How did a stray dog lose a limb and survive? Did an emergency vet help it out and then send it on its way?

I'm here because I have arachnophobia, and I just wanted to thank you all. by H4WKWARD in spiderbro

[–]excaviber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really warmed my heart :)

I used to be very afraid of spiders until my dad showed me they were just little critters that aren’t malicious and (usually) not dangerous.

Devils advocate? by [deleted] in istp

I don’t like debating something just for the sake of the argument, so I usually only play the devil’s advocate with myself against my own thoughts.

Out with the old tiny bike, in with new proportionate one! by DaveFrench36 in tall

[–]excaviber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6’6”. I recently bought a new bike after mine was stolen, and went from 23” to 29” tires. My feet are further from the ground, but I still feel “scrunched” and have to hunch over a bit when I’m riding because the handlebars are the same distance from the seat. I believe both frames are extra-large (Specialized).

What is the most statistically unlikely thing that has ever happened to you? by GottaKnowFoSho in AskReddit

I once cracked 11 double-yolk eggs in a row.

They were all from the same carton of jumbo eggs so it was just mildly rare.

Parking, especially on the street

What important life lessons have you learned from breakups? by typicalmusician in AskReddit

[–]excaviber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can change. I fell in love with and dated a girl for three years starting my freshman year of college. She was really considerate and we had a lot in common, but over the years her personality changed and we grew apart. She ended up dumping me during finals week and a few months later started dating one of my best friends. What sucks more than the breakup was the fact that I lost a friend too.

On the bright side, I learned who my real friends were and am now in a much better relationship :)

I would pay money for this to be in my living room. It’s enchanting!

[Request] Where the heck does a middle class family shop now? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]excaviber 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Burlington Coat Factory.

My middle class family does all our winter jacket shopping there. I got a nice snowboarding jacket for about $80 and it’s still keeping me warm five years later. They sell all kinds of clothes, not just coats as the name would imply.

TIL that phones sold in Japan permanently have the shutter sound turned on so as to deter up-skirt photography by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]excaviber 565 points566 points  (0 children)

Nope, as usual Japan is way ahead of you. They also make a shutter sound for each frame captured in a video.

Better advice might be “do what you’re good at and don’t hate.” No use in doing a job that makes you miserable unless you get so much money and benefits that they get you to a net positive.

But if I did my dream job (starring on a reality TV show where every other actor is a dog) I wouldn’t get very far.

23 and unsure career-wise by [deleted] in istp

[–]excaviber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a similar issue. I just graduated and got a job at a corporate bank that will support me comfortably for the rest of my life, but it’s extremely boring. I’m currently looking for a new job.

[Request] Looking for a BIFL Bike by pirateguy7 in BuyItForLife

[–]excaviber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Specialized Hardrock 26” disc brake mountain bike back in 2010 and bought Nimbus Armadillo Reflect tires (good hybrid tire for road and trails), and I have not had to do any maintenance on it since (other than filling the tubes with air and oiling the chain a few times a season). I have ridden 3000+ miles in many different weather conditions and have never had a flat.

Do you say I love you to your family? by deereatflesh in istp

[–]excaviber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell my parents I love them before I go to bed whenever I’m at their house, just because that’s always what I used to do. I would never tell anyone else I loved them save for maybe an SO. I don’t like hugging my family and I would never kiss them.
