Varies. It is kind of nice to the mail carrier who doesn’t have to walk up those steps and can deliver to the house that much easier. It would be a walking route, so I would bet the carrier would appreciate it if everybody had their mail box that conveniently located and avoiding slippery steps.
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
It is practical as rocks should float in mercury and it is safe if you use elemental mercury and don’t eat it.
It isn’t environmentally fantastic and you would want to remove it with a vacuum trap, which does make it a less than ideal option compared to a shopvac.
20% of oxygen is from bacteria and around 50% comes from plankton, the last 30% is mostly trees.
The oceans are the lungs of the Earth and climate change threatens to cause plankton to decrease in numbers or switch from carbon absorbers to carbon emitters.
How about a pill that makes you not care about being thrown into the fire of mount doom? It will also remove your libido and may cause rectal spotting.
Unless you have the stuff to pull a tire off the wheel and apply a proper patch-plug, every other option isn’t worth it.
Slime, fix-a-flat, or similar can destroy tire pressor sensors so you should only use them for a tiny hole and you have ABS pressor sensors.
The rubber plug style ones without a patch don’t hold up as well compared to rope plugs. I have had those fail but rope plugs kept sealed well enough to wear out the tire.
I keep a set of rope plugs and a tire inflator in the trunk, if a spare or those doesn’t sort out the problem then I’m getting a tow.
Unfortunately I have frequent periods where I’m not moving around or exerting myself up on scaffolding or lifts where the wind-chill is a dick. It gets into the single digits easily and my gear keeps me comfortable. There are also those days where you start off at 5am in the 20s and then it is in the 50s by the afternoon, so effective layering that can be shed is important.
I prefer to be warm and miserable than cold and miserable.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
I tried a cheap smartwatch to test out the concept to see if a smartwatch would add anything of value to my life before I spent hundreds on a good one.
I liked that I didn’t have to reach in my pocket to take my phone out to check the time, see what a text was, and take calls on speakerphone. The best use case was while I was working and that was very handy. The problem was that my job destroyed that cheap smartwatch in a couple weeks. I don’t have anywhere near the same utility outside of work. So no smartwatch for me despite wanting one, because technology.
Just went down the aliexpress rabbit hole again. Theres really everythinf for some of really niche things that i wouldnt ever buy, but some things really do look appealing. I wonder what do you guys use daily thats worth lets say under $20

If the human body didn't heal itself, how'd you be doing rn?
Your body doesn’t heal itself. Cuts need stitches that must be permanent. Bones need to be screwed together even if just cracked. How you doing?

Hi,...
Those of you who work 8+ hours outside in the cold regularly, how do you dress for the job?
What tricks do you have to keep warm?
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
