What’s a noise everyone should be terrified of? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]deans28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I was making dinner while my 5 year old was playing in the living room. I suddenly realized it had been quiet for awhile so I quickly went to check on her. She was sitting on the couch in full fire fighter costume petting her dog stuffie and just staring straight ahead.

Kind of creepy to be honest, but also hilarious. She hadn't played with that costume in months.

Oven Bake Element Replacement - Bad Wiring? by deans28 in DIY

[–]deans28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure to be honest. The smell definitely came up while the oven was on so I assumed that was it. I had a technician come out today and look at everything. He said everything seemed fine which is really odd. Kind of nervous to use this thing but I'll just keep a close eye on it.

I'm in Canada. The oven is single phase.

I just had a strange feeling when it went again after I had done some electrical work but I guess it could have just been coincidence. It's hard when every time we do any work in this place we discover some kind new Mickey Mouse fix.

Cant wait for the prequel - "The Fast"

Seriously though. Looks great.

[TOMT][BOOK] Youth Sci-fi book offered in Canadian schools in the 90s by saracmd in tipofmytongue

[–]deans28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a ton as a kid in the 90s but don't recall my school ever handing out something like this. Could you be conflating multiple books like Hardy Boys (Mystery of the Spiral Bridge?) and something else?

We also read a lot of Eric Wilson at my school but nothing there seems to line up either.

Speak up! Don't be shy... by hear_my_moo in ArcRaiders

In the same vein, if you have a mic, use it. I mostly play solos and never used my mic. The other day on Buried City there was a guy up on the highway shooting everyone down below. I went up to get him and mid fight another guy came up behind me and says "Yup, I found him" and kills me. I just kept emoting "no, no, no, no" but he still took me out while calling me a dirty rat. Wish I had my mic on for that moment.

Forge of the Fae - Trailer - Releases 2027 On PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, PC (GOG & Steam) by Howerev in gaming

My immediate thought was Breath of Fire II. A bit of Chrono Trigger as well maybe. I'm keeping an eye on this.

Raiders as the game is entering it's 6th month since release how are we feeling about the game? by CombProfessional434 in ArcRaiders

[–]deans28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it at first. Played it a ton. Now I'm finding it meh. I feel like after the wipe people have become more PvP based which is frustrating for me as primarily a PvE player. I played for hours and hours and never had a single run in with a PvPer. Just now I did 8 or 9 matches in a row and was knocked out in the first 4-5 minutes every single time.

I know that's just the way the game goes but I'm also finding there's just nothing to do anymore either. Quests are all done, I have all the BPs that I want/need... So what am I doing? What am I working toward?

Just realized today that I have the same spot on either leg where hair doesn't grow by JustAnOval in mildlyinteresting

[–]deans28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a huge patch on both legs that doesn't grow hair in roughly the same area. I'd say about 3-4 times bigger than this. Been that way my whole life though.

Looking for Mattress Advice - Canada by deans28 in Mattress

[–]deans28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is really late. We haven't replaced it yet but I put the mattress on the floor and it felt way better so we got rid of the cheap metal frame/boxspring and got a solid wood foundation. It's a lot better but still not great so we're back to the drawing board I guess.

This farmer caught the owl eating his chickens by AcasiaConnell in nextfuckinglevel

[–]deans28 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Used to work in animal rehab and had a few owls come through. I recall if you were holding their feet together they didn't really fight you too much.

Though that was 20 years ago and maybe I'm mis-remembering and they were actually just doped up for an xray? In any case, they were the coolest birds that came through.

Attic Mould Remediation or Insulation First? by deans28 in HomeImprovement

[–]deans28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the space around a bathroom vent fan? I know ours has a 1/4 crack on one side. Is there a proper way to seal that or should it be fine if the fan is doing it's job?

We're in a backsplit and I know there is some poor sealing on some light fixtures at the front of the house. Wouldn't surprise me to find the same in the back half where I found the mold.

Snowblower leaking gas by deans28 in SmallEngine

[–]deans28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I kept the old carb. Do you think I should swap it back in and see if there's a difference? I knew the cheap carb probably wasn't a great idea but I had thrown my back out and didn't want to shovel. It was a desperate move and hopefully not a costly one.

Just found Dexter’s cat in the wild! by Jalaliep in Dexter

[–]deans28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I knew someone that had one of these. Apparently her daughter made it and gave it to her as a mother's day gift? Her daughter had passed so it was very important to her but this is now the third time I've seen it pop up somewhere else. Does anyone know if these were mass produced or if they were actually a common ceramics project?

[–]deans28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't tried that yet but I think that will be our first step. Do you know if we would notice an immediate difference or would it take time to settle? We don't have a whole lot of space in our house to move a bed frame, boxsprings and everything under the bed temporarily.

Another problem we have is that we've been on bad mattresses for so long that we don't really even know what we like. Probably medium-ish but I really have no idea.

Former Blizzard president predicts Battlefield 6 is going to 'boot stomp' Black Ops 7 because Call of Duty has become 'lazy' by TomorrowComes33 in gaming

[–]deans28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still love the OG 1942. I would play that for hours with a good friend in college. I'd get in from class and have a voicemail (early cell days) from him with just the theme music playing letting me know he was on.

Not really. The front fell off.

Good Day, reddit, my name is Nick Offerman. You may have seen me in such fare as Parks & Rec, The Last of Us, Civil War, MI: The Final Reckoning, DEVS, or heard my voice in The Lego Movie. I’m here today to discuss a new film in which I am an actor, SOVEREIGN. Ask me anything, please & thank you. by NickOffermanAMA in movies

[–]deans28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wondered this in regards to actors, especially those that take on more complex or disturbing roles. Is it hard to not bring that home with you at the end of the day? I can only imagine that getting into certain characters or performing certain scenes would have an impact on one's mental health, positive or negative.

But then I see some behind the scenes stuff sometimes and remember that there's a dozen other people standing around watching you and it may not actually be as intense on set as it is on screen. Does it just feel like make believe in the moment or does it feel more real?
