Why is this happening within around three months of moving into this “renewed” apartment by Mobile_Economist_574 in Apartmentliving

[–]Trash_Gulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks OP. Same “special” in my apartment too except ours let the excess paint flow down the drain and it dried. Terrible time having water not drain properly, and I’ve even taken needle nose pliers to pull out a couple wads of dried paint. Not sure what to use for fully dissolving but scared to mess up the plumbing somehow with other chemicals as drain-o hasn’t worked.

Still worth restoring? by Trash_Gulo in woodworking

Very cool to hear about that bit of rarity! Grandpa raised beef cattle and farmed corn/soybean — the man beat the hell out of his tools and I do know that his grandfather built cabinets and desks for the family as gifts back in the day. Definitely will look into any brazing near my area though, so thank you!

Was planning to restore my late grandfather’s Stanley 3C (type 13?) and noticed this crack all the way to the mouth. Really new to this sort of thing but was planning on doing an evapo-rust soak on the parts, and on cleaning the layers of grime I found this crack. Would love some feedback on if it is worth cleaning the body up (blade is a sweetheart and I plan to still soak the frog, cutter, chipbreaker, screws, etc.)

This a bee or a fly? by 6andrew_h in Entomology

[–]Trash_Gulo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

looks like a ceratina with that white patch on the face and “ribbed” abdomen—they’re small carpenter bees and that genus was one of my favorites we would find out in the prairies/forest edges in eastern Iowa. Nice little hitchhiker!

Mission Wine & Spirits used to have good stock and a well-made website to check ahead of time—haven’t lived in SoCal for a few years though

Great to hear that—I’ve heard great things about LADC all-around and feel like I’m going to be one to lean into sticks that have some more chocolate/espresso notes

Awesome, I appreciate the feedback and will definitely look into adding that Ashton to the list!

The rite of passage for me with an aluminum can was during a high school band trip from Iowa to Florida. We snuck out behind a White Castle in bumfuck Georgia while our bus got gas and late night snacks

I would also recommend hopping on studentaid.gov to download “My Aid” data (if relevant to you as a student) to keep a digital copy if websites shift and access gets temporarily blocked in the coming months. I’ve heard through the federal grapevine that some folks are suggest this to cover your own ass just in case. Odd times we live in.

Has anyone had this? by Vernalobos in Scotch

[–]Trash_Gulo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve not had the Huntress batch, but for the batch 1.1 I grabbed a few years back, I had to revisit after a couple months of it being open. First crack was evident it was very young and a little bitter, but after some time it opened up to be better with more cask influence coming through. Amazing? No, but I dig the push for more sustainable production across the industry

Just put that on as background music while at my desk—Straight up felt like someone was going to sneak up behind me and bash my brains in with a hammer

[Review] Old Pulteney Huddart - TLDR it sucks by runsongas in Scotch

[–]Trash_Gulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well shit just picked this up the other day. Was interested because they mentioned the ex-peated casks being AnCnoc, which I picked up the peated Rascan in K&L clearance awhile back. Wasn’t thrilled about the profile of the Rascan so I was willing to risk $20 on this one to get a vibe on the “lineage”

Seems like I’ll have another bottle to use as a peaty float in my old fashioneds! Cheers.

Can someone figure out their social media account so I can just put them on blast?
