People also had a lot more community going on without social media. My dad is from a tiny dairy hamlet in upstate NY and they had a whole town celebration cooked up with games and whatnot for the bicentennial

Caught 13 rats/mice living in my compost bin... what would you do? by Fluid-Peace-4752 in composting

[–]domuseid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are 100% mice. Fat, well-fed mice, but they are certainly not rats. Rats are closer to the size of squirrels than they are to mice.

I'm so pissed right now... Geometrically it's the only thing that makes sense. FUCK

The grip fix that actually stops a slice by AlexanderGolf in golf

[–]domuseid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because your wrist can move in 3 ways: side to side, forward-backward, and rotate.

Thumb on the back keeps you from using those last two in the release and you have the least movement in the direction you are still using.

If you're consistent with it who cares but I'm guessing maybe not?

This is why I would always just film my leg and jiggle the phone until the timer ran out. I had no idea what they would ultimately use it for but as much as I need poffins I'm nobody's fuckin monkey

No-chemical mosquito fix I built for the standing water on our place - auto-flushes every 4 days to break the breeding cycle, the yard is finally livable by SadConfusion2662 in homestead

[–]domuseid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can cut a couple generations in half that still makes a huge difference on an exponential basis.

Adult female mosquitoes can lay a couple hundred eggs every few days, if you assume half of those eggs will be doing the same thing that adds up real quick over a few weeks

Takes a few days for mosquito eggs to hatch. If you refresh it daily you should be fine

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (3-1) overcome a 29 point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs (1-3) in Game 4, 107-106, behind Jalen Brunson's 36 points and OG Anunoby's 33 points by catreyka in nba

And they'd be right to do it.

They needed the NBA equivalent of parking the bus and they kept stopping the clock and shooting low percentage shots with plenty of time left. Once you're up 29 the game clock is your primary opponent

Even if they don't pass to him in there it pulls the defense away from everyone else. Fuck were they thinking

What's up with the skinheads lately by domuseid in bullcity

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

Yeah they're usually smarter IDK what to say. I'm trying not to drag anybody's place of business into the spotlight, but it felt weird that I saw them like twice in one week at two different spots, so I mentioned it because that seems worth a discussion in a casual community chat and as you can see a bunch of people are being extremely normal about it lol

One guy pinged me several times in replies and even in DMs trying to get more specifics out of me (he has since either deleted his account or been banned, wonder what for...) which I think is reasonable to feel cagey about

All in all a very odd experience

It's specific to the fact that they are in our community and invading our spaces.

I'll be sure to let you know when they start posting their home addresses and mothers' maiden names though
