I found out about this case through the chubbyemu video. Not sure how much of this was embellishment, but the way it's explained in the video is that the pasta was left out for a couple days, then thrown into the refrigerator by a roommate who didn't know it was probably bad. The guy then took out a portion of the pasta, completely unaware that it had gone rancid. Definitely a more believable mistake (although still pretty irresponsible of the meal prepper).

Same, except from the pipe for me. A nice high quality tobacco from my favorite pipe really hits the spot sometimes, plus it makes me feel classy as hell.

Hot take: AITA (and even moreso those "Reddit Stories" channels on TikTok and YouTube) is just The Jerry Springer Show for Gen Z.

Oh believe me, even though I thought it was a good read, I have a lot of criticism for the story. God forbid literally any kind of emergency happens and additional fuel is needed to avoid catastrophe. I get wanting to maximize space for supplies, but the risk far outweighs the benefits of operating on such tight margins.

I can tell you from experience that there's a 90% chance she absolutely was trying to draw you in to sell you something

I did automation work for a sewage treatment center that did regular water testing as part of treatment. Most of these kinds of jobs are automated for the most part. There's always a human operator present to supervise and to do some small function that is still cheaper to have done manually instead of by machine.

I had to switch from kdenlive to DaVinci Resolve recently and it breaks my heart. I'm by no means a professional, but I am a heavy user who is frequently sifting throughout footage. Unfortunately, crashes are still very common for a power user. After encountering a memory corruption bug for the second time that resulted in lost project work (despite saving to disk!!!), I had to switch to something better.

TGIF indeed! This week has been a busy one. I plan on celebrating Mother's Day with family and volunteering for Stamp Out Hunger 😄 What about you?

Debian user here. This is scary accurate.

Last month, the power adapter to my router died out of nowhere. I wasted a ton of time troubleshooting literally everything else other than the power adapter because I've never had one die before the actual device itself.

Of course none of the other adapters I had on hand fit. I had to order a new one...

You ain't lying. Most of the bartenders at my favorite bottle shop / brewery are teachers doing a side hustle. They need the money.

Want your teachers to stop doing OF and more on the side? Pay them better.

Considering that this picture wasn't taken in the USA, I'd say that's a success on the Americans' part to anticipate stupidity.

Hi all. Anybody have any tips or tricks on making a bathroom sink drain faster without going through the process of taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together?

Normally when my bathroom sink starts to drain slowly, I remove the P-trap and push all the gunk through the bottom into a bucket using a metal rod. Now that I might be responsible for cleaning out several bathroom sinks, I'm starting to dread this process far more.

Drano works OK and makes the sinks drain a bit faster, but it usually gets bad pretty quickly again. Any tools I should be investing in for minor stoppages like this?

Hey all.

Over the past year, I've had bad luck with standard, non-motorized cordless blinds. I've had to replace 4 due to the tension mechanism failing (from what I can tell).

  • I've tried gently exercising the tension mechanism as suggested frequently online. This does not work.
  • I've checked for knots and have found none (I typically expect these for corded blinds).

I've been purchasing the Home Depot brand. Do I need to go for a more expensive brand? Did I just get a bad lot? Should I go for corded for supposedly easier troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance!
