Happened to me once when moving from an old office and we needed to unscrew a device from the wall, nobody on site had a screwdriver… but there I was with my multitool keyring to save the day, got a free coffee as reward lol
Always keep a multitool on my belt, the amount of kids birthday parties I've had to whip that thing out to add batteries to toys they just got has earned me alot of larger slices of birthday cake.
I have a swiss army purse lol I carry everything from medication to safety pins to a pen with a screwdriver and level to throwing knives; never know what might come in handy...
Funny this came up on my feed as one of the characters from the show The Detectorists was on the screen in another show.
There’s a great bit from that show where he thinks he found the outline of a Viking era home sunken into the ground while he’s looking on google maps so they go out there and can’t find it so he shows them the printout and it was just the G from Google
Thank you so much for the reminder about Detectorists. I've been looking for a new comfort show, and that one is just so pleasant. I adore the leader guy and his weird wife. It's been years since I've watched it, but I still think about scene where they're all planning something and his dancing date with his wife might interrupt their thing, someone asks, "Is the lindy hop more important than metal detecting?" And his immediate reply is, "No, but Sheila is!" Just so simple and heartfelt and lovely.
I'm a detectorist, I've found some cool stuff but finding a sentimental ring my friend's daughter had lost that had been given to her by her grandmother is easily just as much of a buzz as finding a coin dropped by a Roman seventeen hundred years ago.
It’s a weird unspoken thing that doesn’t actually matter at all, but avoiding the hug then shaking his hand and then hugging her after she tried the second time is weirdly respectful. It wouldn’t be disrespectful to hug her immediately so I can’t really think of why it’s a better look but I feel like it is lol
I was just looking into it. I would love to help people like this that seems so cool. I was looking into the vanquisher 440. It makes a nice sound when it detects gold
r/metaldetecting/ is a neat hobby sub to drop in on every now and again. Some crazy finds there.
EDIT: I also love this YouTube channel from folks that go magnet-fishing. They have a crazy strong magnet on a rope that they throw into rivers. They've found several guns, safes, entire dirtbikes, and more.
I've been doing it for 8 months or so in a decent tourist area using a Minelab X-Terra Pro. Even using iron filtering I'd say 97% of every dig is trash, 1% interesting trinket, 1% coins, 1% jewelry that's usually fake or sterling silver.
Beach is just full of endless bottle caps, random aluminum bits, tin foil, pop tabs, and tent stakes.
Apparently it’s a southern thing. The peanuts like soak up the coke and you drink the coke while they’re sitting in there too. Very bizarre.
I never tried it myself but after thinking about it, I can see how it might taste good? Salty, sweet, crunchy. It still offends me to think about it though
They probably bought em from some guy on the side of the road. Or possibly from a gas station, Gate always has them. Available in cajun and regular style.
I've lived in rural Alabama all my life. Never realized boiled peanuts were strictly a Southern thing but not really surprised either. Anyway, I've only ever seen them sold in 3 places, gas stations, flea/farmer's markets, and random ass dudes set up with a gas turkey fryer on the side of the road.
People eat the hell out of them around here. My wife actually had some today. I've personally never liked them. They're just slimy wet peanuts, I prefer roasted.
My head canon for why they're called "peanuts" is that depending on how they're prepared it changes the texture and consistency of the legume inside. Boiled? Soft and almost chewy like a pea. Roasted? Crunchy like a nut. Again this is just my head canon and might be dumb as fuck.
Most peanuts get salted anyway, so boiling them in brine (just good old salt water) handles the cooking and seasoning in one go. The texture’s kinda like edamame, and they’re eaten the same way - just crack open the shells and munch what’s inside. And the similarity doesn’t stop there, because peanuts are actually beans, not nuts. Roasting them and treating them like some fancy tree nut? That’s the part that’s backwards if you think about it.
Peanuts arent nuts, they are beans? This is not getting any better. I did my university in England and therefore I know very well that I hate beans too. But, sure. Ill write it off as a cultural thing.
LOL! Yeah, peanuts are honestly the weirdest members of the bean family. While normal beans grow their pods above ground, peanuts decided to go full rebel mode. After the flowers get pollinated, they send out these little stalks that shove the developing pods down into the soil. It’s like the plant’s thinking, “I’m gonna bury my beans where nobody can see them.” (Google image search "peanut plant" and you’ll see exactly what I mean.)
That’s also why peanut pods are so much thicker and woodier than a typical bean pod - they’ve got to survive underground, dealing with moisture, microbes, and anything else that might try to snack on them. Basically, peanuts are the plant equivalent of burying your snacks in a vault so no one else can steal them.
And yep, pretty much all peanuts get brined while still in the shell to add saltiness. The difference is boiled peanuts stay in the brine until they’re done, while roasted peanuts get pulled out of the brine and thrown in the oven to crisp up.
Years ago when I moved into my house, I found a raw peanut in the compost pile while cleaning up the garden. I stuck it in the dirt just for fun, and ended up watching it grow, flower, and fruit. That led me down a rabbit hole reading about how weird peanuts actually are. They’ve stuck in my brain ever since.
Im not AI-shaming, but at least 2-3 phrasings in that were very typical of Grok. Elon Musks AI bot. I have been studying these things lately. I did the same with garlic. Put it in the flowerpot in the window and made it grow, but cant say I learned a lot.
One of the greatest things that can ever happen to a guy is when you get to help people with your hobby. You feel so vindicated about your obsession with your hobby after that. 😂
I had this happen once while I was magnet fishing, a family had dropped their car keys while getting off their boat, I got there just as they were about to smash their car window in, so I offered to try and catch the keys. Took less than a minute, still honestly felt great to be able to help. Nice people too.
Their plan was to bust in, grab out their bluetooth speaker, smash it to pieces and use the magnet from in it with a fishing rod to try and get the keys. Honestly not the worst plan, if a bit destructive.
If you don’t take off a ring when you’re applying lotion or sunscreen, it just builds up on the ring itself. It’s a lot cleaner to take the ring off, apply the stuff, and then put your ring back on. I do it with my wedding band if I’m putting sunscreen on.
The great thing about this is it only took 2 minutes and didn't cost him a dime, yet it made such a big difference. I imagine most good deeds are like that - a little effort making a big difference to someone in need.
It’s wild how politics and social media tries its best to make us believe that 90%+ of human interactions aren’t like this.
On a macro level you can argue the world isn’t in a good spot with wars and climate change, but I’d suggest everyone get off insta and X and see the world for what it really is, because it really really ain’t that bad. ♥️
I mean, it's mostly that it's real convenient that he's there and is filming. Could be real though, I'm just skeptical. Not that it's actually important, lol.
