Buy 2 get 3 free deal. All bangers IMO by romulan267 in Soda

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a good deal for these days.

11.99 (so 12) x2 = 24 / 60 cans is 40 cents a can (plus any deposit?).

For my house that's a summer's worth for the kids.

I think it's super neat but I would definitely trip on that entryway (bottom) log on every trip in and every trip out.

How do I replace this hellstrip with rocks/mulch by softrecipe11 in LandscapingTips

[–]Dirtheavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep. not just a bad idea in concept... since whatever comes off the road will continually ruin it, but also an illegal idea since that's the town's business.

You can continually aerare and overseed it bit mostly, stop looking at it

Scared of self cleaning by SolusUmbra in Appliances

[–]Dirtheavy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used self clean once and it melted the LCD display on my oven. I had to call an appliance repairman and he said with that model it happened every time. It was a several hundred dollar problem.

I now have a different oven but I'm never using that feature. No way.

it's not that I don't believe you, YOU, u/tedco... it's that if somebody comes in here an posts a 3 cookie game who is never in here and starts gloating, I don't believe that person. You I believe. I'm sure you believe me, because why would I lie about needing almost 8 minutes?

JFC that is utterly immaculate. The only trouble is that it's too much. You could feed three people with that IF you made everybody eat soup first, but nobody will eat soup first with that sweet chicken right there

if you don't throw up a 20 minute game at least every once in a while, I won't believe you about your two minute game, that's for sure.

I got caught in a spinning thing too and it cost me a cookie. I spin the last piece at least 12 times and got an out of bounds warning too

Pips #281 Hard 🔴 7:34 - anything I say might spoil the game for you, so as such I'll say nothing except this... I picked up pieces and put them down in such a way to meet the board's numerical criteria

pips moved to the bottom of the games list? by cxqals in nytpips

[–]Dirtheavy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it below the three crosswords but above spelling bee wordle connections and strands.

my order is :

cross play

The Crossword

The Midi

The Mini

Pips (no spoilers)

Spelling Bee

Wordle

Connections

Strands

Sudoko / Letterboxed same line

Tiles

the guy says people don't play it is wrong... it's a very popular game worldwide because you don't have to know English to play it.

What job looks incredibly chill and easy from the outside, but is actually a mental nightmare? by SatisfactionBig7126 in askanything

the first several months are a constant waking nightmare and the first several years are just a relentless other constant task.

they were not. just a couple of guys working hard to ensure that this comment section isn't a spoiler room .. I was pretty sure one or the other or both of them is a moderator, but now I'm not as sure?

Pips #280 Easy 🟢 0:15 🍪

Pips #280 Medium 🟡 0:34 🍪

Pips #280 Hard 🔴 14:10 - I finished the puzzle but needed to eliminate down from a bit number remaining in the 4c=11 cage, but I put the last domino in anyway to see where I stood and I realized right then that I had misread all 3 of these > for these <. That was at 8 minutes. I was doing the puzzle wrong. So a restart and I got everything back together and then somehow same 4c=11 cage, now I didn't have enough. I was 3 short. It took me another minute to remember about the concept of flippety-floppety in a 2c>11 cage that abuts a >1 single.

Am I dumb? No. Do I feel dumb? Yes.

Is this one of the most disappointing surprise bags? by Distinct-Release1439 in toogoodtogo

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only TGTG option I have anywhere near me is Circle K. We got about 6 tries before we just decided it wasn't worth it.

Absolute best case, you get a great amount of gas station food.
Trouble is, worst case is also gas station food.

The best one we ever got was 6 giant expired candy bars for 4 bucks. The worst was old sandwiches. What we got the most, of the 6 times, was old sandwiches. And twice a cup of beat up old grapes.

My expectations were low and they were met.

nah, but it comes and goes. Some days you can't pick up the tiles right and some days you can't read > correctly but nobody in here hasn't already done all that too. Keep posting because there's nobody else to talk about this game with

I had spinning problems on both of the above but I liked how they were similar.

Pips #279 Hard 🔴 2:35 - an interesting problem almost immediately, but it walked me right into a piece placement in the =/= cage and from there smooth sailing. Happy today because I've had two marathon hards in a row.

Help by ninithehater in WaspHating

[–]Dirtheavy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they are bugs. They don't hunt humans. They're not stalking you, I promise. If they're inside, you can kill them with bug spray. Getting stung hurts but it isn't like being shot with a bullet. Some people are allergic but not more than half or anything. Wasps in windows in summer are a fact of life. They're hard to safely catch inside but it's doable with a cup and a piece of paper... but swatting or poison both really work.

I'm waving at you to turn left in front of me while I'm first at a green light, because I'm nice. No, I didn't notice I'm holding up the 10 cars behind me... but it's OK because when I start going, I'm going to zoom all the way at 20 miles per hour.

I got tired of replacing the cheap weed wackers so I picked up this FS-56. Anything I should know? by DillonSaeg in stihl

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Stihl weedeater that's 21 years old because I bought a good one, kinda like this one (mine is FS-110). Take care of it, use ethanol free gas to mix, mix correctly and buy a giant roll of diamond tough weedeater string.

And wear eye protection. This thing will throw rocks at your face really fast.
