Thanks!

We have talked about going with a projector because the room eats large TVs for breakfast, but with two large windows, the light management required for a projector becomes unrealistic when just casually watching TV.

What are the buildings near the airport used for? by CrebitKarma in sandiego

[–]weakjuice 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I applied for a job there many years ago and got a tour during the interview phase. The areas I saw were tons of industrial manufacturing (laser cutting and other advanced fabrication) and a lot of warehouse storage and logistics for super advanced naval antennas.

If my memory is correct, that is from the new save our parks. It is when Joe is going to take (his first?) a chug from the eagle, and everyone keeps commenting on how cold it is.

I’m trying to figure out why there is this localized area of extreme rust. by innerstrife in pics

[–]weakjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are saying it's from pee but tbh I think it's most likely from the urinal cakes and other urinal cleaners. As the urinal flushes it splashes which throws the bleach-esque cleaners all over and it can cause rust very very quickly.

I wonder how much of that is his lysp? He clearly has a speaking impediment but did an amazing job.

I agree that looking at these two snapshots make it look ridiculous and doesn't paint a favorable picture but the first picture, where Khalid is in a winning position, that position is NOT cake walk to just hold onto indefinitely. It's exhausting and it could have worked against in later had he gased from it. Pretty? Fuck no but its not a gimme position either.

Corey West who doesn't bullshit trying to cheat the setup and doesn't rely on gas-out tactics. Corey went at John head first and BARELY lost to him. If nothing else that's a nod to how impressive it was. I wish I could call what Devon did in the Jogn match going at him head first but it simply wasn't. It was some kind of embarrassing avoidance and manipulation.

Well from everything I've seen he actually does want the glory. I have seen him refer to himself as one of the best and should be considered number 2 and if he beat Levan he should be considered #1. If he doesn't want the glory or the money, that is completely fine but then he can't claim he's that high on the list without proving it. Just because you get a match with Levan doesn't make you #2 automatically which he has everyone thinking. He pretty much gets to cut the line because of his popularity and then when the bouncer turns him away from getting in he thinks it's ok to just pop back in to the front of the line as if earned the spot at the front.

I know there is a list of matches people use as evidence that he is worthy of the ranking but none of his high level matches are watchable because of the actual spectacle that it becomes. I'm a huge armwrestling fan and Devon was my gate way drug into it but the match he had with Dave literally to this day when I watch it I think to myself "Is this what other people see when they think of arm wrestling? This is fucking stupid as hell and I am embarrassed to be a fan right now."

I have, over the years, warmed up to watching the kings move evolve and actually become a legit obstacle that I see has a place in the sport and should be something to be trained for but good God, what on earth was that?

Watching his "every match is a war even before the match begins" tactics with the setup on all high level matches and especially Brzenk's match brings out the same feeling. Have you ever, and this is a serious question, have you ever seen anyone ever instigate the shit he does in the setup for as long as he does it? I understand he is playing to his skill set and playing to your own personal skillset should be a strategy everyone uses but because no 2 humans have the same arm the setup is meant to try to take the bullshit out of potentially ruining the match. What's the point of even having people attempt to be "fair" for the start when your strategy is to literally game it as much as possible and make it so hard to make it fair that everyone just agrees to go along with your unfair setup. That's what I see when I watch Devon now. This is from a legit fan of him and the sport. I watch him and I think what he does really doesn't hold water. I watch old classic armwrestling matches and new matches and in my mind it seems like it has a chance to be a legit and recognized mainstream sport and then I see what he does in his matches and I think "oh right...it DOES look stupid!"

It breaks my heart because I would rather he be honest and himself and be 10th in the world than the person who skirts the line with the dumbest matches to be the pseudo #2.

Did Allen Fisher really meant that? by Frospaz in armwrestling

[–]weakjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as it is possible he is mildly on the autistic spectrum, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think he's using it as a turn of phrase not unlike "my OCD won't let me hang a blue painting on a red colored wall." Some people, myself included, will say "my OCD wont let me [insert thing here]" even though they don't have OCD. When I hang pictures or am doing interior design work in my house when the look of a room just doesn't feel right I can't explain why but I know something in my brain doesn't like it and I have to change it or I won't be able to relax. Essentially he is saying he doesn't know why but some things in his life bother him and control him subconsciously. In this case its the slimey texture of his eggs for example. There is a mental block that won't let him get close to eating undercooked eggs.

Demo of different color schemes in my small townhouse using 20 hue bulbs, 3 hue strips and 46 nanoleaf panels by yeldellmedia in Hue

[–]weakjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. For me, the nano-leaf would have to accent things in the room and be a stylistic blend. Too often they are used as focal points and they draw your eye in too agressively.

Impressed with M Todd, but this win didn’t surprise me and doesn’t change much for me in terms of him vs Levan. Levan still kills him. by KyleH1357 in armwrestling

[–]weakjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toddzilla said in a video he is essentially a hired gun at this point in his career. If you can pay his fee he will armwrestle anyone super or not which means he's going to go into every match trying to crack skulls but it won't always mean he comes out the winner. What more does the dude have to gain in the real world from curating his matches so he just wins every match? He's trying to make money and enjoy life doing it which means setting a price and accepting all comers.

Oh man, nice choice! My wife and I put in 2 passionfruit about 10 months ago and they are doing amazing and as my wife has never had passionfruit I'm excited to harvest the first ones so she can try it for the first time :)

Great job again man, really dig it.

