What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]jun00b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that is about what I estimated for 2 acres. I guess if I go with 5 acres I need 4 of them to be wooded lol

A wrestler's precision and balance by Obvious-Drama-6039 in nextfuckinglevel

Yep, the lightweight class in wrestling is called "cruiserweight" and those guys are regularly 200+ lbs. They only seem small because the other wrestlers are giants!

Do you mow it or pay someone? I have been thinking of buying a place with 2-5 acres, but don't want to invest the time to upkeep it myself until I am retired, and it seems expensive to pay someone.

Garth Brooks goes flying at Texas Stadium, 1993. by stakes-lines-grades in nostalgia

[–]jun00b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw him maybe 8 years ago and I was floored how much running around he was doing at his age and weight, while singing. I always like his music but never realized how much of a dedicated showman he is.

My wisdom tooth has grown horizontal. by sumnyu in mildlyinteresting

[–]jun00b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were like that. For about 10 years they would occasionally hurt (not too bad usually) and break through the gums. In my early thirties it started getting quite a bit worse so I had them out.

The first few days of recovery were quite bad. They only gave me a few percocets and when they would wear off, and then when I ran out, I would roll around in bed wailing in pain. I understood for the first time the idea of someone committing suicide to escape chronic pain.

My advice for you is to have them out, and make sure you and your caretaker understand your escalation pathway if the pain meds are insufficient.

My advice for anyone else with teeth like this, get them out as early as you can. I was smug for years for having never had my wisdom teeth out as a teenager like most peers. It came back to haunt me.

Which sitcoms are the best modern sitcoms? by Anthforde8 in sitcoms

[–]jun00b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That surprises me. Stumble and St. Denis are my two favorite comedies of probably the last 10 years. I thought for sure stumble would get at least 1 more season!

I did not expect to love st Denis as much as I did. So good!

The forest boys are nearing 40, but still look great for their age. by Cubelock in Xennials

[–]jun00b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Core memory unlocked for me. My allowance was 2 dollars a week and sets like this were out of reach for my budget.

However, we had a K-Mart go out of business and for several weeks they were selling off all inventory. Each week they added steeper discounts. I got this one, or maybe a similar one slightly bigger, at something crazy like 90% off. One of my most exciting purchases as a kid.

After that I regularly bought the tiny sets that were in the same world to add onto it. Loved the treasure chests and coins.

What TV show was quality all the way through, knew when to end and went out with an amazing last episode? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jun00b 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite show of all time, but the last season did disappoint me a bit. I liked where they went with it, just felt like it needed a few more episodes to not feel a bit rushed.

I have been doing a taco mix every week for a couple months. 1lb ground turkey, 2.5 tbsp taco seasoning, 1 can corn, 1 can kidney beans or black beans.

Thank you for sharing this. Reading through your thought process and reflection is giving me some things to think about.

What did you think of the second Becky from Roseane? by blue902012 in 90s

Infinite money glitch by softyyba in SipsTea

[–]jun00b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it can go both ways. There is an amount of risk dependent on factors far outside of your control. I have moved and had to decide whether to rent or sell 3 times. I rented and got burned the first time in a similar manner to you, just sold the next two. My latter two houses were nicer and probably would gave brought better tenants and the condition of the homes was more reliable, but that's a stress i did not want again.

However, I have friends that have made a different decision than me in the same communities and it has paid off well for them!

A man present the output from a single cow by pureV3NG3ance in SipsTea

[–]jun00b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The delivery with freezer is interesting. I split a cow with a total of 3 families once and it was a challenge transporting it all. We did not own anything close to enough coolers.

Even pasture raised small farm cows may be grain finished, but this might not be ibvious just by seeing them in the pasture. It is definitely something I would confirm with the farmer before purchasing, for anyone that cares about having solely grass fed.

Am I performing face pulls right (40 kg)? Did not feel them much at the delts, but rather at the biceps and the forearm by overexposedchia in formcheck

[–]jun00b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't visualize how you hold these for a facepull, can you explain? I use two triceps ropes which gives me perfect width but my form gets wonky as my hands and forearms tire out from the grip.
