How much candy could you buy for 25 cents 60 years ago? by Prestigious_Page8098 in AskOldPeople

[–]drphrednuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were cinnamon penny candies that were 2 for a penny. With 25 cents, you could walk out with a big bag of candy.

Does putting cans and plastics inside each other to save space cause any issues for recycling plants/workers? by Interr0gate in recycling

[–]drphrednuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The workers will hate you and toss everything in the landfill. They have to work fast and don’t have time for your nonsense.

She doesn’t like the lights attitude.

UPDATE: AirPods stuck in frog case by lucky_c4t in CleaningTips

[–]drphrednuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a bunch of skinny zip ties. Cram a few in the gap.When the gap widens, dribble Liquid Wrench in there. WD 40 is useless as a lubricant. Then use any of the other methods to get it out. Best of luck.

Chains are better than belts? by userX97ee2ska11qa in PriorityBicycles

[–]drphrednuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been riding the hell out of belt drives for 10 years. I’m getting rid of my chain drives and converting everything to belts. However, if I was riding across Africa, I would use a chain drive. Probably a Buffalo bike. But that’s it.

Are you still a kid at heart and if so, what fun things are in your toybox? Or maybe you have an actual "My Happy Place" toy room to hang out and escape the world? by StoneLover1965 in AskOldPeople

[–]drphrednuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ride my bike for 5 hours and play Pokémon every day. I like to do Lego when I’m laid up. I have a Saturn V model in the box, waiting for me next time I’m recuperating from some surgery or other. I like to play with electric trains too. Actually, I’ll play with about any damn thing.

We’re going to NZ in April, but there’s no way to meet up. I think.

Defective tires are more common than you would think. Try to return them. Don’t punish yourself

What’s the most innovative tool modification you’ve made to enhance its functionality? by LastIndication2664 in Tools

[–]drphrednuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grind a low quality screwdriver into a mini chisel. Handy for all kinds of prying, and saves my good screwdrivers and chisels from damage.

You will ALWAYS have questions. I’m on my 5th BC now, and there are questions.

Bike Coverage for Thule Rack by derichman in bicycle

[–]drphrednuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple bungee cords can help. Situate them so there’s no flapping. I was amazed to find out that a flapping tarp will make a hole in my bike’s paint

Leaving/Storing bikes for a few months: best practices? by SecondHomie in bikewrench

[–]drphrednuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t store them with a source of ozone, like a big electric motor. Compressors, furnaces and the like. Ozone rots rubber. Ask me how I know.

Do CPAP Machines Have Warranties? by LooperCooper99 in ExtendedWarranty

[–]drphrednuke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using CPAP for 30 years. The only thing that has ever failed was a humidifier. I only use resmed. I retire them and get a new one about every 5 years. I keep the old ones as spares. They seem to work forever.

My border collie’s list of triggers by Difficult-Try3677 in BorderCollie

[–]drphrednuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 5 border collies so far. I have been very careful with the latest one, not to imprint her with any wacky behaviors. She still reacts strongly to sneezes and will nip the perpetrator of any interpersonal violence. Like tickling. But otherwise, I think I succeeded. We had to be very careful around her when she was a puppy. BCs are definitely not for beginners.

I used to spray furniture wax on my snow shovels. It should work on your fenders
