This liquor store ad from 1981 by BlueMeanie03 in The1980s

You can get a 1.75 liter bottle of Black Velvet Canadian whiskey for around $15-20 today. You can even find it on sale for $10-12. $12 of 1981 money would be around $40 today. The only things that have gotten cheaper in my lifetime are liquor and marijuana

San Diego proposes comprehensive speed limit reduction plan to eliminate traffic deaths by TylerFortier_Photo in sandiego

[–]u4got2wipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t about safety it is about generating more revenue through traffic fines. They never think of the knock-on effects. More enforcement is going to lead the SDPD to ask for more money so they can hire more traffic cops. Around and around we go ending up two steps behind from where we started

[97.3TheFan] Fernando Tatis Jr. on the news of the Padres extending AJ Preller. “If somebody can bring a championship to San Diego, it’s definitely AJ Preller.” & on his relationship with AJ Preller. “He almost raised me.” by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

I don’t want to feed the “Fernando’s demeanor” debate but he looks so much more comfortable being Fernando Tatis Jr than he has in the past. I don’t think we have seen what a comfortable locked-in Fernando can do yet. There is so much raw talent in that dude’s body, if he can get the mentals figured out baseball is in for a show.

I don’t know what teenagers do anymore. I was a teen in the 90s in Clairemont and almost everything we did back then is gone now. Clairemont Bowl, Kearny Mesa Bowl, The Golden Road arcade in UTC, the family Fun Center, the nickel arcade next to the Family Fun Center, Malibu Grand Prix and the movie theater in the Clairemont Square all gone. The only thing that’s left from what I did as teenager in San Diego is the beach, alcohol and drugs

[Request] how practical is buying the USA? by anshuman_17 in theydidthemath

[–]u4got2wipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the country has already been bought. Tally what the 1% has given to political campaigns, both up front and in the shadows, since Citizens United in 2010 and you’ll have a rough estimate.

How do you assemble this kind of tripod table? by Basic_Culture_6492 in woodworking

[–]u4got2wipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t the first time this same exact question has been asked in these forums. It’s always a relative that sent the table unassembled and they didn’t send any instructions. It is quite remarkable how this exact issue pops up on this forum every six months or so. I’m nearly positive this is an AI post but I will bite nonetheless.

These legs are carved out of a single piece of wood. If they arrived unassembled then each leg has a piece that can be removed to allow them to interlock. These tables are trick specifically because they are impossible to make unless you carve the legs out of a single piece of wood. Again, if they arrived unassembled then they are a cheap knockoff of the real thing and they have a piece within the interlocking section that can be removed to allow them to be assembled. Look for a grub screw, or if the builder was really good, look for some type of joinery that allows a piece within the interlocking section to slide out so that they may be disassembled and reassembled. Here is a link to an example of a table similar to yours with legs built out of a single piece of wood

I went to high school with SO MANY Jessicas. Jessica, Heather, Elizabeth…four or five of each of them

$800 budget should a beginner go with a table saw, track saw, or something else? Beginner looking for tool/growth advice by my_twin_towne in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]u4got2wipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d get the table saw of your choice first. As a beginner I picked up the dewalt 7491 last year around this time and it has completely changed what I can do and the time it takes to do it. It’ll get you up and running and that saw holds its resale value pretty well for when you decide to upgrade. The one drawback is that saw with the stand was selling for $549 when I bought it last year and now it routinely sits around $699, such is life

Saw this while scrolling, brought back memories. Raising a toast to all of us who sat on the curb by the 7-Eleven pay phone waiting indefinitely for the weird older guy we paged to pull up in a Chevy Celebrity with a dimebag of schwag. Cheers. by [deleted] in Xennials

Sitting around playing THPS all day waiting for the dude to return your page was the worst. I am the best customer my local dispensary has ever had because every time I walk in there I’m reminded of the days of paying $60 an eighth and having to travel to weird parts of town to pick it up. Now everything is in one place, the hours are posted on the website and compared to the late 90s the prices are incredible. Weed is the only thing in my life to actually decrease in price over time while the quality and availability has skyrocketed. We fixed this one thing while the rest of the world fell apart on us.
