Spaghetti aglio e olio. Sounds fancy yet it could not be simpler. Cook spaghetti or linguine or my favourite angel hair pasta. Meanwhile peel and slice garlic. Heat good quality EVOO in a pan and when the pasta is nearly ready toss in the garlic (I also like to add in sliced red chilli). Once garlic starts turning light golden toss in the pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and mix together. Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and some finely chopped parsley, oregano, marjoram or any green herb of choice for a little bit of colour (optional). Nice crusty garlic bread on the side and for a couple of bucks and 20 minutes of your time you’re sure to impress anyone.

What?! Why would you need to cut up fecal matter? Cut the shit man!

I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.

I believe that is the only place I learned about tourniquets in first aid cert. In that case you can use a shirt and a piece of stick. I’m doubtful of “hours without further damage” though. They definitely have their place but for understandable reasons they’re not recommended for regular first aid.

What’s a poop knife?

I can join your smaller niche of ex-boyfriends. In fact I already consider you my ex.

User name checks out.

But why? I can type on my phone.

A shoe horn is the ultimate in little things that make your everyday life heaps better.

There’s a great video about why it isn’t widespread in the US on YouTube by Technology Connections.

Last few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn’t taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.

Beer.

It is always the better option.

I thought that asbestos was outlawed. Though I do remember learning about its anti - fire uses in school. Yes, I am kinda old.

That is my train of thought too. I see an opportunity there, but I’m worried I’m kinda late to the game with dropshipping, but given the low start up cost I think it’s worth a try.

I do know a guy that sells high end motorbike gear (that he buys and stores in some limited capacity), but operates entirely online and makes a good living.

Ideally online. After working in and around customer service for a good part of 30 years I’m really not keen on dealing with people.

I thought about customer service consulancy/advisory/training, which I’m really good at, but it involves people…

I had a flotation center. Have you heard of sensory deprivation tanks? Obviously I won’t be doing anything highly technical, but most things are not rocket surgery and can be learned. I have an extensive background in customer service, management, hospitality, logistics. I’m really good at making small goods and baking. My issue is that I’m sick of customers.

Non-technical user here. Closed my business last year, currently between jobs. Any good business ideas that don’t cost much to start up?

Well, that’s fucked up.

Brake pads used to use asbestos.

Not one little bit. I used to be a big fan of reddit, spent 12 years there but as soon as Sync stopped working I deleted my account and never went back.
