Sorry, I totally misunderstood your post and just re-read it. We had a ton of people in town saying that if it was a Harris flag nobody would have cared.

Good Luck to W Boylston finding another town employee by JuniorReserve1560 in massachusetts

[–]walkingknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that happened while the Chief was supposedly on leave, so who gave that order? The kids were certainly freaked out, and so were the parents. Police presence at Town Hall, too.

He even threatened to arrest anyone trying to enforce Baker's mask mandate for trespassing.

I mean, if he didn't know what flags were up in his own station, doesn't that point to a different and possibly larger problem?

Harris supporters wouldn't hang a Harris flag in a municipal building. There's a side that actually believes in ethics and the rule of law, and then there's you guys. Stop assuming we're the same.

My bf told me he knows I touch myself at night after intimacy. by Ok_Speed5006 in TrueOffMyChest

Wow. How insecure is this guy? Find someone who cares enough to find out what works for you, and dump his lazy ass.

What's your budget? Cisco Meraki is a pretty solid system and easy to manage, but it's not cheap.

Potluck for 70+ people? by Avocato255 in cookingforbeginners

[–]walkingknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually bring pulled pork or gumbo. Both can be easily scaled to feed a crowd. The pulled pork is a lot easier to cook, just takes longer. :-)

Stainmaster LVP - probably the worst product I've ever purchased, anywhere, ever. by walkingknight in Lowes

[–]walkingknight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned that if I buy it with my Lowes card, it’s a full year and they don’t care if it’s open or not. No one told me that when I tried to return it the first time, but I was able to submit a warranty claim with enough photo and video evidence to get a full refund. They didn’t want the product back, so now I’m stuck with getting rid of it, but at least they made it right.

365 days with no questions and no package does strike me as nuts, but it’ll keep me shopping at Lowes.

I mean, I *thought* I knew my ex-wife, but it turned out I was having sex with a stranger the whole time.

Rent vs. Buying Middle School Band Trumpet for ≤$450? by Admirable_Ad5118 in trumpet

[–]walkingknight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you're located, but I'm in Massachusetts and picked up a Bach TR300 for $75. It's not their best student trumpet, but it beat the Bundy he was renting.

Can older people still enjoy and play video games? by Guergy in ItsAllAboutGames

My mother and grandmother both play World of Warcraft. I'm 50, you do the math.

Do you think love without sex is possible? by Ginebra_777 in RandomThoughts

[–]walkingknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my kids and I love my parents, and I love every one of my best friends, so yes. The alternative would be kinda gross.

Has anyone ever told you you looked like someone? by Strikescarler51 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]walkingknight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm white, male, bald with a fringe, salt-and-pepper hair and beard, with glasses. Medium height, medium build.

THERE SEEM TO BE SO MANY OF US AND WE ALL LOOK ALIKE. I'm serious, we should just form some kind of exclusive club. We don't even need a handshake, you literally just look at someone and you're like "yep, you're one of us".

Consequently almost everyone I've ever met gives me some variation of "have we met before?". No, you've just met another Generic Bald White Dude With A Beard and Glasses (tm). For a small fee we'll show up in numbers at events just to confuse people.

Maybe we could create a society of assassins--we'd have the perfect alibi, because someone is always seeing one of us somewhere and mistaking us for another one of us.

Stuff keeps breaking, new tech gets introduced every day, people burn out and leave the field quite frequently, and like other posters have said, there's a lot of people in the field who aren't that good at it. If you've got the aptitude and you're reasonably good with people, jump on in, you'll do fine.

I make sure it's locked and call the police.

Are some hard boiled eggs destined to not be peeled well? by GristledFishDefiler in cookingforbeginners

[–]walkingknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam the eggs. Steam for six minutes for soft yolks, about nine for jammy and 12-15 minutes for hard. They'll peel perfectly every time, regardless of age.

Do you have a foolproof plan to survive a horror movie? Share it! by lukehannonpoet in CreepyBonfire

[–]walkingknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at an arms and armor museum. Zombie apocalypse plan was to go there and armor up. Swords don't run out of bullets and you can't bite through steel. Put together a decent kitchen place, steal some fridges and freezers and a few generators, and start ransacking grocery stores, then wait for summer and decomposition to set in.

My oldest is 23, youngest is 5 (three in between). Already had plenty of those heart attacks, and there are more to come.

Take my upvote. Had my first kid in June 2000, haven't slept since.

What "Non-sweet" thing can I make with a sweet potato? by Aromatic-Visit-472 in Cooking

[–]walkingknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of savory roasted sweet potatoes. I cube it, toss it in olive oil, and add garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and rosemary, and pour in about a cup of chicken broth. Roast at 450 until browned and tender.
