But then how are farmers going to get the federal corn kickbacks!!

Also.

only about 1 percent of the corn we grow is eaten as corn

I feel like the dad taught him that one...

What is stealthing?

So-called 'stealthing' is a form of rape. It happens when people agree to have sex with a condom and then someone either lies about putting a condom on or removes it without the other person's permission.

Leaving and finding a room.
Removing gloves and getting into position.
Doing the deed.
Scrubbing again and putting gloves back on.
Eight minutes

I'd take longer than that pooping in that situation.

Sea salt. Used on more items.

Pepper. Used in volume.

Even better. Slice it into three parts. East, west and middle.

East and west can be one and middle can be on its own.

I saw in a documentary that the government actually buys gutter oil for more than they could sell it elsewhere 5o curb it being used in actual food...

You still have issues with packed vs unpacked and leveled spoons with flour/baking soda/baking powder. Grams are just more precise.

I have a pancake recipe in grams.

I use my food scale for brewing espresso.

I understand needing the miligram scale for yeast doing microbrew. My family already calls me a scientist for espresso. That scale would be funny in my kitchen.

I often have issues explaining to literally everyone that oz and fl oz are not the same... Only true match is water which is what it was created for.

8oz is weight.
8 fl oz is volume...

So a cup of flour is a volume measurement of something that should be measured by weight.

I bought a food scale and gram everything now.

It'll be okay. You'll live.

American here. I always sucked at baking until I discovered a UK site using the metric master race measurements.

It was all in grams instead of tablespoons/ounces/cups.

Suddenly my shit was perfect...

Starting to watch local markets.

This one feels like a scam or stolen at $175 even if all the batteries are shot.

I needed two similar pieces of wood to prevent my sofa from banging against the wall and damaging it.

Cut the pieces and it was ugly and misshapen. Have a hand pane so I shaved off the jagged bits.

Miter boxes don't help when you can't keep a saw steady.

Just bought my first home and still unpacking.

The list of things to fix is ever growing. The bathroom vanity latch is the first one the list!

We're hoping to renovate but in the meantime one door won't open (latch) and two mirrors shake when you open them.

Latch is an easy fix. Got parts locally. Replaced the broken one. Wife loves the loud strong click. Wants them all upgraded. Good thing I bought upgrades too. So they're all new now. Shame they're not tan but the click is good.

The mirrors are peeling off the wood. Uninstalled, glued and reinstalled.

Glued them up, put weight on it overnight to cure. Cardboard under the mirrors to protect them. Wood to direct pressure and tools to weigh it down.

 

I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!

Edit: She followed up with: "you're enjoying yourself too much"
Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!

I borrowed some landscaping tools from my brother in law and he offered his old air compressor since he doesn't use it. Broken tube. Easy normal part to replace.

Got a air compressor accessories kit on the way home. Replaced the hose and tip. Plugged it in outside. Left it for 10 minutes...

Never turned off. Hmm. Might be one of those that have a release valve and not auto shutoff.

20 PSI? That's odd. Unplugged it. Hissing...
Air coming out the bottom. Maybe a puncture?

Found the spot. Got 80 grit sandpaper and 3300 PSI rated epoxy. Sanded and found rust.

Patched it and my spidey sense went off while looking at the epoxy...

Did a search:

A leaking air compressor tank—especially with a leak on the bottom where corrosion is likely—can be extremely dangerous, even if "repaired" with epoxy or other sealants. The primary risk is catastrophic rupture under pressure. If the integrity of the tank is compromised (for example, by internal rust or a patched-up hole), the tank can explode with explosive force, launching shrapnel and causing severe injury or death, as well as property damage

When tanks rupture, the velocity of air and shrapnel can be lethal. For example, a 60-gallon tank at 150 PSI can explode violently, creating 680 mph air blasts and extremely loud noise, both of which are highly hazardous for bystanders

Nope! Tossing it!
Dodged a nearly literal bullet there.
