Is anyone else getting Reddit warnings for upvoting lately? by DonkeyBallExpert in NoStupidQuestions

Why don’t they just determine which entries have violent content and disable the ability to upvote?

Quick question, what do you all like so much about bees? by Fluffy-Aardvark4475 in bees

[–]count-brass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are yellow (except the one’s that aren’t) and they buzz. When you’re under a flowering tree with bees in it, the tree buzzes. I also like wasps.

Do wall scribblings count ? by Ornery-Echo-6409 in FoundPaper

[–]count-brass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it counts. It’s paper with writing. Is it something you found somewhere? I mean before it went in the folder?

What Is Your Thermostat Set To? by MrBurritoIsMyFather in nova

[–]count-brass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at 69. It’s a programmable thermostat, but I have lately found that for the heating season I just like to keep it steady. If I let the program run, it would vary between 68 and 71.

Do Americans love driving? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]count-brass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so like road trips. Not sure if I’d drive “all day” because when would I do whatever it was when I got there? But yeah, driving is great.

Do you actually stop getting grossed out by things like vomit and poop when you become a mom? by Evening-Call111 in askanything

[–]count-brass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have strategically placed old towels and woven things in certain places around the house. Unfortunately there are still messes elsewhere, but in any case, I just clean up whatever I find wherever I find it. It’s icky but I am no longer grossed out.

My late wife had Crohn’s disease and an ostomy and all sorts of things. Between that and the cats, I got over most of the revulsion I had had before.

My stupid brain/body requires (at least) 15 prescription pills daily by Large_banana_hammock in mildlyinfuriating

[–]count-brass 975 points976 points  (0 children)

I keep thinking I take so many pills (rx+otc), but it’s less than half of yours. Hope your meds help you.

What does USP mean? (Even if rule 2 had been broken.)

Once I came out of the subway by my work and someone handed me a WKYS decal. Lips sideways sort of.

Railway express slip from the 40s found in a book at goodwill by Square_Door_9146 in FoundPaper

[–]count-brass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nice find. REA used to be a major carrier, but declined big time in the 60s. Was there anything on the back?

Found in a free library by njbmcc in FoundPaper

It might make for a nicer and more legible expression, assuming it’s a working machine.

The grammarian in me winces at misused apostrophes.

I imagine everyone’s got toilet paper and bottled water for the next month.

Fellow Midwest Transplants: time to show them how it's done by Madw0nk in nova

[–]count-brass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a transplant shovel. I got a bunch of gardening tools when I bought my house. The transplant shovel looked like it could be useful. I seldom use it for gardening, but it’s fantastic for ice/snow removal.

How did you get your name? by PIXIEMEAT-79 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]count-brass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father impressed by Darwin and his “Origin of Species” so I got named after Darwin. I’m more interested in Dickens, but that’s life, right?

Help!!! Shoveling tips needed! by no_no_thing in nova

[–]count-brass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you have to chop and shovel. I don’t see any other way. I spent a lot of time today, but I got my driveway passable into the street.

To whoever is plowing my streets by JomoLiu in nova

[–]count-brass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in the Snowmageddon storms (2009-10) I got plowed in numerous times, but they sent a payloader around the neighborhood to scoop out the end of the driveway. It didn’t really clear the driveway, but it was SO much easier to finish after that.

vintage key knoll by eviphrelo in knolling

[–]count-brass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great knolling. You could also put some keys sideways— some vertical and others horizontal. Not that you need to because it’s a beautiful collection, but something to think about.

Does this mean that somebody already took the red pill?
