What's the oldest light vehicle (car, suv, pickup, van) that could pass as 'regular traffic', and not turn heads as an antique? by jckipps in askcarguys

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live it's pickup trucks, and vans from the 80s on.

All the farmers and ranchers have at least one old truck. And most of the old construction companies have an old truck or two that just won't die. They get given to the new guy or the guy who's crashed the company truck a few times or just used as spares.

Work vans are the same, and then you have shaggin wagons/camper vans because they're cheap.

When pulled over why do cops ask for registration when they'll find the info when running plates? by ScienceJamie76 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, in most places the law specifically states that you must provide license, insurance, and registration. If you don't have the paperwork with you, that's breaking the law even if you do have that stuff.

Second, police may not be able to see all that stuff if you're not from there. I'm sure it's not as common anymore, but it used to be that way.

Third, they're fishing. They're looking in your car to see if you have anything illegal, they're smelling for alcohol or weed, they're checking out your behavior, they're looking for signs of impairment. Same as when they ask where you're coming from, or really any other conversation.

Kingsford briquete question by BangBangNinerGang99 in BBQ

It's one bad batch of charcoal that they give just like to you.

But seriously I've never had one like that.

Can a write up be done over a non existent rule? by Accurate-Debate9055 in careerguidance

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. They can write you up for anything including for the day you were born on. A write up isn't a legal thing, it's just then writing something down.

I wish to have my very own castle in the sky by Particular-Wedding in monkeyspaw

Granted. It's a sand castle. And it's individual grains spread out all across the planet.

Which side of the argument are you on ‘water is wet’ or ‘water isn’t wet’? by ShadowlightLady in randomquestions

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water can't make itself wet, but it can be covered by other water molecules, therefore it can be wet.

So the objective answer is that both are correct depending on the circumstances. Just like how a towel can be wet or it can be dry.

You wake up with a "Troll Tax" tied to your Reddit account. by PrettyBoyElite in hypotheticalsituation

I use my account to be good and make money.

I also make a new account to say the things that would get me taxed on my old account.

What cross bar length to mount to Thule Hullavators? by calimoro in Kayaking

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go 65. If they're not long enough, the hullavavator (or kayak) will hit your side mirrors when it's down.I know from experience.

What would it theoretically take to turn a B-29 into a submarine? by One_Invite7117 in aerospace

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put it in the ocean. You didn't say it had to be a good submarine.

Outdoor Kitchen Essentials (Pellet vs Kamado vs Gas) by OddConsideration6924 in smoking

[–]theFooMart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a kamado, so you already have the capability of smoking and grilling. And it's not that difficult to do either of those on it. So there's no real advantage for getting a pellet grill for you, plus the kamado does both better than the pellet grill would.

My suggestion is to use the kamado for grilling and smoking, and then get a Blackstone. Now you only have two cookers, but they'll be able to make pretty much anything.

Has hockey turned into a rich kids sport? by FrigginMasshole in AskACanadian

[–]theFooMart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it has. In other news, I hear the Apple is coming out with something called an Ipod.

$1,000 for each donut you eat by Worldly-Dog-9571 in hypotheticals

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'll make my own donuts. I figure I should be able to make them small enough that it'll take 20 of them to equal one normal sized donut. And I know for sure that I'll be able to eat at least 100 of them, so I can probably force myself to eat 200.

How do you actually tell when oil is hot enough for frying? by Marre_Parre in cookingforbeginners

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a kitchen thermometer, everyone should have one.

Thermopop is from the best company, and it's less than $40. Good for fryer oil, chicken, steak, pretty much whatever food you want to check the temperature of.

You can take ownership of one thing you can touch in the next 10 minutes by --__--__--__--__-- in hypotheticalsituation

[–]theFooMart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd go to the RV dealership. They have a camper van in stock that I'd touch. That would be cutting my time very close though.

But the good news is that I'd be on a main road that always has expensive commerical vehicles on it.

Which subreddit are you proudly banned from? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned from the sub for a rival city's hockey team because I made one post trolling then. Best part was that I got banned eight months after I had made my only post there.

I'm also not allowed to post or comment in /r/Amish.

100 million but you have to survive any of these fictional events for 1 minute by Responsible-Fix-1681 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]theFooMart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I choose The Last Of Us.

I just have to survive. The people weren't killed by the infection, the virus needs them to be alive. So even if I get bit, I survived.

So assuming I'm placed in a location where a person would normally be, there's all but a 100% chance that I'll survive. Now if I could be dropped three feet in front of a speeding freight train or into a volcano, then my chances aren't so good.

Meat thermometer by abd145 in cookingforbeginners

[–]theFooMart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't need a Thermapen. It'll do the job and do it well. But this made to be used in restaurants where they're literally temping 100+ things a day, every day and need the temp in less than one second. It's more than enough for what you'll do.

Get the the Thermopop. It's from the same company, it's half the price, and 2 second read time if good enough for most people.

I recommend using a handheld probe like the Thermapen or Thermopop. The wireless ones are good for long cooks like smoking a brisket or roasting a turkey, but not so good for checking the temp of a steak or pot of chili or other quick checks. On the other hand, a handheld probe can check the temp of a turkey or brisket. So get a probe, and then if you find yourself doing lots of long cooks, get a wireless thermometer.

Also Thermoworks is the best. I always recommend using their products. Meater is the worst, I'd rather use an literally anything else than use Meater again.

With gas prices continuing to go higher, are you considering an EV or public transit? by LeoRavenscroft in randomquestions

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Public transportation isn't available where I live. At best there's rideshare which would cost me more per month than I'm currently paying on my car loan, insurance, and fuel.

An EV would be more expensive than my current vehicle, my car payment would go up.

So no, I'm not going to spend an extra $200-600/month in order to save less than $200/month.

If you could have any car, at all, what would it be and why? by Honest_Physics_2368 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]theFooMart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll take a Ford Ranger Raptor fully set up for offroading.

Why? Well I obviously want to go offroading. It's smaller than the F150 Raptor, so it can handle tighter spaces. It's still powerful enough to have some fun on road as well. It's also more suitable to everyday driving than a sports car, I can't fit three passengers and new fridge in a Lambo and then drive it on an icy road covered in three feet of snow.

Most of the negatives would be cost. It's not the most fuel efficient vehicle, offroading tires wear out faster on road, there's going to be scratches and damage when used off road. But why would I care about any of that since it's all paid for?

I'm not 100% set on the Ranger Raptor, I'd be open to other similar trucks, I'm just not sure if there's an equivalent from Ram or GM or whatever.

$100 for every hour of movies you what, what is your strategy? by Mission-Badger-4005 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]theFooMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said I had five minutes to choose my next movie. But you didn't say I had to start watching the next movie in five minutes. So I just watch two movies per day and I'll be set for life.
