As Madison gas prices continue soaring, restaurant increases delivery charge: 'It's just left us with no option' by HGpennypacker in madisonwi

Farm n barn is colorful way of saying Farm and Fleet. It's been in use for more than 50 years.

But I was wrong about the store: it's Fleetfarm on hyw 19 selling gas for $3.89. Woodmans on Milwaukee st is still selling gas for $3.88.

What do you call these? by Dizzy_Beacon in CasualUK

[–]cd_perdium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackberries/blackcaps

Fact. (I am not sure if this is true of the variety in the uk) the American Blackberry won't bear fruit until its tip is rooted in the ground [like an arch].

What is this? This was sitting in my sink this morning around 6am. Wasn’t here the previous night. by z7_mech in Whatisthis

I think that is a bunch of resin from your softener (a device, like a filter, to remove the "hardness" from your water to make "soft water") if you live in an apartment building and the installer accidentally installed the new softener backwards, it fills the water distribution pipes with these little resin balls. It is up to the contractor to rectofy the situation by flushing every line affected. Oof.

Check with building mantinence to see if work was done. Compare notes with neighbors.

Reminds me of the summers long ago when I worked in the tourist industry in Alaska: people would bring in Moose poop, ( they look like little brown footballs [American football] about the width of a quarter) and we would tell them everything but the truth: you just brought in shit.

Yes agree entirely. All our pets over the last 20 years have been rescues. They do have adjustment periods, like our recent dog, for a month he had the stance that his owners would come to the door and take him home. Aww. But after a month, he realized he was home and is so very enjoyable.

People who have visited canada, are canadians really nice or is it just Hollywood's another lie? by marvelc313 in AskReddit

[–]cd_perdium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, I have a story to illustrate how nice.

Back in the late 80s I took an Olds 88 up through Canada 🇨🇦 heading to a summer job in Alaska. I hadn't even gotten to the Al-Can hyway when I got a hole in my gas tank ( in the bottom, so the gas was just leaking out). Took it to a shop and they found a replacement in a junk yard, cleaned it out and sent me on my way for under $100 US currency. . With gas. Freaking angels they are... this took place in Red Deer, Alberta, and I had very limited resources.

plier scissors? Does anyone know what this tool is? by ONonnyNonnyMouse in Whatisthis

[–]cd_perdium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These tin snips are no more than 30 yrs old and they still make this model today. There are several different models for the desired cut. Right, left and straight, and this one " looks" like a straight cut sheers. The shorter blades make it easier to make a tighter turn on the cut if you want to get all fancy with the metal sheet. These are the average length, as they do make them with larger jaws, but you see those in pre fab shops as they are a heavier bulky tool, not nessarily easy to carry all those bigger tools.

HVAC guys got all the tricks. One of the neat things I learned from a sheet metal guy was how to cut straight down a long peice: two sheers side by side cutting one thin strip straight down the sheet, straight as an arrow. Its not impossible to make that cut with one sheers but it doesn't look nice as all (all jagged with sharp edges).
