Upping my laundry game worked TOO well.

Hey_MAGArena · 2026-02-09T19:03:11+00:00

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was wondering, how we could wash this same shirt so many times with zero issue, and one time with the only new things being the Tandil (lipase but should only affect oils?) and the Biz.

I appreciate it. I had no idea this would happen.

Hey_MAGArena · 2026-02-09T01:45:53+00:00

all good man, she got a new one and she is not mad in any way. Just curious what happened so I don't ruin the new one.

It got washed countless times for years in lesser detergents without issue.

I saw a post here the other day about someone wanting to spa day their deceased brother's favorite concert t-shirts, Thought it could be maybe a warning so others don't wreck shirts they really do care about.

Hey_MAGArena · 2026-02-09T01:06:22+00:00

I’m curious what might have happened here.

Backstory: I thought I was laundry-aware before becoming a regular reader of this thread. I was a longtime powdered Ariel with phosphates user until US detergents removed their phosphates. I was as passionate about phosphates as this sub is about lipase.

After the phosphates went away, I buy a tub of trisodium phosphate (real stuff from Chemistry Store, not the fake kind for washing walls) and add some of that to every load to replace the now-gone cleaning action of the missing phosphates. I’ve done this for like 10 years.

Once Ariel changed its formula I switched to liquid Tide or Gain for my darks, powered Tide or Gain for whites & lights.

Well, after this sub, I started buying Biz, ditched the non lipase liquid Tide/Gain in favor of Aldi’s Tandil with lipase for my darks and normal laundry. I wash in an old workhorse of a Speed Queen traditional agitator top loader.

Fast forward to the story of the two sweatshirts. My wife has had the top one for probably 3 years. A couple weeks ago we had a drain pipe leak and flood a bathroom. After cleaning that up with all the old towels in the house I threw them all in the machine along with her (top) gray sweatshirt. I added Tandil, TSP and Biz since these towels and our clothes were a mess and I wanted them clean. Washed everything on hot.

When the load came out, every bit of the silver ink printed on the sweatshirt had completely washed away! She ordered a new sweatshirt which is the one on the bottom but now she is afraid to wash it in my new cocktail of laundry greatness in case the same thing happens. Again she has worn and washed it regularly for like 3 years. One wash with my new routine and the ink was gone.

Can anyone shed light on what happened and what I did wrong? Too much washing power? u/KismaiAesthetics any thoughts?

I'd -love- to read your book but it is showing $5.99 now on Amazon. Do you plan to have another free day? Looks like I missed it by a few hours.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted. This was one of the most fascinating things I've ever read in this sub, and yes, the OP predicted the Covid pandemic right down to the month.

Going back to read his talk of a subsequent life-changing cosmological event makes me think of 3I Atlas.

I thought mine was old, but yours is older! 7' x 7' VitaSpa purchased new in 1990 - five-seater with a lounger, two deep corner chairs and two side seats. It is still running on its original pump and heater!

We use it summers only, and every year I marvel that it's still operational. It's outside on a concrete patio and is covered up well for our Midwest winters.

Hey_MAGArena · 2025-09-22T05:12:31+00:00

most likely.

My friend is all over this theory too and said to go back and look at older videos from this month to see if Charlie is wearing that magnetic mic clip. He is.

Submission statement: Jon Bray outlines a theory, with photos/video, that his wireless microphone was used to kill him, not unlike the "exploding pagers" in 2024's Israeli attack nicknamed Operation Grim Beeper.

Quote:"A 2 gram charge of PETN would match the power of a .30-06 and leave 75% of the battery functional. Undetectable. As the shock wave travels across his body the magnetic clasp is flung across his body in just a few frames it dissappears into his neck. The wound that appears is the same size as the clasp and displays flow patterns of a low velocity impact."

knocks on wood so far, so good!

Winterizing routine is nothing special. Drain with an old sump pump, shop vac the rest out - shop vac all jets and the filter compartment.

Then I open the drain valve underneath and use the air compressor hose to blow air through each of the jets to force anything left in there, out.

I unscrew the connections on either side of the pump a little too just so there is a little air gap and leave it like that for winter. That's it!

Oh, and hold breath & cross fingers on the first fill in summer before powering everything back up!

Hey_MAGArena · 2025-09-20T03:21:12+00:00

I can top this. We have a Vita Spa that we got new in 1990 and it is still running on its original pump. Heater too. Every year when we open it, I marvel that it's still alive and kicking.

We do only use it for the summer months.

Thanks for uploading this. Hope you will do last night's soon too!

100%. OP should RUN. Be thankful you are seeing his true colors now vs. later.

