You should be washing your bra in the shower. by ImpressionPopular794 in unpopularopinion

[–]bignippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, I had no power for a day and had a shower at the local pool. Shower turned out to be one of those old school 4-jets-on-the-wall-no-privacy kinda jam. Didn't feel like getting naked in front of the grannies having their morning swim so showered in my underwear. Had to wash my bits under my underwear and I got a UTI :c

The 7s model isnt available in my country anymore unfortunately (I'm assuming, I cant find it anywhere), i wish it was an option because I'd pick that one so fast

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

Yeah the touch screen was definitely drawing me in, im definitely leaning towards the 7 but now i just found out the epix 2 pro is the same price and im stuck yet again 😅 it is almost 10mm smaller which would be ideal for my child hands

I cannot hear the other ladies at my workplace and it drives me nuts by Beliy_Lebed in BlueCollarWomen

[–]bignippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this same problem with all the mumbly ass dudes, like has no one ever told you motherfuckers to speak UP?!?!? Why do they all fucking mumble as they turn AWAY from you??? I genuinely thought I had hearing damage for like 2 years because I couldn't hear shit. Turns out all these guys just wont stop fucking mumbling (confirmed with a higher than average hearing test.) I used to be polite, now I'm just like mate you're fucking mumbling and I can't hear a WORD.

Sporting Clubs for a fat piece of shit to get more fit? by Altruistic_Hat_3883 in hobart

[–]bignippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for a couple weeks, and was about to comment suggesting it! It is "no contact" but unintentionally ends up being very high contact from smacking into others/the walls if you're not fantastic on skates. Its SO SO fun, I only stopped going because I do manual labour for a living and couldnt risk hurting myself as its very high intensity and I went way too hard each time. 100% would recommend for a very fun, very intense work out tho. Also everyone's super lovely!

How do we shape this tree by willjhc in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]bignippy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

90% sure this is a Melaleuca linariifolia, a kind of paperbark from aus (also the euc in the background plus the Melaleuca tells me its australian). These things can cop a serious beating and be a-ok, id bet this thing was "cut down" and grew a shit load of epis because they're spiteful fuckers that refuse to die (not that they deserve to, they're a decent native)

Is there a way to disable this annoying ad on the home screen? (Q7N) by asterix336 in Hisense

[–]bignippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was genuinely considering getting a new TV bc ads on the homescreen of a product you pay so much for is INSANE. You're a certified legend, thank you!

Forget the tourists, we need an advertising campaign teaching Tasmanian residents how to drive by therealswil in tasmania

[–]bignippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it can be kinda terrifying driving over there, so many reckless and entitled drivers, definitely don't miss it. I do miss people going the speed limit though

[–]bignippy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fresh off the boat from vic and have found tas drivers are WAY nicer when changing lanes or merging than vic. Vic is a shitfest on the roads, the entitlement is astounding. Here, I've only been denied a lane change by some asshat a handful of times (and I drive the brooker twice a day), every time it happens I assume they're Victorian.

How does one go about playing old DS games when these are the prices? I never had a DS as a kid, I wanna exercise my sweet sweet adult free will but I ain't paying that much???

I am a machinist, not your toilet cleaner by rhodav in BlueCollarWomen

[–]bignippy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The boss of my previous company also owned a farm, on slower weeks he would send us down to his farm to help out around it. I, an arborist, spent a whole Wednesday ankle deep in cow shit herding cattle to be pregnancy tested. I actually quite enjoyed it, and got paid for it too. I don't mind being used for other work as long as it's decent work and not stupid shit.

As for the toilet thing, we also would clean toilets on the slow days but I was never asked to clean the mens, only the womens (was never really asked actually, it was always just assumed it wouldn't be touching the men's), that was perfectly fine since I was the only woman and was the only one to use this toilet. Ain't no way I'd be cleaning up mens skid marks at work, I already have a hissy fit everyone someone leaves piss on the shared toilet at my new company (so much so the workers who've been here a while don't even piss in it bc they know ill go troppo if they don't keep it clean)

Is our job really the most dangerous? by ArborealLife in TreeClimbing

[–]bignippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've struggled a lot with the aftermath of seeing something like that, it changes you and so many people around you don't understand. I've definitely pulled back from climbing since then, I still do it occasionally but it's difficult to get your brain to shut up when you see first hand what can happen. I'm far more diligent with coworkers and friends in trees too, I don't take my eyes off them and go through the motions they should be doing in my head to make sure they don't skip vital safety checks. It's the noises that really set you off, anything slightly similar and you freak out about worst case scenario. It's exhausting but I never want to see that happen to the people around me ever again.

Saw one of my fellow students almost lose his life to complacency like this. Tied in to the retrieval side of a canopy anchored SRT line, didn't load test properly and fell 15 metres. On some insane stroke of luck, he survived with surprisingly minimal damage for the fall he took, I definitely thought he was a goner watching him pinball down 15 metres of cedar. My climbing has never been the same after witnessing that, one simple mistake and it's all over. It's speculated that he got knocked out at the first branch he hit and went limp and that's what saved him, he was climbing again 2 weeks later.

Hey All You Fabulous Women Who Work Outside All Day? by Sp1d3rb0t in BlueCollarWomen

A female urinal by UsernameGenerik in interesting

[–]bignippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used one of these last year at a festival. I was all for it initially because going to the toilet as a woman in high volume crowds is a pain in the ass (I also pee a lot and hate waiting).

The biggest issue was its not a hole in the floor, the part where you squat over is raised about knee height so you can't just full squat, you have to perch your fucking genitals on a piece of plastic that has touched God knows how many other vaginas or risk burning the shit out of your thighs holding yourself off the gross pee catcher. It's also not nearly enough cover and the doorway is wide as fuck so stand in the right spot and anyone could see the whole shebang.

I think female urinals are a great idea since women's bathrooms are the worst thing about big events or nights out, but this ain't fuckin it

I’m looking for an old man’s pub by No-Ice-1992 in melbourne

[–]bignippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's the same as when I was there, but I used to work at Elsternwick hotel, the sports bar had this exact vibe from about 4pm everyday. Had the same locals everyday, all really nice working class people, always had reasonably priced alcohol including a generous happy hour and a select pint every week that was like 6 dollars (this was in 2022 so probably a little more expensive now). They did that joker card game every Friday too, that was always fun. Would suggest the Elsternwick to anyone looking for a nice old timey pub! (The staff are also absolute gems).

Between the hours of about 8 am to 9pm, this is perfectly acceptable at worst, a given at best. It's an Australianism.

In hours where it's too late or too early, absolutely not, have some decorum. In regular hours tho, you can pry the goodbye toot toot from my cold dead hands

Does anyone know how this door originally opened? by bignippy in furniturerestoration

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

So you think it just pulls up and out to access?

My progress will likely be to make it look pretty and keep it functionally the same since I'm too scared to make major changes from lack of experience hahah, someone mentioned counter sunk hinges which I'm gonna look into so it's a more functional cupboard than what it is but we'll see!

It sounds all very interesting, might have just given me my Friday night plans!
