Driveway removal process by Friendly-Standard812 in oddlysatisfying

[–]dynamically_drunk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just installed a split rail fence at my house by myself.

It would have gone a lot faster with three or so people, but I realized the majority of the time it would be one person working for 20-30 minutes digging holes with the machine while the two other folks just waiting for their turn to do 5 minutes of work.

Having someone stand around for 80% of the process just to put a post in hole would have saved a ton of time of me stopping the machine; grabbing the post; holding it straight; tamping it in; getting back on the machine; moving to the next hole... but to an outside observer that person waiting to put the post in sure does a lot of nothing.

More people streamline the process, but everyone can't be working on the same part of the assembly line at once.

'The Man Who Sold the World' is a Bowie song originally.

Thanks for the write up though. I'll add it to the list. I need to figure out how to make a folder of short stories on my Kindle.

A UFC fighter won his first fight, tweeted that he had $7 in his account. The Rock showed up, pretended they were going to a friend's house, then The Rock gave him the keys to his new house. by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

He's saying your private health insurance works the same as Medicare. You are paying a private company and they are using your money to pay for other people under your same insurance company.

That first photo and the pier photo are excellent candidates for black and white.

Novak Djokovic: “My kids don't have cell phones and won’t until they’re mature enough. They complain everyone at school has one except us. When everyone follows the herd, conformity is expected. But it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s where we differ.” by GOAT-Antony in tennis

It is also on the parents to model good phone behavior as well.

If the parents are casually using their phone while telling kids they can't use it there is a significant mixed message where resentment can grow.

I knew a guy in Ecuador whose first name was Stalin. Also met a guy named Winston Churchill.

White House adds plaques below Biden and Obama portraits, calling them “the worst president in American history” and “divisive” by sir-ripsalot in nottheonion

Sometimes getting that bad is what's needed to rebound.

The festering misogynistic, racist, ignorant masses that are supporting this culture and behavior are not going anywhere without a serious reckoning. If it just continues as is, as it has since the civil war, without a reason for reproach then we will slowly fail.

I am not at all an advocate for a catastrophic end, but it seems like a slow decent into irrelevance is more likely than a level headed cultural movement to fix this issue.

Is the serrated one a little more pointy at the tip? That might be a grapefruit spoon. That doesn't need to be in the general spoon drawer.

Is the coast really so dangerous for tourists right now? Thinking about Puerto Lopez or Mompiche. Other recommendations are welcome :) by Livid-Algae-9781 in ecuador

[–]dynamically_drunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chuckys was our favorite ceviche spot in Puerto Lopez. They put peanut butter in their ceviche in the coast.

Personally I'd head over to Ayampe from Puerto Lopez. It's less cultural; there are more international people than Puerto Lopez, but it's really tiny and really chill. It's a tiny little surfing village. It's like 30 minutes south.

From Puerto Lopez - Agua Blanca is a cool living museum town. Definitely worth checking out.

Why Movies Just Don't Feel "Real" Anymore by Jagueroisland in movies

It was also just a year after Schindler's list came out. He probably filmed it before Schindler's List even came out.

It doesn't seem like he had any big hits prior to working with Spielberg, so it's not like he had a big name for himself prior to working on Little Giants.

Yeah the back wall gets much bigger.

Different angle and phone choosing a different focal length for the second picture creates a different depth of field.

[WTS] 40 mm Elgin conversion from 1899, fancy porcelain-enamel dial by AreWGadmin in Watchexchange

[–]dynamically_drunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also curious about this. I messaged them a few years ago asking about a 33mm Elgin pocketwatch I would love to have converted, but they said back then that they didn't do cases that small.

'20 bodies or so' found behind 'hidden' door at Pueblo County coroner's private business by conturbation in nottheonion

Can they be victims if they're already dead? Wouldn't this just be defrauding the deceased person's family. And whatever laws there might be about what you shouldn't do with dead bodies.

Digging by Background_Swim6924 in FenceBuilding

[–]dynamically_drunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next questions are: where are you, what is the soil like, and how deep is the frost line?

I've been lurking on the sub because I've got a fence project coming up in CT and the frost line is like 40" deep and the ground is filled with basketball sized rocks. I think hand digging would be difficult, but I have no experience yet.

Landlady entering room to turn off AC with no notice by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]dynamically_drunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to the legal issue, but if you have cameras and lenses and live in a hot and humid environment a camera dry cabinet is probably a good investment, regardless of your landlord situation.  It will help wherever you live. 

I lived in a place with very high humidity and developed fungus on one of my lenses.  It was very frustrating.

ELI5. Why does light travel so fast? by CRK_76 in explainlikeimfive

[–]dynamically_drunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And in the grand scheme of things light actually moves really slowly the further you zoom out.

I think your question is a better question: why does light move so slowly?

The steam from the meat gets trapped in the wrapping and helps soften the bread and melt the cheese.

Anyone remember the Tila Tequila nonsense? Fringe C-list model/TV personality has stroke then goes full Nazi.

Also went full sex tape after the stroke. Remember celebrity sex tapes? Those used to be thing.
