I love slinging due to how much power the impact carries, but it’s frustrating as I don’t seem to be able to hit shit with it. I’ve easily launched thousands of rocks with it and the best I can do is to get it to fly into the general direction of the target - usually. Hats off to the guy who invented it and then had the patience to practise for a decade to demonstrate that you actually can hit something with it if you just stick to it.

What I imagine it to be great for, even if you can’t hit shit with it, is medieval warfare when you’re being rushed by a bunch of people. If you have hundreds of infantry and everyone has a sling and like 3 projectiles, that’s quite the rock storm they’re able to inflict on the enemy before they cover the distance to turn it into a sword fight.

I keep trying to come up with a project that would justify renting one for a weekend. I just want to get to operate one.

Are you my house’s previous owner? When I had to take off the door hinges I needed to use a flathead bit, PH2 and PZ2 bit, Torx 25 bit, a 8mm socket and they even put one nail in there too.

Those products are inherently flawed as even if they worked, once the drain is already clogged it’s too late. Pouring it down the sink doesn’t do much. What ever little of it reaches the actual blockage has already been dilluted so much it’ll probably do nothing. Conversely, when it’s still draining a bit, the chemicals just flow down the drain instead of doing their job.

I have a corner in my kitchen that I can’t vacuum because a spider’s living there and has built a web. There’s even a pile of silverfish carcasses right there, so it’s not like he’s slacking on household upkeep either.

The material doesn’t really matter there - that’s what the waterproofing membrane is for. My bathroom has a plywood subfloor with a 5 cm concrete slab cast on top, floor heating cables embedded inside it. Then there’s a waterproofing membrane painted over that, followed by the tiles. There’s even this rubber “funnel” over the floor drain that’s fully embedded in the waterproofing layer, making it virtually impossible for water to go anywhere but down the drain.

Why shower tray instead of floor drain?
