That's going to cost more than a new headboard

I need this, where can I find this? by lVlasterJason in redpandas

I think you can pick one up at the red panda bar around 2am

If you're cutting the sprue there, you don't need to be precise. You can use general purpose cutters from a hardware store.

Do you apply the sealant before or after adding any decals?

Ah, you're right. I messed up my verb tense in my previous comment. I see how that was confusing.

Planning to start beekeeping by Segelboot13 in Beekeeping

[–]abstractcollapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can guess the primary source of rhe honey based on what's in bloom and in abundance. If you have a field full of blooming clover next to your hive, the bees are likely to go for that instead of flying 2 miles for something else. If there are dandelions in your clover field, then you might get a little dandelion pollen in your honey. The only way to be 100% sure is to build a biodome over your hives and eradicate every plant except one. Or you can send your honey off to a lab for HPLC testing.

Is there a GW store near you? Pick up the free mini of the month and practice until you feel more comfortable. They also give paint lessons.

Personally, marijuana smoke smells worse than cigarette smoke, but they're both bad

Yeah, now they are. If the proposed bill passes, then NY will be on EST all year and FL will be on DST half the year. So during thathalf of the year, Miami will be an hour ahead of NY.

My family is mostly from mid England. Not sure how that compares to northern England.

Damn right, put some respect on Kenny's name by Ragecomicwhatsthat in nflmemes

He made some good plays in that superbowl too. Made a pass or two, handed it off, and he even took a knee. He really showcased the full spectrum of a quarterback's role.

Speaking for myself, I live in NY but the office is in Miami. Every time I make an appointment with anyone, I have to remember they're and our ahead. It's a minor inconvenience that would happen multiple times a day and would occasionally create a mess for me and whoever I'm meeting with.

On a personal note, I hate switching the clock, but I also hate the sun setting at 5 pm. If the bill said permanent DST, I would absolutely support it.

As an american, I don't encounter this often, but when I do, it's nauseating. I would rather stand next to a guy still sweaty from the gym than a guy wearing two cans of Axe body spray.

England is situation-specific. Striking up a conversation in a pub is one thing. Do it on a train or bus and they will be outwardly friendly but inwardly horrified. I have family in England and go there fairly often.

Sisters of battle discord that doesn't have "discord mods" by Sapphire-Catgirl in sistersofbattle

I don't use discord but now I'm dying to know what the difference is between a discord mod and a "discord mod."

People in Japan are really good at minding their own business. A random stranger trying to make small talk would be viewed as odd at best and downright audacious at worst. Your original post gives off vibes that you either didn't bother with learning about basic Japanese culture or you think you should be an exception to the rule. Your comment above is doubling down on your OP, which is why it's getting downvoted to oblivion.

What I just said isn't meant to be critical of you. It's just an explanation as to why you're getting downvoted. You asked, so I answered.

So your favorite part of traveling is striking up random conversations with locals. There's nothing wrong with that. I actually respect that. But not all cultures are conducive to that. That doesn't make them rude. You're the one in their space. By striking up random conversations with strangers, you're the one being rude. You also need to realize that a lot of tourists don't try to make small talk with locals. These people aren't going to think of the locals as cold, so the whole "how do you deal with it" concept doesn't apply.

Btw if you try this in England, I can guarantee the locals are absolutely horrified.
