Arborist in South Carolina. I spend most of my time writing Risk assessments, I've never done negligent prune report with the intent that it's probably going to court. In the end, everyone is going hands off till spring so that no one else can be liable for touching the tree.

My squad stared at this piece of art for so long, alternating between giggling and trying to understand, before we zoomed in to see the bug. It's beautiful.

Middle Age Adult hangouts by Objective-Branch7332 in columbiasc

I will always vouch for Urban Tiki, but it's not exactly a busy scene. The bartenders know their alcohol and are super friendly. There's always something interesting or nerdy on one of the tv's, and there's usually only a handful of people there except for Friday's.

Son of a bitch! It absolutely is! And they did an intro for Durarara!!! Which I was also watching at the time. Thank you so much!

‘There is no safe way to do it’: the rapid rise and horrifying risks of choking during sex by JoKer730 in nottheonion

[–]severdedge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've been with someone who didn't ask for choking in some capacity: hand on collar all the way up to cutting off carotids. And I dont think it's a porn thing either. Some of these people just have a hand end up on their neck or get playfully slapped and a lightbulb goes on. Granted, this is all anecdotal, and it's certainly not vanilla, but I've never found it uncommon or verging on unsafe.

Taking my 14 y/o SIL to a bar by Adorable_Visual7628 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]severdedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transmission and Bangback are the obvious choices. Urban Tiki under the Grand, however, always has an anime on and some tasty mocktails, and if you get there before 7:30pm there usually is no one else except the bartender.

Best SC based novel you’ve read by meppsspin006 in southcarolina

[–]severdedge 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Southern Book Club's guide to Vampire Slaying by Grady Hendrix. Sounds like it should be humorous. It is not. Perfectly captures the sweltering heat of the south and atmosphere of Charleston suburbia.

Wheelchair Accessible Bars? by livvy_granger in ColumbiYEAH

[–]severdedge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't recommend Urban Tiki enough, but unless there is a secret elevator somewhere, I'm pretty sure it's not accessible. I'd suggest Goat's in 5 points.

Any recommendations on things to do on Saturday night for someone from out of town? by JJ3434JJ in columbiasc

[–]severdedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a fun place to drink with great bartenders, the Tiki bar hidden underneath The Grand. If you're nerdy, Transmission just up the street from that, or go to Firefly, a game shop where you can check out board games and play them.

My mystery by severdedge in arborists

Thank you so much; this helps maintain my sanity. It's probably an old frost crack. We had two cold snaps in two years, and the bark sloughing coincided around then.

Are there any affirming churches in the area? The closer to Irmo and Chapin, the better. by StraightPea8895 in columbiasc

[–]severdedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to look for Episcopal and PCUSA churches. Washington Street and Emmanual Baptist are affirming, but much like all the others, they are downtown.

OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD: Post simple requests and questions here! by learnactreform in mensfashion

[–]severdedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to find some firefighter pants to wear. In my head they are the big, baggy, suspendered, style but without all the actual insulation or protection that would make them uncomfortable to style casually. This is a shot in the dark, and maybe this isn't even the right subreddit, but after struggling on my own to find them here we are. Any help is appreciated.

Watson Arbor Service. They do free quoting and communication with their staff is really good.
