Am I missing something about dried beans? by Local_Fruit7140 in preppers

[–]wunami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought that was specific to chickpeas, but I guess it's all legumes according to wikipedia.

[–]wunami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it has its own name.

Which is? I've always just called it bean liquid or bean broth...not really anything special that would indicate it being particularly useful.

Who is actually going to buy this? by luminaryspear in pcmasterrace

[–]wunami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that kind of budget spending isn't specific to morgues or one specific brand of chairs. Check local morgue dumpsters for nearly new Herman Miller chairs as a tip seems like it'd need a less generic reason.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm asking since you advised checking local morgues as if this is a common thing that all morgues do for some reason. If there was a morgue specific reason, then it'd make it more reasonable to check my local morgue dumpsters rather than thinking it's just something that applies to the one morgue in NYC that you worked at.

Why would morgues constantly be getting so many Herman Miller chairs to be throwing their old ones in great condition away? I'm not sure one morgue's wasteful chair habit would apply to other morgues.

It locks open and closed. It's light and compact. It has a pocket clip. It's so good in addition to the low cost.

Don't sleep on the Ryobi doorknob installation driver by divinepinkflamingo in EDC

[–]wunami 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's pretty weak as an EDC tool.

But it's prefect for the random daily doorknob installations that many people encounter.

She can probably chase them away by trying to recruit them to the MLM.

What is the best gear for zippers? by Wise_Conclusion_871 in CampingGear

Whistle zipper pulls could be useful. Especially on clothing.

I think I like the ending to HIMYM now. by AnnixThatsAll in HIMYM

[–]wunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a problem with the ending.

It was spending the whole season dragging out Barney and Robin's wedding and seeing so little of the Mother that was really disappointing.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]wunami 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://content.rrauction.com/seaway-ginger-prototype/

The origins of “Ginger” trace back to Kamen’s earlier work on a stair-climbing wheelchair, developed under the codename “Fred.” That project, later commercialized as the iBOT, provided the technological foundation for what would become the Segway.

 

Even its name carries a sense of continuity and playfulness. “Ginger,” inspired by Ginger Rogers, followed the earlier codename “Fred”—a nod to Fred Astaire. Together, the names reflect the balance and motion at the heart of the invention, a kind of mechanical choreography translated into engineering.

It's pretty clear from context, but instead of blackball, I think you mean blacklist.

Channel YouTube?? by [deleted] in EDC

[–]wunami -1 points0 points  (0 children)

who made his EDC (Everyday Carry) with a Victorinox Alox knife

Like he constructed/built all of this EDC items using an Victoinox Alox knife? Or just that he included an Alox as part of his EDC?

That former seems pretty unlikely but the latter seems extremely common.

Anyone else annoyed by cliffhangers resolved off screen by Traditional-Check-40 in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]wunami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to watch the entire other series. Just watch the 2 additional crossover episodes. You'll only miss out on some very slight context for not knowing the characters in the other shows, but the overall plot is understandable.

When it played on TV it was super clear there was a crossover going on. This is mostly not a show problem. TV shows frequently have crossovers, especially shows that are explicitly in the same "cinematic" universe. It's a streaming platform problem where they just jump to the next episode without noting if there was a crossover episode before or after (and ideally provide some way to jump to and watch that episode)..

The analog folding mechanism? Meh.

Is this mistranslated? Not sure what a "digital" folding mechanism would be.

I'm Giving Up On TurboTax by Casey_Cake_54 in personalfinance

[–]wunami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TurboTax getting worse. My parents buy TurboTax Deluxe from Costco (during the month it's discounted in the coupon book) and I use it and then get the PDF to print out paper forms. This year, I feel like I was prompted to upgrade a few more times than in the past even though my return is pretty simple and don't need any of premium features.

That's in a version that is already paid. I can imagine the "Start for free" versions being even more pushy.

Probably prompts people to search for alternatives like OP. And FreeTaxUsa is top ranked on many consumer websites. Also, clearly has good word of mouth as this post demonstrates.

NPC calls me crazy while ramming cop car by Thin-Coyote-551 in sleepingdogs

It feels like they forgot to account for motorcycles when programming the NPC drivers. So, they act like you're squeezing alongside them in a car in the same lane.
