We just did an in town move that was a big cluster and necessitated moving out of our apartment, in to a storage unit and with my inlaws for two weeks, then back in to an apartment. I did get a great opportunity to use my spatial skills to fit the entire two bedroom apartment in a 10x10 storage unit, fuckin crushed it. I like doing this stuff, but next time I'm hiring movers.

Managed to go 41 years without getting stung by a bee and just got nailed twice on my left hand. I'm probably deathly allergic and will likely be dead by morning.

nm posted:I have my wifi set up to just be strong enough that it works in my bedroom (pretty far from my router). However, my goddamn phone keeps latching onto it when I leave. My car is parked just far away enough that my phone thinks it has wifi, but it actually doesn't. So if I want to stream music or do google maps, I have two choices. Mine is "smart" enough to turn the WiFi on automatically when near a remembered network. You know like the restaurant 3 buildings down that is at 0.75 bars and simply drives my TCP/IP stack insane. It does it every time. It's also really really good at consistently choosing the busted network to try and use. 2 bars of 4g and busted rear end wifi? Guess everything is using the wifi! Oh the wifi works better now? I'm going to try and use the 4g... Oh it just went to no service *page load explodes because the web devs never conceived of the fact that a JavaScript function call can fail*

Funny you should say that, I went 27 years without getting stung. On Friday, I got stung twice in the rear end by yellow jackets and ended up in the hospital Epinephrine is a hell of a drug, by the by. I tore out my IV and was just generally an awful patient

bird with big dick posted:Talked to the insurance guy briefly this morning and he said they were taking the aftermarket stuff into account and said I was getting $750 for the Bakflip tonneau and $650 for the lift kit. Which means he didn't look very closely at the documentation I provided because this isn't an $899 Rough Country with those lovely spacers this is a $3800 Fabtech external reservoir coilover kit. They're at 49.3k for my truck (plus tax so total 53.4k). I told them I wanted 63k which is average price of 9 comparables on Autotrader and KBB and Progressive's own car buying service, +80% of aftermarket parts cost, plus tax. I'll meet in the middle and be happy but their number is BS because they're valuing my lift as a $899 rough country instead of a $3800 fabtech plus their list of three comparables includes one truck that for whatever reason sold for 6000 less than their other two comparables and I'm not getting screwed out of three grand just because they found one truck that was a piece of poo poo or something. Get rid of that comp and add 2 grand for the lift and we'd be at 58.2k and I'd probably take it. Otherwise we go to arbitration I guess.

I've been working on top of the cabin in my garden for a few weeks and there's dozens of wasps and I've not been stung once even when I brush them gently out of the way by hand, do you flail around and slap any insect you see like a petulant child?

I get stung by wasps quite a bit cuz I have a lot of palm trees that have to be trimmed and they make their nests in there. It hurts but not nearly as bad as a honey bee sting, and i haven't been stung by a honey bee in a long time, they are pretty docile and it takes a lot for them to sting you. Hell I'd rather get stung by a wasp than get bit by a fire ant I hate those loving things

Back when i was a kid and got my first motorcycle, I was on the interstate in traffic when a wasp went up the sleeve of my jacket and stung me repeatedly. Somehow I didn't panic and got the bike pulled over and got the wasp out of my jacket, my arm was covered with stings.

Yeah, there's going to be a series of rectangles across the top similar to the ones on the columns. They will have acoustically transparent cloth and cover the speakers. I'll color match the cloth and paint the area behind the TV. 65" TV in place for temporary use, I have it sized for an 85" set, but now that I'm seeing proportions, I think 75" might be a better choice. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Sep 2, 2020 |

I've got some ceiling speakers for 5.1, thinking about putting another pair in the ceiling before I close it back up to go 7.1. Subwoofer is an MFW15 from about 10 years ago when the company AV123 made a splash with direct marketing audiophile speakers. It's a beast.

When I was about 3 years old, just old enough to form memories, I got a bee sting right behind my ear. The sting swelled up, so I thought the bee was still there and just had a full blown meltdown. My entire family were there telling me I was safe but I kept feeling it and swatting at it and screaming and crying, and was inconsolable for about 20 minutes. Ever since, I have a basic phobia of all flying insects, and when I get buzzed by one I irrationally go running and flailing making weird panic noises that my friends all get a great laugh out of, unless I'm driving. Ironically that is the one and only time I've ever been stung by a bee. Got my pod all packed, then found out I can't call and have it picked up early. So I rushed for nothing, it gets picked up tomorrow.

My first and only bee sting happened at the ripe old age of 30. It sucked but the pain was tolerable, what was mainly on my mind was whether I was allergic, seeing as we were climbing a good 30 minute hike from the parking lot somewhere in CA. Edit: turned out I’m not.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:Stung by a yellowjacket on the bottom of the foot was probably my worst. When I was about 5, many years ago, there was a honeysuckle bush between the shed in the back yard and the back fence. Shortly after we moved in, I lost my ball into the honeysuckle, so I went in after it. You know what else was in the honeysuckle? Yellow jackets. I got stung by pretty much the whole nest. Thankfully, I'm not allergic (to anything, really - I'm exceedingly fortunate in that) so I survived with a ton of Calamine lotion. And now they don't really bother me. That is, I'm not afraid of them, but I don't gently caress with them unnecessarily. I'm not immune to them or anything, but it just, well, stings a bit, and the welt goes down in less than a day. Applebees is right - fire ants are worse. meatpimp posted:Klipsch crew checking in. I just got mine mounted into my wall unit. Good speakers. Would you mind coming over to my house for a bit?

I got nailed by a European hornet right on the loving nose when I was like 3. I still remember that experience vividly because of how traumatizing it was. Apparently they were nesting under the stairs to the deck and I pissed them off enough that one came right for me, landed on my face, and when I screamed "YELLOW JACK QUEEN BEEEEEEE" the fucker popped me right in the septum. I ran around screaming for a bit. My parents heard me and apparently assumed I was playing cards  I think my most recent sting was a wasp that got me right on the neck while I was riding my motorcycle. I looked back to make sure my wife was following me and when I turned my head that guy hit me right in the throat. I pulled over to check myself (and try to breathe) and apparently he was stuck in my collar and hosed me up pretty good in the back of the neck. Didn't bother me much though thanks to previous encounters with nature's assholes that have left me with an indifferent attitude towards stings. The worst I've ever got was probably when I was in middle school. My 2 sisters, dad, and I went for a walk in the woods. My youngest sister who was only like 7-8 at the time managed to step right on a wasps nest. I saw them swarm so I rushed for her, picked her up and hurled her to my dad like 10 feet away across the creek. I stood there pretty proud of my accomplishment of hucking a first grader further than I'd ever jumped while I got stung over 100 times. I felt sick from all the adrenaline but for the most part I don't recall it being all that painful. GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 2, 2020 |
