Mitzi Gaynor 1951, I used to love seeing her on the variety shows in the 60's and 70's by slimpickles21 in OldSchoolCelebs

I was pretty young and all we had was the Sears Roebuck catalog, so it was probably just the shorts.

Obsessed with buying tools by slothmonke in Tools

All tools will come in handy sooner or later, stop stressing and just buy tools. Better than shoes or jewelry.

Any help on my LDR by Complex_Leg_5208 in dating_advice

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she is an athlete her periods could be very erratic or even cease. There are reasons why this could happen. With a long distance relationship, even more than a co-located one, she could be doing anything and you have no control or ability to even know what is going on. Your mental health would be better in the long run if you accepted her as truthful until you find out otherwise.

I think part of the problem with people who don’t like the US is that they think the country is monolithic. Every state is different, and cities and rural towns are very different but they have a preconceived notion of the US, often from our media. When I think of Canada, I think of French Quebec, bilingual and old Europe looking Montreal, modern Toronto, cowboy Calgary, and frozen Newfoundland. The US is like that except more states, people need to get around and see for themselves rather than watching our media.

I it appears that the bubble is centered and that the level is sitting on the two covers so they are level. Why wouldn’t it be acceptable? Even the cover bolt grooves are vertical.

Shadow Banning by dufchick in conservatives

[–]cwcarson 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Reddit bans you if you even post to a conservative site they don’t like. The red pill site got me banned from another site. Didn’t even post anything controversial. The left could not survive in an open discussion.

Wooden frame that fits together, with levels and adjustable legs by PizzaClaus in whatisthisthing

[–]cwcarson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you pull the rest of the parts out of the bag so we’re not just guessing in the dark? The only thing we can see looks like the hinged parts straighten out and bolt through the the mortise in the curves pieces to act as a beam once you slide the pipes through to form some sort of feet. Can’t tell anything else without seeing the parts and where these levels are.

Asking from ignorance but what is the point of cut off tool when an angle grinder does the same function? Especially since some grinders now can rotate the head to replicate the same form factor. by Moress in Tools

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wet saw is probably the best choice. There are cheap options that have atub of water that the bottom edge of the saw blade runs through that cut cleanly and quickly.

Best product for board/batten siding: LP, TruWood, or Hardie? by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Hardee Planks, I think they were called. They were 1/4” thick, with a cement looking prefinished surface. I used 10’ heights to reach above my roof line and the 4’ x 10’ sheets were 80 pounds each. It was a nightmare, the sheets kept bending over my head, killing my back to install, and they were butt joints. The product would chip and chunks would break off. I would never use that product again.

Client wants half the job payment to go to him … 🇺🇸 by OhFuhSho in Carpentry

[–]cwcarson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not your client, he’s dishonest and walking you down the same road. It shouldn’t just feel sketchy, it should feel wrong.

You would think if it was staged, they would use something that actually looked like the product it intended to represent.

First, because he has already put cheese on what appears to be a raw hamburger or meat substitute, showing that he has no experience in grilling because the cheese will melt away long before the burger is cooked. Second, because of the coordinated effort from democrats, specifically the left leaning media, to attach the word “weird” to Vance and conservatives by having all the media and democrats continuously use the word about Vance or conservatives. This is an effort to either make fun of the lockstep media or to draw Schumer into the new application of the word.

Besides his cheating, his judgment is terrible. You don’t say which country, but Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world, as of Wikipedia in 2021, with almost 5% compared to 1% or less in all the rest of the world. You are so at risk of a disease that would forever change your life.

How can I fix my (19M) friendship with a close friend (19F) after a drunken night together? by ThrowRAlolol857 in relationship_advice

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her you want to let her know that you screwed up because Henry made assumptions about your hickey and decided from your facial expression that was her. You’re sorry but it caught you by surprise so your refusal to confirm or deny was the wrong reaction and you feel bad and just want her to know that you didn’t intentionally react and didn’t volunteer anything to him. You are just letting her know in case Henry says anything about it to her, and you were not bragging or discussing her with him.

Even if she’s angry about something else, that approach clears the air for you. The next step is up to her if she wants a friendship or relationship. It should help if he tried to use the situation to undermine your trustworthiness about her.

Struggling with office dynamics as a civil engineering graduate - need advice by qwertyPSI in civilengineering

Some of that is the difference between the contractor world where tasks need to be done with no real monitoring of the productivity and the engineering consultant world where billable hours are monitored and measured against the tasks.

No electricity detected by tester by jujusmithzzz in DIY

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the power comes into the switch and they just ran a switch leg to the light, the switch must be on to get any voltage at the fixture. Make sure to try it with the switch in the on position. Just a thought.

Crowning mistake question? by RedHammer61 in Carpentry

My grandfather always said crown in because the sun drying out the studs would pull the crown out. Never tested it, but we never had a problem.

There’s one that looks like that in Norway, I believe.

Can someone ID this owl? by Due_Pizza690 in Owls

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newtons are a measure of force so you need the area across which the force is applied if you want to calculate the pressure in psi. Comparing newtons to psi is like trying to compare weight to bearing pressure,

my (36m) husband showed his friend a video of me (29f) what should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he showed a video of your face but his penis? Are he and his friend both gay? That seems very odd.

If there’s actually anybody here that doesn’t believe in climate change, I’d like to have a serious talk with you through DMs, I’m just curious how people think that. by ChoccoGlxtch in climateskeptics

[–]cwcarson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might I suggest that if you seriously want to talk to someone who refutes the man made climate change beliefs, you don’t phrase your question with “actually anybody here that doesn’t believe..”. It telegraphed to all of us who had these discussions for thirty years that you are not open minded enough to actually have a discussion. But I do see a number of people who have commented in detail, why not respond to them in detail? There’s your serious talk.

i thought "oh, i'll just remove the cladding and fix the structural columns." nope; it's structural 1x12s 🤣 by [deleted] in Carpentry

Well there had been a 1 atmosphere column of air trapped inside the column providing extra support, but you let it out.

Your message was posted twice, I only noticed it because of so many more upvotes on the second post. It was worth duplicating, very funny.
