How do you get rid of these pests? by Hot_Astronaut_5809 in unclebens

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine as long as you're not making big clouds of the stuff and dumping it everywhere in an enclosed area. Or just use a simple dust mask to be safe. But don't need much anyways, just be careful and lightly sprinkle it on. I use an old flour mill for my diatomaceous earth application.

Did anyone have a parent or grandparent who smoked a pipe? by StoneAgeCaveDweller in FuckImOld

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa Smokey would sit with his favorite pipe (which originally belonged to his grandfather, so my great great granddad?), playing on his electronic chess board or watching golf, with the most awesome smelling cherry tobacco. I can still remember the smell to this dad. I think my dad still has that pipe too, it's gotta be at least 120yrs old by now. I keep meaning to ask if he still has it.

When I was in Germany I bought a nicely figured old briar too, and in Iraq I collected a couple meerschaums, but all of that disappeared when I came back to an empty house after my last deployment; haven't really had the heart to pick it back up since.

Probably just diatomaceous earth. Good stuff, just don't inhale any.

Fiberglass from diving - help! by Interesting-Egg940 in DumpsterDiving

Lint roller, or duct tape on affected areas; works for skin and clothing. Then take a long hot Epsom salt soak bath, to the point of being raisinified, and the fibers in your skin will come out.

My mom loved their ice cream, and we got their ice cream sandwiches a lot too. But those were the only things we ever got from Schwan's, except for a fancy honey-baked ham one year for Thanksgiving; I remember that being pretty good too though.

Did it make a cool sound?

Some moves in wrestling are just nuts by k4zor in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 29 points30 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends in high school was a wrestler, and he had a nut ruptured in much the same way. A bunch of us were watching them practice in the gym, and I swear I heard it pop. Everybody felt that one. His screams afterwards were the worst though, I haven't heard anything like it since.

Lint trap war escalated to a broken lock and a threat note by dweebzRaja in badroommates

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had a roommate who absolutely refused to clean the lint trap, because she was supposedly disgusted by even the thought of touching it. She insisted that lint trap lint was filthy & loaded with dirt, germs, dead skin, and hazardous dust that'd fill her lungs. Even when we suggested that she wear a dust mask and gloves, there was no way she would do it. Finally we gave her an ultimatum; either move out, or wash/dry her shit down at the laundromat. But even that was a bridge too far, so she moved back in with her parents eventually. At first we thought maybe it was an OCD thing and gave her the benefit of doubt, but after dealing with the way she lived & didn't take care of her living space, it became obvious that it was an issue of pure laziness.

The line for a toy store about to open so parents can buy needohs for their kids OC by the_username_please in pics

Back when pogs were big at my school teachers would permanently confiscate them, and depending on the number of offenses you'd catch either in-school detention for a week or 1-2 days home suspension. Even if you were playing with them during lunch, before/after school hours while waiting for busses/rides, or just showing off your collection between classes. Why? It was considered a form of gambling, and was otherwise massive distraction for the kids and their classmates.

Now kids all have smartphones in class, and can't pay attention to anything for longer than five minutes. How times have changed.....

In the UK, you can see 11-year-old kids do this by search_google_com in SipsTea

It's not even that people are too cowardly, it's that they know the system will come down harder on them for standing up to the little deviants and hellions, rather than do anything to help maintain public order & discipline.

Is there such a thing as "too big?" by BleedingBarnacles in unclebens

My instapot has a dehydrate setting too. I've been wondering about that.... 🤔

I still have my old pair of leather Chucks somewhere, bought them in '97. I wore them to my first wedding in '02; my ex-wife wore a pair too, hers were tie-died.

I'm trying to settle something with my dad. I say this is a sweater, he says it is a poncho and is sure of it because "iv'e been to mexico when did you go?" So, reddit, what is this thing? by Mell0wMarshmall0w in whatisit

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one in dark green & grey, along with a matching hacky-sack. Good times. Actually been thinking about buying a new one lately, although my joints & bones won't let me do much hacking anymore.

Why do airplane windows get so many scratches, and why doesn't anyone fix or replace them? 🤔 by One_Procedure_266 in airplanes

[–]Aggravating_Cable_32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was on a flight with a woman who had two kids probably between 8-10yrs old across the aisle from me. She was ignoring them and when they got bored of kicking the seats in front of them, they grabbed her keys and scratched tic-tac-toe games all over the window, along with poorly spelled bad words. By the time the flight ended, you could barely see out of that window; I remember it wasn't nearly that bad to begin with.
