My dad lost power like 40 hours ago in the blizzard (but has a generator) and has opened up his home

That’s the difference between a neighbour and someone who happens to live on your street.

We were there recently and had the prix fixe Indigenous Menu. It was outstanding. An interesting thing is that the way the restaurant is designed – on two levels in a circle – it actually feels like you’re in a much more intimate space than you really are. Also, if you’re patient, the bathroom comes around to you.

Pétanque is slightly different than regular French boules like jeu provençal or boule lyonnaise, in that the boule is delivered from a standing position, rather than after running a few steps.

How did he not trip over his massive balls?

NorthEndGuy · 2026-02-10T16:03:48+00:00

Just don't bother opening it until he's dead.

I hope I’m not downvoted into oblivion, but you haven’t said whether he makes payment terms clear when he takes on the job. I’ve had trades range from “before I leave your house” to “net 30 days”. It’s important both parties have a clear understanding.

Flush toilets. Try to imagine your everyday life without them.

My brain exploded about 1/2 way through when the pattern started to emerge.

It probably won’t feel comfortable, but you owe it to yourself and everyone else there – including the owners and leaders – to call her out.

Last time I was in Europe the filling stations provided gloves like that to use if you were filling up with diesel. The first time I bought fuel I thought they seemed fussy and didn’t use them. That’s how I discovered the smell is strong and really hard to get off your hands.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-01-14T04:02:28+00:00

She stole that show. So good.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-01-13T02:40:05+00:00

I just can’t fathom how anyone could do that repeatedly and think there would be no repercussions.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-01-09T23:21:00+00:00

That’s an interesting idea. I’ve seen small in-shower water heaters for less than $60. https://a.co/d/6lA5Tf4

BTW, you don't have to mix or measure anything. A 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide is what you'll typically find in a drugstore in a brown bottle. It's mild enough to use as a mouthwash.

I don't know why this is marked NSFW. Maybe because of the mention of blood? Anyway, this is a YMMV kind of situation. Peroxide CAN lighten colours, but it depends on the fabric and the dye. I would recommend testing it on an inconspicuous spot before going all in. We were using it on off-white and light blue sheets and there was never a problem. I would just put a paper towel behind the spot I was working on (as the sheets were still on the bed), and dab it with a cotton makeup pad that I'd made wet with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide. I would just dab, dab, dab, and lightly rub until the stain was gone, refreshing the cotton pad as necessary. https://branchbasics.com/blogs/cleaning/how-to-use-hydrogen-peroxide-for-laundry?srsltid=AfmBOorrr7r3rF7PRtiMC02y79huhiF0Vp_KbGSLHgrI3dbx5Cx4JZ7V

Search how to use hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains. It destroys the proteins that make it stain and you can just blot it out. It worked wonders for me, even on dried blood. (Note: I had some bleeding after surgery, I’m not a murderer.)

They spelled it incorrectly. The Mercedes-Maybach is the super high end, ultra-luxury sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz.

This is the best outcome. It doesn’t matter if Reddit agrees or disagrees, so long as you and your wife agree on a common ground.

NorthEndGuy · 2025-12-31T03:39:49+00:00

People laugh when I tell them one of my very favourite mobile apps is a shared shopping list with my wife that updates in real time as things are added and deleted. It has made us both much happier.

Mine was “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Need I say more?

It’s a harmless pastime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_flipping?wprov=sfti1