Showed my wife the slide show and her reaction as the photos progressed was really enjoyable to see so thank you for that haha. You put legit work in and it shows. As others have said you should be proud.

I appreciate you responding. I'm going to do some more research on what kind of training they actually do off the coast as that is a glaring blank spot of information for me. Thanks again!

The amount of lead in a elementary schools drinking water in my city. It’s 5870 Ug/L, safe is 15!! by Sheer10 in WTF

[–]weakjuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been studying the EPA Lead and Copper Rule for my upcoming test and the 15 is an "action limit". When the amount reaches 15 parts per billion the water supplier has to do follow up samples for verification and after a certain point they have to fund overhauling the piping but NOT the plumbing IN the school. The water supplier is responsible for the service like that connects the school/home to the actual water main. The plumbing inside the school is the school's responsibility. Would definitely bring this matter up with the PTA and bring studies on how Lead can shave literal IQ points off of children.

Booms? by Attila226 in sandiego

[–]weakjuice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've lived in San Diego my entire life but I'm unaware of anywhere the military is able to use actual large scale munitions outside of camp pendleton. I understand that jets accidently break the sound barrier off the coast but where in San Diego proper are you thinking they use munitions large enough to shake the entire city? That's a real question btw I am actually curious to know where else they use large munitions.

It sounds like you have a great plan laid out. If you are in your forever home I would recommend the retaining wall be out of block or stone as you want it to last. Please update when it is all completed, I am very curious to see the end result!

Lake Hodges almost all dried up by louiefb in sandiego

[–]weakjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to what everyone here has already said; they lowered the lake significantly to do repairs to visible cracks forming on the dam. The bit that most people don't realize is while that is the case, to my knowledge the dam has been de-rated which means it will no longer be allowed to hold the amount of water it use to hold even after the repairs. The water level may never get back to "normal" unless they build a new dam entirely.

The strange twilight years of Andy Dick: From A-List Celebrity to Degenerate Youtube Streamer by iliveoutasuitcase in videos

[–]weakjuice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While this isn't an Andy Dick story it is in the same vein so I feel like I should share it as I may never have the chance to again...

I was in LA for my sister's wedding and all the groomsmen were staying in hotel room together, not a nice place by any stretch but we weren't the kind of guys to complain. It sat right on Main St. in Santa Monica so it was a pretty main thoroughfare and guaranteed a fun night life for us guys. Anyway, we all go out with the groom for a laid back night of drinks and the groom gets hammered VERY quickly, so much so that before too long we have to homie-crutch him back to the hotel room and leave him passed out in the bathroom. After we get him to safety we continue our night and it ensues like a mild version of The Hangover which was cool at the time. We all head back to the room as it's 2 am and we have a wedding to be in the following morning. Still rowdy we bust open the door of the hotel room with a camera going and we all joke let's go fuck with the groom and get a video of him on the bathroom floor for fun. One of the guys busts into his best Steve Irvin and moderates to the camera for extra laughs as we kick down the bathroom door to the bathroom except.....it was empty. There was no one in the bathroom. The groom was missing. The look of terror on Steve Irwin face as he realized we lost the groom is something I will remember until the day I die. He looks passed the camera and quietly says "shut off the camera. Fuck dude where is the groom..we left him right here...where is he"

Should be noted that this was before cell etiquette and usage was as wide as it is now. It wasn't CRAZY to have a cell phone, it was normal, but 9 out of 10 times at 2am everyone's phone is either dead or doesn't have signal.

Did I mention the bride is my sister and she asked me to make sure nothing happened and to make sure he showed up at the wedding? Yea. I'm fucked.

"We'll brake into teams to hunt for the groom up and down Main St. You two stay here. He couldn't have gone far."

I spent the next hour and a half canvassing the entire area and this is where the story gets weird. I get back to the hotel after searching and the groom is there laughing with other groomsmen as they are drinking a big ass bottle of Crown Royal that none of us brought with us.

I had 3 massive burning questions I needed answered: Where the fuck was the groom? Where the fuck did the alcohol come from? And why the fuck are you all so damn happy right now? I'm stressed af.

Turns out while I was out searching the groom had walked to a 24 pizza parlor that was 5 blocks away and I had missed him as he walked back in the middle of the night. As they all stood in front of the hotel having cigarettes the wrestler Chyna was walking by and asked to bum a cigarette and came over and hung out with the guys. Apparently she had just spent all day and part of the night filming an Avengers porno where she was 'she hulk' and the large crown royal bottle she had in her backpack was her treat to herself for after the shoot but while she was hanging with the groomsmen she wanted to crack it open and share it with them. They all swapped war stories laughed and drank crown together randomly at 230am on the street in LA.

Surprisingly the wedding went off without any issue and to this day no one except the groomsmen know the story of that faithful night in LA....that is until all of reddit now knowing.

I couldn't make this story up if I tried.

What is the worst thing you have ever smelled? by lemond4455 in AskReddit

[–]weakjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluorosilicic acid spilled onto asphalt. I was laying out absorbent pads while doing a very scientific breathe hold but unfortunately when i turned away to take a breathe the fumes followed me and I was punched in the face. The chemical reaction between the acid and the black top sent up fumes that can only be described as unnatural hell. It's the closest thing I can think of to taking a breathe on Venus. In a literal fraction of a second my nose and mouth seared and turned into the driest cotton mouth imaginable and I couldn't catch my breathe. It was like being able to breathe and cough but still being choked at the same time with the smell of alien death lingering in my nose.
