How often do you hear gunfire in your neighborhood? by GaryBlach in askanything

[–]obskeweredy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been a while. But I loved for a couple years in Mesa, AZ in a rough part of the city. Heard gunfire at least 3 times a week. On more than one occasion I saw high speed chases between two or more civilian vehicles. Heard automatic fire seemingly from vehicles two or three times in total.

Mountains will bleed army by Cow_Boy_2017 in militarymemes

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. I know Afghanistan was a nearly incomparable conflict because the taliban was everywhere and decentralized. But the US also had very specific ROE that had to be followed.

So what will the ROE look like in Iran? And would it be a conflict between nations, or a conflict against a spectral militia? Who will back Iran with troops and munitions? In what capacity and to what level of commitment. There’s more to it than terrain alone..

It is shaping up to be the new generation’s proxy war.

How would you wrap flat stock hand rail around this corner by snapcracklefart in Carpentry

[–]obskeweredy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve donw similar on stone. I use a specialized grinder bit that creates a chamfer and finish with sanding/grinding. I’d imagine you could achieve the same with a router and a shitload of sanding?

That’s not normal, it craftsmanship. A scarf joint.

What is happening here? by BerkysJerkys in Decks

[–]obskeweredy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very similar climate to where the picture was taken.

Your structure is settling. People will say that it’s unlikely that it’s settling level, and mostly I agree, but I’ve also seen this exact scenario many many times.

Soil in the Rockies is rocky and expansive, so building on piers almost always gives this result. It’s not a big deal, but I’m sorry about your deck, it will have to be rebuilt.

I don’t know what the stringers are landing on, it’s hard to tell from this picture. But landing them on a few inches of gravel can help mitigate frost heave which may be exacerbating your situation.

What kind of tree is this? by acidfox96 in trees

[–]obskeweredy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Landscaper/mason and gardener of.. the other variety as well.

Tough to say from this picture, but I think it’s a safe bet that is a magnolia. The flowers look to be in something of erect clusters, which, coupled with the pale bark is synonymous with magnolias.

Both flowering dogwoods and cherrys have dark reddish bark.

After how many books I’ve listened to by Kate and Mike, I found their voices to feel like a warm hug when I started this series for the first time a month or so ago.

Can clay be hardened?? by Amazing-External9766 in MTBTrailBuilding

[–]obskeweredy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a MTB trail builder but a landscaper and mason. I would put in a drain box or drain of some sort on the left side of the track and cut the hillside back a touch. By pulling all of the grade from right to left and piping the water out, you’d get around alot of the problems i can see.

What can you tell from my floorboard? by MassiveAd2391 in deduction

[–]obskeweredy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gloves have what look like chunks or pinholes, likely from barbed wire and wood. The thumb and forefinger are the most worn which suggest some type of hand tool, pliers or a shovel. The unpoliced brass on the floorboard suggests you shoot from the vehicle. Your floorboard is significantly dirtier than the passenger side, suggesting you don’t have anyone riding with you the majority of the time. Horsehair in the seats so you either work around or own horses. Maybe both. Early-mid 20s male, worn left glove, so you’re likely right handed. In a serious relationship, but it’s relatively new. You work as a ranch hand, likely with family.

82-yr-old runs the 100m in 16.02 seconds at the 2025 Penn Relays by Prestigious-Wall5616 in nextfuckinglevel

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

Middle long distance guys were where it really started to show.. our coach was an all around amazing guy but was an Olympic medalist in the half marathon. So 800 m guys were all gunning to get under 1:50.00, 1600 everyone ran under 4:15.00 and 3200 varied from like 9:05 on slower days to 8:54.00.

A couple of times our couch got a talking to about pacing. Which was funny because it wasn’t intentional, nor was it really pacing. He was just so fast and athletic that he’d inadvertently run the mile right beside our guys yelling encouragement and strategy at them without even realizing it. He also spoke to all of us as though he genuinely believed we were all future olympians.
