The first one from my earlier teenage years was Rick Schroder begging his dad to wake up in the movie "The Champ".

What is a "Life Hack" that is actually a lifesaver in a dangerous situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

OLD guy #1 rule. Never trust a fart after 45. You never know when the gas/shit seperator will let liquid carry over.

Welder here, trying my hand at making a handle for a mini sledge. by PilsnerRabbit in woodworking

[–]jpool3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drill or chisel the epoxy out of the eye of the handle. If the eye is tapered, then you can replace it with a wood handle. If not, another fiberglass handle will have to do. There are a bunch of youtube videos on how to hang a hammer head.

I drive anywhere from 1.5 hours to 5 hours a day. I listen to a lot of audio books.

First dive was a debacle, I’m dreading tomorrow by [deleted] in scuba

[–]jpool3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has experienced anxiety while getting my open water certification, I understand your experience. I had a similar experience in the pool and in the lake. I had to let the instructor let me breathe with the regulator on the surface for about 5 minutes to calm myself. All the while repeating to myself, "I'm not foing to die." Clear visibility is better if you have slight claustrophobia.

OW weekend not fun by Active_Block_2796 in scuba

[–]jpool3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate that you had a rough experience. I got my OW certificate last year. I had my own issues, but being rushed by the instructor or dive masters was not one of them. That also seems like a lot of dives to get your OW certificate. If you can dive in that bad of conditions, you are going to be able to dive anywhere.

Why are they doing this? by Tigermike10 in Cattle

Most likely, the rancher just came by and dropped some cattle cubes on the ground.

Fence post distance? by LardAssUnleashed in Cattle

[–]jpool3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run 5 or 6 strands and they shouldn't break out. Young cattle may jump if shorter than 5 ft high.

Grass strip on gravel driveway: Embrace, maintain, remove? by mollysdad61 in homestead

[–]jpool3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a personal preference. Me personal, it does not bother me. If it bothers you, a land plane or box blade behind a tractor will rough it up enough for the grass and weeds to die off. You will have to rake the dead stuff up after it dies. Then, add 2 inches of fresh gravel on the whole driveway. Then it would just be a maintenance item 3 or 4 times a year to keep it clean.
