[00:34:41] SpaceCadety Yeah, at that point you call a professional, and things get expensive.

[13:35:59] Dadrobit Ran out of noodles, need to get more
[13:36:47] Dadrobit Found some A-SHA noodles at the discount store a while back that are a collab with Hello Kitty. Got em ironically. Unironically they are fantastic!
[13:37:28] Dadrobit Was like $2 for a 6 pack. Way the heck more expensive if I want to get them online
[14:23:09] Storebrand A heavy-duty hand truck makes wrangling awkward, heavy things much easier.
[14:29:09] ThingsAreMoving I have a couple websites which sell near expiration date products for huge discounts. Instant noodles are still good after a loooong time.
[14:29:39] ThingsAreMoving Basically as long as the oil doesn't go rancid they're good for consumption
[14:48:34] AbstractIndigo Yeah there's a lot of stuff where as long as you keep it away from heat / air / water it basically never expires

[15:59:47] Twokinds :ctwokinds-flosplat:
[16:05:24] Thepizzatree -.-
[16:09:15] KeefMcDerpface :ptv-excited: oh my gawd so cute
[16:10:48] ThingsAreMoving :ctwokinds-natsducky: Tom, Pizza, Keef. How did your DIY quest go, Tom? Did ya show that toilet who's boss
[16:12:07] KeefMcDerpface Slayed the toilet monster? XD
[16:24:39] AbstractIndigo :ctwokinds-flosquint:
[16:26:37] AbstractIndigo I've actually got a sketch idea waiting about a plumbing disaster but I'm kind of worried it will send Tom into flashbacks now
[16:28:00] Twokinds Finally got the old toilet taken off. It was held down by the world's strongest and most stuck bolts ever.
[16:29:01] AbstractIndigo Okay I'm definitely worried about those flashbacks and thousand yard stares now
[16:29:21] KeefMcDerpface rust/corrosion?
[16:31:14] KeefMcDerpface The ones on our toilet are not in a healthy state despite the toilet being 'new'.
[16:32:11] Twokinds The old one is from the 60's. It was frozen solid with mineral deposits.
[16:32:20] KeefMcDerpface yeah....
[16:32:30] AbstractIndigo Plumbing or archaeology?
[16:33:49] Twokinds I eventually had to just cut the bolt with a hacksaw.
[16:33:58] ThingsAreMoving Did you use an extra long ratchet, coca cola or some other chemical stuff to dissolve the stuff and penetrate the rust or went for the blowtorch
[16:34:07] ThingsAreMoving Ah, that works too, lol
[16:34:10] Twokinds Felt like a caveman just wailing on it, but it did the job.
[16:34:41] KeefMcDerpface Wasn't gonna reuse them anyways. :ptv-snicker:
[16:34:50] Twokinds Certainly not
[16:35:19] KeefMcDerpface The joins of dealing with rust/corrosion.
[16:35:22] KeefMcDerpface *joys
[16:37:01] AbstractIndigo I had a nut seize up on my boiler a few years ago from corrosion, I was terrified that it was going to break. But I needed to turn it to put more water in.
[16:37:30] AbstractIndigo I'd say with your luck Tom you need an angle grinder!
[16:39:31] KeefMcDerpface Oh we had to deal with a seized up water hose last week. Trying to unscrew an old worn out, leaky hose.
[16:39:56] KeefMcDerpface took two days
[16:40:35] ThingsAreMoving 50/50 mix of acetone and transmission fluid is great for getting rusty fixings unstuck.
[16:40:56] ThingsAreMoving Rubber hoses not so much I imagine, might dissolve them depending on what they're made of
[16:41:29] KeefMcDerpface The hose is rubber yes, but the fittings are metal.
[16:52:12] Dadrobit I have returned from American Discount. Mission Accomplished, noodles aquired. Along with a cart of other stuffs.
[16:52:45] KeefMcDerpface \o/
[16:52:46] Dadrobit Even got $5 off on the little spinny game at the end of checkout
[16:53:01] Dadrobit Big money no whammys for sure
[16:53:05] AbstractIndigo Is it worth asking which century the noodles were from?
[16:54:51] Dadrobit Had to go check lol. November 2025.
[16:54:54] ThingsAreMoving Embrace the student life with all the noods
[16:55:12] ThingsAreMoving are they just one flavour or varied
[16:55:46] Dadrobit The Hello Kitty ones are all the same flavor. Then I saw they had some Hot Ones collab so I picked up a box of them as well.
[16:56:52] Dadrobit Ended up with a overfull cart of stuff by the end. $131. Makes me kick myself for not shopping there more.
[16:57:32] Dadrobit Also, grats on the plumbing progress, Tom!
[16:57:50] ThingsAreMoving Never too late to start optimizing your groceries
[16:58:53] Dadrobit For real, made a steak dinner for the folks a month or two ago. Just regular ingredients and filets with some asparagus and potatoes. Was like $85 from Walmart.
[16:59:16] AbstractIndigo That's crazy
[16:59:35] Dadrobit Groceries be expensive yo
[16:59:43] AbstractIndigo Everything's expensive!
[17:01:52] Dadrobit It's getting proper bad. Usually I'll stop in to see what weird/esoteric stuff pops up at the discount store every once in a blue moon and there'll be like 3-4 other people. Today it was nearly packed. Folks are feeling it
[17:03:25] AbstractIndigo The thing that made me realise was last year seeing the price of yogurt or something. And it was basically double what it was a few years prior.
[17:03:50] ThingsAreMoving One of my coworkers surprised me at some point, he straight up called a local farmer and bought half a cow. He'll just have to pick it from the slaughterhouse and take apart himself, but all in all it ended up costing him like 1/8 of market price
[17:03:51] AbstractIndigo Over here everything has security tags on now
[17:04:22] ThingsAreMoving He does benefit from having a house with a garage and two box freezers though
[17:06:04] Dadrobit Deep freezers are the bomb. Had one growing up
[17:07:27] KeefMcDerpface yeah they're great
[17:12:14] Dadrobit The day Tina's Burritos breaks .99c. That is the day we have officially fallen.
[17:15:27] Dadrobit I remember when they were 15 cents, up to 50 now.
[17:59:08] R66Art Tom, are you a Resident Evil fan?
[18:19:44] Twokinds I haven't played any Resident Evil games.
[18:20:38] Dadrobit I only ever played the demo that came on a PS1 demo disc and like once at a friends house as a kid.
[18:23:22] R66Art Ooh ok!
[20:29:45] Twokinds It's done! Finally
[20:32:13] Ordithus :ctwokinds-florabongointense:
[20:32:52] Twokinds Boy that was a hassle and a half
[20:40:13] Ordithus well accomplished
[20:52:18] Dadrobit Nice
[23:06:07] ThingsAreMoving :cthingsaremoving-NatLoading_x: May it serve you well for another 80 years
[23:16:30] Twokinds Yeah! I'll leave a note to myself to replace it in 2106
[23:17:29] Tundrooo who was it that said "how hard could it be?"
