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.
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.
Tell your friend they have a very bright future in a very dim part of the internet. For the best chances of success they will need a ring light and a conversational amount of Japanese, Chinese, and Russian.
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
I got a Lightbar brand “lightbar pro”, so good. The only downside to it is that there is a design flaw where there is no strain relief on the main power cable so twisting it will lead to failure. I don’t know if they fixed it since I bought mine, but some glue on the power wire should sort it out.
You get a nice wide diffuse light so you can see all around you and what you are working on. It isn’t the best for distance, but most of the time I am working I need to see my surroundings and what I am working on.
In all likelihood the food that was served came from a corporation that also feeds the prisons and jails, like Aramark.
Providing fresh and nutritious food is “too expensive”, so they put out a bid for a complete and cost-effective food service. Corporation picks it up. Due to corporations being legally required to make profit, they make the food as cheap as possible. End result is kids getting overly processed food that meets the minimum legal requirements, comes in a bag that is boiled or microwaved, and is very profitable for the investors.
Meanwhile the children of the people who make the decisions and who make money off those decisions go to a private school that is subsidized by everybody’s taxes and provide fresh made healthy meals.
All part of our lovely corrupt system of governance.
Good “Buy for Life” Brands
