  • so I actually had a friend years back who worked at a junkyard.

    I was hanging out there with him one time (definitely probably not smoking anything…) and he was still clearing things out.

    so he grabs a propane tank and brings it up to where he has an oxyacetylin torch, lights the torch and starts cutting into the tank.

    I about shit my pants and took off at least 50 ft back behind a car asking if he was trying to die today.

    apparently I was the one that didn’t know what I was talking about though because of a second later he cut through and it just popped a little flame.

    he just let that flame burn until it was out and that’s how he knew the tank was empty.

    apparently these things are very hard to blow up.



  • yeah they definitely need to improve degradation time, but there absolutely is reason to use them instead of TP.

    I don’t use all the time but tried them during recovery based on the recommendation of the surgeon that removed my hemorrhoids.

    significantly easier on the healing bum than tp was, bidet gets most of it but you’re not 100% clean every time.

    (I don’t think I’ve ever not had to wipe a time or two even after lots of movement and higher pressure on bidet. wipes clean better than tp, and bidet just doesn’t get everything unless you’re one of those lucky people that wouldn’t use much tp anyway)









  • at my old company I had a co-worker who was moderately competent if he tried but didn’t seem to do so all that often.

    My boss had been dangling a promotion for me for a few months, and I’d put in some extra work during that time related to my co-worker who seemed to be unable to manage a development team for one of his projects.

    promotion time came and even though my manager was very aware that I was doing a significant portion of a co-worker’s job, they offered the co-worker the promotion in order to keep them around since they had another job offer.

    I think I was gone in about 2 months? didn’t take too long to line something better up.
