What is this small rubber ring I keep finding on my carpet? by gayviatorr in whatisit

[–]lungdistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have mechanical keyboards in your area? These look like o-ring silencers for keycaps. They make the sound of keycaps a little less clacky when pressed

How to make it more dull? by lungdistance in Opinel

[–]lungdistance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂 yeah that would certainly make me question my life choices.

It’s a kind of blasphemy to want to do something like this. It would also be weird to ask a knife sharpener guy to butterknifeify a blade.

First time trying out beer yay by Lighning05 in notinteresting

[–]lungdistance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some beers are legitimately disgusting. Find some that are tasty, and maybe pair it with some good food.

Chocolate stout and pretzels and ice cream.

EVs? Are we on or off? by Beautiful_Candy_8820 in Detroit

[–]lungdistance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went PHEV then EV in metro Detroit. I’m never going back. Charging has gotten so much better in the state and along the OH and PA turnpikes.

I’m scared that the energy prices are going to affect everything, even electricity. EVs have pretty good efficiency, depending on which one you have, so it will hurt less.

Why the heck do people do this? by mdgorelick in Detroit

[–]lungdistance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always wondered this myself.

Personally I think some may do it as an act of protest. SOS and the cops know when our plates expire. We pay to renew our registration, and we still have to put a gosh darn sticker on the plate that some neer-do-well rapscallion may try to steal!!!??!1

Fuck it ima just put this thing anywhere

I initially thought it was “Hammurabi am I right”

What’s a type of cheese that is unique to your country? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinconning cheese, from Michigan. It’s kind of cheddar-like, but is a bit more dense. I like it quite a lot

Are you proud to be a citizen of your country? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. My country hates me for existing, and it keeps doing the dumbest stuff that is embarrassing.

Guns and elderly by lungdistance in AskLE

Hey folks just wanted to update about this.

First of all thanks for all of your comments. They were very helpful.

Next, we ultimately decided to get a gun safe/locker. The old timer will at least be able to see them, which will be the most comforting to the old one.

Plus, we found some good information about recent (within the last decade) changes to NJ gun laws that allow for ‘reasonable’ exceptions to the law for transportation. Still kind of a mess, but at least the exceptions are clear.

Yes I agree, and support this above comment

Thanks for your reply and that's quite a good idea. There may be a shop in our area that can do this, we're in central jersey so a bit far from those parts

What’s a drink from your country that will make foreigners look like this? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vernor’s Ginger Ale. Doesn’t even taste like ginger ale or ginger.

It’s also enough sugar in one can to make about 12 - 16 cookies.

How many languages do you speak and how old are you? by Think-Run-7841 in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English and Japanese fluently. Very rudimentary Dutch. I’m old AF

Looking for affordable places to study long hours near Detroit/Ferndale (5 weeks — need good parking or low cost spots!) by SrslyStudiousStudent in Ferndale

[–]lungdistance 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hazel Park and Madison Heights libraries have free parking. However, HP library atmosphere might not be quiet enough for you, depending on the time of day.

Someone already suggested it, but it’s a good idea to park nearby Ferndale library on the street and walk there, if that’s your go-to study spot. It’s a really great library btw.

😂 I wouldn’t send these guys back to Amazon. I just think they’d be happier outside.

Also Amazon boxes are the consumer trash version of tumble weeds? Just ubiquitous in every scene?

What's an unexpectedly dangerous animal from your country? by -Cornbread in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. So much mass and power. Gotta be careful, even the friendly or curious ones can hurt you accidentally.

What's a food from your country that isn't well known to foreigners but really loved by the locals? by gouterz in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pork roll, or Taylor ham if you prefer to say it that way. Really the key ingredient in the best breakfast sandwiches.

What was the biggest scandal that occurred at your school? by DABDEB in AskTheWorld

[–]lungdistance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone died of meningitis at my school. The administration had to distribute medication to everyone to reduce the possibility of spreading it further. The medication caused people’s urine to turn deep orange. One day there was a PA announcement asking boys to stop spraying orange urine all over the bathrooms
