Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?14·7 months agoIt was precisely like a bad, dirty paper cut that stank of fish munge.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?56·7 months agoHaven’t seen it mentioned here, so a word to the wise: their beaks are somewhere sharp-edged, and if you were to grasp the beak and your hand were to slide lengthwise (towards or away from the tip), you could sustain a nasty cut.

Just let me out right here. I’ll walk.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?17·7 months agoMrs. Ersatz86, native Spanish speaker with (normally) great English skills, to our daughter and I:
Wait, you guys went to the pub without me?
Me: Well, you were at yoga.
Mrs. Ersatz86: Did you at least stop at the liquor store?
Me: Sure did!
Mrs. Ersatz86: Well where’s the booze? What am I, shoplifter?
Me: … blinks…
Me: do you mean “chopped liver”?
Pandemonium.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the worst / most unique names you've ever personally encountered?5·7 months agoHeh. I know a Misty Hyman, who achieved some notoriety as an athlete (swimmer).
It is difficult to say or even think of her name with a straight face.
Rechargeable is key here. Amazon has them for under $10. There’s no going back.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[Serious] What should every young person do?21·10 months agoLearn a paid skill you can do with your hands. Welding, painting, HVAC, long-line fishing, building PC’s, anything. Get proficient.
You may never use it again. Hopefully you develop a skill-set that pays you better/is less physically demanding/is sexier.
But you will never starve and may be able to feed your family even if your primary occupation falls out of favor.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your first principles (rules you've developed) in your life?101·10 months agoPeople either enhance or diminish your life. Very few are neutral.
Treat them accordingly.
Ersatz86@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's one thing you should never cheap out on?131·10 months agoIce cream.
Toilet paper.
Get the good stuff or don’t get it at all.

Listen to this guy/girl OP.
Your dentist will almost certainly recommend:
-Getting an electric toothbrush, READING THE INSTRUCTIONS, and using at least twice daily.
-Simultaneously, getting a water-pik or similar (they make travel ones too) and using it twice a day. (Tastier if you fill it with mouthwash).
Or shell out ~$10k or more (in the US) later for ignoring this advice, like I will in April, for gum restoration procedures.
Plus nobody will tell you you have eye-watering bad breath, but they will certainly hold it against you.

On the off chance that you have a drop ceiling or some other means of doing some light wiring, I recently installed these and the feature makes for a lovely ambience. https://a.co/d/cBrNSwU
If linky no worky, search Amico 6 Pack Black 4 Inch 5CCT LED Recessed Ceiling Light with Night Light
Bonus feature: it comes with The Big Lighttm too. Install is 3/10 for simplicity.
