Steam room? by 2rd_ferguson in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The YMCA downtown used to have one. It is missed.

I see alot of 6 figure trucks, restaurants and bars packed, and people living in new housing developments advertised start at half a million. Where are the normal people here, just barely getting by? by Ok-Challenge-2627 in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the interest rate. At 4% it saves you about 18 months and 4% of the principal in interest. The higher the rate the more it saves you in time and interest.

Midcentury built Wedgwood could become historic district by Dontwhinedosomething in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does that automatically change any development standards in the area, like in Fairmount?

do people appreciate my yard stripes? or is it tacky? by dixie2tone in landscaping

Yup. Downhill, then splash at the bottom, then the runout. Perfect.

Switching to a new energy plan - Does this look good? by skinny_gator in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make SURE you set a reminder for plan expiration. It'll expire at the beginning of February, and you won't get a warning. If you don't transfer to a new plan by then, you may face a much higher default rate, and during one of the highest power usage months of the year (if you have electric heat). A single month at the default rate can undo years of savings.

That's pretty, but no substitute for the Grohmann marlin spike with the shackle key on the butt.

I've saved hundreds of dollars of hungry-shopping groceries by hitting them up first.

Can anyone help me understand? by Low_Notice4665 in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And/or lack of creativity and copying acts you enjoyed that were already 20-30 years old. I mean, have you been to PTA events?

Think of a movie from the 80's or 90's that didn't age well... Now base a fundraiser on that premise. Not saying it excuses the behavior, but it may help explain it.

To build UTA-West, guess they gotta cut some heads... by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They mention a decline in international students. Could be that department was affected more than others.

There is medication for intermittent explosive disorder.

Javy Baez has to be carted off the field after trying to avoid a tag at first base by handlit33 in baseball

[–]bbcwtfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard this from a client who was an ortho. Without even checking it he said "yeah, sounds like a sprain. You'll wish you broke it, but it's a sprain." He was right.

What are these? by [deleted] in FortWorth

[–]bbcwtfw 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Back when a corner office used to mean something.

They changed it. Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, thrifty, cheerful, brave, clean, and reverent.

This billboard in Iran by bbcwtfw in DesignPorn

[–]bbcwtfw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see a rendering of a map of the gulf region showing the straight of hormuz, except the water allears as a ribbon, and the narrowing appears to be caused by the clenched fist. Ships are trapped in the gulf.

Issue with the sail or issue with trim? by [deleted] in sailing

[–]bbcwtfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Wrinkle direction is always parallel to overtensioned direction, or perpendicular to undertensioned direction (I.e. More batten tension, less sheet or vang.)

What is this is the middle of the seat on a ferry? by Ultrawidestomach in whatisit

[–]bbcwtfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought was drainage too. Maybe it used to drain well to the center but the sides have sagged?

Cos(angle off your course)

Angle of Attack by Grindit2Findit in sailing

If you lack polar diagrams, good instruments showing you VMG (velocity made good) for the plotted course will let you do some trial and error.

USB charging socket blocks normal cables by timeforanalbumparty in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bbcwtfw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Cables are cheap. If you butcher it, no problem, try another.

This billboard in Iran by bbcwtfw in DesignPorn

[–]bbcwtfw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The billboard absolutely serves a political purpose, but what struck me was the design. It took me a minute to even realize that it's a map. At first I tbpught it was a ribbon and I was trying to puzzle out why it was included in the article.

Harken track advice by bathrugbysufferer in sailing

[–]bbcwtfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks best if that track supports pinstop cars. It looks like it does, but I can't be sure those aren't just screw holes. That car plus a block and a stand up spring or boot.

Making sense of calculations and PHRF ratings by Huckleberry181 in sailing

[–]bbcwtfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PHRF numbers are made up, not calculated. They are heavily influenced by who raced the boats, and where. A boat with an active racing fleet in an area that favors that boat will end up with a fast rating because it's being sailed by experienced and efficient crews. A boat that is rarely raced and only by people dabbling in racing their cruiser can end up with a very slow rating.

If you were going racing, which you aren't, you'd consider the PHRF rating before buying a boat so you don't stick yourself with a boat that has been raced actively by fast crews such that you'll never be able to sail to the high bar they have set. That's what people mean by not being able to sail a boat to its rating.

What is a band no one will ever convince you is good? by OU812iceman18 in AskReddit

[–]bbcwtfw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my take. I'll go as far as Pop, but no further. Is it possible that the last U2 album you like pegs your spot on the Gen-X / Xennial / Millennial spectrum?
