I think I know who that is.[DOUBLEPOST=1498846509,1498846467][/DOUBLEPOST]
Would've been funnie
Here's his PBS show:
I grew up watching Roy, Bob Villa, and Norm Abrams. Well, my dad watched those guys, and I had no choice. Now, I watch those shows and my wife looks at her phone.
That's a very optimistic assessment.
I got my thumb stuck in a band saw at school once. I freaked out so badly that I couldn't get my act together and push the huge red stop button right in front of me. The teacher had to come running and do that for me.
This was a few days after ripping my index finger apart on my other hand and getting it put back together at the ER. I was working at the school over the summer. Guess who had never set foot in the shop class before all this? Or after??
Hint: It was the same person that was put on book stamping duty for a while after those two episodes.

I'm trying to sell a house right now.
I need them to send me some confirmation paperwork tonight so I can forward it along to someone else before their midnight deadline.
I call them half an hour before they close, am told, "Yes we have accepted your stuff and we are emailing you the confirmation statement."
"...oh, it might not show up until tomorrow, we didn't actually start the process of emailing it to you until 6:30, don't know if we made the cutoff."

Holy crap! I'm looking into buying a few old Pokemon games for my DS and/or my 3DS and the old, used ones aren't any cheaper than the current ones. Doh.
Aye, I recognized the name and knew for sure who you meant when you mentioned the 18th century tool. I enjoyed his show like I enjoyed watching Bob Ross.Here's his PBS show:

I was really just making a sneaky FTFY joke.
I once helped my father re-surface our deck, which meant pulling all of the screws in the old wooden slats, replacing them with Trex slats, and screwing them back down (all with a power driver, so no issues there). I spent the entire day hunched over, semi-crouching, driving deck screws in and out, but we managed to get it done in one afternoon. The next three days my legs felt like I was walking waist-deep in a pool.I had to deliver the final bills for our last guests Saturday morning. Lots and lots of deep knee bends over multiple floors. My legs are paying for it now. Ow my poor thighs.
The hotel was independently owned, so the decision was local. No money for licenses, fees, etc. All of those expired as of midnight Saturday. The building itself is being sold to cover unpaid taxes. Which, it turns out, hadn't been paid in over a year by the time I got there. One story was a previous GM had embezzled the money that was supposed to pay it.
I'm not so sure I'm a "super smeller" by the textbook definition. But I have an amazing sense of smell. I can smell mold on bread before it's ever visible. By the time you *see* the mold, it's been in there creating mycelium for quite some time--and I can smell that sugar breakdown in the starch.
By the same token, I can smell lunchmeat rot long before my family can see or smell anything wrong with the food.
I regret telling them this, though, because it's led to a lifetime of "hey smell this and tell me if it's good"--and most often, this is my reaction
There's been this noxious but ephemeral smell in my garage for the last month or so. I thought maybe a mouse had died or something but everything's been clean. Well today I happened to look up after noticing the smell and it occurred to me that the rubber garage door seal is hollow... lo and behold, somehow a squirrel (I think, whatever was left wasn't in great shape) got in there and died.
Now, you might think this post belongs in the Minor Victory thread since I managed to isolate and clean the stink, but I somehow got dead rodent smell on my hands despite wearing gloves, so

Plenty of advice out there about how to get rid of the smell of decomp. Just be careful where you search.

Anything anti-bacterial helps. Have had success with white vinegar, too.

There's an anime that has that backstory. Trust me, it doesn't go well for... most of the world. Especially not Japan or the EU.

Not that I want to turn the whine thread into a political thread, but it's easy to be socially progressive when America covers most of your national defense budget.
I would agree with you, but America also covers most of our country's national defense budget, and I would hardly call us "progressive."

That's such a dense statement, I have a hard time thinking you are actually the person who made it, because I know you're not dense (occasional "doing the thing" related commentary notwithstanding).
Picking up someone else's bill saves them money. Picking up your own bill does not. Hence, they have money for more "progressive" social programs, we do not.
