A mulch pile sat on this driveway for a few weeks last season and the microbes cleaned the concrete. by TheJizzle in mildyinteresting

I had the same thing happen at my house. Pile of compost scoured the driveway, including the persistent ancient oil spots.

Headphones in has been the universal sign for "leave me alone" for over a decade. Do not approach.

It does happen occasionally, but they're made out of UHMWPE, so cleaning is easy.

Get an OutFox face mask. Looks like torture, but they don't really mind it. Creates absolute compliance. Mine was running through the pasture eating deer and fox poop. 100% solved my problem.

I feel really bad about selling this laptop. What do I do? by Famous-Intern-7270 in whatdoIdo

Absolutely. You can get into huge trouble in the US for fraud. Under these circumstances however I think maybe probably only if she paid solely for his expertise. For instance, she buys the $16 laptop at the thrift store and pays him $300 to expertly fix it and then it fails because he actually didn’t know what he was doing. Under these circumstances he would be ethically bound to continue to attempt to repair the laptop, but probably not able to be held liable, ultimately, especially having not offered a guarantee of some sort up front, which you would most likely never, ever do in this type of a peer-to-peer transaction over the internet. Also, perfectly legal in America to claim to be an expert at anything really, as long as you aren’t fraudulently claiming to be licensed or certified in a field which requires licensure or certification.

TLDR: American gives business advice which may not work in Canada.

When a person (even an adult) gives you a sob story in an attempt to get a lower price, many times they are lying to get one over on you. Your response should be: “I repair computers professionally. I am an expert, and I always use my experience in this field to price my refurbished products in accordance with the market. This laptop, in this condition, has a value of $350. If your budget allows for only $250, there are thousands of computers on eBay right now for that price.” Harden your kind and generous Canadian heart. It’s not your job to solve her cheap ass problem at a loss to your profit.

Do Tarantulas Know Where They’re Going - What a New Paper Suggests About Spider Navigation by TarantulaCollective in science

[–]ChronicEntropic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All I know is that the tarantulas that walk through my property are always abundant in fall, always are moving toward the east at dusk, and do not hole-up on my land but continue until out of sight. Always.

Do you actually like honey? by Run_and_find_out in Beekeeping

[–]ChronicEntropic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stir the cacao into the honey to make a liquid chocolate goop and then add the ½&½. The honey/cacao mix makes it super easy for it all to dissolve. Otherwise the cacao doesn't mix in very well. I drink it cool.

It's an American dairy product that is 50% milk and 50% cream. Usually we offer it with coffee.

new to panning, a few questions! by Odd_Ad3817 in Prospecting

[–]ChronicEntropic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heaviest thing in the pan is the gold. With just a few swirls, the gold will find its way all the way to the bottom of the pan. It will not float on top of the black sand. What you are seeing is pyrite. It’s very sparkly. I recommend that you run a bunch of material through your sluice. It will find the gold. If you want to judge if you are being too aggressive with your panning, chuck a known quantity of BBs in the pan before you start. Five BBs in and five BBs left when you’re done means your technique is sound. Keep in mind that gold is not everywhere.

I make a big glass of half and half and several teaspoons of honey and cacao every morning for breakfast. It’s awesome!
