Most supermarkets will somewhere have a pile of loaves of bread that come in paper bags instead of plastic and aren't sliced. These breads were baked that morning, have no high fructose corn syrup or preservatives in them, and only as much sugar as is needed to feed the yeast for the style. This is the kind of bread most of the world eats. You will have to deal with slicing it yourself *gasp* and it will go hard after three days and moldy after five *gasp* because that's what bread does when it's not loaded up with propylene glycol and BHT. If you want bread that still lasts a while, buy the dense rye bread that comes in this style and slice it thinly. You will never go back to squishy, mealy sandwich bread again. If you do you're a giant baby. Karma Monkey posted:Herp derp America sucks blah blah blah This is just oiling the wood. You can get a similar effect with a rag and a $8 can of danish oil that will last you the rest of your life if you're just using it for touch-ups like this.

The thing, I've been tempted of using this. It's also used by the people who make "artistic pancakes".)

The latch thing is right there in the photo. Also, dude, that could actually be dangerous, wouldn't it bypass the automatic shutoff?

The latch pops when the tank is full. The gas cap will just sit there while gas pours out. Wanamingo posted:I get what you're saying, but I've honestly never seen a gas pump that doesn't need the handle to be held down for it to work. Really? Every single latch on every single pump handle you've ever used was busted? lovely luck, dude.

Guys, some states have laws against the auto-pump latches. Sometimes you'll see the little latch on the handle, but it's been made useless. Diesel is one frequent exception, because making a trucker stand there for 15 minutes is a sure way to get them to skip over your state.

But it's still a stupid hack. ETA: Unless the laws changed after 2011, apparently Mass is the only US state to have banned the pump latches. They're probably banned in Europe though.

Hint: If you don't use the latch thing and just squeeze the handle gas doesn't come shooting out when the tank is full and the pump doesn't force your hand open.

The guy who posted that is probably from a state (or province -- Ontario is this way, Quebec is not, don't know about the others) where the latches to hold the pump on are illegal. He's naive but it's not really that stupid, or any more dangerous than the pumps that have the actual latch built in, just lazy. Also don't most cars have the gas cap attached to the gashole with a plastic retainer of some kind? You'd have to cut that off to do this and then you risk losing the cap.

Jose Valasquez posted:I don't think either of you understand how the automatic shutoff works. You can get a bit more gas in after the shutoff clicks by squeezing the handle again, in my experience, so I was concerned that wedging the handle like that wouldn't allow it to click back when it was done. Although I haven't done that for years after realizing that getting your total to an even dollar amount isn't actually worth the associated fume and leak risk, so maybe they've changed the handles since I last tried it.

Karma Monkey posted:Yea, and some states won't even let you pump your own gas. But it's still a stupid hack. I don't know whether they're banned, but every pump I've ever used (UK) hasn't got any kind of latch. And they automatically cut off without the handle needing to be opened. And this derail went on for like two pages when it came up in the Scadenfreude thread. Some places don't have latching petrol pumps. Don't let it derail this thread too?

Here in Europe you buy gas in plastic bags, then place the bag in a plastic gas jug (or "petrol Benny" as they call it in the UK) and use that to fill the tank.

 The only potential risk with it is if the sensor that detects when the tank is full somehow fails, and the gas overflows.

Or if you're a fat idiot and trip over the fuel line and yank it out of the hole while it's filling and it sprays gas everywhere. That could happen too.

SomeJazzyRat posted:I think it might be for when you go out to get the mail or go to the bank, e.x. important adult stuff. The idea being that they can dry while you do things. However, why wouldn't you just wait till like a Thursday evening to do it proper and inside without having to worry about having to do other things? Bertrand Hustle posted:Also, paint your toenails inside like a civilized person, not outside in freezing weather like a loving maniac. If your house isn't heated you have bigger problems than not being able to comfortably paint your toenails. It has nothing to do with painting your toenails or letting them dry, it's so that you can still show off your painted toes in the winter without your feet freezing off. (your feet will still freeze off in a sock that only covers your heel)
