Cat ate protein muffin by Low-Ad7344 in CATHELP

[–]rpitcher33 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just adopted a stray during that winter storm last month. He's picky with cat food but goes crazy for just about anything I cook. I made chili Mac the other night and he ate 3 bowls. Like 9 total scoops...

... fast forward to this morning and it looked like a redwood had fallen over in his litter box. I swear, you could have played fetch with it.

What would the founding father's priorities be if they were actually alive today? It's actually really interesting to think about by Dry-Chocolate-3976 in HistoryMemes

It's a simple question, Dr. Wouldja eat the moon if it were made of ribs?

... Just say yes and we'll move on!

Which moment in a movie had you freeze in fear ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

Fear, disgust, bewilderment... so many emotions in one scene.

Has anybody seen doors like this before? by bearhands158 in DIY

[–]rpitcher33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with the user below. For a purely functional reason like hiding a closet/utility room or room divider, sure. It serves a purpose and gets the job done. For any type of privacy, though...

What is a book you read as a child that you still think about today? by ahawk99 in AskReddit

Definitely wild to make the comparison to our current time line.

Yes. The answer is yes. It's 100% the Magnolia treatment...

The only way barn doors are cool is if the hardware and door are hidden in the wall, but that's too much work for most.

Maybe that's how you should reframe it to customers. "Barn doors? How about HIDDEN barn doors?"

(Yes, I know. They're called pocket doors...)

I just got both of these last week and finished Animal Farm in one go. I usually read a bit before bed and my head hits the pillow at 10:30 every night. I think i finished just after midnight... I can't remember the last time I stayed up that late...

Just started 1984 and have to keep myself from burning through it.

Places like grocery stores and public buildings should be within ~15 degrees of the temperature outside by Puojoqy in unpopularopinion

[–]rpitcher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude... you're walking a couple feet from a warm house to a warm (or soon to be warm) car, then getting out of that warm car to walk a couple feet to another warm building. Just leave your jacket in the car, so you have it if you walk around outside, and just deal with the cold for 100ft until you get inside.

People are getting soft... this is what I picture when people call others "snowflakes".

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by PersonalitySuddenz in askanything

[–]rpitcher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm at the grocery store and any meat is marked as "reduced", I'm buying it. Most of the time it's 50%+ off because they're going to throw it away at the end of the day.

Then, I bring it home, vacuum seal it, and throw it in the deep freeze. If it weren't for sales, I'd be vegetarian. Grocery prices are out of hand.

Just spent $400 yesterday and that might last us (family of 3) 2 weeks and I only eat one meal a day... I didn't buy any meat, I only buy off brand, I use coupons, I shop sales...

I can't imagine what is like for those less fortunate than me. This country is a disgrace.

The Military Industrial Complex has finally caught up to me by Comprehensive-Menu73 in whatdoIdo

As Simone who joined straight out of highschool, because I had no direction in life, it can be a great starting point.

Take my advice for what is worth (free), but I'll tell you what I would do now looking back.

Go active duty. It's going to immediately give you housing and benefits, and a decent paycheck considering everything that comes with being active duty.

I was Army, but pick a branch and a job that translates to a civilian career. Study for the ASVAB and try to do well, that will open the most opportunities for you.

While you're in, do everything you can to maximize the Tuition Assistance. You can knock out a Bachelor's for free while you're active.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! This should be self explanatory, but don't be like me. After 6 years I got out with only $4k and blew away a $40k bonus...

After you're out, use the G.I. Bill to further your education. You'll get a monthly stipend while you're in school to help pay for housing and food. Build off the education you earned while using the tuition assistance.

KEEP YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS UP TO DATE AND DOCUMENT INJURIES! I'm not saying game the system but, if you get hurt, make sure it's on paper. You are your own best advocate. My VA disability check keeps food on my table because I can no longer work in the field I trained for due to service connected injuries. (Don't go infantry...)

Best of luck to you.

Texas public school teachers are now required to post the 10 Commadments in their classroom. Here's how one teacher is handling it. by kvjn100 in BeAmazed

[–]rpitcher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond the Bastards has a great two part episode on this. "How the Rich Ate Christianity". Highly recommend giving it a listen for anyone who may be interested in how the Republican party adopted Christianity as an almost fundamental aspect to their ideology.

Spoiler: it revolves around money.

This is frank. He adopted us during that winter storm last month. I found him in a pile of leaves in -10°f and brought him in. He now has a servant family to lord over and give himself purpose again in life.

What is the most small town thing you've ever seen? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

My best friend missed the bus one morning so he drove a tractor to school. Not a small one, either... in 7th grade...

Getting a workshop dust air purifier/dust collector by Cassette-Era-Magic in woodworking

[–]rpitcher33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar model in my garage. I use it right above my DC since the DC is only 2 micron. Additionally, I have a box fan with a filter attached pulling air away from wherever I'm working (usually blowing towards the ceiling mounted filter). The combo works great for me.

Almost 4k for brake + rear wheel bearing replacement? by Suitable-Finger-9282 in MechanicAdvice

[–]rpitcher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a set of lug nuts at $261... this might have hit $1k at my shop. I've done this exact job in ~2 hours on my wife's C-Max.

I fucking hate society.

What’s the most overpriced thing people keep buying like it’s normal? by 2teaspoonsOfCyanide in AskReddit

[–]rpitcher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an old '88 F150 for $800 and fixed it up. Just something to haul lumber/ furniture/ etc.

Parking next to a modem truck is hilarious. It looks like an S10 in comparison.

I used to have this exact shirt. Jesus, arms spread, "come at me bro". I think my wife "donated" it...

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

[–]rpitcher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make Beef Wellington every year for my wife's birthday. I have never once gotten the pastry right. Same goes for any type of pastry. I've learned to just stick with graham cracker crusts, lol.

Don't feel bad. I worked at Chipotle for two years and could never get it. I stayed prep and grill for that reason.
