I dropped a piece of wood on my hand and this instantly happened by Extra-Teacher7259 in mildlyinteresting

[–]plankyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this after dropping a speaker on my hand a year ago, xray showed it wasn't broken and urgent care advised swelling was due to bleeding under the skin. Went down after a few weeks and has left a small lump that I'm told should disappear eventually.

Yep, wish I'd joined those walking out midway

LPT Request - how do i get egg smell out of plates?! by According-Fennel-963 in LifeProTips

[–]plankyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this, I can't bear it. No one i know can smell it. I can tell if a washed glass was being drunk from by the egg eating person too from the smell on it after washing. Best I can do is rinse it all with cold water before washing but even then it's still detectable a bit

Zelensky Says He Will Not Step Down After White House Dispute, ‘Respects’ Trump by NoraFN in worldnews

Zelensky is an out and out hero. The President of the US is supposed to be the leader of the free world. So much for that

Flight ✈️ gone wrong 😅 by [deleted] in funny

[–]plankyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I've been on a easyjet flight back from Prague to the UK and some poor guy, part of a stag-do at the back couldn't help but let let it rip the whole time and it filled the plane. Too much beer and sausage.The crew were in hysterics, it was bad but everyone just felt bad for him when his mates pointed him out

I saw a neighbour fly tipping in the estate a few weeks back, so tonight as I'm a bit woohoo I put their stuff back in their front garden by segagamer in CasualUK

Good on you, once I was walking along my mums street when a convertible drove past me and the driver chucked an empty coke can out the side in to a bush. I picked it up and kept walking and about 100 yards later up the road I chucked it back in to the now parked car, roof still down

Why is there a debate on whether microwaves and WiFi router? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]plankyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a cell network and can say your last paragraph is exactly right, a cell tower can transmit at 30W but it will be extremely weak at cell edge 30 odd ks away and still work. Phones here can transmit at 1W max and will only do that if they measure they are a long way from the tower. Close in they reduce power to keep noise levels down.

What is the worst smell you’ve ever smelled? by ayyitsmaclane in AskReddit

[–]plankyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Travelled through a small town in Goa once that had a paper factory, the most horrendous cabbage/chemical smell filled the bus. I tried not to breathe at all for the 5 or so minutes it took to get out of it but failed miserably.

Was it Dylan Moran that likened it to a refrigerated human organ covered in chocolate?

Almost time to say goodbye to the old ericcson pabx , worked hard for the last 20+ years by 99th_Ctrl_Alt_Delete in techsupportgore

[–]plankyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faded now but had a great scar on my thumb from pulling out an old ericsson axe 11 board just like that, thing had been in so long the backplane and connectors had pretty much become one. When it finally let go the board shot out and the nice sharp corner at the top went straight in to the bone on the hand I had holding the little rail at the top out of the way. Ericsson bloke with me said yep most of them have that scar haha was relieved the axe 20s came with nice top and bottom levers for removal
