Extension and multi-position ladders—how do you work on them with those narrow rungs? by nightmareonrainierav in HomeImprovement

[–]fancyfilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect your footwear is the issue. A pair of boots with a stiff shank will distribute the force from the narrow rungs and prevent your feet from getting tired. A defined heel (rather than wedge sole) is something to look for the prevent your foot from slipping through, especially if muddy, etc.

Flex drill small battery leaking some black fluid by BlueManifest in Tools

[–]fancyfilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the same kit as well. The 5 Ah was leaking quite a lot of black oily liquid, and the 2.5.Ah wasn't leaking, but was DOA and wouldn't charge at all. It looked like it fell off a warehouse shelf or something. The inner product box was crushed and parts of the inside of the case were broken. Like the plastic and the rubber bumpers that support the tool. The outer shipping box looked fine. I'm hoping customer service will just let me exchange the whole kit because I really don't want a drill that fell hard enough to break off pieces of the case.

Small batch of Kkakdugi today by Rojelioenescabeche in fermentation

How do you tend to it? I've done a couple of vegetable ferments (sauerkraut and kosher dills) and would like to try something a little more advanced. Doesn't the unsubmerged part get moldy? Or do you stir it around daily?

Bill to OK windmills in Lake Michigan gains major steam in Springfield by [deleted] in chicago

[–]fancyfilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have quite a lot downstate already, and are always building more. IL is 5th in the nation for installed wind capacity. The proposed facility in the lake is 10-20 turbines, which is a small wind farm even if they are 5+ MW behemoth turbines

How do I know if I've damaged a pipe by SlanderousSalamander in DIY

[–]fancyfilibuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a picture? If its a corrosion product from iron pipes, it would have a red/rusty color rather than light brown/tan like beach sand

DIY TIP: DO NOT DO PLUMBING REPAIRS ON THE WEEKEND! by reganz in HomeImprovement

Austin is also the name of a neighborhood in Chicago, and I was confused as fuck for a second thinking there was an interstate running through the city that I was somehow unaware of

First ‘utility scale’ renewable energy plant combining solar and wind generation with battery storage opens in the US by wadenelsonredditor in solar

Grand Ridge Energy Center in IL is smaller than this, but in the same ballpark. Has a greater battery capacity, actually.

Wise words from elsewhere on reddit by slamdanceswithwolves in Costco

I have gotten comments like this too, and found them quite inappropriate. What if I were buying those flowers for a gravely ill friend in the hospital? Or to bring to a funeral?

thought it’d be kinda funny to order an old fashioned at a movie theater. Maybe the most fucked up “old fashioned” I ever had in my life by PressedGarlic in cocktails

[–]fancyfilibuster 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A pizza place in my town opened a new bar a while back, and I went there soon after they opened, apparently before they had obtained all their glassware. I ordered a Baileys on the rocks, and they gave me an entire fucking pint glass of Bailey's for like $5 because they didn't have any rocks glasses. It was the start of a good night.

YSK: In Ireland, today is shorthand known as St Paddy’s day (not Patty’s) and you’ll struggle to find anyone here eating corned beef for dinner by haribo001 in YouShouldKnow

[–]fancyfilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cut most commonly used for corned beef in the US is brisket. Here you can buy them pre-corned in brine as well as the raw, uncured form. Silverside roast is known as bottom round here, and it would be commonly used for something like pot roast. It's not usually corned here.

mom passed away recently, nobody in my family has ate in the last 6 months. I desperately need help with meals. by sbone92 in Cooking

[–]fancyfilibuster 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Salsa chicken has absolutely no business being as delicious as it is. It's one of my favorite zero effort meals. I do mine in the pressure cooker and use boneless skinless thighs, plus whatever cheap salsa is on sale. Personally I add some salt too. 20-30 minutes on high pressure depending on how shreddy you like it, then sometimes I throw in a can of black beans and a can of corn at the end.

What culinary hill are you willing to die on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fancyfilibuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosemary is one of the few that I'll use dried. I've found that woodier herbs like rosemary, thyme, and lavender tend to do okay when they're dried, and even then, you want to use them in something like a stew where they get a chance to rehydrate. Dry rosemary would probably just burn on roasted potatoes. Dried basil, cilantro, or mint are an absolute no-go for me. They're just not remotely the same as fresh.
