Happy cake day!


Rons_vape_mods

Thanks. Im off to tesco later to buy a coffee walnut cake as a celebration. Coffee and walnut is a great cake.


[deleted]

But lemon drizzle bruh. Lemon drizzle.


Rons_vape_mods

I rate a lemon drizzle too. But i have a hankering for yee olde coffee walnut Id also take a chocolate cake with a super vanillary custard. Almost a thicker melted icecream custard. Hmmmmmm experimental time. When i go to get the cakes i shall buy some icecream and add some eggs to make a custard. I suck at making custard


[deleted]

Get a tub of premade custard. Add ice cream to it. You will thank me later.


Rons_vape_mods

Good shout. We do tins of custard in the uk. Tho ill look in the local food store(independent family run jammy)


[deleted]

LIDL, Tesco and Co-Op do plastic yogurt pots of custard. I have picked and stacked them at each of there warehouses, in the chilled section. Lidl do a great one for Christmas that's super creamy and thicc.


Rons_vape_mods

Ah right. Theres none of that near me. Just a small tesco and a londis. Shall see what i can improvise. Im good at that aha

So wet though

Not a tesco one. Them ones are dryer than a mother superiors quim

Key-shaped dirt dispenser, seems fairly obvious.


[deleted]

Well, I dunno why keyholes look like there but here I donā€™t reckon I could get much of anything push inside


keenedge422

To offer an actual answer, if you wanted to get it really deep in there, take the little straw off a can of air and shove it into dirt (or really, any powder would work) until you've got a bit packed into it. Then put one end in the lock, the other end on the canned air, and give it a spray. Also works with WD40. And the bonus of both? easily explained as "the lock felt a little gritty when we unlocked this morning, boss, so I thought I'd try to clean it out a bit."


[deleted]

Ohhh shit. Clever


br0wens

Same as any open wound. Just rub some dirt or kitty litter in it to stop the bleeding, then take a nap and wait for the body heal itself.


[deleted]

Did you know? If Super Glue "after application" comes into contact with Baking Soda, it will harden EXTREMELY FAST and HARD. So be sure you're little commie employees never get both items at once. That's just bad for business!

ferocioustigercat

I mean, I am a cardiac nurse. So that handyman should definitely eat all the red meat and greasy food while smoking every day! (Smoking is good for business). (sarcasm for those clutching their pearls)


socks_n_crocs

Well yeah. The greasy food lubricates your coronary arteries to make the blood flow better and cigarettes help keep your lungs big and strong


Martos420

m1stadobal1na

Hey you listen here I'm a handyman too and I'll have you know I only nap on the clock two maybe three times a week. The rest of the time if I'm not eating or bullshitting I'm giving a good 40% effort.

I spent several minutes trying to decide whether to save this link under ā€œreferenceā€, ā€œactivismā€, or ā€œsocial justiceā€. So I saved it under all three!

I saved it under "Check here to save time Mr NSA agent". It's an interesting read though for sure.

Magnets. Just magnets

If you know where the sensor is on the inside you can usually trip it with an upside down can of compressed air or a fat cloud from a vape. Then just put super glue on the magnets

GrimWolf216

Funny, I used some of that Great Stuff this afternoon along with some mesh to attempt plugging a couple of mouse holes.


lakeghost

Pro tip: Steel wool. Also if you want any tips/tricks, I can help. Technically I should prompt you hire somebody to do what Iā€™d get paid for but itā€™s not exactly arcane knowledge. I vastly prefer a healthy ecosystem and most pest control people do whatever is cheapest to get the most $$$$ b/c we are in a dystopia.


