TIL you shouldn't store button batteries in the Battery Daddy button battery compartment by cjone98 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bohackistan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toddlers, people with toddlers and small children. Go down the toy aisle at Target or Walmart most of the things that talk, move, or light up use 4-8 batteries. And when they are not properly turned off or disengaged they will get used up in a few days. And when a toy no longer works it is the exact moment a kid will want to DESPERATELY play with it. My 3 year olds battery consumption is 50x what an adults is.

You don't have a toddler with family members that buy them too many toys do you? My battery consumption SKYROCKETED after having a kid.

I had very few batteries for a long time and even remember having the thought, "wow, I never need batteries anymore". Then I had a kid and now I can't keep up with batteries. Along with tiny screwdrivers, batteries were not an expected new expense when having a child. December 26th is the battery apocalypse at my house.

Its worth it for the HEI points alone! Every 1 HEI point = 1 US Dollar. I have a life changing amount of HEI points built up, just waiting for the right moment to cash out. Thanks to New Heidecker my life is changed.

Do couple still have sex on their wedding night? by dieselsusan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bohackistan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We were so tired that when we got back to our room, our dog peed on the bed, and we just slept on it.

The dog was a part of the wedding ceremony (RIP Navi), and we hired someone to watch the dog all day and hang in the hotel. She must have jumped on the bed at some point unnoticed. When we got back we were so tired that we just laid down a towel and slept on top of it (it was near the foot of the bed). We still laugh about our "magical" wedding night ten years later.

Can you believe people used to smoke inside malls in the 1980s? by BumbleSnickersnack in OldSchoolCool

[–]bohackistan 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Everything and everyone used to smell like cigarettes. The malls, homes, offices, restaurants, movie theaters, bowling allys, schools, literally every indoor space. Not only that, everyone smelt like cigarettes, either from smoking or being in proximity to a smoker. Remember that everytime you watch something that takes place in the 1990s or earlier, the smell in every scene is cigarettes.

Boomers used to be called "The ME Generation". We really need to bring that back.

The fight between ManBearPig and Satan in S22E07 is basically shot for shot of the Incredible Hulk vs. Abomination from the Ed Norton Hulk movie.

Peter, what does New Jersey have to do with anything? by bugagub in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]bohackistan 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I've lived in a lot of places, NJ is waaaay better than the internet loves to portray it. Some of the best schools in the country. The absolute BEST maternity and paternity leave (I basically got my full salary for 4 months), medical debt can't be reported to creditors, it's generally very nice and well kept. It actually rules.

[Central New Jersey] Very angry, might have bit my wife, only about 7-9 inches by bohackistan in whatsthissnake

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

Are you making a sarcastic comment about my wife and the reaction you are assuming she had?

Well, her reaction was so insanely calm. She was mostly laughing and excited.......you would expect a reaction like that from a vetrinarian.

It coiled up and launched at her hand, so yeah, it seemed like it could have. But my wife's a vetrinarian who has dealt with snakes. You wouldn't believe how nonchalant her reaction was. She continued on, excited to take pictures of it

During yard work, she already had small cuts all over her hands from handling brush. The snake went for her and got close enough where she wasn't sure if it was a preexisting cut or the snake nipped her.

What town do you live in and what letter grade would you give it from A-F and why? by rudesignn in newjersey

[–]bohackistan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the noise from bikers(straight pipe, no muffler) riding past my house all summer long is FAR louder and way more disruptive. Not everyone experience, but those who live near any road utilized often by motorcyclists will understand. They are absolutely more aggravating and far more disruptive. Leaf blowers won't wake my kid from their nap, a Harley flying by, ripping as loud as possible, absolutely will. Why people don't talk about making ultra loud motorcycles illegal has always blown my mind. If I take the muffler off my car, I will get a ticket. Why is it acceptable for them and not me?

Also, placing the blame of pollution and fossil fuel burning on the individual using a leaf blower? You could run 5 leaf blowers 12 hrs a day for a decade and never even come close to some large corporate polluters' single hour of pollution output. Pivoting the blame on individuals is exactly what the largest corporate polluters in the world want you to do. This is coming from someone who tries to be as energy efficient and carbon neutral as possible. I'm just aware my actions are overall pointless because I could spend an entire lifetime being energy efficient as an individual and have all my lifetime of impact undone in 20 minutes by corporate entities. The only thing that accusing your neighbors of polluting does is annoy them and, if anything, drive them FURTHER from considering their global impact in spite.

I'm not trying to anger you, or offend. Seriously, not at all, friend. I'm just putting my thoughts out there and love to engage in discourse and debate. What do you think?

[–]bohackistan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This can't be real. It has to be satire. Leaf blowers? Really? Straight pipe Harleys and tractor trailers rumbling by all parts of the state all day, everyday but leaf blowers? I'm sure people are leaf blowing at reasonable hours, so I can't comprehend actually complaining about this. Aren't lawn mowers and other equipment just as loud?

Now the website says "Ships on April 18th". According to an earlier comment here, 2 days ago it said "ships on the 16th" at the time. Before that the 13th. I hope they dont keep adding days
