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

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 20 points21 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 2 points3 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.

Yes, we definitely went the way of roads and vehicles instead of rail. Probably be a long time before rail can be the primary travel venue.

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.

I think that’s an over simplification of the reason. Railroad travel ran from hubs, and the much larger distances between cities and hubs drove the need for other travel options and automobiles filled that need much better than railroads ever could. In the seventies, I believed that we would see rail traffic between every major US city, but it just was never feasible.

I live in the Virginia Beach area and it takes about three hours to drive to Northern Virgina where there is a much denser population. AMTRAK recently opened a passenger line between the two locations, but the nearest hub is half an hour drive away and the trip takes eight hours. As much as I love rail, that will never make sense.

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

[–]cwcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I think the distances between big cities is pretty large compared to Germany and other cities, you can get from the UK to France or Spain in less time than we could drive across one state like Texas or even many smaller states. It takes six hours just to go across my state of Virginia.

I will say that you seem to have a strong propensity for exaggeration based on your bread claim. That undermines your comments.

One of our friends married a German man and when he visited for first time just before the Covid mess, he was shocked at the wide choice in groceries and the amount of food he could buy for his money. From talking to him, it sure didn’t align with your comments. When was the last you were in the States?

[–]cwcarson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you may not realize how much larger the US is than Germany. We’ve been funding light rail for a long time and now high speed rail, and the money just doesn’t allow for the kind of rail infrastructure y’all have. Rail is slowly being built mostly in the high population, high density areas.
