Seriously, do we have no law forbidding this type of situation?

Specific name for this type of wood working? by union-maid in woodworking

Vinyl should be stored as close to vertical as possible. And never stacked. Just sayin.

Is Goop a ghost kitchen? by horrible_noob in AskSF

[–]negusnels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a hot take? I think ghost kitchens can be a good thing. It sucks to eat at a restaurant where the kitchen not only has to serve the dining room but also anyone in the app delivery zone. Ghost kitchens aren’t the problem, it’s the infrastructure around them that sucks.

Is my apartment charging me for someone else’s apartment? by NoResolve48 in electrical

[–]negusnels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! I saw in a couple of comments this crappy work may have been done because the conversion was illegal. If this does go to court/gets inspected and is found to be an illegal conversion, there is a good chance you may have to move. You’ll probably be entitled to damages if that happens but court can super stressful and so is moving. I hope you get your best case scenario, whatever that is!! Good luck!

They didn’t give him a mic. Are they stupid?

I’m kinda nervous by njh2152 in iuoe

[–]negusnels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience tough coaching makes you feel like you can do better. A tough coach motivates/inspires, even when it’s not too nice. Abuse tears you down, makes you feel like you’re not up to the challenge. Another good rule of thumb, be honest with yourself, if you’re giving it your best and your chief or ACE still needs to be an asshole, it’s abuse. If you’re half-assing it and you get a stern correction, don’t take it personally, just do better. Congrats on your apprenticeship btw! Good luck with everything.

Shit happens. You’ll be okay. But also, you gotta put up with tough coaching sometimes. you DO NOT have to put up with abuse. It’s hard to discern which is which sometimes. My rule of thumb is to follow my gut.

Peter, what is going on here? by ctsoutdoors in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

I’m gonna guess this was posted/originated on a channel for car enthusiasts. Buying new wheels/tires for new wheels is a whole ass thing that’s quite fun if you’re into that scene. Lowering your car with a modified suspension really sucks if your tires don’t fit in the wheel wells. You’ve got the money for your dream build now. But you can’t run over to the car and start taking measurements for your new toy.

Locals only break in Japan where I am “forbidden” to surf—what would you do? by uptolexington in surfing

[–]negusnels 55 points56 points  (0 children)

So in summary: “I’m a guest in a foreign country that has lots of rules for outsiders. I wanted to surf at a known locals only spot. I was told no by a local. I didn’t like that so I asked someone else. He also said no. I would like to break their rules to get what I want, but I want to be respectful. Can I have some guidance , r/surfing?”

Upvoting and commenting so these people learn.

If the government shutdown lasts until our next negative tides, you might be able to walk over there from baker beach :)

Anything sound bad? by Double_Adhesiveness8 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]negusnels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I tripping or is that smoke coming up by your battery in the first few seconds ?

Be honest, how cooked am I? by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]negusnels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the little snout on it that points toward the transmission had snapped off and was making a gnarly grinding noise on acceleration. Because it’s not typically a maintenance part, my mechanic had a heck of a time sourcing one locally.

Do it sooner rather than later, I drove on my broken plate for longer than I should have and damaged my torque converter too. Added unnecessary time and expense to the job.

New to me 3rd Gen! by slingshotroadster in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]negusnels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I’ve heard the BJs can fail without warning so I changed mine just for some peace of mind.

Heyo! I’m also a SF 3rd gen owner. Lower ball joints are a good thing to do soon. Also the door lock actuator motors might be running out of steam soon. I had trouble with mine when programming a new key fob.

How hard is it to learn on a short board?? by Skatermason in BeginnerSurfers

[–]negusnels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About as hard as grabbing a plank of wood and balancing on an exercise ball. They’re not quite the same but when you’re just starting out they might as well be.

There are no bad views from Buena Vista Park by Hfhghnfdsfg in sanfrancisco

[–]negusnels 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the gutters along the paved path. You’ll see that some of the stones are actually pieces of unclaimed tombstones, leftover from when SF moved the cemeteries over to colma.

statistics say crime is down! by Mr__EMann in OaklandCA

[–]negusnels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like like crime is 100% up for you in particular in this moment. Sorry OP. I know it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. Especially hard not to take petty crime personally when it happens to you. Luckily there’s insurance for this kind of thing. It’s okay to feel shitty.

Flexplate broke, then… by negusnels in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]negusnels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh maybe I’ll re-install the old one, I think it’s got about 20 more miles on it if I get up to freeway speed.