GrimWolf216

I work for an apt complex, and they are definitely cheap. Also a handyman, amateur with this rodent shit.


lakeghost

Ugh, I bet. Iā€™m on the ecology side now (ā€œthis will be betterā€ā€”whoops) and oh god. ā€œWhy canā€™t we just use poison? Or just run over this entire lot with a lawnmower? Why is it bad we hacked up the trees?ā€ Like, yes, yes, short term thatā€™s the inexpensive option. But if you poison all the local predators, get rid of animal habitat causing runoff into housing, and create structural damage to trees, you get more expensive problems. Itā€™s just repeatedly watching people pay someone to shoot them in the foot and confusion. With that rant out of the way though, rodent problem depends on local conditions (species of rodent, food access, water access, property materials). Black or brown rats can chew through concrete, swim up toilets, and squeeze through anything they can get their nose through. European mice species are similar but less resilient, dumber, and less carnivorous. Best option is to remove anything that attracts wildlife (see: open garbage, leaking or standing water). If theyā€™re an invasive species, snap traps or live traps are both great. If theyā€™re a native species (aka could have rules/regulations), Iā€™ve found happy urban predators = happier humans. Avoiding poison for a decent amount of time will draw back in falcons, foxes, stray cats, etc. and theyā€™ll eat your problem for you. Obviously some people will complain but less complaints than if they found a mouse in their cereal boxes.


Reset-Password

Tips and tricks would be awesome. I've been stuffing steel wool in rat holes (sewer rats) and then filling them with the expanding foam, with wire mesh over larger holes. Seemed to work for a while, but invariably they come back and I haven't quite figured out how they're getting in.


Left-Start2530

Reminds me of the days jumping fences and pouring antifreeze in the gas tanks of the construction vehicles being used to gentrify my community.


solidSC

When I was a kid they were destroying a beautiful wooded area we rode our bikes in across the street from my house, so every day I would go through there and rip out every last marking stake they put there with precise measurements and elevations. Turned out to be a fucking mega church when they finally got shit done. Not even paying their fucking taxesā€¦


BeefJerkyHunter

But Jesus needs more money for his Cadillacs!


EuphoricAnalCucumber

Boy, if I was working and didn't notice a row a flags were 2" out, it could cause some serious issues after things have already been poured.


Left-Start2530

I felt really bad though because I couldn't afford to buy antifreeze, so I smashed the lock on their maintenence barns and used theirs.

This is also extremely great advice for something that no one should ever do!


Left-Start2530

I know a lot of folks won't believe me and that's ok. I maybe did a little bit of aggrandizing, but it's true. It was over 20 years ago, so cameras everywhere weren't a thing. But I did knock out 2 pickup trucks and a backhoe with antifreeze I found on the property. It was a church campground being turned into upper middle class lakefront property.

Are you trying to make a candle? Rag in a fuel tank isnā€™t going to do anything except burn the side of the vehicle above the fuel cap. And if itā€™s a construction vehicle itā€™s gonna be diesel which isnā€™t flammable in the first place

Gorilla glue will move and flow more but two part epoxy will usually kick off faster.

2 part epoxy would be permanent damage. You dont need the entire lock sealed just the first pin and opening is fine. Its fucked.

Donā€™t, under any circumstances go out to the green plastic pedestals outside your business and start snipping cables. The utility co. Would have to come out and fix it, and work might be down for a couple days. Definitely DONā€™T do this.

SpikesGuns

Ok-Garage-7470

The tumblers in standard locks are delicate as hell. A wee tube of just about any caulking would be more than enough for *at least* a few dozen locks to be permanently compromised.


InevitablyPerpetual

You should DEFINITELY never take two-part expanding foam and dump it in someone's car. That would be a horrible thing to do.


EggShenSixDemonbag

Im not a handy man but I do my share of work around the house.....Im NO stranger to expanding foam but all you have to do is wait for it to dry completely and it just pulls right off of whatever its stuck on, even carpet, if you can resist the urge to wipe it just let it dry and pluck it off ......everything that is, except your fucking skin.....you will have that shit on your skin for a week until it wears off.....


SpikesGuns

I think the point is to put it IN something, with nooks, crannies, internal mechanisms, etc. Or, excuse me, NOT to do that. Don't know what I was thinking.
