Ah yes, people love it when another person has such a weak constitution that they can’t handle the smell of incredibly common drinks

I’d rather be assumed attractive than to remove all doubt.

Go hangout at a Starbucks in a target if you want to meet women, they’re certainly not going to wander into your bedroom.

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.

Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.

The person is very human, yes.

Man, aneurysms are terrifying.

They’re often undiagnosed because they can develop over time and regular MRIs and CTs without a reason aren’t really a thing because they’re expensive.

One day you could just bump your head, go for a jog, or even sneeze and then boom, dead.

I owned one in blue, they’re very warm and comfortable

Unfortunately I tore open the right shoulder of mine last winter while stacking firewood.

looks like I’ll have to get one in brown now.

Something tells me this guy didn’t pay the tax stamp and give the government his exact address and fingerprints when he acquired that suppressor.

Especially because from the video it doesn’t look like he’s ever shot that suppressed pistol before, or he’d have fixed it to actually cycle the gun properly. Having your gun jam on every shot is not exactly ideal when you’re planning something like this, and it sure sounds like he planned everything else decently well.

Likely the suppressor was homemade and probably not test fired due to the risk of getting caught. That means this guy likely lives in an urban or suburban area where people are likely to report the sound of muffled gunshots. That only leaves most of the country as suspects.

Amazing how something in the news happens and people suddenly have never seen extremely common fashion choices before.

I have pretty much this exact coat, except it’s in blue, not tan. The hood is made out of cotton instead of the heavier denim/canvas the coat is made from.

I’ve owned several coats exactly like it over the years, I think all of mine were made by Levi, but I’m sure plenty of other manufacturers make similar styled jackets as the contrasting fabrics look nice and a thinner hood is more flattering.

Look at his collar in the photos, there’s no shadow or layer where the hood would go under the jacket like it would were he wearing a hoodie under a jacket.

Where in the world does it cost 1.27 million dollars a year to live?

What’s really wild is that multiple friends of the guy had been to his shop in the months leading up to the rampage.

None of them mentioned the custom tank he was building.

Pretty good friends.

Everything is edible, but only some things are edible multiple times.

I think everyone should learn how to sharpen a kitchen knife at least.

Dull knives are dangerous, and it really only takes an afternoon to get decent at sharpening a knife.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of lore about knife sharpening, like how you need really fine grit stones, or a whetstone being the best, when in reality you can get a shaving sharp edge from a 20 dollar diamond stone from a hardware store. Sure, a 4000 grit stone will get you a mirror finish and a more refined edge that will last slightly longer, but even an 80 grit stone when used properly, will get you a good edge that will last for months without any other sharpening.

It’s a single bevel.

Sharpen the angled side at the proper angle, and remove the burr by flattening the smooth side of the blade on a decent diamond stone.

I have my great grandfathers barber’s shears, and that’s how they’ve been sharpened for going on 100 years now. You need a stone wide enough for the whole blade, so that its uniformly flat, but other than that it’s pretty logical how they need to be sharpened.

That extends to all tools in my opinion.

Don’t borrow someone’s tools without their express permission, and don’t lend someone a tool unless you either know what they’re doing with it or you don’t care if it gets damaged.

Only had one that had an audible alarm, I just smashed it in my vice to shut it up.

Luckily never came across one of the dye pack ones.

I’ve always managed with pliers and a flathead screwdriver.

I have to take at least one of them off every couple of months because my wife shops at big box stores a lot and most of the employees around here don’t really give a shit.

They’re meant to be hard to remove in a store. If you find them on your merchandise while at your own home, it’s not exactly hard to get them off.

Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.

This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.

I do do traditional man things: woodworking, maintenance on the family vehicles, and I’ve been thinking of getting into machining as a hobby because I have a lot of hand-me-down yard equipment that’s showing its age and I might need to start making my own parts because eBay is looking kind of barren.

Anyway, none of these activities have ever made me feel “manly” I never understood what that means. I feel like myself doing either something I enjoy, or something that needs to be done. My wife always says that she likes that she married such a manly guy who can fix all this stuff and make furniture, but anyone with functioning hands and a brain can do this stuff, it’s not exactly hard. Having a penis doesn’t make you an expert carpenter or mediocre mechanic, working with wood and old engines does that.

Seems pretty likely that all those fires would cause a lot of soot that blocks out some of the sunlight, thus causing a global temperature drop

200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.

Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.
