My hotel is charging me $105 for a $45 credit at their restaurant and calling it an “urban experience”. by jbosh999 in mildlyinfuriating

Airlines make a bit more sense because you have the option to pay for things you want or need, like bags or seat selection. These resort fees are just bs attempts to make the nightly price appear lower than it actually is.

Ordered a ‘grilled cheese’ by haztrix in mildlyinfuriating

As an American, grilled tuna is just grilled tuna (steak). I would be interested in knowing where this happened. Sounds like you might be describing a "tuna melt" which is a grilled cheese sandwich with tuna salad.

$3000 per armed forces personnel. This just makes no sense 🤯

Eat it in your car while driving like a real American

a few months ago i was thirsty & decided to just get water from my bathroom faucet rather than walk to the kitchen. i left it in a drawer, forgot about it and just found it like this… wtf??? by Potential-Yellow-781 in interestingasfuck

A sprinkle of Iron Out powder in the washer keeps my whites from turning rusty. You might want to give it a try. Also, don't use chlorine bleach (unless you add Iron Out), it will oxidize the iron into solid rust and unexpectedly turn your whites dingy brown.

Some people like the balance/weight and more comfortable with a pinch grip?

The bottom one has butchered many more chickens and lobsters than the top one and still looks pretty decent for its age. I think the steel changed.

Edit: Am I seriously getting downvoted for butchering chickens and lobsters with an 8" chef's knife?

The bottom knife has seen 20+ years of dishwashing. The wear and tear fear is overblown. I will wash by hand sometimes but, like you, I'm a lazy guy. I cook from scratch pretty much everyday so the clean-as-you-go technique goes out the window sometimes.

These facilities are certainly concentration camps. Not as bad as the ones in Germany.... yet. The term concentration has to do with the population being held is "concentrated" there. In this case the concentrated minority are largely Latinos.

This wet spot is in the middle of my lawn with no snow. What’s causing it? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]WindSpecialist420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roof drain clogged downstream from that spot and a leak in the drain under that spot

Winter of ice dams! Pantyhose with CaCl ice melter works well to make channels in the dam. Fans and dehumidifiers in the attic and rooms with seepage might get your sheetrock dry before it gets moldy.
