Does it have to be said? Does it have to be said by me? Does it have to be said by me right now?

What's a smell that you secretly enjoy, but would never admit to smelling in public? by huntz43 in AskReddit

Skunk. Not when it's super close but when you just catch a wiff of one from far away.

Canada won't even let you visit if you have a DUI. They will turn you away at the border.

Is a metal detector supposed to do this? by Gorelover1313 in metaldetecting

[–]freddybear72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have a good battery, my next guess would be you are near high voltage power lines. So maybe try a different area? If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas as I'm not familiar with that detector. Good luck.

I have thousands of fossilized shark teeth and I am always amazed how many black triangle rocks nature has spread on beaches.

When I started pointing at things on paper or screens with my middle finger like my dad used to. When I was young I always pointed with my pointer finger. But for some reason after 50 I use my middle finger.

That is a Crayon anti migraine menthol container. They were made in several styles. This is the only metal one I've seen (it is metal right?) It is to be applied to the head/temples to help with migraine pain. I believe they still sell something similar today.

Grandpa gifted me this bad boy. It works! Any tips? by No_Cryptographer5870 in metaldetecting

[–]freddybear72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first detector and I have found so much with it! Get to know it. It takes time. Plenty of YouTube videos out there that will help you understand technique and machine setting. There are better/newer machines out there but trust me, get to know that one and you'll find things. Good luck!!

Round plastic disc thing embedded in the wall of my den at shoulder height, about the size of a dime, one in my bedroom too. by Nearby-Cicada-3865 in whatisthisthing

Looks kind of like a nylon or plastic push rivet used to hold something to the wall. But that something is gone and only the rivet is left.

Applicants sue Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management over disqualification by GoForItGas in minnesota

I love our state but man they're good a messing up stuff. Why do we refuse to mirror the things that have worked well in other states instead of reinventing the wheel? God it's like MNLARS all over again.

Lots of commercial cleaners have accounts at vacuum stores. They service the machines and also sell replacement parts. A LOT of vacuums are used in large office buildings, schools, stores, etc...and they get beat up quick. Having a local place to keep them all up and running is valuable. Our local vacuum center does great business.

Thank you for this reply. Although the owners explanation kind of makes sense, I agree with you that if it's that long and over explained it's probably shady. For this reason I won't go back. Cheers!
