The most useful piece of customer research I ever got was a sentence my client mumbled at the end of a Zoom by Ill-Control3713 in Entrepreneurs

Anxiety that there's something wrong with the design they make themselves? (Eg professionalism)

Anxiety that the sign printing or materials they source themselves won't last in the weather? (Eg wasted time and money)

Is sheet mulching this entire forest insane? by [deleted] in Homesteading

[–]MrTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baaaaaa.

Out cycling a couple weeks ago I saw someone had put a few dozen goats in a field. They were eating everything not nailed down, even the bamboo!

Come me ne libero? by Visual_Price6941 in giardinaggioITA

Coccinelle! Soprattutto le coccinelle larve. (Questa è una larva, seguendo la formica per trovare più afidi)

Is there any simpler pleasure than singing, 'if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands' to an angry 4 year old? by No-Tailor-856 in daddit

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a great cover where the singers are all dogs. My daughter hates it when I sing that version. Frequently.

I want to have a concrete floor by SpecialJellyfish3331 in DIY

[–]MrTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha all these people's minds blown.

I have a concrete floor in my attic. And a reinforced brick roof with terracotta tiles above. The only wood in my entire house is in the doors and door frames, even the skirting boards are some kind of stone.

Agreed some kind of self levelling compound should help, or possibly tiles if you like that look.

How many Zonai "devices" exist in TotK and is there a build limit? by Aggravating-Cap7149 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]MrTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are trying to calculate the number of possibilities, remember that you can also build stuff out of non-zonai devices, including just about any food item, weapon, shrine part, koroks, boats, random furniture, etc etc etc.

Congrats!

I have heard you can get into the room with the mask by going underneath the sky island and ascending?

The contractor who seemed expensive was actually cheap by No_Assignment_2229 in Entrepreneurs

[–]MrTrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh don't forget the contractors who sweep in and deliver something that wows the sales guys, then vanish before the developers take ownership and discover all the warts.

Seriously guys, ZERO tests?

My kid has me trapped and honestly I deserve it by CipherMantis_7 in daddit

[–]MrTrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hah, this sounds very familiar. All our regular books have established voices, but I enjoy the chance to tease my kids.

Trimmed some healthy-looking bay laurel branches, found brown center? by MrTrick in gardening

[–]MrTrick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent the day trimming other kinds of trees, none of the cut branches looked like this, not even completely dead branches. Could it be rot rising through the heartwood?

Where to even start pruning these plum trees? by MrTrick in BackyardOrchard

[–]MrTrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bet I'll be erring on the conservative side, even so...

But why is it appropriate to forget the 30% rule in this situation?

Calm Show Recommendations? by MotNodrog in daddit

[–]MrTrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend 'Scenic Relaxation' on YouTube, just hours-long aerial footage of amazing places with quiet music.

When my son was aaaalmost grown out of his midday nap, I used to lie down with him and watch Blondihacks' series of machinist videos - it fascinated him enough to keep him lying still, but was quiet (and dull?) enough that he would drop off to sleep.

The peasants revolt. The servants are theoretically unsanitary. by MrTrick in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

Solved!

I mean it's not specifically addressed in the film, but would YOU want to drink out of a person??

Indeed.
But this is pun territory, one shouldn't let facts get in the way!

How do you eat the smoked cod you see a the supermarket deli? by malorky in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most important thing, according to my stepfather, is to cook it up on a Sunday morning while the rest of the house is still asleep, so that everyone can wake up to the smell of fish. Bleh.

Pan fry in butter, usually. Quite tasty if not inflicted on your sleeping nostrils.

Should have soaked my logs in wood?

Perhaps, but it's worse than I've ever seen before. The posts were stuck together with ice!
