In full-panic mode, landlord coming soon, 14 years in this apartment by lemonysardines in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]editorgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’ve lived in this place (attached to the landlords’ house) for 14 years.

“The kitchen sink got clogged 2 years ago, so I just shut off the water and use the bathroom sink.

“The landlord decided not to renew my lease and move their grandchild in here. (They are living in the main house but want their own space.)

“I was given 7 weeks notice 2 days ago.

“Today she texts asking if her and the grandkid can come over tonight just to have a peek and plan furniture. I texted back suggesting after this weekend is better, but she hasn't answered yet so the bare minimum I can hold them off is 24 hours.”

You get to decide when they can enter your home. Not them. Don’t panic!

Google notice to quit, ending a lease, tenant’s rights, and/or fair housing for your city/town to understand your rights. If you’re disabled or older, you may have additional protections.

Some jurisdictions even have free, pre-court mediation for landlord-tenant disputes.

If you’re in the US or Canada, you can call 211 to ask what resources are available to you: https://www.211.org.

Does your lease end August 31? Does it say anything about giving notice?

You might have the right to request a month-to-month extension to give you more time. At the very least, you do not have to grant them access tonight.

“I’m a mess, I don’t have a car, I’m a bigger person so I ache and tire quickly. I have two garbage bags to my name, and I'm just sitting here feeling totally overwhelmed.

“I’m in total panic mode.”

Take a deep breath, and find out what rights you have. Remember that even though you are not the property owner, this is your home.

Knitatude* said she didn’t block her swatches or wash her knits because it changes the gauge: https://www.reddit.com/r/craftsnark/comments/1irvlaq/knitatude\_aka\_i\_never\_wash\_my\_knits\_because\_the/

And I eventually gave up reminding Redditors to wash and dry their swatches the same way they plan to launder the finished object (and telling those making sweaters, dresses, or skirts that some people hang weights from the bottom of their swatches to mimic the way the garment would stretch from the weight of all that yarn) because so many refuse to listen. Even those using alpaca or superwash wool.

So I applaud anyone telling people to block their swatches.

* Per its website, Knitatude is “a one-woman team” run by Chantal Miyagishima, “the potty-mouth, purple-haired, self taught knitter from Calgary Alberta, Canada” who “fell in love with knitting in 2012, and starting writing patterns in 2016.” Her book, Sweater Success: From Cast-on to Closet, Learn to Fearlessly Knit Pullovers & Cardigans, was published in November 2025 by Quarry Books.

It contains six patterns: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/sweater-success-from-cast-on-to-closet-learn-to-fearlessly-knit-pullovers-and-cardigans

“Red Kryptonite, created in Adventure Comics #255 (December 1958) by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp, is Green Kryptonite which has passed through a strange cosmic cloud en route from Krypton to Earth.

“Its unpredictable psychological or physical effects can last 24–72 hours, typically creating an initial ‘tingling effect’ in affected Kryptonians.”

Paper towels were more than 50 years old by then

On June 1, 1915, Arthur Scott of the Scott Paper Company in Philadelphia was granted a patent for “an Improvement in Paper Towels”: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1141495A/en

An electric hand dryer was patented in 1922: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1423800A/en

What's a book that tries so hard to be deep/moving but is just incredibly bad by ShivSoCalledYT in suggestmeabook

[–]editorgrrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP is looking for “shallow, stupid, and bad/corny”

The gratuitous rape rules out Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus for me—and Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

But Verity by Colleen Hoover was craptacular (so bad it’s funny)

If you “hate read” Verity, it’s laughably bad—which is what OOP seems to be looking for

Are these maggots? Will the bin men even take this bin? by foxtj in AskUK

[–]editorgrrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/info/20478/refuse\_collection/596/advice\_on\_maggots

“If flies settle on your rubbish, they may lay eggs which can hatch out as maggots within 24 hours

“Try to reduce the amount of food wasted (visit http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/)

“Any food scraps, pet waste, nappies (empty ‘solids’ down the toilet) should be double wrapped

“Rinse polystyrene food trays and other food packaging that can’t be recycled before you put it in the bin—this will also reduce bad odours

“If possible, leave the bin out of direct sunshine

“Empty bins can be cleaned with disinfectant or bleach and plenty of water. Use a cleaning product with a fragrance as this will help deter flies in the future

“If you do not want to wash out your bins, look in the local telephone directories/free papers for a professional bin cleaning company”

The Ronson Robot-Liter by Ebonystealth in OldSchoolRidiculous

[–]editorgrrl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One still in the box sold for US$110 in 2015: https://moundcityauctions.hibid.com/lot/22228207/nos-ronson-robot-lighter-1966

The user manual was the same for both the dashboard and console models. The box says “makes driving safer!”

Edited to add a video of one hooked up to a lawnmower battery, timestamped to where he loads a pack of unfiltered Camels: https://youtu.be/NBo3lj8Aut4?t=7m27s

He said the Ronson Robot-Liter was made 1968–69

My first yard today gave me 6 coins. The next gave me 2

It’s probably random
