Are You Shpongled?
Tales of The Inexpressible is also an absolute gem.

Reply to Best new headphone albums? by JediMaS10
Anything by Miles Davis, but particularly “A Tribute to Jack Johnson”
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - Flaming Lips
Savior Sorrow - Mushroomhead
Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus- Cloud Cult
Losing the Game - The Blend
The Score - The Fugees
The Mollusk - Ween
And holy shit, I cannot recommend Shpongle highly enough. That album was life changing.
Final edit: Plantasia deserves an honorable mention.

Reply to How to remove a GAS-MATE adapter? by rxpharmd
It looks like a compression fitting, without knowing anything about gasmate.
If it is a compression fitting, you’ll need something to disengage the collar that keeps compression. You could make a shim out of an aluminum food can, just ensure there’s no gas in the line while you’re working.

There are rollers that create a wood grain look, but they can be finicky to get looking nice.

Typically speaking, the glass sits just shy of flush inside the casing, to allow for expansion of the wood. The “formula” allows for measuring face to face inside the frame, and then compensating for any expansion.
The glass will be held in place with wood straps that run along both faces of the pane, and then putty or silicone.

But there ain’t no whales, so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tune!

It’s a good thing the whalers didn’t discover this first, or it would have a wildly different name.

Reply to comment by inclamateredditor in Focused ultrasound surgery: A sound you can’t hear but may one day change your life by PatatasFrittas
See, here, “brilliant” could mean a couple of things:
A. You legitimately think I am brilliant, or that my statement was brilliant.
B. You are using thinly veiled sarcasm.
C. You view personal attacks as brilliant.
Multiple sentiments, all in the same nine letters. Now, like this, some words can have multiple definitions. For example, if I use the word unnecessary, it could mean:
A. I feel as though your pedantry is unnecessary
B. I feel as though this conversation is unnecessary.
C. I feel as though your access to technology is unnecessary.
It’s really neither of these things. The definition I would like to convey is: Continuing to entertain such a mediocre attempt at being an unnecessary specimen on Reddit would be unnecessary.
That’s a lot, I know.
If you need any help slogging through such an immense concept, please do let someone know.
And honestly, if you take sound health advice from strangers on the internet as a personal attack, there could be a far many things to sort out within yourself before you start to worry about requisite vitamin d intake.
Or, maybe that’s the problem?
Again, I suggest you go outside tomorrow, it’s good for your physical and mental health.

Here you are, using the English language, and yet you still think this is a logical hill to die on.

No, surgery does not manufacture blood.
A finger poke will produce blood.
I know this is crazy, but sometimes words can mean two things.

Uhh…how the fuck has nobody mentioned Ed Wood’s Plan 9 from Outer Space??
It is, unquestionably, the worst movie ever made.
10/10 laugh factory, 10/10 dumpster fire.
Bella Lugosi as an extra terrestrial vampire. In a shot that inexplicably goes from night to day.

Reply to First time homeowner contemplating first repair (caulk), but overwhelmed with “twists”… by MindClimber
First step is cleaning the grout. It’s likely a lighter color than what you’re seeing, unless you purchased a brand new condo.
And then, follow the rest of the advice. I like to use a wet finger to smooth the caulk, spending money on a tool is unnecessary.
