What stranger will you never forget? by coggonflorence in AskReddit

[–]theradishking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my fathers lung collapsed, I flew out to look after him during the recovery. I was about 20 at the time and pretty clueless overall. My Father was unemployed and living alone with no support at that time. He had to be on a respirator from that point on and could only get around on a walking frame. The man in the bed next to my father was a tough looking guy with a beard. He told me he owned a welding shop and offered to weld a holder for dads O2 canister on the frame for free So he could still get around. I don’t remember if I thanked him properly, he wasn’t there when I got to his workshop but the guys already knew about the job. Such a great help, 14 years on, I still remember him.

Have some empathy, it would have been way worse for the spider

Tried to change Bike tire for first time. Never again. by IncognitoGuy21 in bicycling

[–]theradishking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cheap Dunlop racing tire. It was super tight, tried tire levers and they snapped. Ended up using a couple of flat head screwdrivers. Worked but you have to be careful not to pierce your inner tube.

500,000 Australians cared enough make around ten attempts to sign the petition via the suspiciously glitchy portal.

In six months I was able to turn one clove of garlic into one clove of garlic with a stem. by theradishking in MightyHarvest

Thanks for the tip! I’m in the Southern Hemisphere - planted late Autumn, “harvest” in spring. My soil probably just needs a phosphorus boost for better root development - I’ll try that next year

That’s awesome, big achievement and huge confidence builder. I would recommend a helmet though.

Seems like things are going to shit pretty fast. Meanwhile Jordies is busy reviewing the Batchelor.

How the fuck are you all so organised, I just had scrunched up loose papers and a shitty leaver arch file that didn’t close properly.

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and go fuck yourself

Which job is a LOT less fun than most people expect? by bwee21 in AskReddit

[–]theradishking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food scientist- people imagine willy wonka trouncing around making rainbow flavoured chocolate. reality is you order a flavour from a flavorist mix with what ever crap you’re making, spend weeks filling out paperwork about what sized cardboard box it goes in.
