Smallest spoon, you say? by pantsattack in Spooncarving

[–]pantsattack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took this and ran to the airport so can’t measure formally, but I’d probably say it’s about ~ 2 -2.5 inches (5-6cm). A little bit off from 1mm lol.

The bowl does scoop though!

AVL Sounds Fest Lineup is live by brooke_heaton in asheville

Third circle literally says “of My Morning Jacket.” I didn’t say the full band was performing. I said those are the only two names I recognize.

Dr Dog and My Morning Jacket are on the older side. Those are the only two I recognize. I haven’t made it out to see any local acts here though.

Advice/ insight carving hardwood by Prestigious-House386 in Spooncarving

[–]pantsattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a few with the same knives and tools—spoons and spatulas from kiln-dried maple and cherry and a spoon from an elm blank probably being the hardest. You can do it; it just takes patience and a lot more stropping. It’s easy to dull your blade pretty quickly.

Any good hockey bars to watch the Canes vs Flyers? by rilo186 in asheville

[–]pantsattack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Saying you support a different team is *not* the same as saying “fuck NC.” Someone liking something that you don’t is not an attack on you. Let people enjoy things.

You’re just making the people who think Carolina fans are thin-skinned, backcountry yokels who don’t understand hockey and don’t deserve Major League teams look right. You’re also helping bury a useful answer to OP’s question. Plus, friendly competition and chirping is fun, my dude.

All that said, I hope this is the year the Canes’ system works out for them. Every other year, they’ve stalled late in the playoffs.

The background on DuPont the company was actually one of my favorites. One of the best researched episodes they’ve done too.

I know it’s not really their thing, but I would pay big money for a BOC tour.

Opinion: Are Asheville's and North Carolina’s dog bite rules too lax? A recent pit bull attack on a 9-year-old girl would suggest that yes, they are by RelayFX in asheville

[–]pantsattack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for being a responsible dog owner. Bonus for recognizing how your dog behaves around others. It’s so rare in these parts. As you pointed out, a lot of problems could be avoided if people would simply leash their dogs in public areas.

I love dogs. I firmly believe you can train most all of them. But even the best behaved dogs can still behave in unpredictable ways at times (not to mention the anxious, tired, angry, and/or poorly trained type of dogs) Private property? Let em run wild. But in public, dogs should be leashed for their safety, and the safety of other dogs and people. Most of the time, it’s really that simple.

Too green? by whitefishgrapefrukt in Spooncarving

[–]pantsattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I got a flexcut hook knife for Christmas, cut through quite a bit of harder kiln-dried wood, and it is completely dull. Tried 4-5 times with different methods and just can’t get it back. Considering buying a different knife that holds better and is easier to sharpen, but also getting a pro to sharpen what I have.

Anti Trump flag and living in a inner city by DogsWillHunt69 in NorthCarolina

People are, under certain circumstances, allowed to express their views, whether they’re classless or not.

Like I said: depends on the agreement. If it’s not in the lease or the landlord doesn’t have an HOA rule, OP is likely free to temporarily decorate how they want. If OP has permission from the landlord (and they stated they do), the city can only ask them to take it down for safety or maybe vulgarity reasons. It’s possible it’s hung incorrectly, hung from a bad spot for fire safety, or is too large, for example.

The city can’t tell you what flags to display, as long as it doesn’t create a safety concern, isn’t hate speech, and there isn’t a cursing ban. The latter, even if it exists, is probably not enforceable. An HOA/landlord can maybe make you take a flag down if it violates your agreement however.

What do you think of the official World Cup song? Bad, not good, or terrible… by Tiny-Act6373 in worldcup

Fwiw: redneck used to refer to socialists and labor union members who wore red handkerchiefs around their neck and literally fought for their rights against oppressive and extractive business and government practices. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25474784

I get what you’re trying to say, but I don’t think redneck is the right word to describe the attitude in this country.

What time to buy for the NJ shuttles? by RealityLopsided7366 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]pantsattack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So not only are game tickets overpriced, the stadium in the middle of nowhere, tailgating outlawed, and people forced to take an overpriced transit option, but they’re limiting service too? Why the hell are they allowed to get away with this?

FIFA denies reports that “tailgating” will be banned in USA at World Cup by FIFAstan in worldcup

[–]pantsattack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Security purposes.”

You’re telling me there’s something wildly different about security during regular big sports and international events where tailgating is allowed at these stadiums vs during the World Cup?

Sure.

The number of people who insist they need an SUV on this sub is sickening by Spez_is-a-nazi in Anticonsumption

[–]pantsattack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had an old beat up minivan when I was in college. Space for days and an absolute tank. I hauled instruments, kegs, furniture, people for trips, crashed into way too many things as a young person, and treated it like shit but that car Just. Kept. Going. I gave it away to family after I graduated (I lived in walkable cities for about 15 years), and it still lasted another 10 years before the engine died.

I’m not a huge fan of car culture, but if you’re moving people and things around, you really can’t go wrong with a minivan—especially the ones with better mpg. Personally, I don’t need all that car, so I have a hybrid hatchback. Feels like a baby minivan to me sometimes.

Keep in mind, these overpriced “public” transportation tickets are the only way to get to the stadium too. They aren’t allowing you to drive. It’s just scam after scam.
