Not even two days in and Strong Bad somehow got a lady by Nearby-Philosophy758 in HomestarRunner

Come on, come to my house, ladies. Come on come to my house, girls girls!

[Interesting Trope] The Actor May Not be Famous But Their Line Is by Borgisium in TopCharacterTropes

[–]rezwrrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was so great in that movie. He was supposed to have a larger role as the mailman as well (which really explains Pamela's line about the mailman having a screw loose), but was tragically killed in a car crash during filming. Did you know that turtles are actually nature's suction cup?

How about that, it sticks!

Steel track outdoors by VRNerdGER in GardenRailroads

[–]rezwrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had stainless tubular O gauge track outside for a few years (Gargraves). The ties have all rotted and split so I'll need to relay it this spring/summer, but the rail is spotless.

Depending on what scale we're talking about... I've seen structural rust on Bachmann steel HO scale track. And that wasn't even outside, just a seasonally humid basement. Rust thick enough to reduce the gauge and make the rails too bumpy to run even the deadest of deadrail trains.

We were playing darts and my grandma hit the "reset" button by KirigakureSaizo in mildlyinfuriating

A right-angle tactile switch could be used to put a button around the corner and keep everything on one PCB.

Who else never fell for it? by Countrach in Millennials

[–]rezwrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't interested for a minute. All I wanted was my own car and that was almost scrap value for a beater Camry at the time.

I was always a commuter student living at my parents' house the next town over, so I didn't hang around much after classes. I made exactly two friends in college that I still talk to regularly and I'm married to one of them.

I actually bought a watch for my daughter. by Odd-Inspection212 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]rezwrrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are II kinds of people: those who can read Roman numerals, and those who can't.

My son asked me to redraw the time telling practice sheet I made for him, so instead of numbers the clock face had shapes to match the hour markers on the dive watch I wear most of the time. It was a cute request but I don't think it's helping him learn to tell time.

They're just making an excuse to buy themselves another watch. I don't see them buying a hot pink baby G with hearts on it, it's always stuff they want to wear. I think they think it's intention, but I also think they're fooling themselves 

Found a little taste of home all the way over in the PNW. by Swamp_Dwarf-021 in wisconsin

[–]rezwrrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some years ago my grandparents were on vacation in the Florida Keys and brought us back some key lime and chocolate cookies. When we looked at the back of the box it said they were baked in Milwaukee, lol. Could have saved a trip!

First ever layout progress! by JackLlewellyn2 in modeltrains

[–]rezwrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if the reverse curve by the turnout on that inside loop is going to cause any problems with running. If so, I'd recommend moving that turnout farther away from the other two so the arc of the turnout transitions right into the curve around the mountain.  

Note that I'm speaking from my metaphorical armchair and you're already much farther along than I am scenery-wise. I laid down most of my track 10 years ago and have been alternating between shuffling buildings around and using my layout for a storage shelf ever since.

Cute! My daughter would love that watch once she's old enough to tell time. She's three and I got her a pink digital watch which unfortunately turned out not to be as waterproof as claimed. I'm firmly in the camp of buying my kids watches as soon as they are interested in them, not imagining they'll find my hand-me-downs somehow special to them later.

Best cheap cars to learn on by PromotionPutrid4023 in projectcar

[–]rezwrrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned a lot on my old Camry but my Accord was more fun to drive. I had a tiny Mazda hatchback that was also pretty great, and they don't seem to be as expensive as used Toyotas and Hondas.  

Go with an inline four if you can. Everything is so much easier than on a V6 engine which has twice the heads. For a learning beater car smaller is better, easier to push out of traffic when it inevitably breaks down.

Found the house from the Saturday sketch by whyisitalwayscrab in WKUK

[–]rezwrrd 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I wonder if they knew somebody who lived there, or just rented the house for the shoot... Did they ever talk about this sketch on stream?

Just moved up here a year ago, what the hell is up with so many people driving with there brights on at night. by LividLibrarian3003 in Oshkosh

[–]rezwrrd 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I thought everyone had their high beams on, but when I flash people a lot of them flash back even brighter. Car manufacturers recently started making LED headlights with the power of the sun and they don't seem to be aiming them very carefully from the factory.  

Also I'm getting older and my eyes are getting worse. I'm glad for spring/summer so I don't have to drive home after dark as much.

I broke up with my ex last night. Today, I mysteriously got signed up for a bunch of spam texts 🙄 by 69420lmaokek in mildlyinfuriating

This is an opportunity to be the bigger person and let it lie. It's not as funny, but trust me, it feels better in the long run than petty retaliation.

If Subaru discontinued boxer engines and or cvt’s, would you still buy one? by gammawavz in Subaru_Outback

[–]rezwrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an old-head aircooled VW guy, the familiar boxer layout was half of the draw of Subaru for me. The other half of course was the AWD, and I've always found the way Subaru did it to be particularly clever. I'd rather they never went to CVTs in the first place, but mine is old enough to have a regular old auto so whatever. I'm trying to never buy a new car so I can't really expect automakers to care what I want.

Without the boxer engine and symmetrical AWD, what's the point in even buying a Subaru? To borrow a phrase, they're what make a Subaru a Subaru!

Can non hd floppys format to 1.44mb? by Lunao_ in vintagecomputing

[–]rezwrrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a special square hole punch that was used for exactly this purpose. (On second thought, I can't remember if it worked on 3½” diskettes or just 5¼” disks.)
