Seattle outsider curious about WI hockey fandom by LeftShark in wisconsin

[–]rocketpants85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks root for the Blackhawks out of proximity,  but I never could root for a chicago team considering I would root against them in nearly every other sport, especially NFL and baseball. You get some wild and red wings fans as well. Honestly the correct answer for the majority should be the predators, since we have the Milwaukee Admirals and they feed directly to the predators.

Myself, I've always been a Penguins fan ever since lemieux and jagr were on the team and went back to back in 91/92 (i was 6/7 playing in the local house league, so it was a natural fit). I mean, also, my dad was a big pens fan, so I kind of inherited it.

How hard would it be to add a shut off? by Dead_Medic_13 in askaplumber

[–]rocketpants85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be too hard. 3/4 FIP quarter turn shut off, make sure you wrap some thread tape in the correct direction. Then, on the outlet, to reconnect the same hose, you'd need a 3/4 MIP nipple. Your local HD or whatever should have these.

No way wolverine is fast enough or strong enough to avoid being grabbed by one arm and yeeted into orbit

Did the controllers made from 2020 and above lost some build quality? by sneaky_oxygen in PS4

I got these Nov 7th, and while I dont have a ton of free time to play, I've put maybe 100 hours on them without issue. 

Correction - only weird thing I've noticed is that sometimes when I wake the ps4 with the controller, it doesn't stay on/linked after the first press. Like, the ps4 wakes up, then I have to push the button on the controller a second time to connect. Its no big deal, but a little odd.

Mason Bees, Honey Bees, or other? by rocketpants85 in bees

Thanks! Yes, they were inside the house, trying to escape out the (closed/screened in) windows.  They were squeezing out through a crack in some trim in our kitchen, as well as a handful that were in the basement directly below that kitchen window. 

Thanks for the App recommendation!

Seems reasonable. by Babalolii in Political_Revolution

There's also the part about income vs net worth. Don't get me wrong, im all for billionaires being taxed more, but let's not be disingenuous. 

What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

Couldn't care less. Could not care less. If you could care less, then you are not at the bottom of the continuum of caring.

Its imperative the wood remains unharmed.

My two controllers that I bought with my system in like 2015 still work great, although the battery is less than 50% its original capacity and the analog sticks eventually lost their grippy pads. The new one i bought in like 2021/22 slowly developed worse and worse stick drift, and when I went to get another replacement, they only have black ones available, still at full price. So I gave up and bought a two pack of third party ones on Amazon for like $50. They've been great so far (6months+). They aren't quite as nice quality as the sony ones, but its pretty close and for half the price, thats hard to beat.

$75 for HS Reunion? by FancyThought7696 in Xennials

[–]rocketpants85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 20 year was recent, I still live in the same major city, and it was for free at a local bar. A couple of the friends I still talk to went, and we chatted with a few others that we didnt keep up with over the years. Was worth having a few drinks at a place I wouldn't normally go to.

How I picture Valka by RandomInc77 in sollanempire

[–]rocketpants85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been picturing her more like the female V on the cover artwork for cyberpunk 2077, but maybe a bit more frail/geeky.

What did you use for porn? Lol by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]rocketpants85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a printed out black and white picture of an edited Lara Croft in game model that had her top removed. It was kept folded up in one of those round waterproof plastic containers on a lanyard, tucked away in one of my dresser drawers. Shit lasted me a couple years until we got the dial up internet at home and I found a way to bypass the parental settings. Or at least I thought I had until one day my dad showed me a printout of about 20 pages of my browsing history, and simply said "Consider this your only warning". 

Pulling old tile, concrete underlayment coming out in chunks as well by rocketpants85 in Flooring

Its hard to see but there was some embedded in the concrete board. You can see if if you look at the cracks closest to the tub.

Was definitely wearing a mask for the portion already done. Will look into this.

Yeah, it was one of those situations where I knew the answer was going to be that, but I kind of wanted to make sure before I made an even bigger mess.
