expert opinion

this is the thread I will turn to when an 1p3 expert opinion is needed.

what is that pokie thing in my shirt, and sometimes a sock, that isn't there, yet keeps poking me?

how do i remove it?

The tag?

seriously, no one has ever experienced this?

it happens to me like, bi-mothly.

it happens to me a lot. an itchy thing you can't find that you think is the plastic tag holder thing but is just some invisible ???

also sometimes find pieces of organic material in socks or shoes, most annoying

i do not know how to remove the invisible itchy thing though :(

can i have invite to secret 1p3 expert answers?

you know that jhon huston film where brad dourif plays a priest? and he puts rocks in his shoes to chastize himself for his sins?

that is exactly how you should think of this

What is that knocking sound in my engine?

Like, literally, what is knocking against what?

There's a snake in your AC unit. ;)

80-year-old goat breeder Noel Padgham took her car into the shop after living for a week with a noise she described as "clunketer, clunketer, clunketer."

And why shouldn't I run my microwave when it's empty?

Not that I would want to, but what's the harm?

pappa, turn everything inside out clothes-wise and just cut everything out of everything until the interior is smooth

the microwave begins to attack itself when ther eis nothing else to attack

Friend of mine works in a kitchen and they had some moron running the empty microwave as a timer until the glass platter exploded and they fired him.

The reason is that the microwaves are reflected back up into the magnetron (the bit that generates the microwaves), which overheats and burns out.

I knew 1p3 had the experts!

Why should I not crack my knuckles?

they will eventually hurt all the time; no one knows the reason for this

:-(

Buddy of mine shot some framing nails into his hand and had to have some surgeries and PT and he says the doctors told him cracking your knuckles doesn't hurt you. It's just moving fluid around. If they eventually hurt it's because you're old and have arthritis.

strangely, only the joints i crack have developed arthritis!!! i am 28

i blame rock'n'roll.

Someone I used to work with did this all the time. He was also a DJ. Maybe by now (nearly a decade later) he has arthritis and won't be able to, er, spin those wheels of steel. Sorry, I just had a "cool" failure there. But you all know what I mean.

How come when I go low-carb/moderate fat for say, three weeks, I lose weight rapidly (roughly 8lbs), but when I say fuck it and get all carby/fatty for 6 months, I don't gain weight nearly as rapidly (gain maybe 4 lbs)?

I mean, I do understand the glucose/adipose cycle, and understand the need to use all my glucose & glycogen before it converts to adipose, but in the end, the math just doesn't seem to work out.

It's this type stuff that makes the "metabolic rate" such a complete mystery.

(although I always thought this was one of the better webpages to make it simple:

there's still some missing links to the equation)

non-dishwashers users: how do you clean between the tines of your forks?

hot water and one of those scratchy plastic sponges (DOBY)

now if it's like really really bad you can kind of get at it with a knife

uh, Brillo?

if something is sticky in there i just soak it in really hot water for a bit and then go back to scrubbing. other than that, i don't. hope this helps.

leave it in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then rinse. or, depending on the size of your sink, move the fork quickly through the water, from side to side. this also works for sieves and beaters.

(nb i wash dishes for a living so this ^^^ was not just an expert opinion but professional advice.)

i actually didn't know weren't supposed to run an empty microwave, but then the thought of doing so has never occurred to me either.

depending on the size of your sink, move the fork quickly through the water

wait, how does this depend on the size of your sink

are there sinks actually too small to move a fork in

try putting the fork in the microwave if your sink is too small

if your sink is too small to waggle a fork in, how about getting a new sink

who's been washing dishes in a pie tin

"it's a rinser."

"get rid of it."

i should add, that despite the sinking of this thread, i was asking, i guess, IF you worry about every fork you own and wash...how much time do you devote to cleaning between the tines.

i just soak silverware from the moment i fill the dishpan (pie pan, whatever), and after about 1/3 of total time, just, you know, wash the silverware.

but I got to thinking this may not be the cleanest for forks.

the word "forks" on ilx has some other connotation, doesn't it?

Yes, it denotes sometime 1P3 poster "forksclovetofu."

i should note I actually know forks irl

There is also a famous 1p3 meme that goes like this: "love off forks." The origin of this phrase is in the early-nu-1p3 period, before Esteban/Pato had become a mod in his own right. He had beef with Forksclove, and wrote "fuck off, forks" many times. Ken C and I changed all of them to "love off forks," and hilarity ensued.

classic

i never seem to have a problem with gunk between the tines and i don't even soak stuff usually. hot water + scouring pad + soap. i AM an expert, too. wondering if this problem is all in yr head.

as is engine knocking. i have no car.

Oh, PAPPA

i don't have a car either :((((((

Ken C and I changed all of them to "love off forks,"

!! i didn't know how that came about

yeah, it used to be a total "cute regime" around here

we also changed a bunch of his posts to be about Kao Anis

My wife showed me Christmas Cadbury creme-filled eggs "ornaments" the other night. The War on Easter has finally begun.

should i have gotten a job at cadbury, and we have a meeting to discuss "plans for the future", i will at best, sit silently, and at worst, speak up when xmas ornaments are brought to the table to say this sounds like a terrible idea.

this is my problem in life as it always results in "mr. wheelie, please take everything from your desk and follow me."

As an interjection, a short, clipped "dude!" might be used to convey annoyance with someone, while a long, drawn-out "duuuude" conveys amazement.

didn't read thread, but may be an ingrown hair

^^^^^^^^^

dude may be an ingrown hair

duuuude

Did you know re engine knocking, that this was originally cured by the invention of lead in petrol.

They knew tetraethyl lead was bad right from the start but fuck that, it made cars run better.

The same guy also invented CFCs. True story.

I think he died by being run over by a horse and carriage in the road anyway.

pappawheelie- perhaps a hair has threaded itself through the material and is now being pulled. it is a known issue.

i need an expert opinion why my refrigerator is so loud it keeps me awake like a helicopter hovering over my house? help???????????

http://www.ecto-web.org/%7Espookcentral/gb1_screencap13.jpg

interesting...........

Why was there an ACTUAL HELICOPTER hovering over my house for like half an hour this morning??? Maybe I should check the news....

Is it possible that you are a coked out soon to be mob informant?

It seems unlikely. No one pounced on me when I left the house, and I'm here at my boring office job, per the usual.

make sure you tell your brother to stir the sauce so it doesn't stick

all day long the poor guy's been watching helicopters and tomato sauce
