    We were initially just planning on hiring someone to replace all this stuff. I’m glad we didn’t, not just for the money savings, but despite how frustrated I get while trying to DIY shit, it does feel really good knowing you’ve done a task yourself and every new tool I get just means there’s...

    We have a switch outlet in every room, unfortunately. We never use them since we have ceiling lighting in each, but I’m not sure how to properly disconnect all that shit myself, so I guess they’re staying.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Once realized I had missed scanning some bottles of shampoo on a grocery trip when they still had the scan as you go app. Honest mistake, but still. Scanned them and put them back next shopping trip to make up for it. Feel like a nerd doing it, but my conscience won’t let me not try to fix that...

    I get jealous every time my dad comes over with his bucket. I am slightly salty, because I was hoping that one day the massive collection of tools he had to build our house was going to get passed down to me, but he ended up selling just about all of it, since I was still in an apartment and...

    I apparently left my damn wire cutters with my old Arduino kit when I sold that a few years ago, so yeah, gotta go buy some. Of course, we apparently need to get different modules…the ones that came in this kit are three-ways and Dad says we can’t use a 3-way switch to replace our basic bitch...

    FUCK THIS SHIT I put the fucking screwdriver in the fucking hole until the lever pressed down. The wire will come out some of the way and then it just gets fucking stuck.

    Mine looked like this. Couldn’t get a screwdriver in because the little button was so far in. Only thing I had was my flimsy pin vice. Felt like you needed three hands for this shit: one to hold the pin in, one to hold the outlet and one to actually pull out the damn wire. But I may be a retard.

    Husband wants to style the guest room like a little speakeasy, so did some tiny changes today to get started. Haven’t replaced an outlet in years! Fuck this push-in shit. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just used the ol’ hook method. Broke one of my pin vices trying to push the little...

    Can barely fit both our cars in our “2-car” garage. I do need to look for some wall racks or storage so we can start putting some of the tools up on the wall. I can shove my CRV in there, too, but it’s snug and has also led to the husband taking off the side frame of the garage and doing $1k in...

    Mount just takes 6 regular drinks; 3 if we can find a special flavor. There’s also the little minion for 100 points, also. No idea on the multiple redemption thing.

    Are you sure this is the case? I understood it to mean certain buttons that get replaced after taking certain actions on the same hotkey. Video at the relevant time. It seemed to more address spamming a button and having the button transform and you accidentally hitting the transformed button...

    From the carcass of the can, looks like latex. I guess can we just use the power washer to blast off the concrete. Sadly no funny story, he just ran over the paint can with his car and it exploded.

    Figured this is as good a place as any to ask: any recommendations for paint cleaner/remover? Husband just bukkaked our garage. Got most of the paint off the car, minus the tire, but not sure what to use on the rest of the victims. Was an exterior rated paint if that helps.

    Found some honey balsamic glaze that we got from the mother-in-law a while back that I wasn’t sure what to do with. Had some thin chicken breasts laying around, so got the chicken in a bit of seasoned flour/panko and put them in some butter and garlic then threw in some glaze and coated...

    I never got it either. If I want a statue/model of something, I kinda want it to be…detailed? I guess it’s easier to say you have a cool collection of something when you only have to spend $5 for some shitty doll (I swear if these cost more than $5…Jesus). Blizzard’s lost the plot, but I’m still...

    Gonna get me extra salty, since we didn’t get to see them, either. Friday night was full clouds/fog, and while last night cleared up after that storm, seems like we’d already missed seeing anything. Parents got to see a whole bunch from TN. Lucky.

    For what it's worth, last I talked to my doctor and mentioned I was trying to drink more water during the day, she said to make sure to get some salt in there with it, otherwise it just doesn't really do shit.

    Not sure if you have the same kind of sciatic issues, but my dad has a lot of leg pain on one side. He uses a brace/pad similar to this, though not sure what position/orientation. He says it’s helped him, for what it’s worth. www.amazon.com/FCNUSX-Sciatica-Relief-Devices-Brace/dp/B0C38WH7VG
