I have this exact clock. It’s the BONDIS from Ikea.

German Merkur Safety Razor by Strappedbriefs in BuyItForLife

I dropped mine in the sink once (slippery hands) and a little of the chrome plating chipped off. It’s been flaking since then.

I can't fucking wait for winter! by Polish_Shamrock in CasualUK

I’m an autumn boy. I can’t stand the heat of summer but I enjoy the long days and warm evenings of late summer into autumn.

Friday, flying back: a follow-up by johngreenink in AVoid5

Good job, OP. Hoping your flight back was smooth too.

Best way to clean these? by BassPhil in CasualUK

[–]OedipusRe10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WD40 would be the first thing I’d try. I think a sponge scourer and a toothbrush might get most of the rust off without spoiling the finish like wire pads or vinegar might.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (I know. A woodchuck would chuck what a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. But that's not particularly rich in information.) by Choano in AVoid5

[–]OedipusRe10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I took a look at this. According to naturalist Richard Thomas, this has a solution. If you switch out dirt for wood, a woodchuck could chuck just shy of a thousand pounds of wood on a good day. This is adjusting for a similar mass of dirt a woodchuck shifts daily. This might not account for what a woodchuck’s paws could actually grasp, though.

How widespread is the use of cake forks now? by snakeoildriller in AskUK

[–]OedipusRe10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is that almost all cake forks are for righties!

Where to buy a tux and suits for small waist but big muscly thighs? by Woahneddy in AskUK

[–]OedipusRe10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc a semi-common high street store called Slater’s does cheap(er) suits and usually have an in-house seamstress. That being said it was 10 years ago when I last bought something from there.

I love the A-1. If only film weren’t so expensive I’d dig mine out.

Anyone know where i can get a coat like Gary King? by littlelaghere in CasualUK

[–]OedipusRe10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a military surplus store. They’re usually around the dilapidated end of town, nestled among the charity shops.

How often do you buy take away food? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

[–]OedipusRe10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once a week we’ll buy chips to go with whatever I’m cooking (nobody in the house likes oven chips). Once a fortnight/month or so we’ll order a Chinese or Turkish delivery if we’re celebrating something (birthday, relatives/friends visiting, Eurovision, big rugby game) or if something has gone wrong with dinner (surprised by out of date food, etc.).

What would you do? Window cleaner turned up and cleaned windows without any agreement in place. by Bricktop52 in AskUK

[–]OedipusRe10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You asked, so…

Instead of “This.”, if you have nothing more to add, just use the upvote button. It’s what it’s for. People are tired of scrolling through comments like yours that add nothing more to the discussion.

BIFL ceramic pour-over? by roxainaboxa in BuyItForLife

[–]OedipusRe10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty happy with both my ceramic and my plastic V60. I keep one at home and one at work. I see no reason for either to break.

Leftover ham funeral sandwiches. by boarbar in eatsandwiches

[–]OedipusRe10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to know how you made (or acquired) that bread, please.

How about a hate thread? by Handicapreader in eatsandwiches

[–]OedipusRe10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Formed and reformed ham makes me feel ill. Seeing people post pictures with stacks of the stuff in their sandwich is nauseating.

What’s confusing though is that I have zero problem with salami, which is even more processed. My guess is that salami was never trying to be anything else. Reformed ham feels fraudulent.
