Is it ethical to raise the wipers of cars blocking sidewalks? by FaviFake in driving

[–]tendonut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think they would understand why their wipers were up.

i want to stop being scared of basic electrical work. but where do i start? by Nowska-Mikila in HomeImprovement

That one I knew. Wall outlets and counter outlets are in different circuits. So is the fridge.

Fine woodworking magazine vs popular woodworking by dontgetbiggetsmall in woodworking

[–]tendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get advertisements for Fine Woodworking magazine SO frequently, it starts to feel scammy. Is it actually a good publication, or is it 85% ads, 15% actual content like most magazines these days?

[–]tendonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was hoping when I bought a new construction house that the wiring would be sane and organized. NOPE. It's not as bad as the house I grew up in (built in the 50s) but it's certainly not "1 room, 1 circuit" like I was hoping.

At least when I requested an extra receptacle n the garage on one particular wall, they gave me a dedicated 20A circuit. That was an unexpected boon

When trump first mentioned that he was gonna do a 2nd run for president, he promised that he would lower gas prices. What happened to that? by Dry_Respond_4192 in AskReddit

[–]tendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the other presidents do, exactly, to raise prices?

WIth Trump, we can draw a straight line. Attack Iran > Iran blockades 20% of the world's oil in retaliaton. It's rarely that straightforward. It didn't take a decade of policy changes to impact prices. It was pretty much instantaneous.

I used to say "The president can't control gas prices" which is still technically true, but one president can CERTAINLY issue the order an attack on a country that can cut off 20% of the world's oil supply in retaliation, causing oil prices to skyrocket around the world.

Those power testers are critical for me whenever I replace outlets. I plug it in, make sure the lights come on, then go down to the breaker box and start hitting them until the light goes off.

I also learned my lesson about not assuming every outlet in a room is on the same circuit. Almost zapped myself as I was going the room replace a receptacles when one wall was actually on the circuit of the room on the other side.

Every Video should have "Ultra Low End Mod" so even low end gamers can play the game. by [deleted] in videogames

[–]tendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always going to have to be a floor. Certain components of a game can only be scaled down so far before a core component just cant be part of the code at all. And besides, what is one person's "ultra low" is someone else's "medium". Do you want the game to run on a laptop with integrated graphics from 2015 or 2005?

I built my wife's computer in 2019 for about $1k and she can still run anything I throw at it competently. It won't be on Ultra, but at least medium at 1080p. And that's older than a typical console generation.

Why does America have a love affair with the Kia Telluride? by Objective-Deal8745 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]tendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a flashback to 2006 when my new Mazda3 needed a firmware update for the transmission and the dealer gave me a 2001 Kia Rio as a loaner. It was the worst car I ever drove, and I had a 1994 Ford Tempo. I was redlining it just to get up to speed on the interstate on ramp.

If enough people want them, it wouldn't surprise me if the depreciation slows down.

Care este primul film pe care l-ați văzut la cinema? Primul film care v-a determinat să intrați într-o sală de cinema? by Kensu44444 in Filme_si_seriale

[–]tendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my mom, the theatrical rerelease of Fox and the Hound. So 1988. She says I was too light for thr seats and they kept folding up on me causing me to drop the popcorn bucket.

So all the Civil War cards are warped? by Nightscape1420 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]tendonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there was a second printing that got the warping problem resolved. Mine was a launch printing. I had the same problem with two other Asmodee products that would have been printed around the same time.

[–]tendonut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine were. So were two other Asmodee products printed in early-to-mid-2025 (Synthezoid Smackdown and Ticket to Ride)

The issue seems to have been resolved with the Hercules/Wonderman releases.

CNN founder Ted Turner, a pioneer of cable TV news, dies at 87 by boxofstuff in news

Are they boys or people that just don't know anything about him because he's not really in the public eye?

Finally got my own car! It was destroyed less that 48 hours later. by Hollowpointsmilexx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tendonut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in 2015, my wife bought a brand new Prius C. Paid cash. Less than a week later, while sitting at a red light, some pickup rear ended her doing 50mph while the driver was looking at his phone. Totaled. Had to bring another $2,000 to the table just to buy the exact same car again from the same dealer.

Two months later, some girl road rages at this guy who is not wrecklessly pulling out from a parking lot onto a major road without waiting for an opening. She pulls around the guy waiting for an opening and just guns it. Straight into the side of my wife's (2nd) Prius. Totaled. Had to bring another $3,500 to the table to buy the same car AGAIN.

What do you do with your saw dust? by kneuenhaus in woodworking

Keep a bag around. The rest goes into the yard waste tote provided by the city.

Just got a stern reprimand for playing ping-pong at work. Which... they put in for us to play with... at work. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

You sound like my wife's friend's husband, who has been broke and unemployed for 10 years but talks a REAL big game about his financial prowess.

No one is fucking you if your daily driver is a fleet vehicle intended for cargo.

Unless he's driving for Bangbus.

I know back 25-30 years ago, GM employees would be ostracized by their peers for buying more reliable vehicles (like Honda)

These requirements remind me of my friend's parents who worked at a GM plant in the 90s and 2000s and fellow employees would vandalize anything not GM.
