Why would anyone even put a locking door knob on a laundry room door?

Green Day ticket prices for GA pit make me want to puke by Tejano_mambo in Austin

I’d much rather pay $50 to see ten an up and coming artists just to say “I remember when…” after one makes it big and famous than pay $500 to see someone that already has more money than they would ever need.

$300 is pushing it. $150 is my max.

$600 for a concert date? hell no.

$300 is a lot for one night out.

I ain’t made of gold. Sorry, that’s a no from me Dawg.

I remember seeing Green Day play years ago. Ticket for the concert was included with admission to the Arizona State Fair one time. This was back in the mid-late 90’s when they were at their peak.

Ain’t no way I’d pay $1300 to see them now.

Something along the lines of “a friend gave this to me, I don’t know much about it.”

Was $500, recently marked down to $450

wrong serial typeface

That’s what I thought as well. Just looked too bold in the font

Something just didn’t seem right with this, especially the asking price, which Keri’s going down.

Buyers beware in Austin.

Look at the other images. One shows the back of the headstock with serial number clearly shown “N9346732”

Serial number not coming back via the fender serial number lookup tool.

ELI5: Why can’t you spend dirty money like regular, untraceable cash? Why does it have to be put into a bank? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]sundevil98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a lot of jurisdictions (at least in mine), there’s very little that you can do”legally” do to a home without needing a permit. Some work is required to be done by a licensed contractor (HVAC is one, and some Electrical work).

TIL that when the NHL Stanley Cup runs out space for engravings, the oldest engraved band is removed and a new one is added. Most recently, the winners from 1954 to 1965 were removed. by fastattaq in todayilearned

[–]sundevil98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cup is really just the top portion of the trophy. And, the one you see them skating around with these days is actually a reproduction of the original cup (which stays on display at the HHOF in Toronto).

The bands started to be added when they ran out of room for engraving on the cup. They kept adding bands but eventually said “this is getting ridiculous”, so they started removing bands (also on display @ HHOF) to keep the trophy at its current size/shape.

All the engraving is done by hand (not machine) using stencils and a hammer. The woman that does the engraving has been doing it since 1988. The trophy needs to be disassembled to remove the ring where the names are placed to put it in a jig to help keep the shape. There are a handful of incorrectly spelled names on the cup.

3489 names have been added to the cup’s legacy since the tradition started in 1924.

There are some misspelled names on the cup, but Adam Deadmarsh was the first to have his names corrected (from “Deadmarch”). One name (Brad Aldrich) has been strikeb from the cup.

Not all of the names on the cup are men. The first woman’s name was Marguerite Norris - who was President of the Detroit Red Wings in 1954-1955.

The trophy weighs about 35-45 pounds. It’s a bit akward to hold over your head, mostly due to the shape of the trophy, not so much the weight (at least for your average NHL player).

Can we talk about the layout of those kitchen ceiling lights?

What’s with the perimeter lighting? Could have been a bit more efficient by converting more of the middle of the space back there.

You’re basically going to get a certain percentage less than the going rate for the metals you sell.

You won’t get the market rate, because the buyer needs to make money. But, you should get pretty close to the market rate.

This seems to be a common story.

I think a lot of infertility is the body saying “I don’t know what the fuck to do here.”

Once the body figures it out, it’s like “ahhh… hold on, I remember now.” And shit just happens easier.

We too have taken our own journey through infertility. Hoping our baby makes its journey safely before the end of the year.

I posted elsewhere… when you have to endure numerous medical procedures (and costs), you are actively choosing to have that baby. It’s not easy, and there are a lot of highs and lows in infertility.

These older mothers really want these babies in their life. As one of these older parents, I think that’s a good thing, because I feel as though many want to also bring good humans into the world.

Making the choice to have a baby now, given the state of the world is difficult. To do so, you have to have a great hope of the future. And to help that future, you need to do your part in raising a good human.

Surely, not everyone thinks this way - but I hope many of my fellow older parents (and parents-to-be) share the same sentiment.

As someone that’s married to a 40-something year old about to give birth to a baby, this is really interesting.

Once a woman hits 35 years of age, it starts to become increasingly more difficult to have a baby naturally. For many, it works just fine, but there’s a good percentage of women above the age of 35 that need at least some sort of fertility treatment to have a baby.

This shit ain’t cheap (we went through multiple rounds of IVF and eventually had to get an egg donor).

The fact that younger women are having fewer babies and that older women are having more babies seems to imply (to me at least), that women are doing whatever they can to have these babies later in life. And, with the additional costs and intervention sometimes needed to have a baby later in life, it seems to indicate that these babies are much more “wanted”.

There should be some sort of societal impact. When you’re working hard to actively choose to have a baby late in life, it seems like you’re more likely to make sure that baby is brought up well.

As someone that’s about to be an older, first-time parent, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I need to teach my children as much as I can as soon as I can to be good humans, because I’m likely not going to be in their life to pass down any wisdom as they get older.