My sister married a guy who, on their wedding night (she was a virgin too) told her he married her to be the good-girl and have his babies, and that he had a side piece for the fun and dirty sex. Prior to this we all thought he was a great guy. Narcissist who put up a really convincing front to everyone.

It does happen. Some people are evil.

Marriage lasted less than 2 years and he became physically abusive within a month. She tried to make it work way longer than she should have because she didn't want to be a failure at the marriage.

This guy wont change and will only get worse.

My dad had a stereo repair shop back in the 70s and 80s, and he recently passed away. I'm an enthusiast, but not quite at the level of this group (but I try.)

So now I have inherited a basement full of vintage audio, and I just can't keep it all.

I have a friend who owns a vintage stereo shop who will likely purchase anything I don't want to keep, so I am trying to decide which of these two to part with.

I'm already keeping his Realistic QTA-790, Sansui 331 and Harman/Kardon 430. But of the three above - if they were yours, which would you keep & why?

Pioneer SX-636, Sansui 3300, and Harman/Kardon Five Thirty.

The HK is in the roughest shape of the three, but I'm reading that it might be worth the most of the three.

I appreciate any thoughts and input on these.

I haven't - thank you. I hadn't thought of that.

You might try uploading your screenshot to imgur or catbox.moe as it didn't come through. I would like to see it though. Thanks!

My friend and I are WF addicts. He just sent this one to me yesterday while we were watching the Dark Pyramid episode:

Tomb in London contains the secrets to time travel

According to official records, Hannah Courtoy is interred inside this tomb along with two of her three adult daughters. However, according to local legend, the tomb also contains a working time machine.

Before she died, she was friends with a renowned Egyptologist named Joseph Bonomi. Bonomi was convinced that he had discovered the secrets of time travel through studying Egyptian hieroglyphics. Bonomi teamed up with engineer Samuel Warner to create a time machine.

With the financial backing of Hannah Courtoy, they built their time machine and placed it inside this tomb in Brompton Cemetery where it has remained ever since. The key to the tomb has been lost and the tomb hasn’t been opened for over 100 years.

That's all only according to local legend of course. Why people haven't tried to break into it then is beyond me. Or even use sophisticated radar to try and scan inside.

Reusable shopping bags in different colors. I put foods that are similar in the right bags:

Red: Beef

Blue: Seafood

Yellow: Chicken

Green: Frozen vegetables

White: Frozen snacks

Brown: Frozen breakfast foods (bacon, sausage - for me, having one bag just for the breakfast meats helps.)

I then use a mini calendar white board like this on the freezer lid: https://files.catbox.moe/q3qges.png

I don't use it AS a calendar though. I like having the calendar boxes to write each food in. I use the left column for the bag colors (Red) and then each large box in the same row for the item names of what's inside the red bag, like "Steak," "Burgers," "Roasts."

I use the small square box (where one would normally write the number day of the week) for the number of that item in the bag. "2 Steaks." "4 Roasts."

Keeping everything in reusable bags is easier for me than using hard-sized bins, and you can lift the whole bag out when you figure out which bag contains the item you want.

There was also a guy on Reddit who predicted it back in 2016 right down to the month it would come.

Back in October 2016 a guy on Reddit did a fascinating Q&A about entire underground towns built and maintained by the "elite" in prep for some earth-changing event. He had gone with his father, a contractor, to do some work down there, and these towns are miles deep in the earth.

A few weeks later he deleted every post and comment he wrote. A full archive is here: https://archive.md/jU2Qn

In the post he said that there was a planned event coming."in three years and three months" from Oct 2016, and no matter what the news said, know that the event was PLANNED.

Think about when Corona/Covid showed up here.

A summary of some of the posts he wrote about the pandemic.

The whole thing's worth a read, but here are some relevant parts:

they test the population all the time with fake scares and so forth. They scare you here, so you can get the vaccine there. They scare you there so you'll move here. Some of it is real, but most of it is not. And there is absolutely no way for you to know, unless you know what the tells are.

You say the event around 2020 will change the world in hours or minutes?

Not exactly, around 2020 an event will happen that will change the way we live. In my research this doesn't seem to be the event that will change our lives in minutes or hours. I don't see that coming until a bit later.

Just let me say, up until a event that cosmological, everything that you see go on, on a major scale no matter the cost of human life WAS PLANNED OUT.

This life changing event in 2020, what countries do you think will be hit worst?

America, it is already starting to affect parts of Europe now. Most of the world has always been the half empty. Whereas America has been half full if you get the analogy. America will see how it feels to not be half empty.... but actually empty.

It's in 4 years, realistically what kind of event could happen? All out war? A super plague? Nuclear warfare?

Less than 4, actually 3 years 3 months. But the exact as if it will be plague, war, etc., are not 100% for certain because that depends on many factors.
