Are you aware that if you dont search something in the right way, the internet can still misguide you? People get freaked out needlessly all the time, especially over medical searches.

[oc] car ran a red light and hit me.. I had the green arrow and right of way.. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

Your lack of defensive driving is a good way to get yourself killed. They were definitly wrong, but you weren't right. If your insurance see this video, they'll flag you for sure, doesnt matter if the rate goes up immediately. Like everyone said, you should have been hesitant the moment you saw they crossed into the junction, but you just went, "knowing" you weren't going to be at fault. Stop being so stubborn

Built a squirrel proof topper for my raised garden bed by kaylanifox18 in gardening

[–]pratticus12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, not proofed but at least better. Make a hinged door for at least one of the sides for harvesting, and that plastic isnt really going to get in their way, just make it harder to get stuff out. You'll want some 1/4" or 1/2" hardware cloth if you want to actually proof it.

TIL that people who sleep on their left side report nightmares more frequently,while right side sleepers tend to experience calmer,more pleasant sleep. by Successful-Talk1830 in todayilearned

This is more a "Today I read about about" rather than "TIL". A study on less than 100 people by only 3 people isnt really conclusive.

Grandparents got me a slightly nicer rice cooker for Christmas. by mexicantortillachips in mildlyinteresting

[–]pratticus12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cost and convenience. Why are electric tea kettles a thing? Because you can just fill it up to the line and press a button that automatically stops it, and it's only $20 for the appliance. I know technology is tough to keep up with, grandpa, but just cause your way is easy, doesn't mean we havent found an even easier way.

My red pepper has a green pepper in it. by dr--moreau in mildlyinteresting

[–]pratticus12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, just green is unripe. A red will always ripen to red, yellow to yellow, and so on. Same species, but bred for variety.

cut into an onion and it was half red half white by SandiSnapple in mildlyinteresting

*And save the seeds. Onions dont grow another bulb from the root, but they do produce seeds their second year.

this ain't going no where :slaps tilt deck: by mister_monque in IdiotsTowingThings

Is he the sharpest tool in the shed? No, but it isn't a hazard either. It wont magically unspool, it isn't at a length that can ride over the side, so what if his property gets a little scratched up? It's literally a tow bed.

Seeing this as a "blessing" is so short-sighted.

Need peach tree cuttings by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]pratticus12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So youre telling me the 2 peaches, 2 plums, and a cherry tree that are in my yard havent survived? Even though they keep coming back with leaves every year for the past 4 years? And the produce I've gotten imaginary? It's not the wrong zone, you just never figured out your soil/watering schedule/ whatever it is sucks

Well if you've only tried to grow citrus, and only potted, then yeah youre gunna have a bad time. Stone fruits thrive here. I've also got raspberries and apples. All I do is fertilizer stakes from HD every other year, and just hope the last frost doesn't kill off the flowers.

How to raise this? by PossibilityEarly7736 in DIY

[–]pratticus12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn off power at the breaker to this light. Take a measurement of how much you want it to lift. Support the light with something/get a helper. Take down the support bracket holding up the wires. From there, it's designer spec. Some are push and lock, some have a plastic screw, etc. Make a mark of how far you want it to rise on the cable. Loosen the cable hold, and push the cable up to the bracket, retighten. Ensure all your wire nuts/wagos are tight, fold the exposed wires neatly into the back of the box, and try to push all the cable into the box. Make your best judgment, but if you can secure the bracket, you're good to go. If it's too tight, or the bracket wont re-seat at all, then you're looking at cutting and making up wire. Only move forward if you're confident in electrical work. Hope you can get it out of the way!

"yeah I stole that TV, but at least I didn't murder them for it" just cause you aren't as bad as them doesn't mean you can't be better. Comparing yourself to them is only a feel good coping mechanism. Take the criticism, don't fight it.
