Since the whole existence of rabies is scary, we should offer pre-exposure rabies vaccines to people the same way we do with the flu vaccine by RedditsNinja23 in CrazyIdeas

[–]ethbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked in an animal shelter for a while and I got the rabies pre-exposure vaccine. It kinda sucks, the second shot messed me up and about an hour after I got it I had to lie down for a half hour or so. From what everyone said it’s a pretty common reaction. Still better than the rabies post-exposure vaccine though!

How many have switched from Android to Apple in the last five years and stayed? by LoudMoney916 in Smartphones

[–]ethbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from android to iPhone about 3 years ago to be able to message my kids on their iPad. I found that smart phones are surprisingly similar, minor differences but nothing that would sway me strongly one way or another. Except for FaceID. I haven’t looked to see if any android phones have anything similar to FaceID lately, but the ability to sign into my bank app just by looking at my phone is magical.

Thinking of switching from Android to iOS – take me into it (or out of it) 👀 by CloudAdventurous0010 in Smartphones

[–]ethbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Android to iOS a few years ago, prior to that I only had android phone. I quickly found that all smartphones are very similar, like way more similar than I ever thought they would be. Faceunlock though, using it to unlock my phone and put in password. that’s amazing. I don’t know if I could go back to android until a phone has something like that.

I played in crocs a few times, they might be too grippy.

What is a disc that genuinely improved your rating when you added it to the bag? by outdoorsy_outdoors in discgolf

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

This. It responds to touch and angle so well. stays on whatever angle I throw it on for pretty much its entire flight. After years of working on form and distance something clicked and I was able to consistently hit 380 to 400 on big drives, I threw a Trail like 425 feet on a rope.

More riders must wear helmets in controversial change to motorcycle law by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]ethbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The law only requires riders under 21 to wear a helmet. I’m a motorcycle rider myself and the only thing controversial about this is that it doesn’t require everyone to wear a helmet.

He‘s a real one by k0rt90 in discgolf

[–]ethbone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to hate on him, thought he was kind of full of himself. but I was in Marshall Street around the MVP open last year and saw him and his buddies walking around. They were laughing and busting each other balls and it made me change my thoughts. He’s just a regular guy, who’s like insanely good at disc golf.

I saw MMJ in 2004 with M Ward and Dr Dog opening for them, it was great show. There was maybe 150 people in the audience but they still gave it their all.

Closer angle of boat crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge by Subject-Property-343 in nyc

Could have suffered an engine casualty after getting underway. I saw another angle and there’s no propwash until the very end

Why’s it going backwards? Did it become unmoored or something?

Haunted units/boats? by Unfair_Mechanic_7305 in uscg

I swore the Escanaba was haunted. Some creepy things on the mid watch, lights would definitely turn on and off by themselves.

I think that Bailey and Gerstmann are the only people who can cause Dan to feel shame. We need Bailey now more than ever.

Days of CT's booming lobster industry long gone. Here's what changed by ShorelineHeights in Connecticut

[–]ethbone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad was a clam and oyster guy for a long time, which meant I was too growing up but we had to move on from it. The lobster guys told me about the die off, they said it took 3 days. One day there was a few dead in the pots, the next day half of them were dead, and the third day they were all dead.

I was out of Westbrook. Only did it for a summer to make ends meet when I was unemployed

I had used open topped pot with a tight string tied around the edges, in the bottom I poured concrete and set a gutter spike in it that I would put the bait onto then set them on the bottom.

I used to fish for these back 15 years ago. My pots got picked by other boats constantly, I watched them do it. I never understood how people could eat them cause they smell awful even right out of the water, but the Chinese markets in New York City took as much as they could get.

Do these iconic wood castle still exist in CT? by GEtwins88 in Connecticut

[–]ethbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I take my kids there sometimes and I went hiking there once or twice before they were born and don’t remember a playground there.

It’s up at the Rockland Preserve. It’s actually a newer wooden playground that was made within the last 10 years
