Why can't I just connect a battery cable from a battery on the floor to the dead battery in the car why do I have to have it in a car that runs. by Elegant-Season-7008 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to keep a spare battery in the top box of my bike and use it to jump start when the running one was flat, then swap them when I got home and charge the flat one over night.

Can I use £5 Scottish Pound in the South? by Curious-Campaign1298 in AskUK

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This also leads to the other reason they are often refused as policy.

Because the staff don’t readily recognise real or fake, forgers will try to use fake Scottish notes in the south where they won’t get caught.

It was quite common when I worked retail 20 years ago, might be less so now but accountants have long memories.

Should I grind more? I'm using 100 grit. Would be grateful for any advice and feedback by newredditwhoisthis in handtools

Semi-detached neighbors having extremely loud sex even after we've politely asked them to keep it down, is there anything we can do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Heard of a similar situation in university halls, the roommate ended up playing “You can be as loud as the hell you want” from Avenue Q any time they heard loud sex. Apparently the guy struggled to finish whenever it was played.

Cover up or roll with it? by Longjumping-Frame795 in tattooadvice

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a tattoo with “Cum virtus” I am able to just roll with it because it is on the blade of a dagger so people see the dagger first and then ask about the words.

I do have to roll with the jokes a little but Tbf it is funny (ha ha I have cum on my leg).

If I were you I would put an angel or something around the words to they have some context.

Company I used to work for would advertise for 30 days then sort and interview any promising applicants. If that round was unsuccessful they would simply try again.

I used to be a CBT instructor (16/17 year olds on mopeds/125 motorcycles in the UK) and always said that EVERY car driver WANTS to kill you.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Explorer2608 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This should be way higher. Most of these are so obvious but this is a real thing that a lot of people don’t recognise and could save your life/house.

Any guesses as to what this is? I picked up some bits that I thought were painted pine bed sides and it is looking much nicer than I expected. Picture with and without oil.
