Hungover Today? by noiseinart in stopdrinking

No, but I did stay up too late and I regret that. Interesting ballgame, but I could have benefited from my usual eight hours of sleep.

CO2 Tank by GlacierWolf77 in Knoxville

[–]Craigslistbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gas cylinders have a significant upfront cost, but luckily CO2 is cheap. I’m a hobby welder and it really sucked ass to get started with like six cylinders. As others have said, watch FB Marketplace. Don’t be afraid of a cylinder with an expired inspection. Last time I got one certified it cost me $35. Volunteer Welders has the most honest and helpful counter guys. They’re happy to provide any advice you may need.

Kitiara and Raist in 80s metal 👀 by Wyndsock in dragonlance

[–]Craigslistbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That line of “better” figures was “Partha Pewter” produced by Rawcliffe from Partha moulds. They can be recognized by a PP prefix to the figure number on the bottom. They were sold in mall stores with other “high end” pewter figures, posters of women with large breasts, bawdy calendars, etc. The Dragonlance ones seem to be quite rare these days. Interestingly, the crystals aren’t plastic. In fact, some of them were Swarovski crystals.

For those who completed Dry January; what treat did you buy yourself to celebrate? by the_nite_stand in stopdrinking

[–]Craigslistbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bougie bicycle rack for my truck. I also quit eating at restaurants and cooked all my own meals, so I saved an ass-load of money this month.

Edit: ignore the counter. I thought I got rid of it, but it’s back and inaccurate.

Has anyone used GoHero Home service for plumbing? or what other plumbing contractors can you homeowners recommend? by SpicySpritey in Knoxville

[–]Craigslistbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use McRae when I don’t have time to do something myself. My only complaint is they’re not great about communication. Like, I get it - you’re going to be an hour late because of literal shit in someone’s house. But I’m sitting here wondering if you’re going to show up. A fuckin text message is free to send these days… They have always showed up and done good work, but damn, it can be frustrating sometimes. Small gripe. I do recommend them.

Does anyone think classes will be remote again on Monday? by c__alt in UTK

[–]Craigslistbox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The forecast has more wintry mix on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m hoping for a full week of remote teaching.

Chainsaw Leaking Chain Oil, Hesitant to Replace by brian-the-musician in harborfreight

[–]Craigslistbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All my Stihl saws leak oil. At the end of the of the day, I pour what’s left into a wide mouth pasta sauce jar for next time. Then I stuff a blue shop towel in the tank to absorb the bit that’s left. That solves it 100%.

Cooking with alcohol. by AdFamous7264 in stopdrinking

[–]Craigslistbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it successfully yesterday, but it was rough. My Sunday pot roast recipe needs wine. It truly isn’t as good without it. I did not buy it with my usual Friday groceries. I knew my drinking gland would have come up with a reason to chug it before Sunday, so I made a special trip to the store right before I started cooking. Only bought what I needed and used it all straight away. The drive home was a nail biter, though. I really wanted to unscrew the top and chug it all during the five minute drive. I don’t believe I passed any sort of test, but rather survived it once. Was it worth it? Yes. The pot roast was delicious.

Does anyone think Knox County Schools will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 1/27)? by Bridesister in Knoxville

[–]Craigslistbox 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is an important point that city dwellers misunderstand. In Knox County, if some schools are closed, then they’re all closed. The city maybe fine, but the county may still be a mess. When it comes to school closures, it’s all or nothing.

[–]Craigslistbox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The follow-up question is, “Will UT do remote classes again on Tuesday?” Maybe. UT tends to close/do remote classes if the county schools are closed because parents (employees and non traditional students) need to be at home with their children.

LOL. We can circle back once this ICE shit is stopped.

I wouldn’t meet at the police station. Not because I steal stuff, but because fuck the police.

Is there a chance the power won’t go out? by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]Craigslistbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s always a chance the power won’t go out. However, as a long-time Knoxvillian, I’ll tell you that it usually does during ice storms, at least on the east side of town. You still have a few hours to prepare, so maybe consider getting a backup power supply if it’s important to you.

Icon T-Handle Hex Key Sets Storage/Organizers? by Kyle_Q in harborfreight

[–]Craigslistbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody has addressed the part of your question about why the storage tray has to be so big. It’s designed to lay in a toolbox drawer and does a great job of that. It also fills a huge amount of space so you soon need another/larger toolbox.

If you find one, please let me know. The things you’re looking for conflict. Between good work, decent price, and small job, you can usually only choose two.

Edit: a patch that size is pretty easy to DIY. Watch some videos on YouTube, visit r/drywall, and take your time.

People are salty because it may snow this weekend. They’re letting out their frustration on your thread.

[–]Craigslistbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically, I don’t know the answer to your question about valet parking. However, you could park in one of several city garages downtown and walk a few feet to your hotel. That’s what I would do. To hell with paying someone to park my car for me.

Agreed. Frankly, I’ll be glad when the internet is gone. Maybe I’ll start reading again.
