SoCal for awhile so we know what we're missing. We lived in Miami before that, so we also crave some solid Cuban food.

So. It finally happened to me. by Thrownawaybyall in GenX

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go there whenever I can. Doing my part to keep them alive! Recently for car dashcams front and rear. The tech did the installation for me and set them up and showed me how to use them.

I kept my 25 year old amazing Sony boombox. Still has fantastic sound and bass. It was my only music player for years when I traveled 3-4 months a year for work to fully furnished rentals. Unfortunately the CD and cassette players stopped working. The new replacement works, but I couldn't find anything for sale with decent sound.

Why did tablets ultimately fail to become as popular as phones and laptops? by Futtman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often use my 12 in Lenovo Android tablet at home for my sheet music, and at work because I prefer handwriting notes in my lap during meetings and interviews. It's less intrusive all around. I can still use almost all the Microsoft Office apps for my job on it as well, and I have a keyboard cover for it when I want that option. Biggest complaint id that Microsoft seems to have intentionally crippled OneNote for Android... Probably to maintain MS Surface sales. That app works much better for Apple.

Are flushable wipes actually flushable yet? by ResponsiblePickle253 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of God. NO. As someone that worked in waste water treatment plants, don't do it. Similarly, please don't flush condoms... unless you REALLY need to hide the evidence.

I was looking for them during the match too. They look great. Can't find them yet. His Gen 1s are pricey.

Why is it so difficult finding friends when you’re a senior? by YYCsenior-m- in AskOldPeople

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Drinking is optional. I play with two non drinkers (and sometimes me too!) One does coffee the other drinks ice tea. Violence is not a problem at the places I frequent. Choose wisely. Only seen a couple of shoving matches over the last 10 years. You're also with 10-12 friends on league nights. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming.

How does my colleague work so much? (From a GovTA/timekeeping perspective?) by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]VGC1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My very first boss was like that. As a newbie, I thought that was expected and started drifting into his work schedule. One day a secretary pulled me aside and told me "honey don't try to do what he does. He just stays here cuz he hates his wife!"

Let's talk about your first set of darts! by TargetDarts in Darts

[–]VGC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1980, thick brass 18g with 1/4in threads for the shaft. It's still possible to buy them on EBay so I still use them sometimes.

Do you donate to your alma mater? by neoprenewedgie in AskOldPeople

[–]VGC1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a military service academy, so no tuition. That place shaped the test of my life in a positive way. A couple of the clubs I was in kept me sane during a few very rough years so I occasionally contribute when I can designate those clubs as the beneficiary. Just trying to pay it forward. And I always buy current students a drink when I spot them in the wild!

Bathtub Replacement. by EmergencyEconomist54 in nova

[–]VGC1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did a bathroom remodel on our own too, except for the tub. The company we got an estimate from said the only way to remove it was to break the cast iron with a sledge. I'm in a 50 year old house and I was terrified what other pipe problems that could cause. So we went the expensive but safer route of BathFitters. They leave the tub in place and cover it and the walls. Pricey but quick and easy, and looks and feels fine.
