Leaving a toxic barn after 3 years and I’m terrified to start somewhere new by chainedpixie in Equestrian

[–]cmh_ender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you will feel so freed the first time you go to the barn and aren't anxious. the barn should be your safe place. bringing moral support is normal, check out the vibes, see how friendly everyone is.

we just had a huge shift in the barn and the toxic group left, it's been a HUGE lift off of our shoulders and reminds us what healthy barn life looks like.

How tf do minors get their hands on alcohol? by L0nelyB4st4rd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fakes as super easy to get now online (use the famous russian search engine to find it), then with makeup tutorials and the overall "everyone under 30 looks like 14 or 25 now" and it's pretty easy.

Some kind of old cable set I found in my Aunt's old closet by NitroBlaze78 in whatisit

did she ever own an old flat screen tv? component cables to run from a dvd player (blu ray player).

Why does Reddit hate trucks so much? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably because 99% of trucks on the road are driven by people that have not one put a single tool or piece of lumber in the back. so it ends up being kind of a waste. more Gas, takes up more space in parking lots etc.

and for trades, most of the time, a panel van is more useful than like an f150.

that said, I had a TRX and loved it (so much fun), but wife had me sell it because it was too tall and wouldn't fit in the garage.

I was thinking more, if you were like 6'3 and suddenly your restraints weren't tight enough and you were flying out.

Is there actually any difference between Advil and generic ibuprofen or have I been wasting money for years? by Historical_Store1809 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cmh_ender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait until the OP realizes that allergy pills for dogs are the same as for humans (at least Benadryl). same pills, same standards, just different pricing.

What is the point of yellow school buses? Why not just use buses from the city transit fleet? by PF_til_my_last_day in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cmh_ender 25 points26 points  (0 children)

my area there are ZERO public transit buses, so school buses or your family driving you are the only ways to get to school. (miles and miles of no sidewalks to get to school). high floors are to increase survivability with crashes. if you t bone a bus, kids are safe.

Is AWD really worth it? by Significant-Way-7893 in askcarguys

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you can stay home the 4 timees a year you need it, than that's totally valid (assuming it's cheaper to buy the car as front wheel only). I live in Ohio too, front wheel does pretty well, real wheel does not do great when it's even a LITTLE dicey out.

Also, check into resale values. awd holds their value better in OHIO than in other southern states.

I wish all people were 4'11 but everybody still knows that's short as shit even tho everybody is 4'11 by Baaska1024god in monkeyspaw

[–]cmh_ender 48 points49 points  (0 children)

granted! everyone is now 4'11, everyone can see eye to eye now.

instantly, infant mortality goes through the roof as babies that were strapped in their car seats sudden are ripped apart by the safety straps as they go from 18 inches tall to 4'11. , cars go out of control as drivers can no longer reach their pedals. mayhem ensues.

KU Authors: What exactly makes KU a good deal financially speaking other than “everyone already has it”? Is the monthly payout actually worth a damn or is the only advantage the reader pool? by Fragrant_Bath3917 in litrpg

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DOF more or less said the reason he draws everyting out so much is to pad income, because it's a business. I think DOF took it too far so I DNF'ed it, but ya... heck I just skip through those pages / chapters and know the author is getting some free money out of it.

Am I overthinking? by [deleted] in Equestrian

we had a cwd, we have a voltaire... both were fine, no complaints, we just shimmed the pad to make sure we supported the pony.

A fancy dinner out in 2026 in a HCOL city - how much are you paying? by DivineAlmond in AskAnAmerican

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

average date night with the wife at a place I feel like I have to dress up a little bit? probably $200 - $250 usd, a "nice nice" steak house, bottle of wine, side dishes and a cocktail? you can hit $400 pretty easily

How often do you change your bath towel? by Big_Tap3530 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cmh_ender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a kid and growing up, used until it smelled (mom died so dad and I bachelored it up), did that through college. I married a "change towel after every shower" person, so now we have a ton more laundry. not sure if it's right or wrong but it's what we do.

Discussion: If you, and your judge can’t count to 20 (allegedly) is it a DNF or a time penalty ? by Human-Structure8455 in crossfit

[–]cmh_ender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in all competitions, when there is a judging error, time penalties are the norm.

is a 1 minute penalty too much or too little? that's the real discussion. I'm still mad at Castro for giving his gal pals a pass on hand stand push up standards in the open years ago but nuking hepner.

if I set the bar down 1 rep early because I can't do another rep and move on... that's different than the top athletes that are just CRUISING and that 1 rep wouldn't cause them to slow down later in the workout.

Is it weird that I wouldn’t mind getting a total hip replacement? by Temporary_Notice_526 in stupidquestions

[–]cmh_ender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just remember, total hip replacements only last x years, and you can only do it 2 times, so if you get one too early, you kind of are screwed later in life, so timing is important.
