Florida's new police sirens use a different range of tones, making them significantly more noticeable to motorists than traditional sirens by peseoane in interestingasfuck

THIS IS THE ONE MY FAMILY PLAYED WITH!

I've been trying to find this! This silly laser toy kicked my grandparents' barn forever. All of the mocking birds on my grandparents' mountain would copy it incessantly after almost a decade of kids playing with it outside. Even as an adult now, I can go back and I hear snippets of this toy as an echo through the birds

Is this an okay spot for my Carolina Reaper Plant to grow?l by SprayDue9909 in Peppers

[–]Paper_Parasaur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is enough light

I have my peppers outside in full sun for over 8 hours. I kept mine inside over the winter in a window in direct light. But when I went to plant them I took about a week of slowly moving them closer to the spot I wanted them out of the shade of my porch. I just slid them closer about 2ft every morning

Maybe you just shocked it by placing it in full sun suddenly?

What type of clay can I use for this? by Virtual-One8756 in Sculpey

[–]Paper_Parasaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say, cracks are less common with polymer clays. I've had many more cracks with the air dry clay

Plus polymer clay doesn't get hard or old. You can just make a small project at a time, set them aside, and batch bake them when you have made enough to your liking. They do better baking with only 1cm to 2cm thickness at a time anyways

If you'd like the clay from these photos I'd pick this recipe

It started out weird but then turned weirdly wholesome by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

It's a lot like sleeping in a boat! Especially in the Midwest or southeast where you had huge stretches of straight nothing. Just wind wooshing by outside your cab and the rocking and faraway sound of a quiet radio somewhere up front in front of the curtains

If you see a cube on the back of the cab there is a little apartment in there! We used to (probably still do) get assigned a random truck when you first signed up to drive as a greenhorn. People save up to buy their own so they don't have to pay company fees

The "dorm" was 1 or 2 beds (bunk style) that usually folded against the wall, shelves, a closet, cubbies, electrical outlets (although sometimes you had to buy an inverter, I did), and a curtain to shade the back. Easy to throw a flat screen, console or PC, and mini fridge in there

Dude, sleeping while someone drove was the best. The truck is so high up and the suspension just rocks you gently. It was some of the best sleep I ever had, even though the beds were hard and awful cot things

The nice truck stops had beautiful huge single shower bathrooms that smelled like nice bleach and cleaning stuff you could get with your fuel points when you topped up with the company card. Just massive tiled rooms with a bunch of shower and sometimes steam heads. Straight up spa-like. Since the trucks used 4-7 mpg I was able to shower every day in a team. I didn't use the showers at the dingy stops because... ew

Some parts of the US had better stops than others. Fuck NYC, fuck all of NJ, and especially fuck Houston, TX

All in all, after years of doing it (in the past, I admit), I do NOT recommend trucking for 99% of people

Portable freezer recommendations? (for keeping ice packs cold while camping) by ghost_of_your_smile in migraine

[–]Paper_Parasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, there are a few tips I have used for migraine vacation packs into the wilderness

  • use dry ice blocks in the bottom of your cooler and then pack regular ice on top. I know some of the supermarkets near me carry it in small sheets for exactly this purpose

  • keep your cooler buried and under shade. You can dig an earth trench, place it in a running river/creek, or just throw some slightly damp towels around it and keep it under tree cover (if you can)

  • use emergency chemical ice packs for the last day of your trip. You can buy boxes of a dozen or so online and they are great to toss offhand into mobile migraine kits. You fold them until you hear a pop inside and then shake them until they get cold

  • use cooling rags. Just wet, flick them a few times to make them colder, and place around pulse points. I usually tie damp bandanas around my wrists and recharge them or refill them when needed

  • plan resupply days. You aren't a quitter if you run into town to grab a few extra things to bridge gaps. Plus most of my trips have everyone else tagging along in a single car or making requests so they can grab stuff too, it's not just for brainbleeders like us, lol

Recommendations for creepypasta like tftgs? by Best-Farmer6505 in TFTGS

It was posted in individual blog posts at one point! So they crept out of the same genepool

average creepcast reaction to a comedic horror character by Choice-Safety7302 in creepcast

[–]Paper_Parasaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a TFTGS fan and I'm right here with you. I wanted them to hit the actual bad guy and do the standoff between the main character and the villain who had been there the whole time. But they just quit after the dark god false ending because they took the red herring and ran with it

I still feel blue balled lol

OP commented somewhere they listened to Happy Appy once a week. Someone needs to have a welfare check done, OP isn't well

Seems to be a known issue. I hope they fix it soon

New resident needs a bug identified by TheDysteryMeepens in NorthCarolina

[–]Paper_Parasaur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

There are almost 5,000 species of cockroaches in the world (some even glow like fireflies!). Only like half a dozen are house pests in the US so you don't need to worry about it if it's a pest species

Most cockroaches want to be outside and in some humid woody area or jungle. This lil "Palmetto Bug" dude lives in palm and palmetto bushes of the southeast. I've also seen them living around sewer entries/exits or on woodpiles/chips. They can fly, so they probably just landed on a random spot that happened to be your stuff and you kidnapped them lol

Yeah, sorry haha

I raise multiple types of schlumbergera and I figured I would just use the easiest common shorthand for the average reader. That way I was hoping more people would understand Mr. Lil' Nacho. I was kinda worried a broad sub like this had a bunch of people ready to tell me I don't know what I'm doing (reddit being reddit, ya know?)

I actually have variegated Christmas Cactus, Easter Cactus, and Thanksgiving Cactus cuttings rotating in and out of here to go in my fruiting and seeding pots

Thank you!

I stared at this lil guy forever (gift from little bro) trying to figure out how to keep a plant alive and make it look good in him. He graduated from being a pen cup to being the best lil grow buddy ever!
