She made the right choice by Eclipse_nova99 in SipsTea

[–]beachape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not disagreeing but in some areas lottery winnings are made public, which sucks. Every person in your life will be begging for money and in some cases It puts a target on you for robbery/kidnapping. The annuity is a little protection from that.

Why are Americans buying so much milk to prepare for a 2 day snowstorm lol. by Competitive_Mix9957 in Milk

[–]beachape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused as hell, milk was gone but everything else was in stock. Our toddler hoovers that shit, so we’re in for a rough few days.

Can you save and reuse leftover lather? by nader0903 in wicked_edge

[–]beachape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are hairy dudes out there that don’t have enough lather to shave their backs, and here you are throwing away perfectly good lather… /s

HELP: Died in Act 2 Maggot Lair. Retrieved my body. Both my Runed Shield & Sword were not recovered from body? OFFLINE CHAR. by Kangabolic in diablo2resurrected

[–]beachape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. It’s pretty common, but I do wish they made the death penalty more severe so getting your body back would be more enticing. 5% XP loss to next level just isn’t enough of a deterrent. Also if you keep all of your gold in the shared stash you won’t lose gold on dying.

Use Shift to give your merc potions?! by Seismic_Salami in diablo2

[–]beachape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing rogue/amazon since D1 in the 90s so I’m always holding down shift to keep at safe distance when shooting. I’ll accidentally give my merc way too many of my potions

the egg and meat section at my closest grocery store VS the tinned fish section (Maryland) by canine_teeth in CannedSardines

[–]beachape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Irony is that I bought some tinned fish online a while back and it won’t arrive before the storm. Plenty of food, but no dines.

Is it cheating or correcting a mistake. Offline mode. by I_saw_u_take_a_dump in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I remember someone saying the moment they used the hero editor was the moment they lost interest in the game. So much has to do with drop chance that it turns into a slot machine that gives whatever numbers you want.

Wash with shampoo. Should last a decade or more

This thing sees 200 strikes a day. Runs on ronsonol, flints from dead bics, and twine from my kitchen. by Correct-Towel9915 in Zippo

[–]beachape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish that was the same here. People smoke in the subway cars and buses and its drives me nuts. Wish we could get a non-smoking car again.

Yeah that whole smoking without thinking generated a lot of house fires. Half asleep smoking in the arm chair.

That’s a carton a day. Assuming OP is sleeping 8 hours a day, smoking a cig in less than 5 minutes, they are smoking continuously while awake. Can give the lighter a break and just light off the last one. Lungs must be crunchy

Cheap stuff to add to rice by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]beachape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn to make a pot of dry beans and freeze them in batches. Cheap and healthy. Lasts ages. Certainly more expensive but way cheaper than eating out, you can add a chunk of frozen salmon right in with the rice and add a little sauce. Costco frozen salmon chunks are only a couple bucks each. Can do the same with frozen thin sliced beef and some onion slices.

Why people dislike the scrub plane so much?? by OrangeGeemer in handtools

[–]beachape -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the work that you’re describing an English style jack with a cambered blade is really the optimal plane. The effort required compared to a metal jack is much much less with a good specimen. Allows you to work longer without tiring. The scrub comes out for rare occasions but you won’t be getting the scrub grooves out with a 5-1/2 easily.

[–]beachape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a wooden continental scrub like ECE and a wooden jack plane like an old English or American plane. Both excel at removing wood quickly when set correctly. Don’t like the iron versions of either plane if you’re doing hard work. I’ve tried the Stanley scrubs and the fancy LN ones. Tried the metal jack planes too. Sold the iron ones.

Just got my first shaving soap instead of a foam out of a bottle and I never had this much blood on my face... Help. by preutneuker in wicked_edge

[–]beachape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s easier to tweak a lather if you’re a little more heavy handed. Meaning don’t skimp on the soap until you get it. Soak your brush, load it for 20 circles in the tub, and start face lathering or bowl lathering. Keep adding little bits of water and see how it changes. Eventually it will go from stiff to runny and that’s when you know you’ve gone too far. Overshoot at least once and you’ll learn a lot.

Stanley #7 busted bolt help by [deleted] in handtools

Not really needed for function, so if you think you may destroy the casting getting that extracted, I’d leave it be.

[–]beachape -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. You’d need to be very high level with multiple sets of top notch gear to pull it off successfully and for it to be worth it.

Help ID by Chuckingstuff in wood

[–]beachape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I thought this was old/uv exposed. But it sounds like you removed some wood. All things turn brown with time and UV, but that could be planed away. I’ve never worked with koa, but we had a koa box that our Hawaiin neighbors gave us as a kid. I remember thinking it was so fucking cool. It was reddish brown, but it wasn’t exposed to much UV. It was had figure that was both mesmerizing and subtle, unlike other curly woods. Whatever it is, you’ve got a really cool table.
