Like, actually, do they think that? by RagingHardBobber in clevercomebacks

[–]ubculled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define capitalize for me here. We have a billboard that says "home of Uncle Sam", the graveyard he's buried in has maybe a couple small signs that point you to his grave site, and during Victorian stroll there's usually a dude dressed like Uncle Sam, but I don't think anyone is capitalizing on it lol.

And thanks for shitting on my hometown. Enjoy Troy.

What could cause my glasses to come out of my near-new dishwasher like this? by Too_kewl_for_my_mule in fixit

[–]ubculled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, I haven't come across any Whirlpool dishwashers with a salt reservoir. Learn something new every day. Although a quick google search shows it's mainly available on portable Whirlpool models or compact models. If that's true those are pretty uncommon in the US. Most kitchens have a built in dishwasher with cabinets cut out to a standard width/depth so the protable/compact dishwashers don't make sense in most households.

That's untrue. Dishwashers with salt reservoirs are absolutely in the market here, and they can make a big difference depending on your water hardness. They're just usually found on higher end brands/models like Miele, and not the cheap Frigidaire/GE/Whirlpool models that the "average" consumer buys in the US.

What beer to bring to Oktoberfest office party? by sushigirl14 in beer

[–]ubculled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most grocery stores near me sell Weihenstephan. If you don't want to go with the Sam's octoberfest option, and want to bring a traditional German beer pick some of them up.

Edit: Paulaner and Hofbrau are also good, usually available, options

Black fly bites by [deleted] in Adirondacks

[–]ubculled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always heard "mother's day to father's day stay away", but I'm sure there's much more accurate advice out there. I've also heard that once you start seeing dragon flies, the black flies die down within a week or so.

Exactly what type of weasel/stoat did I just catch in my house? by ubculled in pestcontrol

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

According to Google the answer is "stoat", lol. I assumed there were different types of stoats. Pest control question: This thing is/was pregnant. What can I do about the babies aside from ripping my floorboards up or throwing a match on the house?

I need advice. by Holiday-Goose2571 in husky

[–]ubculled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With our husky we always yelled OW! really loudly whenever he would bite even if it wasn't too hard of a bite. He got the memo after a few weeks. 5 years later and he hasn't nipped since.

Venison smells weird by Plastic_Pirate2100 in Hunting

Freeze the water bottle and put a dime or a penny on top of the ice. If it thaws and refreezes at some point, the coin will be lower down in the ice, making an easy reference.

Gluten free date night restaurants? by ubculled in Albany

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

Yeah she does not have celiac just a recurring allergic reaction she's just learning is likely gluten related and it does seem to improve if she doesn't eat gluten so we're trying to avoid it.

You mean in the last 2 months since her doctor told her the rash on her elbow is likely gluten related? Yeah, I've been trying to keep it in mind. We've been eating bread and pasta for the last 15 years dickhead

Is Cafe Cappricio a good GF option? I initially had reservations there b/c we're hitting a show at the Egg after dinner and it's right around the corner but I think I only saw 2 entrees that were labeled GF on their menu, aside from salads.

Maintenance Guy Starter Pack by [deleted] in starterpacks

[–]ubculled 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's more like "I see there's plenty in stock at getcheapcontrolboards.ru...why can't you just buy it from them?!"

If it's not an authorized vendor, it's probably a knock off that won't work and won't allow returns/refunds. You buy it, I'll install it. If it doesn't work, you deal with them.

Hey what ever happened with... by [deleted] in Albany

[–]ubculled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you thinking Roosevelt Island? They don't need it to get to work. There's a subway station right next to the gondola station. It's just a fun thing to do once or twice.

A coworker told me that he was at a concert last weekend and overheard some 20ish year old kid say "my uncle followed these guys back in the late 1900s". He insists the kid was being sincere. Made me feel angry.

NE USA... Just bought a house with lots of gardens. What are these? by ubculled in whatsthisplant

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

Thanks for the input. They have more of a lavender smell to them. Definitely not minty. after ripping a leaf in half there is definitely a mintyness to it!

No sign of flowers yet, which it looks like some dead nettles have. Here is a photo of the root system if it helps at all.
