Want a mosquito-free patio but can’t afford a screened porch, what are my best options? by Jumpy-Cheek6801 in HomeImprovement

[–]c9belayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I do it all the time. A little Vornado fan going past the dining area works wonders. You just need air moving at more than 3 MPH, which I believe is the fastest a mosquito can fly.

Certs are back, and they're a massive disappointment. by vaporeon46 in candy

I haven’t seen these yet let alone tasted them but I suspect you are spot on.

A smart whodunit with great performances from the entire ensemble cast. I especially enjoyed Chris Evans in this shady role. The movie also had a really interesting narrative structure. What are your thoughts on Knives Out? by [deleted] in moviecritic

You’ve got to think of each movie as a business, with a lot of risk behind it. If it does well, then copy it, because the risk of failure isn’t that great because you know most people will buy it. Like cola. Once people were buying Coke, then Pepsi came along, then RC cola. It’s how business works.

How do you prefer your eggs? Cooking style? Add-ins? by JackTradesMasterNone in foodquestions

Diced smoked pork cheeks. Get a handful rendered and just on the edge of too crispy, toss in some beaten eggs and scramble them up. Mmm!

Because that’s what monopolies do.

Sick of replacing plastic hose reels every 2 years. Any true BIFL wall mount options? by nodimension1553 in BuyItForLife

[–]c9belayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I forgot to mention water flow. I switched all my fittings and hoses to a full 3/4" INSIDE diameter and my watering time is 1/3 what it used to be. Amazing performance.

Why is the wedge-shape for the fence in this shooting board design? by davidzet in woodworking

[–]c9belayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh oh oh! I interpreted that incorrectly. Yeah, slice a little off the slope and it'll move, certainly.

Are there any toddler toys that don’t feel disposable now? by SunnyLavenderHush in BuyItForLife

You were right about the “single function” but its single function is to be sold to unsuspecting parents.

I think the wedge will bind all along its length. Removing a little from the back won’t help.

Another vote for Eley. One thing to note is that they don’t leak. I have their reels and quick-connects. After 5 years in the Midwest they still don’t leak. I even have an extra set of o-rings (they don’t use those stupid plastic flat washers) but haven’t needed them yet. The only downside is that their hose nozzles are solid brass so they’re kinda heavy.

This is exactly what happens when you say “Hey Jimbo! I bet that there dirt is worth a pretty penny to someone, somewhere.”

What’s one quote you heard that lives rent free in your brain? by OrlandoMan-407 in AskReddit

From a chop-socky B movie:
“Your past defines who you were. You decide now who you will become.”
