Nostalgia4Murder posted:That poo poo was never funny. How did that even start? I feel like it is a good shorthand for the gentle reminder that for all our achievements and aspirations, ultimately we are all going to die, and nothing we ever have done will matter. Even if you become the most famous person in the history of the planet, and great monuments are built in your honor, everything you or anyone else has ever built can be blown away in an eyeblink. You know, kind of like a modern day Ozymandias. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_qvy82U4RE

I guess it's the in thing now to hate on stuff that was popular even if a bit played out (my screed included), but I feel it speaks to a lot of us in a way of seeing how stupid humanity is and nothing mattering for the most part so just live your life and be happy because not much else matters and you can't change human nature. So without further ado, SMDFTB you gently caress men, gently caress this gay earth, because i don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.  You dropped this.

Had a dream that an exterior-type outdoor faucet (that you would connect a garden hose to) blew in one of the rooms of my mom's house when I was trying to fix it. Woke up, realized how insane that was, but my homeowner dadbrain wouldn't shut up about fixing the problem. Should I go to Lowes, or Home Depot? Do I need a specialty plumbing shop for that part? Should I bring in a picture of the faucet with measuring tape showing the diameter? Where's the master shutoff for the water inside the house? Is there an exterior water shutoff? Will my mother/brother need to come over while they wait to get that fixed? How expensive is it going to be? Is that plumbing contractor I know available for emergency work? It never occurred to me until just now that the drywall might get soaked and could use replacing.

Check under the sinks for a knob for the main cut off. Short of that, there's a water meter at the street. If it's a hall-type cut-off, you'll be turning it for a while, but it will eventually close and you can drain the house. You don't need a specialty part, faucets are cheap, just make sure you get the right size and use thread tape when you install it. But if you've never done anything like that before, just call a plumber.

i had one burst in the middle of winter and I just called rotorooter dudes to do it because gently caress that. It was only like $200 which is pretty good for a home repair really. They had to chip off a huge block of ice and it was like 5 degrees out haha.

Y'all are missing that this was a dream and only grover would put an outdoor spigot/faucet on the inside of the house. That dream I had just triggered all of the I MUST FIX IT I MUST FIX IT OH GOD THERE COULD BE WATER EVERYWHERE impulses and once those start, good luck getting back to sleep. Unless there's some way to take pictures of dreams, that'd be rad as hell. In realdad world, I'm super-pumped to sharpen my rotary lawnmower over the weekend. Got the instructions and everything, just need to find a brick-and-mortar place that has lapping fluid (looking like an auto parts store trip).

loving hell. Someone used my ebay account to purchase a $500 Digimatic Indicator, Battery. Was able to call ebay/paypal right away and get it sorted But right after it happened now my email is being registered on all kinds of websites, still going on. There's at least 100+ now, ugh. It's clearly some sort of bot/script I don't think my email address was compromised, but I changed that password and enabled 2FA to be sure Anyone ever had this happen? It's my personal email, loving hell. Not sure who I pissed off

Should I buy a knife sharpening stone or just find a place to take my set? It's been years, so they desperately need it.

315 emails now, still going Yeah, they're using all kinds of random account names etc. I assume they wanted to do the ebay purchase and then flood my email with this poo poo to hide the purchase confirmation email I guess, who knows. My email is secure though so  guess i'll have to forever unsubscribe to email lists now

Last year I got bombarded with phone calls, texts, and emails from auto moving companies in Miami, Florida. Apparently someone used my name, email, and phone number to request a quote to move a Bentley Continental from my old address to Miami. I explained this to one of the callers and he said "oh, man, I'm sorry - when someone puts in one of those quote requests, it goes to EVERY MOVING COMPANY in the area. I think there's over 100 of us." So keep this in mind if you need to prank someone, I guess.

You either got phished or your email/password combo was used elsewhere and they got hacked. Check any accounts for recovery addresses that might have been changed

My pass for ebay was pretty old and I think poo poo got compromised long ago according to: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (Great website, check it out) So partly my fault I guess. At this point they're just simply using my email to register for sites. No indication if they're using my phone number or address...yet

Booblord Zagats posted:Just pay someone to do it. I have a friend who does it as a side business and the money he's spent on good sharpening poo poo hurts to think about Correct answer. What you can do is get a good steel (not a whetstone or anything fancy) and just give each knife a kiss with that before you use it. Maintains the edge and keeps them sharp longer.

That all happened to us last year. The faucet was teed off the main incoming pipe and it was a lovely mess. Tl:dr unhook the water hose prior to freezing weather, and maybe cover that thing with those foam cover thingies Edit is the faucet broken?

First day of vacation and my loving air conditioner goes out. The thermostat on the wall just wasn't on. I checked the breakers, nothing wrong there. Called the landlord, they told me to check the breakers. Then they told me to put batteries in my thermostat since it runs either way. The thermostat is back on but it's not kicking on the A/C so they are bringing me wall units to use for the weekend until a tech comes monday.

I sleep with it on 65 and when I wake up I turn the head on to 70 for a few minutes. Did that like usual and said gently caress it and went back to sleep because it's my vacation bitches. Anyway I got up a couple hours later and it isn't working anymore. I'm getting flashbacks of Ft Campbell summer days when they hadn't turned the AC on so I would have to sleep in a damp shirt just to be comfortable. For some reason it's way easier to sleep in 110 degree afghan heat than it is to sleep in American heat.
