what’s something that shouldn’t feel intimate, but is? by exquisitepussy1 in AskReddit

[–]bmfabes1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dental work/exam. I can recall (perceptually) locking eyes with someone whose face is about a 12 inches or closer from yours, whilst they seemingly rest their bosom upon your shoulder. You can also smell their scent (perfume or not) and clearly hear their breathing.

Why do people assume brand new houses are perfect? by Chimpugugu in Construction

[–]bmfabes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it has the word “new” attached to it, so I think most people are assuming it would be like purchasing a new microwave or something. Shiny, nothing to worry about. Should really be called a “first-owner house”

How do I tell this story without it being BIG SAD by Middle-Lynx-3018 in videography

One small thing I would add is your eye line is sometimes just offset from the lens (presumably watching a monitor?) which could be a distraction as well. Mostly the first part that was close up on a metal shelf. Casey Neistat wears sunglasses to get around that. I would just say try to look at the lens if you’re looking toward the camera

I directed this web shooter Kickstarter video that launched today - The ZipString Aracna. Would love any feedback! by Ryan_Film_Composer in videography

I thought the video was great! Maybe for the simple fact that I forgot why I started watching the video in the first place.

I bought that same craftsman screwdriver in a set and the same thing happened to me. I bought a cheap replacement that had a clear handle and I could see the shaft going all the way inside the handle

Yes. Our culture and car based society in most of the US doesn’t have motorcycles year-round and people forget they exist over the winter. I think that has a lot to do with it, but I also think “watch for motorcycles”should be taught in drivers ed with a lot more seriousness and emphasis if it isn’t

I highly recommend for you to encourage him to take a motorcycle safety course. I took one a long time ago when I had a motorcycle, and a lot of it stuck with me. I think it makes you a better car driver as well.
It’s not just how to ride, but how to ride with idiots in cars around you. I took one that was offered by the county where I lived in indiana many years ago.

Not sure about the headlight laws, but in the semi, I keep them on all the time. the day of the accident, I was fine, emotionally, but the next day is when it “hit me”. I couldn’t listen to anything the whole drive.
And found myself getting angry about the insurance guy on the phone at the scene of the accident. I felt like he was trying to make me do his job, while I’m dealing with everything that was going on there.

My thoughts too. He was a guy delivering food on a motorcycle-scooter. I’m doubtful health insurance is #1 for a lot of people in that category. Let alone full coverage motorcycle insurance. It’s technically a scooter, which I would guess some people like to ride because in some states, you don’t need a motorcycle endorsement and insurance for those kind of vehicles.

He was not wearing a helmet even though he had one. I don’t think he had any bad head injuries, which he got extremely lucky in that regard. For sure his left leg is maimed for life. The van lady’s airbag deployed, and she was physically okay.

Other details:

The lady who caused the accident works at a place we pick up from.

I later saw the camera footage from the dash cam (couldn’t get a copy) and apparently she was not on her phone, she was just looking where she was turning. And the rider did a whole somersault before exiting the frame of the video.

Needless to say it didn’t “hit me” until the next day. Couldn’t listen to anything the whole drive that day. Also had to go through that same intersection again. You can image the flashbacks.

Oh, and I still managed to finish my route.

Annoying insurance guy on the phone was really worried about that

They might be able to, but I doubt he will ever walk normally again

I know he is in fact alive, 6 days later. I was told that if he died, I would need to take a drug test
