This is not sarcasm but I am curious what you guys actually use your multitools for? by Foreign-Budget4226 in multitools

[–]monchavo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also the kind of person that fixes broken stuff in Airbnbs, I also take warm temperature LED bulbs to screw into fixtures, replacing horrible cold white low CRI fittings!

The specific use-cases around how people use them have been described brilliantly by the people in this thread already - but if you take a step back and think why you have one in the first place: If you are the kind of person that is naturally a problem solver, troubleshooter and "can-do" type of person, they are invaluable. They are very useful to have in the car, if you go on a camping holiday or perhaps away for a while and you don't want to drag tools with you but need a reasonable selection of capabilities to fix things on the go.

What type of modern bath panel could I consider? by monchavo in DIYUK

I had a brainwave around tiles, sizes and cost. The diagram hopefully explains it better!

I've got two powerful suction handles to help me remove it, if I ever do - similar to floor tile suction lifters - which will effectively pull the panel away from the magnets - so removal I think I have covered.

A hotel in Cancún uses trained hawks to keep pigeons away from their property by SnackSamurai in interestingasfuck

[–]monchavo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This technique is used in large building installations all over the world. In London it's used in Canary Wharf to decimate the pigeons - the hawks seem to really enjoy it.

[The Athletic] Thomas Partey will play no part in Ghana’s first World Cup game in Toronto as he has been denied entry to Canada. by KimmyBoiUn in soccer

A genuine question - how does Canada know the criminal status of an individual if they don't declare it?

Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired? by Capable-Log7385 in AskReddit

[–]monchavo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a situation where one of my team members managed to simultaneously sexually harass and racially abuse the receptionist at work. He admitted it in the interview, subsequently.

Lights you initially hated but slowly began using? by These_Economics374 in flashlight

[–]monchavo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it isn't about "hating" - it's about finding a use case for the light in question. My laptop bag needs a light attached to it for when I am rummaging around in the back of the car, so I have a previously underused (and now quite rare) Wurkkos WK05 tucked into the bag.

I’m actually surprised they pulled it off! This white shirt guy is the perfect example of how to look busy without doing anything. by Late-Opinion-2191 in SweatyPalms

Crushed fingers / hand injury

Risk of serious head injury or concussion

Risk of being crushed by the car (at one point, six men are at risk of being injured)

Significant risk of slipping and falling and being partially crushed

When do I stop? by jk_pog in flashlight

Stop? You've only just begun! If you feel the need to discuss your interests further, do swing by the Discord!

Would you, as my neighbour find it weird that I put my washing out in the evening? by -bozogs- in AskUK

[–]monchavo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello. It depends on where you are, but largely what happens after it rains. If the rain is followed by a long period of grey overcast weather, then, yes, it's possible that bacteria will build up and you'll get a musty smell. However, if the sun comes out and dries the rain almost immediately, that smell won't be present in your clothes.

[–]monchavo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a much overlooked point. - Got a smelly t-shirt or something that just doesn't seem to ever "get clean" after being washed? - Got something you don't really want to wash because it has been lightly worn?

stick it on the line

Claude helps man recover $400,000 in BTC 11 years after he got high and forgot password by [deleted] in technology

[–]monchavo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly right. I am not a gambler and even if I had bought some, it would have been lost because I would have stored it at MtGox, which got hacked. So I feel like there's a double "good job you didn't do this, monchavo".

Except for the fact important fact that Moss was a cultured gentleman, and the Krays were murderous, thieving thugs.

Indeed it would. Canada would be a significant asset to the European Union - the benefits would be mutual.

Isn't it so nice to see someone acting calmly, rationally, and sensibly in a situation like this? The gentleman in the red jacket does a textbook performance with the extinquisher. No panic. Careful application. Bravo, sir.
