That last one, saving rainwater, illegal in a lot of States and provinces in Canada, FYI.

Yup! Stupid fucking government, governing fucking rainwater....
idontevenknowmyname
I always thought rainwater laws had to do with your municipalities. Especially provinces in Canada...?
driveslikejamesmay
I'm guessing those are laws in arid states, to allow water to return to the watershed? There's no such law against rain barrels in Ohio.
Phycohb
Tends to be states that are near headwaters , bigger impact on stream flow
1134206
In some states it's because people were drinking roof runoff which can be dangerous to consume because of chemicals - or so I'm told.
driveslikejamesmay
Any untreated water can be dangerous to drink, but we just use our rain barrel to water the garden which I think is what most people do.
sanguinecupcake
I just looked it up and in Oregon it's legal if you collect it off a roof, parking lot or shed, but not a watershed.

You're not supposed to store potatoes and onions together because the gasses that escape from one cause the other to rot. :(

Do you mean a clove or a head? A clove is a single piece. A head of garlic has 10-15 cloves on it.

Careful on the last one. Check the water laws in your area before you start collecting the rain that fall on your own roof. (Seriously.)
doughnutty
...and water pressure would be just terrible.
AestusVeritas
TheNextBestUsermame is right. Water usage rights are a state law issue. Depending on whether your state is riparian or prior use and (1/2)
AestusVeritas
What doctrine your state applies (I.e.) natural flow or reasonable use, rainwater use can be limited to non-diversion.

im really just thinking >how are you surposed to build pressure, to make the water come out of the hose at a fast enough rate<
TheNextBestUsername
Pumps? Buckets? Drip tubes? I'm not this green; I have no idea how it works.
DustyBozangas
The fuller the barrel is, and the higher the barrel is in relation to the spray nozzle, the higher the pressure.

Well ye, but if your gonna have a normal working hose, you are gonna need something like 3,5 bars of pressure.

This comment is kind of wrong. Mosquito larvae really cannot thrive in water containers with vertical walls, especially water +2' deep.

Diverting rainwater, even to a small barrel like that for personal use, is illegal in some places.

LMAO, so now "people" can own the rain water too?

Within a watershed. Some lawmakers consider rain to become property of the city once it hits the ground.

Also, I'm not sure that there would be enough water pressure to push water out of the hose the way the pic shows. Anyone agree with me?

The gravity method actually works but it's only really useful when the bucket is full. You'd also want a pump.

Water wouldn't even come out of the hose. You'd need a flood pump or a water-butt pump. (Mobile detailer using filtered rain water)

It seems to work pretty well in my yard without a pump.

You must have more gravity in your part of the world.

Maintenance of the underlying water table.

Zombieshark
But in this case, that water is still going to the water table. I can see how it would make sense if the water was being diverted elsewhere.
ImASharkImAShark
not necessarily. If watering plants, the water gets into the soil, goes into the roots, and gets transpired out the leaves into the atmo.

Onions shouldn't be kept in the fridge if you want them to maintain their quality.

Or you can chew gum, or burn a candle, or rinse them under water as you cut.

I'm insanely sensitive to onions, but when cutting them, if I don't need the whole thing, I avoid the core and it seems to help.
PurpleTheKidd
I've found that breathing through your mouth while cutting them helps a lot, too.
Kaislikethewind
That's the chewing on gum part, that makes you breathe through your mouth.
Kaislikethewind
I heard someone at a culinary school once say to freeze onions before using and they won't make you cry.

They will, but it's because the knife will slip and your frozen fingers will bleed. Once you regain feeling, you'll cry from pain.

UsedVacuumCleanerSalesman
Not to mention that it's stupid. Why would you want your precision tools exposed to the open air and the possibility of being dropped?
acertainjenesaisquoi
In kitchens it means that they're out the way but still within arms reach. You need all the space you can get most nights.
isthisthereallifeorjustafantasea
Those are useful for all kinds of tools. Sockets, screwdrivers, driver bits, etc. They've been around for a long time.

It's out of the way and gives you a bit more room to work with in a kitchen. Also, if you don't dick around it won't get dropped.
acertainjenesaisquoi
Also it's a kitchen knife, they going to be exposed to the kitchen air wherever you store them...
UsedVacuumCleanerSalesman
I'm referring more to the drill bits and driver tips shown in the picture. You want to keep them oiled in a case to prevent corrosion.
