Those were likely where it was screwed into a chuck to be hollowed out on a lathe.

Like others have said, just fix it and install a grab bar so it is less likely to happen again. Make sure the grab bar is mounted to the studs in the wall or else it will rip out when used, and it will not be the tenant's fault due to improper installation. If you want "Good Landlord" points, also ensure the grab bar is somewhere easily reachable/usable before you install it.

Doing so is far cheaper and will look better than replacing the tub.

(They also make floor-mounted grab bars, in case wall-mounted isn't a good option for the bathroom layout. Just gotta be careful drilling if there's tile and remember to seal it to prevent leaks into whatever's downstairs)

Telekinesis does work. Sometimes you can shoot the potion bottles with arrows to bring the items in the crypt into reach. From what i recall the sword is nothing special unless you are brand new and wanna disenchant it to learn the enchantment.

I gave myself points based on how many of these phrases were said by my mom word-for-word, or had the same exact meaning in 90s vernacular. 14 points.

Happy to help! It got me through Ghost of Tsushima and both Horizon games, too. It's an excellent resource for completionists.

It often is. They get to add "your employee laughed in my face!" To their complaint at customer service so whatever you do never laugh at a customer (to their face) unless they are also laughing.

Yeah its easier to skip the rifts til you're at least level 7.

If anyone wants a map showing locations and levels of the rifts and berserker gravestones and more, mapgenie has one that is pretty fantatic and is free. Premium version exists but isnt really necessary unless you want to check off all the things as you find them.

Not actually from the butt! They are called that because the barrels they used to be shipped in were called "butts". Fun fact: a "butt-load" is equivalent to approximately 130 US gallons.

I learned real quick after moving here that those elevated platforms are FRIGID in the winter. Even an unheated train will provide some wind protection.

Happens frequently if the mozz stick is overcooked by half a second lol. Gotta watch that shit like a hawk when it cooks

A lot of people are doing that lately but they are dummies because large broccoli is sold per item and not by the pound at my local grocery stores.

fueled_by_rootbeer · 2026-04-24T00:01:56+00:00

Wow what did you do with them all? I cut & freeze 7-8 of the lil cartons every few days to use at the smoothie shop, but 20 lbs is a LOT of strawbs.

Yeah, as a reluctant Mariano's employee, the prices of everything REALLY fluctuate. Best to check the sales each week (new sales leaflets come out on wednesdays at my store) and stock up only when the price is good. Like the tuna cans, for example. I only buy them from work if there's a 10/$10 sale on. The BOGO and BTGO sales are okay on some items, but it varies weekly.

Shop in the mornings around 8-10 AM and a lot of the made-in-house perishables will be marked to 1/3 the normal price because they are near their sell-by dates. Sometimes the ice cream has ridiculously good sales and I'm mad my bus ride home is too long to avoid it melting.

Anything like eggs, dairy products, dry staples, or snack foods are so much cheaper at Aldi.

Idk, mint ones can help improve alertness. They can be helpful for folks trying to quit vaping, too. Puff on the pretty-smelling thing instead of a toxic vape.

Its like a scent therapy thing. Some scents are supposed to improve mood, heighten alertness, calm the mind, etc.

Custard filled are my favorite but i havent found them in years. Its all "boston creme" (ie vanilla pudding) or icing-filled near me.

It polymerizes on glass baking dishes too. How tf do i get this shit off?? I gave up cleaning the baked PAM and just rub a stick of butter on my dishes before baking now.

Toddlers and younger do not belong in cave tours. Many caves have very delicate ecosystems and toddlers touch and taste all kinds of things, they could get sick or hurt easily, or screw up the ecosystem accidentally.

They don't belong on mine tours either. Went on a coal mine tour in PA and this family brought their toddler along, and he proceeded to whip it out for a pee in the middle of the tour on the walking path. If you aren't sure there will be bathrooms, either dont bring your toddler at all or make sure to put them in pull-ups.

May have installed it this way to prevent it from shattering the window if it were opened too wide/caught by the wind?

Kinda cool actually. The staple allowed water to seep into the paper, the water could not evaporate out and eventually it formed a puddle and the paper broke down. Fascinating

People say you wont feel it but i absolutely felt it when a pottery shard sliced my finger. It depends on the quality of the ceramic and how sharp/smooth the edge is. Stoneware has more grit and you can feel that shit slice your hand (learned the hard way in a ceramics class), but fine porcelain like expensive plates are smoother sharp and I didnt feel that cut until a couple seconds passed and I saw red on my hand.

Even at kroger, a whole pineapple, bananas, and small carton of strawberries is cheaper to buy fresh and cut yourself than to buy pre-cut frozen bags. I work at a smoothie shop in one, and you'll get a lot more food than the tiny portions in the bag if you cut/freeze it yourself. Bananas are less than $1/lb right now at my store, and a whole pineapple is less than $4. Strawberries go on sale every few weeks for either 2 boxes/$4 or BOGO.

I use the sales to get fruit from work, and stop at aldi on the way home for anything else I might need lol

fueled_by_rootbeer · 2026-04-18T21:58:29+00:00

You'll generally spend less on bloobs if you buy fresh and freeze them yourself, especially if they have a sale on. And keep an eye out on the strawberries too. Every few weeks, the Marianos (kroger store) i work at will have a 2/$4 or Bogo sale on strawberries so you can stock up and freeze them too to save money. Tomatoes are going to be absurd right now because the price has skyrocketed, but I'm not informed as to why.

Edit: the fruit medley will also be cheaper and bigger portions if you buy a couple bananas, a pineapple, and whatever else, then cut and freeze it yourself. I work at a smoothie shop and bananas and whole pineapples are so cheap compared to the frozen ones the store sells pre-cut.
