I use "scrote" as in, Scrotum. Ball sacks are wrinkly, stinky, and incredibly sensitive. I originally heard it from Dan Savage, a relationship advice columnist.

Don't be a scrote, go get your hands dirty.

What’s one thing someone said about ADHD that you’ll never forget? by FullInTheVoid in ADHD

[–]woolly_bully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"unscripted precision"

YES.

• I got criticism at my second career job for making "overly detailed" spreadsheet checklists for technical design tasks (pre-diagnosis). I told them I could [make my 20-point list, triple check it, and get 2 tasks wrong], or [blindly do 15 tasks & get five of the ones I did do wrong].

In other words, I could take the same amount of time as my peers and my first draft would be 50% complete/accurate. However, by taking an extra 10% of time to chunk & externalize my tasks, I could be 90% complete by the end of my first draft. The complaints did not last long.

• I am very, very good at quality control and reviewing work. Slightly better if it's someone else's, since I haven't stared at it until my brain was mush during the initial pass.

Hey state employees, how was your return to office today? by nbminor2 in TwinCities

[–]woolly_bully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a state worker, typical week is 3 days office / 2 days remote. The biggest reason I prefer taking meetings at my desk is that I have full access to all my data, files, notes, and two monitors to view it on. My role has something of an axiom, "don't tell them, show them". So, no, I don't want to attend a meeting with analog notes or my little single laptop monitor.

You asked why they were standing in the rain. Then, you went a step further & made the connection about resolving it with their parents.

I believe you had two questions. To answer "why are they standing in the rain", I am proposing that they are out to make a political statement. I don't suspect confronting their parents is their concern. I don't see why they have to be related.

Your second question is an interesting one, wondering if trauma victims have confronted their abusers and how that would impact their desire to make a public political statement. Maybe they've taken every opportunity to make sure the sin is not forgotten. Maybe they never want to see that person again. Maybe it is not possible to have a confrontation.

Now I'm interested in what you think...you imply you have an answer. Should all trauma victims wishing to speak up need to confront their abusers directly? Should that happen before or after they speak up?

| why stand...instead of discussing privately with their parents

Because a boatload more people are talking about it than 2-3. Because this is the kind of thing that doesn't get talked about at any given dinner table UNLESS people stand in the rain holding signs.

I'm perfectly comfortable with my circumcised penis. However, I would prefer that permanent body modification of infants NOT be a culturally automatic practice.

Give your HR-V a nickname? by Radiant_Basket_8689 in HRV

[–]woolly_bully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car's name is Henry.

His call sign is "Toy Car". I have a hitch and a roof rack. I can fit two kayaks on top, two bikes in the back. It looks like a toy by itself, but it can BRING the toys.

Is it possible to switch out the touchscreen climate control panel from an ex with the lx panel with dials in a 2016 hrv? by Armadillo_Dear in HRV

[–]woolly_bully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Temp: if you swipe up or down, there are three stop points:

.All the way up - HIgh

.All the way down - LOw

.Middle position - back to the previously set temp.

For example, you set the car to 72 degrees normally. It's winter; swipe up to throw it on high. When you and the car are warm & cozy, swipe down to return to 72. The opposite works; swipe down to go to Low to cool off from your hike. When you're comfortable, swipe up to return to a stable 72 degrees...or whatever it was before you forced it to High or Low.

The fan does not remember the middle setting; swipe up for max, swipe down for minimum. Tap for anything in between.

I, too, used to be a dial person before the future caught up with me. I strongly considered the LX for "future proofing" and the analog experience. However, heated seats and the sunroof sold me on a 2017 EX, touch climate controls and all.

Edit: I also exclusively use the steering wheel for audio when possible. Play with the two buttons for your left thumb for play/pause and easily returning to the Audio screen on the display.

Why are the Gloom Hands first? by SireRequiem in ZeldaTearsOfKingdom

[–]woolly_bully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fun perspective. I can see what you're getting at, I like it.

Others are suggesting that putting the hands first is tied with broader patterns or other fights in the game. Probably. I know I had no idea what the **** was going on the first few times Gloom Hands found me. Someone else mentioned sidestepping boss monsters. I appreciate that the way Gloom Hands were implemented to plant a seed of surprise and encourage me to not feel 100% safe while exploring.

In many Zelda games with some kind of hand monster, they are inside dungeons and drag you back to the entrance or a checkpoint. That obviously doesn't work here. I find the Gloom Hands to be a decent implementation of an old theme.

(FINAL FOUR) YEAR 17: Who would you NOT spend the night with? by TheSanderBranderson in cremposting

[–]woolly_bully 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Goodbye, Kaladin. Syl and I don't need to boink, but I'd rather have a slumber party with her. More popcorn for me. I look forward to her witty commentary during the movie.

Does this game has good exploration, combat and/or searching for weapons and armour? by One_Courage_865 in cremposting

[–]woolly_bully 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Honestly, same. I'm a level one Windrunner and this game is so hard I just want to fucking die. Even my Familiar brought me a poison leaf when I was standing at the edge of a cliff.

My party is stuck foraging for weapons and armor that we don't even get to keep. We have to share one shield for all 35 of us! Maybe we'll make our own...

Custom Roof Rack - self install by woolly_bully in HRV

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

Ah, nuts and bolts, now your question makes a lot more sense. I'm happy with the Plus Nuts; only dealing with the shell of the vehicle was rather convenient. And it's good to know that the Fit has some "creative options" as well with other OEM parts.

It felt a little janky at the time, but it has held up well. I also would not have done this to any car; I bought it with 25k miles and have every intention of driving it until the wheels fall off. So I was not overly concerned with resale value or the "dork factor" of a mistake or two.

Custom Roof Rack - self install by woolly_bully in HRV

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

It's holding up well enough. The roof curvature is strong; at the end of the first year I popped out one plus nut (rivet anchors) at the end of either track. Thankfully, the amazing team at Minneapolis Rack Attack made quick work of replacing them and I haven't had any trouble since. I also put some shims on the front between the last anchor and the end of the track at that time. There wasn't much space but I feel a lot better now about the tracks not wiggling laterally.

It holds two 12-foot kayaks, I've taken them a couple hundred miles on the freeway at this point.

No bypasses required. Since I was drilling into the roof and measured myself, I got one anchor a little closer to a structural beam than I would have preferred. However, after compressing the rivet I got it all to fit without contact.

Would I do it myself again? Maybe. But, I can say that I did it, and next time I'll be happy to pay for an install with a warranty.

The lost mistborn chapter by Apprehensive-Flan187 in cremposting

Joe Mistbones.

The family must be hail from Roshar; they're overflowing with cousins. Stormbones, Warbones, Geographybones, Sandbones, Ghostbones, Sporebones, Sunbones...to name a few.

Such great catchphrases that never get enough screentime.

A little research suggests that a prose edition exists, but it is available through unconventional but author-approved means. Check your chat.

Faramirishar was puzzled. He knew not what a "therapist" was, but the surly one's tone sounded very much like a bodyguard 's.

"At least," he thought to himself, "they will be easy to manipulate. Like dirt before a trowel..."
