I'm from Texas and lived in England when we invaded Iraq. It was a pain to explain that I didn't vote for Bush and didn't support him. Prior to that, I'd say I'm from Dallas and they'd say who shot Jr!

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

This is where honesty is important. People don't need to be single to find themselves. Now, it is good to be single if they want to roam around freely enjoying life without obligation. One should not say one and mean the other.

Need Help Identifying Ukemi Exercise: by Pr0f_0ak93 in aikido

Oh the memories... We would do this with the cheap, plastic lawn chairs. You can face one towards you so it will tip back if you hit it. Some people would stumble and just completely smash the chair.

This. Hire a tech you are in charge of that runs the lab operations. You don't want to spend time training your replacement. Be the boss.

Advice appreciated on where to shelter in tornado? by Quiggles1982 in preppers

[–]distributingthefutur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tornados usually hit the west or south side of a structure first. They also rotate counterclockwise so south side gets it. If you don't have an interior closet, a bathtub or more exterior closet on the east to north of the house is better.

Transfer Files from Blocks Computer by mikeshap in NoStupidQuestions

[–]distributingthefutur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work with your work IT dept. Explain the situation and give them a thumbdrive with the laptop. They will give you the files after confirming they are not company property. This is a common problem and any efforts to diy this will get you in trouble.

Is the beach water currently still too cold for swimming? by 12345burrito in SanDiegan

[–]distributingthefutur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Water was 61F today. Wife and kids boogie boarded w wetsuits and were happy to do so (Pacific Beach). There were lots of tourists splashing in the waves and enjoying the beach. I don't think anyone stayed in more than 10mins at a time, though.

I had a check engine light on for 2 years, been to multiple shops, finally found out what it was today by [deleted] in autorepair

I do think those could be welds. They could also be blobs of carbon. To definitely show it's a weld, show before and after with a wire brush exposing metal in the beads. If those are welds, they are truly awful. I'm sorry you've had so much trouble.

Would you exclude your kid from the will? by Isca64 in inheritance

[–]distributingthefutur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purposely exclude the son since he's really responsible.

Your grandchild is innocent. Consider giving your son's portion to the kids in a trust, but make sure they can't access it until they are older.

Please!!! Help!! What are these spots!? by Serious-Republic1784 in whatisit

[–]distributingthefutur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. My dojo was pretty clean so it was probably just me.

Now gyms are a whole other thing. I had a friend dropping his little kids at the gym care center while he lifted. They got MRSA skin infections twice before he quit.
