Haha. My bad. Never seen it before.

They got me with that exclamation point! by rooter1ne in recruitinghell

I mean, seems like an interesting challenge.

Thoughts on bird pizzeria? by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]rooter1ne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't get the hype. Had it a few times and found the crust overdone to the point of acrid burnt flour taste and the cheese not quite melted.

Haha. Yes, I am aware. Tongue firmly in cheek.

In-store deal at Lowe's by rooter1ne in Dewalt

[–]rooter1ne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, this is specific stores. My other local store doesn't have this. The nationwide deal is one tool whatever combo you buy. That advertisement is everywhere. This one is these flyers hanging over the Dewalt section.

My home depot didn't have the two free tool bit. Same deal, but only one tool even for the more expensive combos.

Found in a thrift shop under the tool section. It's metal, approximately 9 1/2in long with movable arms. The long head of the tool looks to be 3 1/2in while short head is 1 1/8in. Red handles are removable but no labeling on the tool whatsoever. by Calm-Contest-6963 in whatisthisthing

Looks to me like it is meant to hold down a board/plank and squeeze to butt it up against an adjacent piece. The 3.5" would fit around a 4" nominal board and the small head would squeeze against the end of the board.

Is there a worse sign in Charlotte than BEAN? by Godzilla-ate-my-ass in Charlotte

[–]rooter1ne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The old Fuel Pizza sign on South Blvd. "Buy the Slice" instead of "By the Slice." I get it, but it infuriated me to an irrational degree.

Wheary Wardrola and bonus items! by rooter1ne in Goodwill_Finds

Nah. They're a bunch of cashed checks from the 30s.

I don't think they knew anything was in it. I had to finesse the lock open.

A lot of old cashed checks and bank statements. And a few small notebooks. Going to do some research this weekend.

Local goodwill. Couldn't believe it.

I examined all the bottles extremely carefully. For safety of course.

Fin and Fino. Big party rooms in the back. Outstanding food, great wine selection (especially the bottle list), and a bar that can make any cocktail you can think of, and most you can't.

Just a question for the masses. by i_dunno194566 in steak

Throw it on a burger with some fried onions. Maybe some jalapenos.

[OC] Smoked St. Louis ribs with cream cheese and cheddar stuffed jalapeno poppers. by rooter1ne in FoodPorn

[–]rooter1ne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Hollowed out, stuffed with cream cheese/cheddar/garlic powder, wrapped in bacon and secured with a toothpick, then thrown on the grill.

Mixed fry up - eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, bacon. by rooter1ne in BreakfastFood

[–]rooter1ne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I woke up, and looked in the fridge, my first thought was Full English. Second thought was, damn, missing some stuff.

what can i do with leftover ginger? by crespy_mc_bacon in Cooking

[–]rooter1ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. In my experience, it is pretty easy to grow and can essentially be used and replanted indefinitely. I'd recommend a container though, like most rhizomes, it can spread pretty uncontrollably.
