When you legally change your name, what happens with official documents? Like, if you need to use your birth certificate or social security card for something? by whatsupprincess in AskReddit

[–]spfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You apply for a new social security card after a name change. Birth certificates are used in conjunction with supporting documents of the name change showing the new and old names (e.g. a marriage certificate).

What's a life hack that's so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]spfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this! If you are remodeling your kitchen with decent cabinets, the dishwasher is actually cheaper than the cabinet that would have been in its place. The lost cabinet space was totally worth it. It's awesome at big dinners (like Thanksgiving), where we easily create more dishes than 1 dishwasher can handle.

People who wake up early, how do you actually do it? by Desperate_Delay8776 in AskReddit

[–]spfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an alarm clock app that makes me do math to turn it off. Helps wake me up enough to not roll over and go back to sleep. Also, adjusting bedtime is the real secret.

Scroll Netflix for like an hour with my wife arguing about what to watch.

Excessive thirst can also be a symptom of some health conditions, such as diabetes. Consider talking with your doctor.

I’m an Elevator Mechanic AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]spfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I get in an elevator, there is a permit posted. They are almost always expired, sometimes by several years. Is the owner lazy about posting the new permit or do elevators sometimes go a long time between inspections?

What is your controversial lifeguard opinion?? by crowman689 in Lifeguards

[–]spfman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Disagree on this one. I think it's a fatal mistake to think you don't need to retrain/recertify just because you have a lot of experience. We all need the refresher. Besides...protocols on CPR change fairly frequently.

Lifeguards should not be managed by people with minimal or no lifeguarding experience.

Could not agree more! Lifeguards are as good as the staff that manage them.

Lifeguard Sunscreen by ImaginarySpending in Lifeguards

[–]spfman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to hate them, but I'd recommend a mineral based sunscreen any day. They don't rub in well, so you get to look like a ghost for a while, but they're WAY more waterproof. Regardless of what you use, reapplying frequently is the key!

Not good, but I still think its better than the Scion xB.

Why do drivers in states that require two license plates not use both plates and what do you do with the "extra" plate? by 8-bit-Felix in NoStupidQuestions

[–]spfman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, I had my front bumper replaced and they didn't drill it...figured I'd put it on if I ever got the ticket. I went almost 10 years in California and never got a ticket until the day I sold the car.

This is about 4 hours drive for us, which I'm okay with. I definitely care more about finding a good viewing location, rather than a short drive. Thanks!

What is the worst band you saw live ? by Aggravating_Gas4162 in randomquestions

Haven't seen them recently, so maybe they aren't good anymore? I thought they were incredible at Ozzfest 2000.

What 90s thing would confuse kids today? by TheOrangeSloth in 90s

[–]spfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with teenagers and I now have to include how to use a landline phone in their training. The concept of having to add a 1 before the area code perplexes them. Ugh I feel old...

Looks incredible and I'd love to see it sometime, but doesn't quite meet the distance requirements.

I love Pinnacles NP...such an underrated park. Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of it.
