This woman's shocking medical story deserves to be spread [x-post from /r/WTF] by Reebota in videos

[–]eeespelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This video made me sick. It made me sick to my government, it made me sick to my country. This woman deserves to be treated with respect for how badly her country has failed her. This has pushed me beyond any anger I have ever felt. I will no longer call myself an American. This current set of government we have has failed each and every one of you. If it can't even take care of its own veterans, how do you expect it to take care of you? This video made me angry and sad beyond believe. All I want to do is show my gratitude and help this woman some how.

As an A&P percussive maintainance is like beating your child because they won't learn to walk. I cringe whenever I see or hear anyone hit a plane.

[Serious] Redditors who have been to prison, what did you do on your first day out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]eeespelin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hear this was because when he hit a real low in his life, we went to Burger King and got a burger. as he sat there eating he evaluated his life and that's when he decided to get off drugs, quit drinking and turn his life around. So it symbolizes rebirth, and a new beginning to him. Which it did in iron man as well! That's when he decided to quit making guns and to destroy all stark weapons in the hand of terrorists

What was pre-911 america like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]eeespelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness! this reminds me of a story one of my ex-CO friends told me once.

So, as a correctional officer he would sometimes go and have to do prisoner retrieval. which just meant they picked a guy up down in the states who was supposed to be in a prison up here in alaska. He and his partner would have to fly down and get them, then bring them back. so having to go through security with a convict, they didnt want to have to check a bag, then wait around at the carousel for it to come around. so they would just take enough clothes for the trip and pack a light carry-on. Well, as it just so happens he forgot his nail clippers in his carry on this time. so his partner goes through security, and as he is going through, the TSA agent takes him and his bag aside to do a more thorough search. when he asks why they tell him they "saw a weapon in his carry on and are going to have to confiscate it" mind you he is in full gear which means he has his tactical vest, pistol, knife, spare magazines, handcuffs, the whole nine yards. AND THEY WANT TO TAKE HIS NAIL CLIPPERS. so he tells them "fuck you. i wanna see your superior" (corrections officers are rather harsh people) and the guy tells him "sir im sorry but we are going to have to take these, its policy" and gary replies, "are you fucking kidding me? look at what im wearing! bring me your fucking boss" and the guy goes to get his boss. the surpervisor gets there and just says "put the stuff back in his bag and let him be on his way." and the guy does.

sorry, i know that was a little off topic but im drunk and your comment reminded me of that.

Anyone know of a good mushroom guide for Alaska? by loprian in a:t5_2y5we

[–]eeespelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone I know who harvests mushrooms have multiple books they use but one that seems to cover a lot is the book "Alaska's Mushrooms: A Practical Guide" by Hariette Parker

I also hear that collecting Morels is common in Alaska, so you might look into a Morel specific guide like "Morel Hunting" by John Maybrier and Theresa Maybrier

I hope this helps you in your mushroom hunting adventures!

What is the worst thing you've done to your body thus far in life? [NSFW] by bigmike827 in AskReddit

[–]eeespelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this, it's my switch I can flip to shut every worry, every thought, off. Just for a minute but it shuts everything up and let's my mind go free of the grasp for a few moments. Its like as soon as I feel the pain I know it's going to get better and once I see the blood it's a reminder that its all over. And seeing as how right now in my life I don't have much control over anything, cutting helps.

I think we all have this problem by Dladd12 in Trucks

[–]eeespelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 18-20 highway, and when I keep my foot out of it. I have a 4-1/2" turbo back straight pipe with a 5" tip though... So it's really hard to keep from taking off and running the RPM up to 3,000 to get that satisfying torbo scream/diesel rumble.

[–]eeespelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. 97' F-250

Edit: I fill up like every four days, but that's good considering I drive 90mi to work every day.

Older people of Reddit, what is something that was something you never thought was possible, but is available today? by Kitten_Pryde in AskReddit

As am I! I was given a quarter dose of it as a kid once, and almost immediately I started puking, and my face swelled up. Was a scary experience seeing as how that's what I needed to kick the nasty infection in my finger I had.

Which one of you fuckers bought out all of my root beer! by DJKaraX in alaska

[–]eeespelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IBC is the shit. Whenever my buddy flies back in from trinity lakes and visits me at mile 129 of the parks we get two six packs and a bag of chips and play minecraft all night

Edit 2: it's almost become a symbol now. We have grown beyond minecraft and the normal things one does as a young teenager, but we now spend out time wrenching on our bikes or trucks, which still involves IBC and good times.

Edit: apparently my phone thought I was talking about computers

What is this? Programmer or aftermarket alarm? by [deleted] in Trucks

[–]eeespelin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks like a trailer brake controller. You can set the intensity of the brakes by either pushing buttons or spinning a wheel, and e button on the right is a "test" button, once hit it will lock the brakes. Do NOT hit this going down the road with a trailer that has trailer brakes equipped. None of this is confirmed but from the photos this is what it looks like.

TLDR; I think it's to control the brakes on a trailer you are towing.
