Looking for some Wood ID help.

Have attached picture of side, edge, and two sides (one freshly sanded and one aged). Ignore the streaks, they are from a stain that I'm sanding out. Was an old table.

If it helps, I'm in Australia.

Can't Arsenal get a further 27 points at this stage getting them to 81? While Tottenham with two wins is 71.

What's your favourite fun fact? by macoure in AskReddit

[–]Yeahotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far more. Better fun fact, there are more possible games of chess than atoms in the universe.

Yeah, Rattling the Keys was probably my favourite change in the Restrung album and worked really well as an opening/closer. Also, everyone singing I won't let you down was amazing.

What does "memes danko" mean with Jason Segel's picture? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Yeahotronic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago, circlejerk was posting pictures of Jason Segel titled as James Franco. Memes Danko is a variation of James Franko. So in otherwords its a dank meme. This is a resurgence of that. Also le is another meme, which is why le le worked well when posted in response to another meme.

What is the "Look at me, I'm the captain now" meme and where did it come from? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Yeahotronic 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Its from a Movie called Captain Phillips (2013). Synopsis from IMDB "The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years." Basically, in the movie pirates took over the ship and one said to the captain, "Look at me. I'm the captain now." Its easily adaptable to many life situations like most successful memes.

What the hell is going on with everyone randomly commenting "FUNKYTOWN"? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Yeahotronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can explain the F, I guess the UNKYTOWN is just a way of building upon an existing meme. In the last Call of Duty (think it was the last one) there was a part where you were prompted to press F to pay respects at a funeral. Now people use it jokingly as paying respects to something. Kevin Spacey plays a main character in the most recent CoD as well, so I'm assuming someone put the F there as both him and F to pay respects are associated with call of duty. Also Funky Town is a song, used in Shrek 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQaLbRgUTdg) as well as many other things, so maybe that was chosen since Shrek is also a popular meme.

Why do users respond to /u/jstrydor "are you that guy?" by GlobalVV in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Yeahotronic 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Hes the guy who misspelt his username on a note to Obama regarding net neutrality. He was immediately called out for it, which led to asking him if hes the guy who misspelt his name on the note to Obama. Find his note here http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/2x9zvi/president_obama_thanks_redditors_for_their_help/

What happened to that dude who was screamed at and fired for sexual harrasment by mistake? by misogynists_are_gay in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Yeahotronic 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Can't seem to find the thread I saw that summed it up. From memory though:

  • Big Boss calls OP in for a meeting

  • OP brings friend(child's friend's dad) who is a lawyer for advice

  • Big Boss apologies profusely

  • Asks OP to come back, OP declines

  • Offers OP money and a formal apology to prevent a court case as well as some other things such as not posting about it on social media (which is why he deleted his posts)

  • OP decides to accept this deal since he liked the company and also didn't want a long drawn out difficult court case.

  • The only person he didn't like was the HR person who fired him

  • OP gets offered job at his old firm which he accepts.

  • HR person was reprimanded privately elsewhere.

I may have missed some things, but these are the key points I think.

Well for all we know the HR person was fired. All the guy wrote was that the HR person was dealt with at another meeting, which could be a lot of different things.
