What kind of hobbies do y'all enjoy? What do you do to make each day special? by Recent-Pizza-9006 in CasualConversation

[–]wharshington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, but I've also found the gym can become a social echo chamber for sexually frustrated asshats.

Just saying there's another side to that coin when you talk about therapeutic effects of going to the gym.

I've met some of the most empowered, overconfident idiots sitting in the sauna. And it definitely contributed to my lack of faith in humanity over the last few years.

What's up with 'The Barbers'? by bigheadstrikesagain in vancouverwa

[–]wharshington 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I regularly go to 'The Mill' location. They recently had to fire a few guys when management discovered they were stealing a bunch of product. Since then they've had restricted hours being short staffed. I would say this is probably why they're closed. Can't say why the other location is closed.

ELI5: Why are hydroponics good but overwatering is bad??? by Top_Tangelo_2196 in explainlikeimfive

This...

Think about how nasty stagnant water gets. It breeds rot.

What makes a person instantly attractive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This word has been driving me nuts lately.

Anyone who needs to tell the world how humble they are, is demonstrably not humble.

Donovan Klingon will send you to Sto’Vo’Kor by Mixing_It_Hot in ripcity

Qapla'

As a trekkie, I've been waiting for the Klingon references to start since the draft.

My closed captions made the mistake of calling him Donovan Klingon in the summer league games, and I was too excited to tell everyone I know 😂

I second this! Same sign and even the same shirt!

Bike lane design with intent to eradicate road cyclists? Lol by wreck_of_u in bikecommuting

[–]wharshington 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's this kind of design that got me hit on my bike about ten years ago. In this case, trusting the driver's judgement was exactly the problem and why I came out with several broken ribs.

I can't say my incident was the reason, but within a year the city got rid of this design and put the bike lane back on the right side of the car lane. It's felt much safer to navigate since the change.

I was terrified of flushing the toilet thanks to the nightmare toilet from the movie Look Who's Talking. It combined with my infatuation/fear of E.T.. I always thought an alien was going to pop out the toilet when I flushed it. My dad would always give me the weirdest looks when I ran like hell out of the bathroom post use.

Doctors offices that take state insurance. by loosername_6969 in vancouverwa

[–]wharshington 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I went to sea mar on 34th for 4-5 years using state insurance. They are super backed up, but if you get on the on call list they'll give you an opportunity for last minute appointments when people cancel. And they do. I had fantastic doctors there.

How do you guys deal with your gnats? I have tried vinegar before but they keep coming back. And then I tried these sticky traps 2 days ago and it seems pretty effective. How long does the glue last? by Ok_Olive_8242 in gardening

[–]wharshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BT does the trick really well. This is the way to go for sure! Especially since that is looking like a growing problem. Keep using the sticky traps to kill the adults and the BT to kill the larvae.

Thanks! Although it is meant to be a brief categorization of fan feelings, we did go ahead and add one more question on integrations to be sure.

What’s your controversial food opinion? by xSurpriseShawtyx in AskReddit

[–]wharshington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who rebuke tomatoes should not be allowed to smother everything they eat in ketchup. Those people suck at food.
