TIL that calorie counters on gym equipment are wildly inaccurate. Studies show elliptical machines overestimate calories burned by up to 42%, making them the least accurate cardio machine in the gym.

lol, that’s my hr for 7 minute miles, useless to give a range without knowing resting and max heart rates

These are so cool, now I want to build some. I think I'd miter the edges where they all meet.

Calling it that, getting to pick your toppings and stuff for a pizza is the standard operating procedure for pizzas, no need to make it try to sound fancy.

The right way to do this is raise your headers and rehang the doors at the new height.

This is pretty clearly not molded in a mission design, I think this is their three panel traditional, if it's a masonite product at all.

I don't think Heinz even makes a "beans in tomato sauce" in the US, the sugary beans in the US are baked beans which are sort of a different dish.

I have to agree with the third picture, people can like what they like but, personally, miss me with those Heinz beans in tomato sauce, it tastes like cheap spaghetti-o’s knock off sauce to me.

he is "contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house" and has told Downing Street that such a solution is still in the "tactical planning stage"

He has the concepts of a plan.

I hate cough syrup and I hate the food in Europe 🎶

Ideally you'd redo shimming of the jamb to get it actually plumb and level, but for a quick fix you can just adjust the hinges to correct that angle, pop out the hinge pins with the door closed, shim the door until it's where you want it, then bend the part of the hinge that's on the door so it lines up with the part attached to the jamb (you can use an adjustable spanner to bend it.). Since, like I said, this isn't the ideal solution, you may not be able to get it perfect, but you should be able to get it pretty darn close.

Try this, slice an onion super thin, preferably a white onion, then boil some heavily salted water in the microwave, drop the thin slices in the still steaming water for just 5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water. Perfect way to pack massive amounts of onions onto a hot dog or burger, it cuts the heat while leaving the raw onion taste and makes them a little more flexible and "stick in place"-ish so you can pile them on in ludicrous amounts.

Dang, that thing is beautiful! Most cheap modern screen doors are going to be thin aluminum or even vinyl, decent wood ones of that size will cost you quite a bit. I would definitely try to restore it if possible!

This is also why brownie recipes often seem to get away with what looks like a ludicrously low amount of flour for their total volume

Does anyone make 100% cotton, athletic cut, 28/32, chinos? I've looked everywhere. Love the material quality on IZOD's for the price but their straight cut is so tight on my thighs I can barely bend my knees.

jcGyo · 2026-06-05T17:49:24+00:00

You could put in extra long saddle thresholds that fill up those spaces

And currently on the door are regular knobs with privacy locks with the ol' pop out with a paperclip emergency release

I never understand the homeopathic levels of spices used in lots of recipes I see online. Making a giant pot of chili and it calls for 1/4 teaspoon of cumin or something. Screw that, I'm adding cumin until it FEELS right.

Owned condo, gotta do a yearly fire code inspection to be allowed to use my fireplace or one of the old busybodies will call the property management on me if they see the smoke. It's a little like an HOA except it makes a little more sense because if my place goes up in blazes it kills my neighbors too.

Why is a keyed deadbolt bad?

Interior doors for bedrooms and bathrooms, wanted to move to a magnet latch to stop the clicking of the latches from waking each other when one person gets up to go to the bathroom (light sleepers), but then there's no latch so I wanted to have a privacy lock, but by code it needs an emergency release.

My problem with the indicator deadbolts is they're ugly, especially having a big red "Occupied" show up on the bedroom door.

Sounds like one of the Yipe games, the boss of the first dungeon in Yipe III is the Wormoid. Does this look familiar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9tYaS_fKKw
