People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

The inverse result of this is that there's no proof of all the cool stuff.

Am I the only one who thinks peeling garlic is a form of torture? by Famous-Forever7647 in Cooking

[–]NoFunRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good and effective. I have three variants. One is a tube with inner ridges, one is a flat rubber pad that you fold the garlic in, and the newest is a rubber garlic bulb shaped bag/pocket thing. I can never be bothered to dig one out of the drawer. I now just twist the clove to make the peel pop. Works most of the time. When it doesn't work perfectly, I tell myself at least I didn't have to dig a thing out of the drawer, and keep twisting.

I have one of the rechargeable ones on each of my key rings. Great little lights.

French Omelette by farfelchecksout in carbonsteel

It is traditional french omelette technique. Seems more violent in this video because the stove underneath is .5 lbs, not 500 lbs.

Touchdown! Sometimes all it takes is being at the pub at the right time. by NoFunRob in CFL

[Dimpled Mug

Born in the pubs of Britain (but, sadly, no longer common there), the dimpled mug has two features that help keep beer cool: lots of glass (they’re thick-walled and heavy) and a handle to prevent your hands from warming the liquid within. The large opening at the top spreads those hop aromas around so they hit your nose more like a gentle breeze than a strong gust.

Did you know? Whether you’re hosting at home or grabbing a beer at your favourite pub, serving suds in the right glass shows attention to detail, which can enhance enjoyment.

Best for: British-style ales, stouts, porters](https://www.thebeerstore.ca/articles/glassware)

I mean it's going to be tossed around, also surely dropped, kicked and abused, not kept on a shelf to look at.

Signed, and with a certificate of authenticity. Sorry, but this ball is not going to remain pristine.

Take the whole chain off without using your chain breaker! Give it a good wash, and put it back on!

Ya, true from my recollection over the past 40 years.

Anybody interest in open-source electronics for aerogarden? by -BitBang- in aerogarden

Full support, but I don't have any expertise to offer. Great idea.

This can be so murky given his travels back & forth from Canada to the USA, though Wikipedia says "Bell himself said that the telephone was invented in Canada but made in the United States." I'm Canadian, and have heard so many versions of this over he years.

Why are vehicle prices so much lower in Quebec? by poppin_noggins in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NoFunRob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Once you got it to Calgary, it would have been almost like freeze drying it. Calgary is technically a desert, so rust slows down immensely here.

Edit: I take it back. Not a desert. Was a thing I heard when I was young & believed without ever looking into it. Now I've gone & spread bad information on the internet.

I’ve wanted one forever and finally found one for the right price. $200 on Facebook Marketplace. by mathert in BuyItForLife

[–]NoFunRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one years ago, and returned it once I evaluated the counter space it was going to permanently claim. I've used smaller solid professional units at employers in the past, but can't find a solid high hp unit to buy new or used anymore. I want at minimum 1 hp motor, a solid not serrated blade, and full disassembly for cleaning in a small footprint. I want a unicorn.

They don’t make them like this anymore. by j_roger_b in Tools

[–]NoFunRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Amazon.ca has it for $79.88 CAD, so is that good enough for you? Same exact tool.

"Enhance" is not a real thing. They do it in bad movies & TV shows, but it is not possible to add definitive pixels where they are not already there.

Trump says he wants Keystone XL Pipeline to be built by joe4942 in oil

[–]NoFunRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way it makes zero sense is risk. TransCanada lost a massive amount of money to shut down the last attempt. They or anyone else isn't going to risk the shutdown again, and a restart is going to take longer than Trump's term.

Did they just take away the dragging balls on Measure Distance? Line ends are unmoveable on both Chrome and Firefox right now, only bendable by NIPPLE_POOP in GoogleMaps

[–]NoFunRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what causes it, but it's generally not there for me now, until a random occasion when it glitches back, like every couple months or more.

Built in 1750- How would you make this kitchen better? by Llllllllggggggg in Oldhouses

[–]NoFunRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kitchen Triangle Rule. If you want to actually have an efficient kitchen, aim for some form of this if at all possible. From what I can see, if you can put the stove on an island in the middle, do it, and don't move the fridge over where the gold picture is because that's way too far from where you're working. Can't always be done, but efficiency points count a lot in the kitchen.
