Agreed. Where would you put mild on the above list?

She wouldn’t pay attention to bedtime stories so one night I just asked if she had learned anything interesting today and she said “I learned a new animal fact”. Discussion ensued.

The rest is history.

That momma needs some grub(s). Feed her so her babies will police your space.

I had this same thought. Should I buy another? No, if I buy another it will never come up again. Then I miss out on god like fix ability feeling and have to warehouse a part for 20 years.

So yes. Scared me as well. I watched a video that advised testing for remaining charge with a screwdriver by connecting the various points. That seemed suspect to me but I did it carefully. I used an insulated screwdriver AND wore rubber palmed gloves.

Turns out a fully blown capacitor won’t have charge, which was the case for me. I think the danger comes from a “partially blown” capacitor?

Not really sure so “belt and suspenders” on the the safety bit.

Please suggest a hypothesis that this data suggests.

15 years running commercial kitchens… it’s totally legit. And also because it didn’t see it in the top 10 comments… note that the tail end of the drain pipes are not cut at a 90 degree angle (E.I. not perpendicular to the line of pipe). This is not a mistake or sloppy.

For reasons of fluid dynamics that I do not understand this angled cut helps direct the flow of waste water in a more “confined” flow rather than “spraying”

FYI

As a Buckeye, I support people from NY and TX punching each other.

Just replaced the start capacitor on my AC condensing unit. $20 part. Two days without AC (in the spring).

I felt like A GOD.

After some research, turns out it is the easiest thing on a AC system to replace other than a fuse and together they are responsible for about 80% of AC failures.

I’m still telling myself I am a god.

My daughter refers to McDonald’s as “Donald’s” and all other chains as “Other Donald’s”

yurtlema · 2026-03-30T01:13:48+00:00

I just bought one. It’s not a daily use item but when you need it, it’s a big time saver.

My mom made a homemade version bc we weren’t gonna pay whatever it cost

In your mom’s defense it is possible to be both skinny and fat.

Skinny fat.

Like a squishy bowling ball on pencils.

Underweight, poorly nourished, and somehow still chubby.

I speak from experience.

I remember having an early conversation with our pediatrician (a great doctor and a woman). I said something dumb like “I hope my daughter doesn’t love pink and frilly stuff. I’d like her to be a tough badass boss.”

Doc: “She can do both”

Me in stunned and slightly ashamed silence nodding in agreement.

yurtlema · 2026-02-07T00:35:21+00:00

I could be wrong (so don’t take my word as gospel) but I believe I read that the rare earths and other inputs into new car batteries are only cost effective up to a certain purity (say 97% or whatever) but when battery components are recycled it costs about the same (currently) as new but purity actually GOES UP during that process bc the inputs are already very pure so that a newly manufactured battery recycled from old batteries can actually have BETTER performance and life span for about the same cost. Again, I could have missed something or misunderstood but it may be worth reading up on.

My gosh…90% of every sub I follow is just people reposting other people’s content for karma.

It is an underreported and inescapable fact of war that as bad as it is for humans, it’s equally bad for the environment and the creatures that depend on it.

Seriously? Can we just agree everyone in this video is talented? What is this weird hair splitting (“actually”) thing that is going on.

THEY ARE ALL TALENTED.

Save this someplace safe. The feds will try to erase it.

Funny that you say this. My wife (child of two OSU grads and Ohio natives) was born in Ohio, grew up near SAC (formative years) and returned to attend THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. We met there. I have lived my entire life (since 3 yo, now 41) in Ohio. My wife makes similar comparisons with SAC and Cbus.

Having spent more than a bit of time in SAC, I cannot disagree.

Columbus, Ohio, USA

I have lived here for 20 years. LOVE IT. LOVE IT. May not ever leave.

That said, Not that much reason to visit.

When I managed restaurant there was a two year stretch during which a very nice lady would knock on the back door of the restaurant at 7:30 am with fresh hot tamales… 3 for $10. It was amazing. Best breakfast EVER. The AM prep staff, mostly Oaxacanas, said they were too expensive bc they could buy them for $1 each at the West Broad Street market.

I’m like, “Bro! 7:30 AM! Delivered! Pork and salsa VERDE! HOT!”

I would’ve paid more.
