Not sure about the ear but Maori tattoos are part scarification part tattoo. Very badass. Look at pictures if you can find them; the work is often impressive.

I was reading this whole article about how the internet is destroying Maori culture because the kids can go online and read up on the initiation rituals and find out things they're not supposed to know in advance like how the coconut in question is actually filled with fire ants that then are supposed to bite them in the face and eyes and inside their mouths. captainOrbital has a new favorite as of 23:41 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Otana posted:When I was in Japan, I had to peel grapes when I was eating them as a snack with my homestay family. I heard it's sort of a holdover from when pesticides on certain fruits and vegetables were a problem, so they got used to peeling them and even though it's not a problem anymore they've never gone back. It was annoying and time consuming, but just popping them straight into my mouth would have been rude as hell, apparently. At least in Korea, some grape varieties have really thick, sour/bitter skins that are pretty unpleasant to eat, although on the flip side the grape flesh usually shoots right out with a bit of pressure. And yeah I can confirm everyone putting the discarded skins and seeds back onto the fruit plate, getting juice and spit on their fingers. A fitting end to the $8 dollar bunch of grapes you bought at the department store. Most other fruits (apples, pears, persimmons, etc.) have to be peeled because pesticides  I was told to rinse even tangerines before peeling them to avoid rubbing your chemically tainted fingers all over the edible parts. If only I had access to a dishwasher that could have blasted all my fruit with hot soapy water...

Luckyellow posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa8ax-zHoGo I do a lot of home casting with stuff like cool resin and epoxy and Lego are by far the preferred tool for almost all home molding stuff, from scale miniatures to action figures to jewelry. It's basically water tight when pressed together, they can be arranged into tough molds that most expanding stuff cant break, and most importantly you can build two piece molds that snap together. Also if you're doing stuff with food they are ABS plastic so you can sterilize them with tablets in water and such. Tiggum posted:If you're already OK with stealing, why not just go all the way and not pay at all? When I was really really poor (like, living in a tent in my friend's yard for an entire summer poor) I would go through the self checkout and key in massive bags of just add water bulk pancake mix as flour because it was a third of the price and I was eating waffles for most of my meals. The reason you do it is because it's much much harder to catch than shoplifting, pretty much no security guard will check you if you go through the checkout, and there were two food banks in my town but one requires you to have an address that matches your state ID and the other requires you to be a college student.

The bulk seeds/nuts/grains dept is just as easy to raid. Some of those items that are like $18/lb look drat similar to ones that are maybe $3 Additionally, the devices at self-checkout are weight-sensitive. Scan a pound of canned corn, then toss that pound of fresh meat in the bag. Rescan the corn...instant savings! *Only works when you're buying other things at retail value* Cashiers are pretty overwhelmed/lazy, but they sometimes half-rear end it. (according to grocery folks)

The_Book_Of_Harry posted:The bulk seeds/nuts/grains dept is just as easy to raid. I actually ran into the reverse of this - the store had a "make your own trail mix" station that was $5/pound, with various nuts, dried fruits and chocolate pieces you could mix together. I filled a container with cashews and marked the PLU for the trail mix (bear in mind there was no "must mix at least 2 ingredients" rule), and the cashier tried to tell me I was cheating the system because cashews were $7/pound from the bulk section. A manager allowed me to buy it at the lower price, but not long after that cashews, almonds and a few other items that sold individually at a higher price per pound were removed from the trail mix stand.

Are we sharing actual crimehacks now? Because a puffy winter jacket can carry a surprising amount of food! For summertime fun, craft a paper-mache pregnancy belly for the same effect. I watched someone accidentally drop four packages of meat out the bottom of their coat, but the pregnancy belly was only a thing I read in a comic book.

Most hotels I've been to recently make you tell them your room number and cross it off a list before you can enter the breakfast area. I guess you could just make up a room number but you'd have to both guess a number that actually has someone staying in it and get one who hasn't been to breakfast already. Maybe it would be easy in motels where the "continental breakfast" is just a basket of stale rolls and a thing or two of cereal, but I can't see how that would be worth it unless you're homeless and starving.

They don't have hands free pumps in Europe, so maybe that's where it comes from. I remember the first time I used a U.S. pump, I was overwhelmed with delight at being able to just walk off.

It even says on the pump not to do that because then the pump can't click itself off and you'll spill gas.

Some US states and other countries don't allow hands-free gas nozzles. Since it's probably not cost effective to manufacture separate nozzles for those states, sometimes they have the clip but it just doesn't work.
