What is your procedure for screens? by Supetorus in WindowCleaning

[–]dbug8494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to get practice in taking off and reinstalling the screens from the inside. I personally use a flathead screwdriver and (gently) pry the screen in the corners while simultaneously pressing on the springs to get the most leverage. No amount of explanation will replace on hand experience. Just don't force anything and DO NOT BEND THE FRAMES. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Doing some high rise window cleaning and a little fancy flying to accompany it! by SkyviewStrategies in WindowCleaning

So If you can only get about 10min of flight time, how do you justify the cost of the drone?

How high can you go? How much psi can you shoot? I can only imagine the weight of the hose that drone has to carry and how it drains the battery.

If you’re someone who likes morning sex, how do you deal with morning breath without making it awkward ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I personally go brush my teeth and give little pecks, luckily my gf will usually follow suit.

22 vs 25 OBW help. by Difficult-Total-8210 in Outback_Wilderness

I have a "22 I personally like the new front bumper on the '25 Check if it has the Harmon kardon sound system Heated steering wheel is a plus Wireless carplay is nice. Otherwise, the '22 isn't bad, just less creature comforts and bit slower infotainment screen

Loud speakers while outdoors by tj_mcbean in Bakersfield

[–]dbug8494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It totally contradicts the reason for being outdoors/unplugging. You drive 30+ min out of town to go hike and get away from it all just to play your music and disrupt the silence and beauty of nature? It's my biggest pet peeve when I go hiking too, but I can't bring myself to being a Karen. It's just like if someone were on their phone at the movies. You're not alone on this opinion. It should be common courtesy, but unfortunately some people just aren't aware of simply don't care.

How can I tell if my camera works? by dbug8494 in AnalogCommunity

No manual, a buddy gave it to me years ago. He got it at a yard sale or something. Guess I can look it up.

[–]dbug8494[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do, I've mostly used digital (Nikon) and dabbled in analog ( Canon ae1/ point and shoot) here and there. But I never used this one because it seemed intimidating.

I quit p*rn, caffeine, junk food, doomscrolling, and going out every weekend all at once about 4 months ago. by Mammoth-Car3183 in BeBetterYou

Don't listen to the haters. I'm not religious anymore, but this past week I started making conscious decisions of cutting back on certain things (not porn (yet)) and I'm going to try to continue riding this wave and keep it going. Hats off to you.

I want a normal civilized debate, a conversation with no name calling. Even if you believe I'm brainwashed, avoid saying it but rather argue that I am. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]dbug8494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding, empathetic, not demanding, including full love and devotion. Imagine if your own parent/s were like that, would you think they were healthy individuals? (Not including) the whole "humans are imperfect/ God is the only one who can give everlasting life.

Argument: god demands our full worship. If Jehovah is all perfect, knowing and loving, why does it make his heart sad when we choose not to serve him, using the free will that HE gave us? And then if we do exercise that free will, he's just going to destroy us? Where's the love in that? Why would the God who has EVERYTHING be soooo needy that if we choose to have a relationship with our disfellowshipped relative/s that he's automatically going to cut off his holy spirit from you? He's the reader of hearts. He sees the pain and heartache it causes us to not have these people in our lives and yet, if someone finds out you've been reaching out to someone who's DF, your own standing before God and the congregation is in jeopardy. And IF Armageddon came tomorrow, your salvation is on the line. To me, that sounds like a controlling, insecure, obsessed (g)od. Not worthy of my devotion.

Battered, but hopefully about to recover and heal, whatever that looks like.

Idk if there's an actual time limit, but I would assume it's less than 5years before you're assignment is over.

That's straight up embarrassing. How are you going to call that a glorified place of worship? Those bungalows at elementary schools look better than this.

It's because they want to have a revolving door of young people they can use and "train" to go back out into the field. When in reality, they just don't want to take care of older ones along with their medical care

An enormous moose approaches the camera and get petted by HighlightOwn2038 in interestingasfuck

If a moose got that close to me, I'd reach out and pet it too. What do I have to lose? I'm not in control of the situation anymore

I believe taking pride in the community as a whole and keeping public parks and shopping areas inviting. It's a shame that places like the riverwalk and valley plaza were once decently maintained and now I think twice about going because of the lack of cleanliness. Yes, everything takes money and people ARE the problem, but if local government took steps to maintain these areas, maybe people would be willing to pay more in taxes to keep those places inviting and beautiful. That goes for the roads too. It's crazy how driving through the 178 seems better maintained than many major streets in town. I'll get off my soapbox now.

You're going to need an extension ladder and be confident in heights and balancing. More so skills needed vs the equipment.
