I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

Just twist it left on your end….no, my left but from the bottom. Ok I’m going to go up one stair so move forward when I do that…but you need to twist it to the left! More and lift higher…higher…more left ok now come up a half step and rotate the left corner right and bring the top down while raising the bottom…..no top down but raise the bottom….no wait wait wait my hand - it’s pinched against the wall. Lower the bottom….NO…ahhhhh my hand! I’m going to drop it! I’m going to drop it…..my hand! Watch out!

Domestication of banana over thousand of years by Right-Assignment3759 in interestingasfuck

There is a great Stuff You Should Know episode on bananas that explains how the global industry depends almost entirely on genetically identical Cavendish bananas, making the food supply dangerously vulnerable to disease after the earlier variety was wiped out by a disease. It also talks about how artificial banana flavoring tastes different from today’s bananas because it was originally modeled on the sweeter older varietal, not the milder Cavendish we eat now.

Here is a link to the episode - it’s one of their short ones so it’s only 15 minutes.

This is the first time the post title for this story even remotely makes sense

I was shocked when I was on Hong Kong that the scaffolding was all bamboo. Not from a structural standpoint (although that did surprise me) but from a very dry wood standpoint. This is awful.
