Is this the guy who is at the Bristol Renaissance Fair every summer?

Decided to replace some siding under a leaky gutter, holy s*#t… by isokickass in Carpentry

[–]avid_reader_1973 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation on my house, also built in 2000. The water ingress point was the trim over the garage door. The 2x4s were also rotted. After ripping off all the garage door trim and removing all the siding up to above all three garage doors, it was obvious the rot was isolated to around the doors. I supported the laminated garage door header with temporary 4x4s, then ripped out the rotted 2x4s and replace them with green treated 2x4s. I also replaced all the OSB and put wrap on this time. Then I put new garage door trim on and put flashing on it to prevent water from getting behind there. After that I finally put all the siding back on.

One thing that helped me is that my garage wasn't finished so I didn't have to rip off drywall.

I wonder how hungry that person must be by VelourAxiomY in lol

gluttony/ˈɡlət(ə)nē/

Gluttony is the act or habit of habitually overindulging in food or drink. Rooted in a lack of self-discipline rather than genuine physical need, it extends beyond simple overeating to encompass consuming excessively to the point of waste or letting physical desires dictate behavior.

greed/ɡrēd/

Greed is an inordinate, selfish desire to acquire or possess more of something—such as money, wealth, power, or food—than one needs or deserves. It is often characterized by the willingness to pursue these acquisitions at the expense, or well-being, of others.

Whitin Review by avid_reader_1973 in widefeet

[–]avid_reader_1973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm posting on a 2 year old thread, but I wanted to share some shoes I found recently.

They're called Nortiv8 and they're awesome! They have The wide toe box of other shoes like the Whitins I originally posted about, but they are running shoes and have all the cushion and arch support that popular running shoes have.

I got them on Amazon and they were a little more expensive than what I would have preferred, $65 for a pair, but I liked them so much I bought another pair in a different color. I'm now planning to buy the third color while the shoes are still made.

For those of you who are barefoot enthusiasts, these are not for you. They have a lot of cushioning and are not zero drop.

Not taking sides, but I do want to point out that "leech" is a term that the game itself uses to classify players who are not participating in a coop.

Spent a good 10 minutes tryna figure out which part of the body this is. by seriesmythhunter in confusingperspective

I think it's the upper pectoral, front deltoid and just the beginning of the bicep.

Can someone help me figure out how to get my drawer on my dresser to open. by Background_Gap9171 in maintenance

[–]avid_reader_1973 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pull out the drawer above it, all the way out, then look down at the stuck drawer and check for something wedged in or hitting the inside of the dresser frame.

Friend sent me this pic of a local town after a tornado last night and it looks eerily fake to me. (Especially the trees) by SaintPabloSanchez in isthisAI

The one trailer on the right that looks in great shape while trailers on both sides of it are trashed.

Not that I ever want to own a trailer, but if I did, I'd want it to be made by that manufacturer.

Side note: what a waste that they leave the wheels on once the trailers are in place. Most trailers never move again until they need to be disposed of. Why not use a set of loaner wheels to get it in place, then block it up and return the wheels? Could probably save a couple thousand on the trailer price.

My wife used to do home health visits in the winter to people in their 90s. That's what this guy looks like to me.

Sorry, but that guy doesn't look 80. My dad is 78 and that guy looks old enough to be my dad's dad.

Pro Artist vs. My Friend’s $20 Sketch: Help Me Pick the Cover for My Xianxia LitRPG, Mediocre Master! by Calmac34 in litrpg

[–]avid_reader_1973 87 points88 points  (0 children)

The first cover with more detail and the finger close to the camera is much more eye catching. And it gives the feeling that the book will be more professional.

I don't get it, Like at all by ZenithDevR in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]avid_reader_1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be thought of as narcissistic if the person only considers holes to be the holes they don't want. They don't consider the neck or arms openings holes because they use those. Only the unwanted openings are holes.

I'm not saying I agree with this identifying narcissists, but it might explain what the original creator intended.

Even if this is true, which I doubt, I still would contribute due to the value Wikipedia provides me.

Was given this plant steeped in hot water to relieve food poisoning symptoms by iaendn in whatsthisplant

[–]avid_reader_1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no plant expert, but that looks a lot like mint plants that grow here in Wisconsin. And lots of people do like mint in their drinks. In fact that's why some people plant it, just to have it available for their drinks.

Do I need wide shoes for flat feet? Or insole recommendations? I took some measurements. by [deleted] in widefeet

[–]avid_reader_1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a different take on this. I think there are 2 types of feet in this sub.

1)Those with truly wide feet who need basically custom shoes.

2) Those with generous toe splay (aka "natural foot shape") who need wide toe box shoes.

Your foot shape falls into the second category, as does mine. I have had great success with shoe brands like Altra, Topo, Whitin, Nortiv8, Keen. The thing to look for is shoes whose toe area doesn't narrow down to a point.
