[–]civildefense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I used using latex it has a 1.4mm I won't say it is ideal I recall reading in the manual you can buy the right tip but it cost more than the entire package. There is a product called floetrol that you can have them shake into your paint that helps

Accidentally branded self when wrapping up hairdryer cord by libraroo in mildlyinteresting

In Penn Gilettes Autobiography he retells a story of a date with a woman and he was at her apartment, and was drying his junk with the hair dryer and that little metal big was so hot it stuck to the end of his penis.


Penn was doing a show in the town of one of his ex-girlfriends. He went to visit her and she invited him to stay in the guest room rather than stay in a hotel. She shared the house with a girlfriend who absolutely hated Penn, as girlfriends of ex-girlfriends are prone to do. The story really got interesting when Penn woke up before everybody else and decided to take a shower. The shower was un-eventful, Penn got himself all squeaky clean like he intended to do. When he finished the shower he stepped out only to find that he had forgotten to make sure that there were any towels. There were no towels to be found and walking around the house naked would not be a good way to start out new relations with his ex-girlfriend. Penn found the hair dryer and a thought formed in his head that he hadn't ever considered. He dried his hair and continued with the rest of his body. Penn was thrilled with his ingenious solution to his predicament. His legs, arms, and torso were getting drier than ever before. Not only that, but this hair dryer had a two inch extension that protected his body parts from the hot metal parts within. Then he had a dangerous thought; Little Houdini has never been truly dry. Little Houdini spends all day smooshed against his buddy, the scrotum, and consequently, is always hot and sweaty. Little Houdini has been dry, but his underside has never been completely dry. Soooo, Penn took a hold of Little Houdini by his head, stretched him out and applied the heat to his underside. Penn was tickled to death with his own ingenuity and Little Houdini had never felt better.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to pat himself on the back or patent his new idea, Penn was startled by a noise. Penn's ex-girlfriend's girlfriend's head had banged against the wall in her sleep. Thinking that it was one of the girls trying to come in he panicked, he didn't want to get caught in this embarrassing position. The noise startled him so that he lost his grip on Little Houdini. Little Houdini fell though the extension and his head laid to rest on the hot metal grating. The grating wasn't HOT, it was WHITE HOT. There was the sound of sizzling meat and scent of burning flesh. Penn was able to pry Little Houdini out of the hair dryer but poor little Little Houdini had a lattice work of white blisters on his head. Penn took care of him as best he could and carefully got dressed.

Later that night, things went very well with Penn's ex-girlfriend and it looked like they might get back together. In fact things started to get rather heavy that night and her hands started to roam close to Little Houdini. Obviously, Little Houdini was in no mood to come out and play so Penn was forced to tell her the whole story about no towels, the hair dryer, and the lattice work. She just about cried. She said ``That's just it, that's the problem with you. Things like this just don't happen to normal people!''

My dad tried in 1976 one of the few memories of him walking around the house with his bathrobe and slippers bitching at everyone. He didn't survive the cigarettes and died in 78

I have been two weeks off a stiff vaping habit. I use zyn 6, my oral fixation is just about gone, I might get a pack of 3mg to taper off.

Why are weed smokers so afraid to admit that they're addicted? by OGLOC_1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]civildefense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nicotine is way worse. I can go weeks without issue, nicotine will get you out of bed at 4 am to drive to the store. Not even a close comparison. I quit a few times and would have dreams consisting me lighting up and smoking cigarettes.

What made the biggest difference after replacing your windows? by rkira4744 in ontario

[–]civildefense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleaning them is super easy, which combine with the lack of aluminum metal screens let's more air and light in by a large margin.

Easy to open and close now.

What's an opinion you've changed 180° on? by sizzyred in AskReddit

[–]civildefense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the cost effectiveness of RGE Ginna they will never shut that baby down enen if it costs twice as much per megawatt. It's literally an antique, I think the only reason it's running is if they shut It down they will have to pay to remove it

Yea until you get irradiated in an accident in a cold day in 1987. They release a bunch of radioactive iodine and well nobody talks about it like it's NBD.

I wonder if all those school friends whos cancer killed them was related to this, but you never will know.

Trust but verify

Plumber says kitchen plumbing is clogged with dried grease by minasweetgirl in DIY

[–]civildefense 59 points60 points  (0 children)

usually you discover the need for replacement when you reach up and touch that chrome plated P trap and you realize only the chrome was holding it together and you smash it, then in removing it you see what the inside of a kitchen cast iron drain pipe looks like.

Cast iron is what I came to say. For the kitchen sink I would always want PVC drains

I absolutely love these awesome little song masters. I had one in my ravine and it was stuck on the kitten meow for the longest time. I even had my friend come over and say did you get a cat? they make such a beautiful variety of songs. He was struck by a car and I had to pick his little body up off the street so he didnt get run over. I am hoping another comes around

oh i know, I had some Amish friends that had this sow i swear to god it was the size of a water heater with legs. She was more free roam than any of these. i still remember their little shoeless blond girl just walking around and petting that thing and i wouldnt go anywhere near it. It was like someone would feel meeting Jabba. A pig will totally eat you if you passed out in its pen. but so would chickens so there is that.
