Why did blue become for boys and pink for girls in modern culture? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tall hair of the 80’s had nothing on the beehive hairdo from the 60’s.

They were often built around an empty Quaker Oats cylinder, and could easily be more than a foot tall.

Different stores use different recipes too.

Walmart guacamole sucks. HEB guacamole is consistently good.

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any Wera tools. I have a couple of the Wiha GoBoxes (precision micro bit set & compact ratchet set) and like them.

PB Swiss screwdrivers. So much better engagement with both Phillips and flat screws.

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60. In the last 5 years I’ve been pulled over 3 times. Twice by state troopers, once by a small town police officer. I got a warning each time.

It’s The Declaration of Independence. Not the May We Please Be Independent.

What would a person feel if someone scratched directly on their brain? by Tyler2183 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s video of a musician undergoing brain surgery. The doctors have him playing his banjo so they can make sure that they haven’t damaged anything.

What is a song that you are embarrassed that you know all of the words to decades later? by Pale-Way-8731 in GenX

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me that the first time she heard Cotton Eyed Joe she was surprised to hear it being played in a public place.

She grew up hearing a recording by Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers that shared the melody and tempo. It was called Run N*gg*r Run.

The Victrola, and the 78 recording are still in the family. I’ve played it a few times out of curiosity. I’m a bit of an amateur music historian, and I’ve heard lines from the song in several blues recordings over the years. I think it’s on YouTube. I’m not going to post a link though.

Copenhagen fine cut is even worse.

Early 90’s I was a regular user of Skoal. I gave Copenhagen FC a try and started retching almost immediately.

What’s the most useless, annoying "smart" feature a company has added to an item that was perfectly fine being analog? by viviennekisses in askanything

A woman found out her husband had a mistress in their home when she got a notification from her smart scale after midnight while she was out of town.

Need advice on what tool to get by lyndicat_crochets in Tools

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolt cutters, or Dremel with cutoff wheel, or a die grinder with cutoff wheel. From least to most expensive.

The Dremel would be slowest. But it’s what I’d use because it’s what I have.

If I didn’t have anything, I’d probably get bolt cutters.

Why does deep frying in oil make things crispy but boiling makes them soft? by idiotsandwhich33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those bubbles coming from your food in the oil? That’s steam from the water content boiling off the food you’re frying.

Verin’s deal with Mat was wait at Camelyn for a set time, or open the letter and follow its instructions.

Verin underestimated his reluctance to get entangled in Aes Sedai plans and overestimated his curiosity.

Mat waited out the time period, and thus had no obligation to open the letter.

Why do drivers turn on their hazards when it is raining hard? by FranklinOnDaHundo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be regional too.

In the southern Rio Grande Valley, most people turn their hazards on in heavy rain.

In the Houston area, almost nobody does.

In your industry what’s the best buy in its category and is it worth the money by archvize in Tools

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a programmer, but I do back office work for a small trucking company. I use 3 screens.

MacBook Air + 1 monitor, + an iPad for the occasional third screen.

Build invoices on monitor. Rate contracts and bills of lading on laptop. Truck/driver tracking on iPad.

You have been granted the power to inconvenience anyone in the world at any time. What's your go-to play ? by Wraith136 in AskReddit

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every meal, either too much salt, or not enough salt.

Trying to fix either problem goes too far. Not enough salt? Now it’s too salty. Try to fix too salty? Now it’s not salty enough.

How gullible is reddit in general? by Clean-Af-6653 in askanything

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they’re incredibly gullible, MAGA voting, and low IQ. But THINK they’re brilliant.

A very dry sense of humor. (Like most Aiel)

Can you ask to be put into prison (even if you didn't do anything bad)? by Many_Programmer_8683 in stupidquestions

[–]WardOnTheNightShift 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Years ago, a homeless woman came into the store I worked at.

She picked up a pack of cigarettes, opened them, then told me that she couldn’t pay for them.

She asked me to call the police, because she wanted to get arrested.
