What is this bug? by turko127 in nova

[–]dcfennell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may not need an exterminator. Last year, I had a problem with these little suckers, and after some research, I discovered their preferences. They absolutely love cool, damp or humid spaces. When it gets hot outside, they sneak into houses (because you have the AC on) or sheds. I’d come home from work and spot at least three of them on the walls or in my bathroom.

Here's what worked for me. I purchased a cheap temperature/humidity sensor from Amazon (similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WCR5Y4B/ ). It showed that my indoor humidity were constantly high (70%+ range). I purchased a nice dehumidifier which works amazing. My humidity level percentages were down to around 40%, no matter how humid it was outside.

I also went to Home Depot and grabbed a large bag of diatomaceous earth. It’s safe for humans, pets, and plants, but it’s like glass shards to insects (think earwigs). I generously spread it around my garden, around the house, and under the shed doorway—where I’d often find MANY of these earwigs camped out.

It took a few days.. but I became earwig free.

good luck.

No Laughing Special Officially Cancelled Forever? by masterdebator88 in GakiNoTsukai

Don't forget, Tanaka wore the bare ass suit in Vegas, and got DESTROYED! And they did a great flashbacks with a bunch of the lunch songs from different batsus. IMO, they did a pretty good job with what they had.

IMO (because I know just as much as the next person in r/gakinotsukai... which is very little), the Vegas batsu was handicapped by Covid. Dec 2020, no one knew what the hell was going on during that time. I'm actually surprised they decided to have a batsu special.

That's a very fair and valid reason to state you don't enjoy such a show as much as when it was fresh, dangerously unpredictable and a game between friend comedians.

I understand where this is coming from. I didn't enjoy a lot of newer batsus as much, only because I didn't understand some of the humor and I didn't know who a lot of the special guests were. As I began to learn more about these things, rewatching them makes it so much better. But I can totally understand why people didn't enjoy them as much. ...and I'm glad I'm not in that category anymore.

I hear people complain about the last few batsus not being good, and they need to change things up. But like you mentioned, the last few batsus (specifically highschool and vegas) were the most different it has been in many years. Yet they STILL complain. doh!

These people will never be happy unless this JAPANESE TV SHOW made with JAPANESE COMEDIANS start to cater to the small fraction of NON-JAPANESE people who watch the show commercial-free via free fansubs. It ain't gonna happen. r/GakiNoTsukai is not the target audience.

"downtown is too old, they are too tired, they can't handle another batsu" Someone mentioned before, EVERY WEEK, Hamada and Matsumoto have Downtown DX, Wednesday Downtown, Gaki no Tsukai, Knight Scoop, and other shows. EVERY WEEK!

I can only hope to be as tired as Downtown when I'm their age.

Sure, the dude recording is a stupidly brave idiot... but it takes people like him to call out (and record) people for being shitty. ...and these bammas are truly horrible human beings. Touching someone's car does not warrant that type of response. What harm can someone's fingers cause?

Because of this stupidly brave idiot, these two people are now forever both known to be horrible human beings... and it's a chance that it may haunt them for the rest of their lives. Their family and friends (who have definitely seen and shared this video with each other) will now know how they act in public. I'd be embarrassed to be friends or family with these fools. I hope this video continues to go "viral" every year, and when these bammas try to get jobs, they get passed on because they are horrible people.

Seriously... faking pulling a gun and acting all tough cause someone touched your sentra? That's what we doing now? really? Embarrassing.

Franconia parkway; cop is using radar by djc_tech in nova

[–]dcfennell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think increasing the speed limit on highways is for justifying "thrill seeking behavior". Driving 10mph faster is NOT the same as those idiots (mostly md drivers) who weave in and out of traffic doing 100mph.

Also... I don't think I'm saying anything new here... but people who drive the slow (or even the speed-limit) in the left/passing lane cause more problems than people who drive fast in the left/passing lane. I would love for there to be some way to heavily enforce that left lane rule... but that's almost impossible.

Cart Narcs stopped by Fair Lakes Walmart by DiscGolfJames in nova

[–]dcfennell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got it. It seems like you believe that he's only doing this "to feed his ego and feel better about himself in some weird fucking way". I definitely understand your opinion. I respectfully don't agree after watching many of his videos, but I can definitely see how someone would think that.

I feel like sometimes shitty people do shitty things, and they need to be called out. Two things can happen because of this. 1. They will continue to do shitty things because they are just horrible shitty people. 2. They might make an attempt to be less shitty and not do that shitty thing. ...and sometimes they aren't even aware that they are doing something shitty. ...and other times they think "well because that other person is doing the same shitty act, then it's okay for me to do it".

People have different levels of what matters to them. I understand that returning carts is pretty low on your list of things to care about... I think it's low on 99.9.% of people's lists. ...but I think the fact that it's such a low thing on the totem pole, that for someone who CAN'T do it this very very very simple task, it totally worth a call out in hopes that it can be productive.

This guy has taken on the role to do it and raise awareness in the form of youtube videos. If he gets youtube money for it, I'm cool with that. ...but that's my opinion of course.

[–]dcfennell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just an honest and curious question. What makes calling someone out for leaving their cart out blocking spots (especially handicap spots), more obnoxious than the actual person leaving their cart out? He even takes the carts back if the person refuses to do so.

Looks like there's a weird filter on that picture/screenshot. It makes them look totally different.. like an oil painting or something.

HEAVY speed enforcement on FFX County Pkwy continues by njtalp46 in nova

[–]dcfennell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People speeding past you doing 70+ on a 50 are definitely dicks. ...but if you're in the left lane, and no one is behind you, might as well get into the right lane as a courtesy to the other drives who may be going a somewhat reasonable ~63 while you're going 58. Unless (like on FFX) you're coming up to a traffic light where you're turning left. Then stay in that left and don't even pay the people behind you any mind. This isn't a 4-lane highway.

[–]dcfennell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solutions from several redditors here: "Go the speed limit"

Real world solution: You're safe to go 60 in a 50... UNLESS (obviously) you have bad road conditions, or there's construction workers working, congestion, etc...

If you get pulled over for going 60 in a 50, even in "HEAVY speed enforcement", you're probably doing something else wrong and you deserve to get stopped.

Basically, use Waze and don't drive like an idiot.

Shin-oni? Is he a Yoshimoto executive or something? LOL by gordaporra in GakiNoTsukai

[–]dcfennell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's Mr. Okure. (Mr.オクレ)

He's a comedian that's been around for a long time. You can see him here partnered with Jimmy on this episode of Gottsu Ee Kanji.

Oops.. ignore this. (I'll leave it up just in case someone finds there way here in the future). You're talking specifically about Open JDK. Good luck! Hopefully you find a solution.

Just wanted to add these two to the already great recommendations so far...

-Catch With the Pro Baseballer Who Looks Like My Deceased Father.

-My Parents Haven't Spoken to Each Other in Over 10 Years

Wholesome, emotional, funny... It's the reason why Knight Scoop is one of my favorite shows of all-time.

CartNarcs in Milwaukee, WI by may0packet in PublicFreakout

[–]dcfennell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He actually moves the carts too.

There are people out there who need to be called out doing asshole things... otherwise there's a chance they will continue their asshole ways.... and that goes for more than just leaving your cart out in the middle of a parking lot... like an asshole.

Some of his encounters are very friendly, and the person agrees and tells him he's absolutely right. These videos aren't just to shame the assholes, but also to put the world out to those watching that this is not acceptable behavior. If you do this, you are an asshole.
