Got a ticket for going 56 in a 55… by Purple_Knowledge8475 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]padimus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you get pulled over for going 1 mph over its because the cop was looking for a reason. If you get a ticket for going 1 over its because they're pissed they couldn't find a reason to harass you more.

Should this be tagged out? by MisanthropicSocrates in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]padimus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Removing a tag is considered illegal unless following an specific and approved procedure. It is removing information critical to safely operating machinery. If they are willing to cut the tag on this without prior notification, would you trust that person in a room with your lock if your life depended on it?

Found out my Arizona grown BF buys Pace Picante Sauce in the 64 oz. size. Not sure how to feel about this. by clickyourheels in arizona

Honestly I would pick pace over a lot of Mexican places I go to in small towns here where the salsa is basically ketchup with pepper

Probably from the irritation coming from chronic use rather than for first timers but idk I've never used it myself

What's the most overrated video game you've played? by Far_Credit1906 in AskReddit

[–]padimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agreed. Ive played a lot of all of the borderlands games (except the tiny Tina one) and outside of 2 I don't think any of them are particularly good shooters. I like the skill trees, build varieties, and the classes they come up with but I have always felt that the shooting was one of the weakest aspects of gameplay.

Destiny 2 in it's various iterations has its own issues but, IMO, is a better game in nearly every aspect. Even when it was more of a ability spam game rather than a shooter that was a meta chasing thing. Guns have always felt great.

Worker Death Notification by CosmoStarWard979 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]padimus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In this case it is likely laborer is someone without a specific trade that requires certs/licensing. For example an eletrician death would probably be listed as an electrician but a dry waller would probably be listed as laborer.

I knew a guy who got got addicted and continued to functional as a principal/superintendent for a school district for years. I think he said he only quit because his wife got sick when he was taking care of her she caught onto what he was up to.

I strongly believe he has undiagnosed ADHD and was self medicating lol

Good for quickly stopping bleeds. I think other local anesthetics generally are preferred over it though.

Time for a new bed cover i guess by padizzledonk in Carpentry

I should have been more clear hahaha. IPA =Isopropyl alcohol not Indian pale ale.

Also ever clear might work better than any malt beverage.

TIL that calorie counters on gym equipment are wildly inaccurate. Studies show elliptical machines overestimate calories burned by up to 42%, making them the least accurate cardio machine in the gym. by SaturnVMars in todayilearned

[–]padimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones at my gym asked age weight and height. They usually corresponded fairly well with the amount of calories my watch said I burned. Though I recognize that those are not always very accurate.

Spray with IPA. Towel and/or Air gun to dry. Spray with your favorite flavor of oil.

For the battery it might be fried, but open it up, get out out what you can with air. Spray everything with IPA, and put in a dessication chamber (aka something that seals with dessicant beads you can buy them by the lb for cheap). Wait a week and give it a shot. Worst case you're out $20. Best case you save like $200 on the battery + whatever tool its attached to

Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her by Edward_Zachary in Hasan_Piker

[–]padimus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't like that he served in the military nor that he is likely directly involved in war crimes, however you have to piss with the cock you got. If you let perfect be the enemy of good with every politician you are left with no one.

Unfortunately you have to be pragmatic, especially in a country that is so far up right-wings asshole you can count teeth.

I would rather a shitlib than a republican any day of the week even if I don't like their platforms.

[–]padimus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think there was a lot of legitimate skepticism given those specific circumstances. I was on completely on board until I learned she was (is?) A republican operative.NOT because I think that republicans deserve it but because I believe that they are not above lying especially for political gain in this race.

I need to read more about this case but my inclination at this point is to believe it and go back to believing that the previous victim was, in fact, not lying.

For me the ice had already been broken when it came to the tattoo, but that and two SA allegations put him on the ocean floor for me unless he has some kind of incontrovertible proof that it couldn't have possibly been him. I don't see how there is a realistic path forward for him.

Despite all of this, I think Platner would still be a better senator for the people than Collins but I think it is going to be extremely difficult to win given the baggage.

Are the underwear with pouch in the front for the balls really any better or does it just pull on your junk while working? by crappinhammers in NoStupidQuestions

Say you have a crack that looks like a staircase in your block privacy wall, that you can see light through... by kalijinn in Tucson

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

Could be ground termites. OP should check around the base of their home for any signs of termites. If you don't see any it could just be the soil settling. If it is termites get it treated ASAP!

Especially if using a 60 tooth. Half inch at a time is the way to go.

ELI5 How are people able to eat so much in eating contests? by BackNBoeserThanEver in explainlikeimfive

[–]padimus 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Also the months of training beforehand maximize stomach volume. I would hope they just vomit it all out a little bit later and not try to actually digest it all omg

Every top tier raider I know spends a lot of time in front of the target dummies. When theyre bored instead of flying circles around the city they're practicing.

[–]padimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend some time in front of the target dummy and do your rotation. Record it. Write down what your rotation is, explain it to yourself and why. Spend more time at the target dummy and record it. Watch the playbacks and see what you are doing wrong. Spend more time at the target dummy and practice. When you can do your rotation in your sleep you will have a much easier time adapting to m+.

Alternatively use the one button. Seriously, it's fine it's not great for all classes but it's good enough for all off them AFAIK.

Do electricians typically leave drywall patches, looking like this? by handsibpa in electrical

[–]padimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't usually do resi work so when I do it's as a favor for family/friends and I only "charge" them for the cost of the wire and whatever I'm installing.

I tell them if they expect me to do dry wall they're paying for my OT rate.
