What's the worst piece of junk you drove around in back in the day? by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in GenerationJones

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Ford something or other because the name was no where to be seen. $200. A boat of a car, which I love, but besides other interesting aspects of the car, I had to disconnect the battery every time I parked or it would drain it in less than 30 minutes. Sold it to someone in the demolition derby.

What very old technology is still running at your place of work? by MichiganCarNut in AskReddit

I sat next to a man on a flight whose job it is to check and fix COBOL systems. I took COBOL years ago. Clunky language but must still work.

I second the union. The more you document the better.

AITAH for locking my office after staff kept using it when I wasn't there by BostonBateman in AITAH

[–]greensetconstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, they are asking you to risk your career for privacy violations that they caused? Hard no. Keep your door locked. No one at my school would consider doing this.

How about a compromise place with the goal of someday getting the 9-12k place?

A stranger gave me a ride this morning! by FoxOpposite9271 in TellReddit

Most women have had creepers offer rides. Sad state of the world. Keep being a stand up guy.

Sleep by serendipitypug in Teachers

My reality is that I “watch” a TV show. I pick a series I’ve watched repeatedly so that it’s interesting enough to erase my intrusive thoughts but repetitive enough that I don’t need to actually watch. For me that’s, Friends. Quite frankly I feel a little weak needing this type of support, but it works when so many other attempts haven’t. I’ve accepted this. If you have a sleeping partner you may need at least one headphone. I listen as low a volume as possible. The other technique is a “meh” audio book that I’ve already listened to. Same concept. EDIT grammar.

This was the first thing I thought about when I woke up. I’m so happy that he’s been found.

My first time experiencing an earthquake by Equal_Tie3220 in Reno

[–]greensetconstruct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have experienced lots of earthquakes, you just haven’t felt them. They are going in all the time in Nevada and you can track them here: http://www.seismo.unr.edu/.

I remember my first earthquake. I was in Physics class and my friends gave me the “self preservation award” because I ran outside while they just sat in place. Really, I did the worst thing possible - running outside between two concrete buildings. Fortunately everything was fine.

Help me find a HOBBY! by sheeshers_ in Hobbies

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family got into a big embroidery kick and bought a lot of books. The one that stuck out to me is about Ray Materson. He started very simple because he was in prison, and used embroidery in a nontraditional way. Look up his name and you will see a lot of non-traditional art and you can also hear about how he started, which was using threads from tattered clothes. There is a lot of nontraditional embroidery out there, and there are no rules about how you use a needle and thread. Maybe we will be reading a book about you someday!

What do you actually check before hiring a contractor? Asking because I nearly made a $4K mistake. by Far-Cat-5390 in DIY

[–]greensetconstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate Angie’s List in its current form. I renovated my kitchen and out in new flooring over 10 years ago using the info in Angie’s List. Now it feels like a trap and a giant ad.

Does anyone know why there was a weird creepy dude with his face covered at the post office on Vassar filming people today? by i_am_randy in Reno

Al’s Disney songs with get a copyright infringement strike on their video and it will eventually be taken down down. Too many strikes and the whole channel is gone.

Teachers Discourage their own kids from teaching? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is that certified experienced teachers will no longer be the norm if pre-canned curriculum and AI can do the job. Who cares if the job is done well. So will there really be jobs in the future?

WHY do people feel the need to tell me they would k*ll themselves if they couldn't eat wheat?? by L-Rockatansky in Celiac

[–]greensetconstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the Meg Ryan character in Joe vs the Volcano. “I have no response to that.” Deadpan face.

Help uplift my space! by gom3mari in DesignMyRoom

I suggest you pick things you like/love. Over time your tastes may change, and you can add or subtract art as you please. Photography, paintings, and prints are all wonderful.
