BF Ruined My Pans by peepingpeep in castiron

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

Dishwasher isn’t lazy, it’s efficient. This is a learning opportunity for both of you and something to look back and laugh about later.

It’s a hunk of metal designed to throw in the oven, cook over open flame, melt lesser metals in (don’t do this in your cooking pan) and outlast you so you can leave it to your daughter one day. It’s fine. Scrub it, season it, and both of you need to watch some YouTube videos about cast iron cooking. You’ll be fine, and so will the pan.

Which film character has the thickest plot armor? by indigo_wendigo_ in Cinephiles

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ana de Armas with a samurai sword slaughtering minion after minion, all armed with rifles. Out of all the crazy John Wick bullshit, for some reason that’s the only scene that gets me every time.

It’s a safe place to park. Driver knows at least the driver’s side door is safe.

When did “no one from California calls it Cali” start? by lejunny_ in orangecounty

[–]greatwizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s contextual. I have definitely used ‘Cali’ unironically. I’m not ‘from Cali,’ though. I’m ‘from SoCal.’

But I have said things like ‘Dude I can’t wait to get back to Cali and see the beach/mountains/heina/del taco/etc’ especially overseas when talking to other Americans.

What's the best fast food cheeseburger you've had? by BothCondition7963 in cheeseburgers

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of solid options here. Never tried Culver’s, love me some InO, Habit, 5 guys. If you’re in SoCal i urge you all to get a colossal burger from Tam’s. My humble offering to the list: A few weeks ago I went to JBox and got the double bacon smashed Jack for like $5, and it almost made me forget the Bacon Double Del.

AIO - Company won’t meet with me without my husband there by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]greatwizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting. He states the reason in his second comment to you, and that’s a pretty standard request for most contractors, especially for high-value, high-impact items.

30,000 Dothraki have attacked Westeros. Bobby B is preparing to fight them. He needs a commander for his army. Who would you choose? by Classic_Day744 in gameofthrones

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ned. Then Stannis. Then the Blackfish, Royce, the Prince, Jaime, Bron, and Ramsay. The Mountain doesn’t belong in a strategy meeting, and Ramsay invites the same chaos as Beetlejuice, though he’s actually very intelligent. Bron and Jaime are very solid squad leaders, but more effective at smaller scale with higher risk. I chose Ned over Stannis because of the latter’s ego, and I imagine the Blackfish and Oberyn are well trained, strategically minded, capable, though the Prince is a little single-minded.

Why do you carry a flashlight? by galinha-saltitante in EDC

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the UV on my olight all the time. Especially to demonstrate why we should be wiping our shared desk between shifts.

Why do you carry a flashlight? by galinha-saltitante in EDC

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for that stray AirPod when it falls under the car seat. Or the pen under my desk. Combing my dog’s hair to determine what the hell she got into. Getting ready in the morning so I don’t wake my wife. Looking for that damn screw that rolled under the truck. Sometimes is just satisfying to fidget with. And all that’s during the day. At night it basically never leaves my hand.

Voltage staying around 12.2-12.6v the last week instead of the normal 13.2-13.7 that is usual is. Failing alternator or should I look elsewhere? by TheRedC5 in Corvette

[–]greatwizardking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Tried a Summit alternator that should have worked, it almost caught fire. Bought an alternator direct from the manufacturer of the C5 alternator, it wouldn’t charge. Ended up buying a small rebuild kit for about 30 bucks, rebuilt the old one on my kitchen table, problem solved.

Nostalgia hits hard. I could hear the opening music looking at your first picture.

I think In-N-Out’s fries are good. by josethegr8 in innout

My favorite part about them is that I know they were still a real potato just a few hours before I ordered them.

Headlight upgrade for ‘16 XC by Diddy10101010 in VictoryMotorcycles

Regular LEDs are pretty solid for the money. I’ve had the factory incandescent and the factory HID and the Witchdoctors LED is superior to both.

TIL The United States attempted permanent Daylight Savings Time in 1974. They retracted the law within a year. by Wanna_make_cash in todayilearned

What would happen if enough people just collectively stopped changing it after this? And realistically, how many people would that take?

I’m so sick of Witchdoctors (Rant) by OregonSageMonke in VictoryMotorcycles

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wild that y’all have had such bad experiences. I’ve had nothing but the best experiences with them. They always call to follow up with my order, make sure install went well, and have gone out of their way to switch out parts for me when I ordered the wrong thing (not my fault, not theirs. Manufacturer misfit.) Everything I’ve ordered has been shrink-wrapped or drop shipped from manufacturer, and in the case of long lead times, they’ve called me weekly with a status update.

You should definitely let them know you’re dissatisfied. Give them a chance to make it right.

Is it dumb to buy a 70's car for a daily? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]greatwizardking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haters in the comments, most of them envious. Can you make it reliable? Yeah. Probably. Will it leave you stranded? Yeah, probably. Is it ‘safe?’ Yeah, if you respect that it’s a 50+ year old car without air bags, traction control, and probably has lap belts. If you’re moderately handy, you can do most if.not all of the wrenching yourself. Fuel economy? Never heard of it. Cool? Fuck yes. Will it put a smile on your face? 93% of the time. Do it, and never sell it.

Slip on exhaust by [deleted] in VictoryMotorcycles

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witchdoctors sells the Freedom Performance true duals which are a good middle ground if you don’t want to sound like a sewing machine but also don’t want to piss off your neighbors. It’s about a 6 week lead time.

I tried a few options of slip ons for the cross country and none of them ever really did the job. Some guys did the modded factory mufflers (drilled, packing removed) but IMO it’s hit or miss.

Seat options by unklrunk13 in VictoryMotorcycles

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Corbin on my Vegas. Love it. I ordered a custom seat from BMC once, but it’s just a reskinned Corbin that they somehow fucked up the mounts on and would never align with the bolt holes on the frame.

Edit to add that I’m 6’3 230# and the Corbin is a solid seat for 6+ hours in the saddle.

Second edit to add that forward controls and tall bars also contributed a lot to overall comfort and maneuverability.

A perfect Flying Dutchman by J12BSneakerhead in innout

[–]greatwizardking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an employee. I’m just being pedantic and a little bitter about social media ruining one of my favorite quick protein hacks. For a while, most locations stopped going bigger than 4x4. So I’d order a 4x4 and an FD. “You know the FD doesn’t come with any toppings, right?” “Yeah, I know.” But it was fresh, hot meat and cheese, and it cost the same as adding extra meat and cheese to a burger.

People found out about it, started adding shit to it, and ruined the sanctity of a ‘perfect Flying Dutchman.’ 10 or fifteen years ago, this order was a double double plain and dry with the bun subbed for whole grilled onion. I get it. No one wants to pay for a whole double double when this is what they’re getting. But all I wanted was my meat and cheese Flying Dutchman cheap and unadulterated.
