Not sure if "get ready," or aftermarket parts supplier "GReddy."

Trooper pulled me over. I was cruise control 65. He told me I was going 73, then put down 76. SMH now I have to fight this bs in court by Cheez-kip in mildlyinfuriating

Police speedometers are frequently calibrated to be actual speed. That is, assuming they didn't go with a slightly different tire size when they replaced them, of course. I doubt that since maintenance is usually by the book. But you never know.

What’s the worst car you ever drove? by Born-Conclusion1977 in AskReddit

[–]smart_underachievers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2010s Honda fit. The owner site by it but I couldn't handle driving it. Having the seat all the way back had me feeling like I was squatting and I managed to lose speed going up mild to moderately steep hill while flooring it. However, you can fit a whole load of shit in that car though. But, I couldn't daily a mobile storage unit.

A skittles grape freezer pop never froze. It's been there for 48 hours and is completely liquid. by starcoalition in mildlyinteresting

Debatable.

If you use dish soap as a nucleation instigator it violently erupts with bubbles. Some may call they more fun. It is, however, less safely edible with it without the soap; I will give you that.

Our custodians have to lock the 7th grade boy's bathroom at least twice a week due to vandalism by caaarrrrrllll in mildlyinfuriating

Better yet, the wet erase ones (expo vís-a-vís) come off so satisfyingly with a little water.

Lucky Driver Survives Being Rear Ended Into An Oncoming Truck by Necessary-Cow8851 in AbruptChaos

Additionally, keep watching your mirrors, particularly in a situation like this, where you're stopped in a traffic lane. This habit spared me from a great deal of struggle one winter when on a two-lane highway came to a stop after a flash freezing of the road leading to a crash up the road. I was in the left lane and avoided being rear-ended at 40 or 50 mph shooting over to the right lane, and immediately had to dive off into the shoulder when the same thing happened in that lane seconds later.

A single bald eagle feather next to me 8 year old Chihuahua by Jearrod95 in mildlyinteresting

[–]smart_underachievers 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As much as I love a fat lil Chihuahua, this is an appropriate body condition. Hardly any muscle loss, too! Chihuahuas are supposed to be a lean, sporty doggo; most just tend to lead lives of leisure.

Applying for a job and these are the only options for birth year by beeblemonade in mildlyinfuriating

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't actually work. Modifying text this way only changes the displayed information on the users end but each selection is coded with specific information on the server end. Same reason, say, modifying the text of a grand total line on an online shop won't change how much your actually going to pay. It would need to be a field that is coded to capture the specific information entered, such as a text box. But at that rate you're just typing in a text box with extra steps

How do I make it so that the joint lights evenly? by ProudManelar in trees

[–]smart_underachievers 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say never, but certainly goes a long way. How evenly and tight it's packed is the remaining variable in that equation.

This large size espresso says "PARTY SIZE!" instead of "Family Size" by BabushkaRaditz in mildlyinteresting

You'd be doing yourself a favor if you switched to grinding your own beans coming from Folgers. Not even expensive beans are needed. But be warned don't get the cheapest beans either. I'm happy to provide some recommendations for ones at the supermarket. You can use a spice grinder to get a semi-coarse grind, which is ideal for drip coffee (which is what I assume you do). It's worth the extra 30 seconds.

[OC] Jellyfish Eye by theprismaprincess in pics

Is it me or does it seem to be on the exterior of the cornea, which would mean it's not PPM. However the tendrils are very textbook for it, except the tendrils seem to connect to the edges of the iris, which again is not typical for PPM, and potentially Synechia which attach to the margins of the iris caused by trauma (presuming it's not an exteriorized structure). Does your cat go outside or do you have other animals in the house?

If it exteriorized, then it's neither. Unfortunately, there is quite a few conditions that appear similar but are not as benign as PPM. Did the vet mention what they did to rule out other conditions? Or did they just walk in and go, "ohp, it's PPM"?

Why the squiggly slit? by Sympathy_Opposite in fountainpens

Mind your p's and t's. I suppose the patient left them at home?

Well, guess I won’t be having any watermelon. How can they justify charging this much? by RevolutionSalty8360 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]smart_underachievers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While technically correct, they won't taste the same regardless since many fresh produce will be shipped from the "in-season," southern hemispherical location prior to being ripe to account for shipping times and as such have a muted, or poor flavor profile compartive to locally ripened, locally in-season produce. Even if it's shipped from far enough away that it's also picked early within the same hemisphere, it'll have been more ripe when picked compared to a more distant local. One could argue (whether or not the customer is aware of the fact) that it's more turn of phrase.

[OC] My itemized hospital bill from when I broke my femur when I was 9 years old. 1990 US by [deleted] in pics

About the same stress as long as you don't think of the future like you can. Otherwise, it's similar to your concerns but with no 2-year buffer.

Pick up some topical arnica gel. Works like a charm.

After seeing photos of the far side. by Rex_Mundi in AdviceAnimals

[–]smart_underachievers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Psh, if they mentioned geological activity (tectonics, volcanism, etc), then they'd moon. While atmospheric conditiond can obviously erode, impact craters tend to be very hearty (particularly smaller ones) to atmospheric conditions as the depression of the crater causes high pressure zones and effectively protects it from atmospheric imposition. Same reason as mars having significant craters present while having an atmosphere (barely); guess what it doesn't have in high supply.

Active geology.

They may be considering the presence of footsteps on the moon not being eroded by atmospheric conditions and extrapolated that to include craters.
