That's at least better than his wife. She laughs and points.

Man, all the sinks I’ve seen over the years with vice grip knobs haha.

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

That is the longest sentence I've ever seen in my entire life.

[anothermadhatter@lemmy.world]

And if you need guards for your knobs, I designed some after bumping mine and turning on the gas more than once.

Or even simply moving it to the middle of the set of three for less distraction.

[chadmctruth@lemmy.world]

its obviously several sentences what are you illiterate and not that its any of your business but i have two REALLY cool helmets

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

Glad you are prepared!

See this thing --> .

This is how literate people delineate sentences.

I'm calling bullshit on your knowyourmeme photoshop, but it's funny to look at anyway.

Not to say this behavior is okay, but there are some companies that also just exploit the alternative to high heaven, like the post shows. You can pay $20 for a 12 cent replacement part, or order one and return it. Some people will pay for the part, but significantly less will when it costs and arm and a leg for something so cheap.

If people have little kids, or dogs that like to “counter surf,” guards are a pretty much a must (we just took the knobs completely off when our kids were little), acquaintances of ours lost their home to fire when the dog counter surfed and turned the gas stove on. I don’t remember what caught everything on fire that was on the stove, but they lost everything, and it killed the pets too.

My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don't need to keep using it on manual anymore.

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

Ah darn I've gone and overthought it. Please carry on.

The two types of players

[alligatorblizzard@sh.itjust.works]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but how do you use the stove?

[texas_hangover@sh.itjust.works]

Wes Watson over here.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Holy shit, talk about blast from the past...

[vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works]

Channel locks, adjustable wrench, or plyers are also acceptable. Plus then ya know damned well where they are.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

If they're trying to do it to you, and you are aware of it, that means they're getting away with it.

Just thought I would point that out in case it wasn't obvious to you already.

[geometrinen_gepardi@sopuli.xyz]

That's a humongous oven, must be a 10+ person household.

[canonical_warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

This is why I always buy cheap vice grips whenever I see them in a box of tools at an estate sale or something.

"Oops, I broke a handle on (thing)."

Clamps vice grips on the bit left over

"Fixed it."

Right now both of the seats in my truck just have a vice grips for the reclining lever.
