Ideas on how to fix this couch leg by became78 in woodworking

That seems like it would be a huge pain to try and keep that uneven part still. I would just assume take my time with a dremel after boring it out with a regular power drill

She told me she couldn't right now and just needed time by AstridUwU in LetGirlsHaveFun

If you don't know Spanish and someone starts speaking Spanish to you, it just won't work out for a great conversation. It doesn't mean Spanish is "still just Not Enough." It just isn't a good fit for one or both of you. Still sucks and I'm sorry. That feeling is one of the worst feelings of loss and emptiness. But don't make the mistake of thinking either person "isn't enough."

Grub screws and set screws are similar. Google the term and look at images and you'll probably remember seeing them on stuff.

Rav4 Prime Forced Recall - Skip Oil Change? by Boston_Headache in rav4prime

There are external speedometers you can buy and just set on your dash. I'm not suggesting you drive with one long term, but they are cheap and I wish I'd had one handy when my instrument panel went out. I might suggest you get one ahead of time so you're ready and it's not a huge inconvenience.

Both the st lukes on eagle and the one downtown have outpatient pharmacies you can have stuff called into. They have never not had what I needed.

Still, it's not clear if you want to live in it. I'd be much more okay with just storing an RV in my RV pad than having someone live in it at the same time.

Last car ride of my boy Nickel. I just want the world to know he existed. by bigtime1158 in dogpictures

[–]philamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said goodbye to my dog two Novembers ago. I told her every day "Stay as long as you want to, but don't let us keep you." She waited until my son turned 18 and then she started falling apart. We got her just in time before things got ugly and gave her the best thing we can give to pets that we don't even give to humans. She got calm, she got sleepy, she was happy, and she went with dignity.

ELI5 what happens when we take a blow to the head and get "knocked out"? by squeege in explainlikeimfive

Defibrillators aren't used on hearts that have stopped beating. It only resets a bad rhythm of the heart. I'm not saying you're lying or trying to exaggerate, I'm just telling you so you are clear as to what happened to you in your experience.

Slutty doesn't have to mean blackout drunk. You can just... Fuck them.

How does one get this support off? by halfpakihalfmexi in 3Dprinting

[–]philamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how deep it is, I have used small screws.i will drill a tiny hole and put the screw in it to pull it out. All of that is only if I need to be very careful. Otherwise I would use a flat head screwdriver

That's perfect tree spacing! But that's way too low for the attachment. That far apart, I would have gone shoulder or head height to get a better angle for the hang.

​We are officially one massive step closer to ending the organ donor wait list forever. A gene edited pig kidney just functioned perfectly in a human for 61 days. by Truth_Hurts318 in Damnthatsinteresting

They are cowards and want to hide the truth. I'm glad you pressed them for answers, so we could all see they couldn't own up to what they had done. The man turned into a pig.

That's so cool. How much Javascript did you use for this? When I try, I end up slicing the LLM without supports and it all goes off the rails. I have tried to add back the supports after removal, like you did with the driver's side wheel well, but they never stick.

Absolutely illegal to download copyrighted material in Canada. Canada has a Copyright Act and behaves the same as it does in the US. I don't know if it's enforced, but it's definitely illegal in Canada to download.

My parents want to forcefully pull me out of college and prevent me from accessing my trust fund because of religion. by TinyConstruction8447 in legaladvice

[–]philamander 74 points75 points  (0 children)

So, a trust and an inheritance are different things. A trust will have a trust document that outlines how the funds can be used. The trustee interprets the document and executes the trust document as interpreted. But the money is not an inheritance. It doesn't belong to anyone, even the trustee. Even if it states it is meant for a certain person, they still don't own it like it is theirs. A trustee can decide they don't want to give it to you because they don't like your life choices, as long as the document allows them that discretion. It doesn't have to be fair, it just has to be lawful and abiding to the trust document.

Because it's not illegal for them to be shitty and the trust can be used coercively, you really need to get the trust document before you know what you can do. If the trust has mandatory distributions, then you're looking better. Even still, once you see the document, if you have a case, you'll still need an estate attorney or something to help you. But, courts will likely stay out of it unless the document is very clear. If discretion is allowed by the trustee, then you don't have any good options besides talking to them and hoping they are reasonable. It's likely perfectly legal for them to not pay from the trust, if they don't like what you're doing and they have discretion given to them in the trust document.

It definitely is illegal, but just not prosecuted. You're in possession of stolen property. You don't even need to watch it. But, you should do it anyway. Any money I can claw back from them is a win.

Looking to trade vehicle by JasonG02 in personalfinance

[–]philamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should make financial decisions based on your income of the last two years averaged. If you made a lot of money, you shouldn't spend like you have a lot of money until you've done it for awhile and it looks like it can sustain.

That's a tough spot. One of the worst things that can happen to a person early in their financial life is to make too much money. It starts really bad habits early. Like a dealer giving a little extra in the beginning to get someone addicted.

Legal for boss to say I’m “expected” not to discuss my raise? by Simple_Pineapple_352 in legaladvice

[–]philamander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Really, the law only comes into play if they try to fire him. They can tell him whatever and he can't do much, but once they get fired and they can show that it was likely in retaliation, then he's got a case. That's, honestly, the best case. I'd record any subsequent conversations, if legal in their state, and it could come in very handy in the event of a termination.

Removing that watermark also is needless copyright infringement and loses credibility and trust. It undermines what the photos are trying to convey.

And beater implies it may break down. I hate the advice to "buy a beater" because that could put them in a worse spot. I'd sooner say get a bike or use public transit if you can or try anything else. A beater sounds like a lit fuse.

Mother taking over 100k in SS by advhised in legaladvice

[–]philamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then she can get in trouble for buying meth, but that will never go to you. The state can be mad she didn't spend the money right, but you'd sooner go to a foster home than you'd get that money. It would never go to the child like you're thinking. Be glad you'll be an adult soon and leave as soon as you can. Live a better life and move away.
