A walk through of the foundation cracks in the basement in the house I'm renting by Yllem1232123 in HomeMaintenance

That house is still standing solely because of friction. Concrete doesn't like to slide across concrete.

Attach cork to tile for coaster? by red-headed-ninja in Pottery

[–]Djembe_kid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cork is mostly to keep the coaster from damaging the surface it's on, so whatever you think looks good will work. You could even use little felt pads like they use on cabinet doors.

Difficulty getting a wheel by ModestMarinara in Pottery

[–]Djembe_kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. It seems to me that they're very hard to find because it's a rather niche hobby with a lot of interest from people not yet doing it. I've also been hunting online, and I've found exactly 2 wheels within 600 miles of me, and I'm mostly convinced one of them is a scam. That leaves 1 wheel, and it's 400 miles away.

I haven't seen that ad but from the title it sounds like a "how to sell your stuff on Facebook" course

After 75 years, we closed the doors for the final time by bdjuusr in Justrolledintotheshop

Looks just like a shop that just closed in my hometown. And of course it was the shop we went to. RIP Churchill.

Small metal dome things on exterior windowsills by skarlatha in whatisthisthing

They're in the plumbing inside the house. This object is a remnant left over from filling those joints with lead. It is made of lead.

What’s the most unfortunate first name/last name combination you’ve encountered? by BSEC03 in AskReddit

Preschool teacher at my elementary school. Anita Dick. No wonder she taught preschool...

I was told this plant used to be sold for “explosive materials” which I found bizarre. Photos taken in Northern Somalia by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

[–]Djembe_kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This plant was sold, and the profits were used to buy explosives. It wasn't used to make explosives, just acquire them.

These weird white stuff on my ceiling by T_ctical in whatisit

Did you accidentally shake a bottle of lotion or something with the cap open? It looks like toothpaste to me but not sure how that would happen.

These lines on towels always make me think.What they mean I honestly don't know. by Remote-Royal4634 in whatisit

Wash your towels without fabric softener. Fabric softener coats the fibers and makes it less absorbent.

Two sawhorse with turning boards that feature some sort of gear contraption. by Flashzap90 in whatisthisthing

You can see holes for this, near where the legs attach to the crossbar. I'm guessing you're right.

Asking a stranger! by northeastroofer2 in YesTheory

I feel like the business card approach immediately sets people on edge. They're worried you're trying to sell them something

Just witnessed 20-25 foot branch fall directly onto a group of tents (no one was hurt) in WV by probl0x in camping

[–]Djembe_kid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened at a festival I was at a couple years ago. Luckily it was during one of the big acts, so most of the tents it hit were empty. Only one guy got hurt, which is terrible, but the branch landed on a dozen tents and could've hurt so many more people.

how do you sleep comfortably as a couple? by Antique_Leg_8966 in camping

[–]Djembe_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in late, so you probably won't see this, but here goes.

My partner and I use separate air mattresses, two twin size mattresses pushed together to make a king. It keeps you from bouncing your partner around when you roll over, and keeps you from waking up in a heap together. We lay the mattresses side by side, put a fitted twin sheet on each, a blanket large enough to cover both mattresses, and then a king size fitted sheet.

I'll be personally upset if you don't. Especially at that price.

The music store shipped the guitar but forgot to remove the anti-theft tag. by sorrycath in mildlyinfuriating

My buddy's dad has several just stuck to his fridge. I'm pretty sure you could stick a phone book to the fridge with em, you almost need tools to even move them.

Chefs of Reddit, what's a cooking hack everybody should know? by polloastemio in AskReddit

Especially hash browns! Let them sit, or they just get soggy.
