It was, yes.

The deceased wasn't the type that would want anyone to put on their Sunday best just for him, so it made sense. But when I mentioned it to my father, he commented that no one really wears suits to funerals anymore, or even weddings.

Growing up, my mom always, always cut my sandwiches in half to make two rectangles. I asked her why at some point, and she said when she was growing up, her mother always cut her sandwiches into triangles, and she hated it. So when she moved out, she basically vowed to only cut sandwiches into rectangles.

I hated the rectangles growing up, and cut all of mine into two triangles now that I'm on my own. ๐Ÿ˜† Funny how the world works, hahaha

The most recent funeral I attended, only the deceased's brother wore a suit, the rest of the family wore basically everyday clothes, as did 99% of the attendants. I left my suit jacket in the car because I felt overdressed.

THERE IT IS EVERYONE!!! Troll can't be happy unless they're moving the goal posts, now they need thorough context for each and every word Musk has ever said!!

To answer your question, despite you not asking it in good faith and then following it up with two uses of the R-slur: A female journalist raised legitimate criticism of Musk, and he completely disregarded everything she had to say. That's childish, and misogynist, since I'm sure if Daddy Trump or Papa Putin weighed criticism on him, he wouldn't have dismissed it.

So I answered your fucking question and gave you "sPeCiFicAlLy" what you asked for, so you're fucking welcome, troll, not that you know how to say "thank you."

And reported for use of the R-slur.

I'm not really interested in your bullshit anymore. There are tweets, from him. There are articles about him quoting tweets he's used highlighting everything everyone here us telling you. Fucking happy? Can you fucking comprehend now? They're his words, from his official verified X account.

"FYI I specifically asked for" GO FUCK YOURSELF. I specifically told you to fucking use your fucking brain and Google all of this, but you refuse, because you're a fucking troll just like Musk, whose cock you have so far down your throat it's tickling your taint.

I interpreted it as "You hold beliefs that directly contradict the work you're performing, therefore, you have a bias that needs to be shown wasn't a factor in your research by having your research successfully replicated by those who do not share your bias."

A Crusade was never launched on behalf of science, people were never burned at the stake because of science, babies are not still being mutilated at birth against their will (circumcision or genital mutilation of young girls) because of science, and AIDs was not spread unchecked across the world due to government's lack of science.

It's religion, it ruins literally everything, especially science.

He made "cis" a slur on Twitter because it upsets him that his ex who left him is trans, and he hates trans people. He's had plenty of tweets and posts complaining about pronouns, trans people in general, and so on.

I can't speak to the misogyny (but I'm sure it's there), but instead if arguing with people about you "jUsT aSkInG a QuEsTiOn" you could just Google "Elon Musk queerphobic tweets" and Google will supply plenty.

I did, and the first two results were articles from former Twitter/X employees claiming there were homophobic and anti-semitic attacks on the platform after Musk took over. So yeah... Not sure what you want anyone here to do for you that you can't do yourself via a Google search, you clearly know how to type, and the phrase I suggested is less characters than all your comments combined.

Edit: And then after you did some googling and found the answers, you could edit your comment to say, "Wow, hey guys, I was wrong, he really is misogynistic queerphobic piece of shit," and be done with it, instead of doubling down like a troll.

I disagree, it's annoying in general.

If I need to go around, say, a mail truck parked on the side of the road, the steering assist in our work van starts to rumble or shake or whatever it does. If there's construction, you guessed it, it doesn't understand that I have to cross over the line to continue driving, and if I have a turn signal on, the cop/worker directing traffic is going to expect me to go that way.

If a car is driving in the opposite direction and starts to ride/cross the double yellow lines, me moving over causes the vehicle to resist and fight me, potentially putting me into an accident because I didn't think to put my turn signal on in a split-second situation.

My car should not be able to, idk what word I'm looking for, override me? People need to take driving more seriously and stop handing off their responsibilities to a computer system/sensor that can not only fail, but also doesn't understand real world applications.

Then her death rests at the feet of the politicians who sold her the big lie. But that would hold Republicans accountable, and for some fucked up reason, we just can't have that in this country.

You're right, I made up all the numbers and stats, and wrote a long ass comment because I'm clearly just full of shit and a liar, my lived experience doesn't matter because you can sit behind your computer and pretend numbers on a screen translate to the real world.

I definitely didn't research after meeting with my therapist recently who urged me to look into my state's health insurance marketplace, I totally just made up all of the numbers, including my salary and my state's maximum income level for their Medicaid plan which I haven't totally been tracking since it was $17,583 back in like 2020.

Yep, you got me, it was all a prank. And I'm not giving location info to some rando on the internet who can't accept the reality he lives may not be the reality for everyone. For fuck's sake, John Oliver did a segment on the Medicaid gap several years ago, and nothing significant has changed for a lot of people. Guess we're all just wrong then, stupid us.

A blue one, not that that makes any fucking difference.

If you're referring to the woman who was killed during the January 6th Insurrection, she was a traitor. She was an Air Force veteran who took an oath upon enlistment that she would faithfully defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

And then when her guy didn't win, she decided she would forget her oath and try to overthrow the very Constitution she swore to protect. Honestly, fuck her, I don't wish she had died, but she's not a martyr, nor should she be.

Your reasoning is why Democrats never fucking do anything: it's all about the what-ifs. Republicans don't give a fuck about the what-ifs and they've accomplished countless numbers of their goals over the years.

So enough: if people want to try Insurrection 2.0: Electric Boogaloo, fucking mow them down like they so badly want to do anyone who isn't a fucking white, cis, heterosexual male who dry humps their Bible every fucking night thinking that makes them a good Christian.

Your logic and your comment are asinine, and you're completely oblivious to the other side of your coin: We should just do nothing because stopping fucking traitors from overthrowing their government because their dipshit lost may hurt the perception the American people have of their government. Yep, better just let fascism happen then because people may look at the government, the same one that drone strikes women and children in the Middle East, what, may be too fucking tough on terrorists and insurrections?

Please.

 

My cousin's girlfriend (they're both trades workers) recently brought up that she'd like if I (a woodworker) could make her some handles for her work files, as they're currently bare metal. At the time, I mentioned I'd probably use maple to make them, since maple tends to be more figured and visually appealing.

However, I picked up three pieces of hickory today for a figurative steal (I got them for $1 each). I know hickory is the gold standard for axe and hammer handles, but would they be a good choice for file handles? I imagine they would hold up better than maple since hickory is harder, and could potentially help with vibrations while using the tools, but if it's basically a moot point with such a small handle, I'll just got with what she'd find more aesthetically pleasing.

 

Hello all,

I bought a house a few months ago and am planning out improvements and such. When I had the house inspected, we discovered that this mysterious door in the basement was actually the entrance to a former bulkhead that was renovated over (a laundry room and small mudroom were built over it).

It's basically concrete walls/foundation with some exposed studs and beams along the top, some loose insulation and such, and then a set of concrete stairs connecting to the foundation/walls. My realtor suggested turning it into a wine cellar kind of thing, but I would prefer to use it as a lumber storage area for a side business I'm trying to build. To do so, however, I would need to remove the concrete stairs.

Can I just remove them (with power tools) without any damage to the foundation or structural integrity? Should I have someone come check it out first and make sure it's safe? It's wasted space currently, and I'd prefer to be able to use more of the space if possible.

Thank you for any advice/tips/etc!
