I explored the hell out of those drains! I grew up in Dallas. They're way more than easy enough for a person to fit through. You could fit a damn car through them. They're actually a pretty famous tunnel in the draining community. Dallas is where I started my draining career lol. I'll have to dig up some photos of that drain and show you some time. If I remember correctly we called it elm Street tunnel. It was caked in deposits as it was so old. Even had stairs in it, was really strange. Surprised I never put that together. We used to smoke weed on the grassy knoll and then explore the tunnels...

Storm drains under the city. Started exploring them in the 90s and only stopped in recent years. Great for photography and a super fun hobby for someone who fucking hates people and likes being in total solitude lol. There's a bunch of online communities for it where I used share my photos and such. Even created a legend of sorts in Tulsa with a big ass project of painting the coordinates for every tunnel entrance in the city. It's called the drain atlas.

Anyone looking for a fun but semi risky hobby check out draining.

I googled it

The letter ð represents the voiced dental fricative, a consonant sound that is similar to the "th" sound in the word "father". It is also known as eth, and comes from the Old English and Icelandic letter of the same name.

Thinking the words, "just calm down" in the heat of an argument with my wife will actually work if I just try it enough times. Mathematically it should but it seems math doesn't care about that.

Name brands only matter to me when it comes to chips, soda, cereal bars (like nutri-grain), and shampoo. Maybe some others I'm not thinking of. But drugs are def not on that list. The only time I ever requested name brand drugs was when I got a script for Klonopin I didn't need back when I was an addict and only because I thought it would be cool to have the pills with the little K cut out of the middle, because like I said, addict.

At recognizing fire hydrants...

What a dumb headline. Not sure why I'm surprised.

No problem. My brother went to film school for 4 years and worked on several movies and shows as a PA but it wasn't his thing. He's always made YouTube videos about his interests and finally decided that's where he wants to be. He got incredibly lucky landing this gig but the main reason he did is because of his education background so she has a better shot than most. I'll ask him today if he has any other resources I could share with you. If he does I'll let you know. Good luck!

My brother works for a really big YouTuber and he got the job by answering to videos he put up asking for applicants. As far as I know this website is a scam to get people to do the work for free. Tell her to look for videos that are asking for editors, writers, etc.. also check YouTubers websites like Patreon or wherever they might post.

No offense but I wouldn't pay $49 for that. Maybe $48.75, but not $49.

Joey was the best. I came here before Joey died, but the day it died for good I only went to Reddit once. I talked mad shit to a particularly horrible mod and got my account permanently banned. Haven't looked back since.

I sure wish codesforliving would create a joey for lemmy. I'd pay for that again in a heartbeat. One of the best apps I ever had.
