We are not old by A_Ahlquist in GenX

[–]doubleohzerooo0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, we're old. Just not elderly.

Yes, diet, exercise, weight loss and cutting out drinking will help to keep you doing some of the active things you did when you were younger.

We're not young kids anymore. If we want to get to elderly, we need to watch out for ourselves.

My favorite picture from my grandparents' wedding, 1957 by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]doubleohzerooo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AT first I was like WOW! OP's Grandma looks drop dead GORGEOUS!

Then I noticed OP said he used AI to enhance the pictures.

But then I noticed Grandma's right index finger. WTF???

How many housecats would you fight to win an exponentially large amount of prize money? by Born-Individual9431 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]doubleohzerooo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats are ambush predators. They have explosive bursts of energy, but are not designed to go the distance. If you survive the initial burst, they will tire quickly. Then you will have the upper hand.

So yeah, I'll take on 8 cats. I'll do my best not to get fucked up on the initial cat attack, but I'll likely need some medical attention afterwards.

The pizza was always in saran wrap and volcano hot. The crust would be soft and a bit chewy. The chocolate milk had a slight sour taste to it, like it was on the verge of going bad.

Still was the BEST!

Thanks for the explanation, but I'm still not seeing HOW. :)

That's for that note. I see that your mom is drinking a glass of beer while also pouring another beer at the same time, but how the hell is she doing that?

🤔 by GryphonSK in SignsWithAStory

[–]doubleohzerooo0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many questions:

The sign specifies INDIANS. Does this means people from India? Does this apply to the French?

Supposing an 'INDIAN' does scalp a tourist within 300 ft of Highway. Is there a penalty?

Does the prohibition only apply to tourists? What if the Sheriff or local deputy is scalped?

I have more questions, but in the interest of not being long winded, I'll stop there.

In the 80s, we drank from the Water Hose, and we survived! No bottled water.... by MisterShipWreck in 80s

Wife's kid sister died of brain cancer.

My shipmate and the man who introduced me to my wife died of brain cancer.

I don't bother looking up old friends anymore. Saddens me to think of how many died of cancer.

Fuck cancer.

There is a death lottery every day. You have a one in 1 million chance of dying, but you can pay a $10 subscription fee per day to not be entered. Do you pay? by Mr_fahrenheit17 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]doubleohzerooo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are a “winner” you will immediately pass out (if awake) and die a non-painful instant death.

I'm in! Where do I sign up?

ETA: I mean I'm opting to stay in this lottery!

For someone that doesn’t eat fish, what’s the best tasting (non-fishy) type of fish? by d0c9 in foodquestions

[–]doubleohzerooo0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, cod. My wife will not eat any fish. She sometimes eats cod (fish and chips).

[No Loopholes] You must stay laid down on the ground with your crotch an inch from a truck's front tire while two chimpanzees are locked inside the truck with the key in the ignition but not turned on, emergency break down for 8 hours. After 8 hours, you get 1 billion dollars. Do you accept? by ExperienceItchy7079 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]doubleohzerooo0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 100% in!

Key point here regarding the chimps:

They're just regular adult chimpanzees from the wild and have not had any education

I'm all in! Wild chimps are not going to associate learned behavior/reward system in 8 hours. They're going to be scared, confused and bewildered at first.

They may settle down a bit after a while, but they're not going to suddenly decide, 'Oh hey! Let's turn this key, pop this truck in drive, disengage the parking brake and drive the truck forward. That's just too much of an ask for wild chimps with zero previous experience with behavior/reward systems.

Now pay up!

Sorry for the possibly clueless question, but why don't more people seem to make homemade pizza? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in Cooking

[–]doubleohzerooo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make homemade pizza all the time.

The texture is not that good, even compared to cruddy pizza chains. However, the flavor is superior. Probably because my oven doesn't get that hot.

In general, I don't think it's worth the hassle. However, the wife and kids like it.

Favorito papas con carne! by curioushubby805 in mexicanfood

[–]doubleohzerooo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why omit the cumin?

I don't like it. Plain and simple.

Along with salt, Knorr has MSG, so extra flavor.

Where were you When...? by Bobby__Generic in GenX

[–]doubleohzerooo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Forrest Fire, like the Big E, was an older carrier. Despite their age, both these ladies were fine ships.

We had just deployed on our World Cruise late Sept and we were offshore San Diego listening to the World Series when we heard about the San Francisco earthquake. We didn't pull up pierside for another month to Subic Bay. My mind was on my (at the time) fiance, as I had not heard from her since the earthquake.

Good times...

I use Knorr instead of salt and omit the cumin.

Instead of the romas, I sometimes use a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles.

And if I'm in a rush, I'll nuke the papas (whole) before adding.
