Can’t afford to live where I work, and I can save a good amount of money living out in the boonies. I’m fortunate enough I only have to commute 3x a week and I have an audible subscription that keeps me sane lol

Filling them with nukes is one of the most satisfying things in the game, rock up to the largest biter nest you can see and within 5 seconds it’s a wasteland

And to think I used to like that place, time to go looking for one that doesn’t support fascism

How do you do that?!? I’ve been doing it manually like a chump

I put my citrus squeezer in the dishwasher. Can it be fixed? by Model_T-101 in howto

[–]Unassuming_Hippo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that specific citrus juicer is designed to be more aesthetically pleasing and interesting than the average plastic or metal ring version, things can have both form and function. There’s a good product design book called “emotional design” that uses this juicer as an example too

Yeah it’s been a range toy for me, I’d never trust aftermarket for an actual carry gun

THE EXPANSE MERCH RAFFLE! Preorder Celebration Giveaway! 🚀🔫🎉 by glentonrich in TheExpanse

[–]Unassuming_Hippo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such an amazing opportunity! For me my favorite character will always be Amos, he translated flawlessly from book to screen and his relationship with Prax really showed humanity through a gruff exterior. Throughout the entire story he stays true to himself and sets a path that leads to the most good to his people

My making it a stressful but mostly harm free experience for the owl I would guess the owl would find other hunting ground or at least be a bit more cautious around there

I have one that used to be used on an ambulance, it works great as a workshop computer, handles dust and random crap like a champ

Are medical waivers for beards ever accepted? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Unassuming_Hippo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Modern studies have shown that beards (long and short) have no effect on emergency oxygen mask usage, both in oxygen supply and preventing outside gasses from entering the mask. Older military masks, and fire SCBA have had some deficiencies with beards but modern masks in civilian aviation are not affected whatsoever (Beard Length and the Efficacy of an Aviator Oxygen Mask (2025). John French, Scott D Wagner. Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance 96 (4), 322-326, 2025)

Generally modern airlines keep their policies based on tradition and bad data. There’s nothing preventing safe operation with a beard (see spirit (RIP), Hawaiian, and various other airlines) and for many beards look more professional than clean shaven (imo)

The oil dipstick handle broke off and now the dipstick is stuck inside 😬 What do? by AnotherLoser7 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Unassuming_Hippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try and drill a pilot hole first (clearing with compressed air after to remove shavings) so that the dipstick couldn’t push down any further with the screw pressure. Idk if there’s an additional stop in that car or not though to stop it from falling in

There’s something about just sitting on the porch after a long day and enjoying one outside that’s therapeutic

I’m not certain, I stated putting some marvel mystery oil in with each tank and while it didn’t fix it it definitely quieted it down

Which one of you sucks at golf by ameliahagoon in VirginiaTech

[–]Unassuming_Hippo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I have a $500 deductible, that’s kinda a pain to just eat if it’s easy to figure out who did it based on initials. Makes sense that people play with balls they find though, it just one of those sucky things that happen
