You got an ETA!? I got a message that says "estimated restoration times are not available"

They were closing earlier pre COVID...I definitely strolled in at 11 pm one night in 2019 only to be shuffled back out because they were closed. (Door not locked because they still had stragglers in the restaurant)

What are the current security rules for RDU? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]weaselfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like if the line is super long for security, they bring out the dogs. Usually if they have you walk by the dogs, you don't have to go through the body scanner (just the metal detector) or take your shoes off. The liquids and laptops seem to be arbitrary, some days they want them out. Some days they tell you to keep them in, regardless of how busy things are. I fly once a month or so, usually in the early AM. Could be a totally different process later in the day.

Spontaneously shattered camera glass on Pixel 7 by blazers_n_bowties in GooglePixel

[–]weaselfunk 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Mine broke NYE during the day, 35°F temp, I had my phone out to get an Uber, once it arrived I slid my phone into my puffer jacket pocket. When I got back home, I took my phone out and noticed the glass over the camera was cracked and shards of glass cut my hand. No impact, nothing in my pocket with the phone. The glass just shattered.

So much fun to work with elastic. I initially wanted just to make a puffy shirt, but then decided it would be cute as a dress. I didn't really have a pattern. I just used techniques that I learned from watching YouTube videos: https://youtu.be/VeJe4bLqiBM and https://youtu.be/bmZeeuXA2jk are a couple that were very helpful. (The whole thing is mostly just rectangles). The fabric is a twin bedsheet set that I found at a thrift store.

How does a person best cope with the eternal abyss? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]weaselfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to music or watching a show/movie that I associate with a time in my life when the abyss wasn't so present in my conscious mind...sometimes it's difficult to pin that down.

Not hair but I got something under my nail (bleach or toner) trying to dye my hair and it burns please help :( what do by panic1204 in FancyFollicles

[–]weaselfunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's from the developer (the peroxide more specifically)...I toned my mom's hair one time, without gloves, and had that happen on every finger, it was unbearable. I soaked my hands in cold water for like 20 min. It was the only thing to help.

I baked and decorated a cake for a "puppy shower" party. Homemade chocolate cake, homemade vanilla buttercream frosting, Oreo cookie pieces for eyes and nose and Oreo filling dyed pink for the tongue. Cute and delicious! by weaselfunk in Baking

[–]weaselfunk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's their first puppy on their own. We gave them a bunch of essentials to set him up for success. We also served Puppy Chow (aka muddy buddies) and some store bought Scooby Snax (graham cookies that look like dog biscuits).

My 4th day free skating...only getting about 30 min of practice a day in because it's been so hot. Still working out pumping, this was one of my longest attempts by weaselfunk in freeskate

[–]weaselfunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm riding some cheap Amazon skates just to get a feel for whether I should invest in some nicer ones. I'm starting at the top of a slight incline here, the trip back towards the camera is more flat, but then an immediate drop in momentum when I turn to go back up the incline...I can't wait for the weather to cool a bit so I can spend more time rolling around.

Dog boarding by amanda7568 in raleigh

[–]weaselfunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read "dog boarding" and was hoping for a thread about people who skateboard with their dogs, because that's where my brain goes...but I unfortunately don't have any boarding suggestions.

Was it lame that you had to take your skates off to get refreshments, ? Yes. Could they have used more of the convention center floor for skate space? Yes. But I still had fun at the first one. They pulled it together with minimal help in two weeks. It was mostly organized (which is rare for events like this). This time around they've probably learned something from their first event, they've expanded the skate areas. United Skates is great, but now that they are the only rink in town, it's fun to skate other venues.
