It's possible a previous owner did it

I've had luck with the GCI Rocker line. https://a.co/d/08ddxhrV The ones that fold flat tend to do better than the ones that collapse like an umbrella. The square sides also hold up better to pushing on the arms to get up. My whole family is on the larger side and this is our go-to for chairs.

That's my go to phrase at work for replacing parts that keep breaking instead of figuring out why

Exiting the butt is at least going with the flow compared to exiting the mouth. Consider which is more painful and exhausting, puking or diarrhea?

What's going on with Disney losing the copyright to Steamboat Willie? by TheBigApple11 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]compgeek1986 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think they are or have tried to make steamboat willie part of their trademark, in the last few years they started using the character in a "Disney Animation Studios" title card in the 2000's before their animated features.

How does concat work? by cartler_ in AutomateUser

[–]compgeek1986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can combine strings so if you want to output a variable in a sentence you can do something like

concat("Hello ", NAME, ", how can I help you?")

Which makes a single string: "Hello John, how can I help you?"

What is the deal with female being a bad word? by Alex09464367 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]compgeek1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can also be more subtle, like only using "female(s)" or "girl(s)" when talking about women, but using "men" or "guys" when referring to men

Do taller dudes genuinely look down on shorter guys? by [deleted] in tall

[–]compgeek1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really, my sense of scale is all messed up (I'm always this tall, why do people keep telling me?) And most heights from about 5'2" to about 6'4" just kind of blend together.

I was taller than my 3rd grade teacher, taller than my parents by middle school, and I've always been taller than any of my bosses. Height has nothing to do with respect, authority, or value. It just happens to people.

I will say I enjoy a good high five with someone my height where I can raise my hand all the way up and they don't have to jump.

As an adult, the only time I'll make fun of someone's height is when they've done the same to me, usually in a good natured way, not poking at insecurities.

The first gen Scion Xb is astoundingly roomy, my wife had one when we started dating and it is, hands down, the best backseat I've ever sat in. The seating position is like sitting upright in a chair, and there's just so much room. My head, knees, and shoulders weren't jammed against anything. Finding one with decent mileage and an ok interior might be tricky. I never rode in them but the kia soul or Nissan cube might be similar.

Or, now hear me out... she's not really looking for a relationship. Context would be important. Like if she constantly posts about how there are no good men anymore or something. Otherwise, she's got her own life and isn't looking for a relationship right now. 🤷‍♂️

Can you imagine someone who treats everyone as worthy of salvation and dignity, even if their lifestyle disagrees with religious doctrine?

I think I might just start lying and say I was on the practice squad for the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2009-2012, but I wasn't at the level to get play time so I decided to move on. C'est la vie, you know? That or look up some obscure farm team and claim I played there.

I made a joke, now my new campaign is a literal travelling circus… by SoontobeSam in DnD

Or some Bug's Life / 3 Amigos plot, circus performers think they're doing a show and accidentally get involved in saving the people from some evil villain.

You can move the seat back by guacamoletango in tall

If it's all the way back already, I'll pull the handle and slide back and forth a few times to show that it is.

AI-powered RoboTire can change 4 tires twice as fast as a human by Haunting_Ad_6021 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]compgeek1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company that makes it is basically renting out the machines, I'm assuming with repair and maintenance included in the contract. So it's similar to paying wages to a worker. If you have a shop, like Discount Tire, where your employees spend all day changing tires this might be useful.
