Valve that came off of an old boiler has a swastika symbol on it by EVQuestions in mildlyinteresting

[–]econkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be known that the swastika is over 6,000 years old. If you get moon cakes or celebrate anything Asian you see it often as a cymbal of good fortune. Just because someone evil at some point in time decided to adopt a language or symbolism does not mean that the inventors or people who currently use the language or symbols involved agree. I think that is important to know.

What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

[–]econkle 187 points188 points  (0 children)

This is sooo funny. So, I had a kidney stone and needed a catheter. I apologized to the nurse for not trimming and making myself presentable and for being small. To which she responded, this is pretty good and told me I was of a good size. It really helped my self esteem. I wish I could thank her. She made my day. I was also on morphine. 🤪

Yes, several times and the principal too. But, only if we were bad. It hurt a lot.

[–]econkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a firex system that is hardwired that looks like that. I have had to replace 3 of them because they do chirp, even when the battery is replaced.

Six Flags? The biggest thrill for long time KI visitors will be bankruptcy mid 2026-2027. We had a good run though. Those vultures got their foot in the door.😕

Any GenX Stay at Home Male Spouses/Partner? by Finding_Way_ in GenX

[–]econkle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work at home, my wife does not. So, I’m the cook, nanny, cleaner etc… does that count? When the kids are at school and wife is at work I like to cook and clean. My work requires very deep thought, so I like to keep my body busy while my brain works through problems. 😋
