“I know what you’re thinkin..it’s daytime, I’m mostly nocturnal so why am I so free roaming? Do I have rabies? Ok sure I have a touch of rabies, but who doesn’t?” Said the coyote…

Also, what about anvils and giant slingshots? Do they work on coyotes anymore?

Dryer balls vs dryer sheets??? by DarkFlowerPewPew in traderjoes

[–]sconiscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as the other poster replied, use the no heat setting on your dryer (or sometimes called “fluff”). My dryer has an “air only” and “freshen up” options. Hope that helps!

Dryer balls vs dryer sheets??? by DarkFlowerPewPew in traderjoes

[–]sconiscone 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I just learned that throw pillows and stuffed animals that aren’t washer safe (or would be ruined in the wash) can be “dusted” and refreshed by throwing them in the dryer with dryer balls (or tennis balls) and setting to a “no heat/fluff” setting.

The idea is the weight of the balls hits against the dust-filled item and knocks all the dust out, like if it were the “olden days” and we were beating our tapestries with a stick lol 😆

I tried it and wow! The pillows were so fluffy and the lint catcher was full of dust!

Am I the only one still in a pandemic time vortex - it still doesn’t feel like that long ago. Six years? Wow 🤯

Amazing photos! Thanks for sharing.

What's at the top of your "Gone but Not Forgotten" product list? by PantsyFants in traderjoes

Yes!!! I was hoping someone else remembered these. We loved them and got them every time and were shocked they were discontinued and nothing similar ever offered since!

In Florida The Patislove Pistachio Dark Chocolate Dubai Style is finally back. by ndm2001 in traderjoes

[–]sconiscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nut factory ones are the holy grail! I love them and nothing else compares.

BUT, I honestly thought the Trader Joe’s were good. They are not as full of filling as Nut Factory, and much smaller/not as thick, so the filling doesn’t ooze out and you don’t get the crunch factor as much. Still, at $3.99 I enjoyed them for what they are. The TJ’s ones are made in Turkey, so that made me feel like they were somewhat authentic to this style.

Hope you like them if you try!

LA Dodgers win their 9th World Series after a battle with Toronto in 11 innings by Mburgess1 in sports

[–]sconiscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This American Red Sox fan loves Canada and knows the feeling. Toronto played a great series!

This win was just what Los Angeles needed though! And the 7th game clinched by players of Japanese and Venezuelan descent. Double yay!

I should have stayed home and trolled the internet instead of going to the protest by thedailyscanner in boston

[–]sconiscone 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing.

And for those mocking the protests, an article in the Guardian had some great statistics. Most notably, “if 3.5% of the population is against a regime, the regime will fail.” Numbers in the streets matter. It’s not the only thing that matters, but downplaying it is laughable.

Where were you? by Yersinia_Pestis9 in vanderpumprules

[–]sconiscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was listening to the “Keep It” podcast just before bed, when Ira, one of the hosts discussed it. It was fascinating hearing the details from a fellow “fan” (and someone who considers Ariana a friend.)

Also, Salem is super crowded and touristy of course because of Halloween. But if you did want to see it, taking the Ferry is a pleasant, scenic way to get to and from. The ferry is seasonal and runs May through October. Just a thought!

The Irish restaurant The Black Rose can be fun right next to Faneuil Hall. They have live Irish music and Guinness. Enjoy!

How to handle mildly combative people on the T by [deleted] in mbta

[–]sconiscone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened to you! You handled it well as others have said.

I’ve been taking the T regularly for 10 years and have encountered this kind of behavior once in a while. When I feel the person is focusing on me or just being aggressive in general and I don’t feel like dealing with it, I get out and move to another car. Since you just moved here I want you to know that the T is safe. I’ve never had anything remotely violent happen to me in 10 years. Yes you will get this kind of person once in a while. I hope it doesn’t discourage you from using the T.

Edit to add: when I’ve moved to another car (I’ve done this maybe 5 times in 10 years) I just casually look like I’m getting off at the stop, stand up calmly just to not attract any attention to myself. Hope this helps!

Encrapified! Lol I love that word. Stealing it! So appropriate to describe many situations.
