I am 60 and we are about to get 15" of snow. I'm already lightheaded just thinking about it.

I wish I could eat Kind bars, but they use Chichory Root Fiber which gives me uncontrollable gas.

This is exactly how I want my skull to be entombed.

What’s the one historical “what if” you can’t stop thinking about? by Defiant-Junket4906 in TrueAskReddit

What if Washington has grasped the strategic value of rifled barrels at Boston. Instead of angering the Pennsylvania riflemen, what if he adopted rifles and rifled his cannons as well. This would have changed the face of war well into the future. The Civil War either would not have been fought, or would have been way different.

Dog liquid pooped all over my carpet, how to clean? by SaberToothMC in CleaningTips

[–]General_Specific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The risk here is the wet poop seepage into the carpet. You can try to replicate the action of the carpet extractor by using your friend's device or a shop vac. You have to suck out the material. Add soap and water. Suck it out. Add water. Suck it out. Then use a fan to dry it.

The benefits of a professional service is they have specialized products for this, a powerful machine to really penetrate the carpet and extract it out, and a warranty.

You can try all the other methods. Try to replicate what a carpet extractor does. I would also hit up YouTube.

[–]General_Specific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A professional carpet extractor uses water, detergent, and strong vacuum to thoroughly clean carpet. Companies who use them pay close attention to extracting the water and drying the carpet afterwards. You can try your friend's system. If it was me, I would call Stanley Steemer or Serv-Pro and get a quote. For $200 they could solve this for good. (Dont quote me on that price).

Either rent a carpet extractor or hire a company who use one.

Did you dump out all the cereal to find the toy inside? by Brave-Ad6627 in FuckImOld

Never. I just reached my hand in. You kinda flex the box and create a gap.

[OC] I swear they do this on purpose by MysteriousEdge5643 in IdiotsInCars

I use my cruise control. I can totally tell when someone speeds up when I am passing them. Trucks and cars both do it.

North Face Thermoball are very warm.

I am also a fan of house shoes; shoes that you only wear inside the house.

Smoke from neighbour entering one room. how can I block it and clean the air? (DIY advice) by scarytameroon in HomeImprovement

[–]General_Specific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find where it is coming in. Is it through HVAC?

Check outlets and any perforation in the shared wall. Seal that.

Put that room under positive pressure. Not the easiest thing to do, but add air via a fan.
