I had a pen go in the dryer with some nice shirts one time. I was asking some co-workers what I could do to get the ink out of the shirts. One guy says, "you're fucked, Mikey." Truer words were never spoken
For those who are curious, do nothing more and take them to a Dry Cleaners, most ink can be gotten out. Gel ink, Permanent Ink and marker are usually a no-go. You are looking at about 50/50 but for $5 its worth the try.
Hairspray was an amazing ink remover when I was young. No idea if there've been formula changes since then to change it, but ... it would get out permanent marker stains back then.
Good luck finding a dry cleaner, Highlander. Per WSJ, many have gone out of business because people are working from home and not wearing business clothes anymore.
Magson, when I was young, the propellant in hair spray was usually freon or a similar flourochlorocarbon compound, and that was quite a good cleaning solvent. Electronic techs used spray cans of freon to clean solder residues after hand-soldering, and factories cleaned circuit boards in conveyors that dipped into wash tubs of freon. I think dry cleaners used similar solvents.
But all that was banned in the late 1980's because these compounds break down ozone high in the atmosphere. The replacements are less effective and more dangerous (flammable and/or poisonous).
One EV, the rest are ICE cars that made the mistake of parking to close. I wonder what it costs to insure EV's especially as the companies begin to realize what kind of losses they are indemnifying. Such as the entire building when an EV cooks off in the parking area under the building.
#7 I don't think any of them are EV. One on the right is a Hummer, one in the middle is a JK Jeep, and the one on the left appears to be a Grand Cherokee... maybe. Regardless they are all lifted slightly not indicative of EV's.
With that said EV's suck and do cause spectacular fires.
I've heard of a police department that lost several vehicles when an EV ignited itself and set fire to the rest of them. This picture wasn't that, it was more than 3.
John, it would be nice if the insurance companies would put an end to the EV madness before we all have EV's and insufficient power to recharge them. But I don't think it will happen because insurance companies are heavily regulated and no doubt most of the regulatory boards have caught the madness.
#5 send that photo to the manufacturer and get a coupon for a new box of ice cream bars. #6 Somehow, I don't think that truck was supposed to be driving out on the dock like that. Still can't help but that about how I'd go about getting it back out.
#5: The ice cream is dipped in the chocolate to coat it. The box of ice cream bars then got warm enough to melt the ice cream, but not the chocolate.
#6: Was the truck over the weight limit, or was there just a bad plank? It's always an issue with wood construction, the wood isn't consistent even when new, then deteriorates at different rates. Either way, unload the truck, and then you should be able to jack it up and slip new planks under the wheels. (I think trying to jack it fully loaded might break more planks.) Or perhaps there are cranes on the dock or the ships that can pick up the truck.
#1 We have rimrocks similar to that here. When I was a kid no one built houses up close to the rims. Now it's common to see houses built with giant boulders in their front or back yards. Every few years there's a rock fall and some house gets damaged. Somehow it is now the city's fault that they have a house in a debris field. No one seems able to look at a 400 foot wall of rock and figure out that the boulders below the rims didn't just grow there.
#7 Long walk home.....
ReplyDelete#10 You aught to see the clothes....
ReplyDeleteToss them back in with a bunch of different colored pens, sell them to the aging hippies as tie-dyed!

ReplyDeleteFire, that's what gets the ink out. It's the only thing that works.

DeleteI heard lemon juice directly on the ink stains.
DeleteHair spray also work, but usually once a stain has gone through the dryer, it is set and almost impossible to get out.

#2 Who has a square butt? Hate the design of that toilet.
ReplyDelete#7 I'm guessing those are EV's that have the optional (no, mandatory) CATCH ON FIRE feature.

ReplyDeleteYep. Good idea on those electric cars. Kind of like that twat up in Ontario that blew up a block while drunk driving.
ReplyDeleteLittle advice,
ReplyDeleteGumout carb cleaner removes gun from inside dryer.
Watch out for the fumes!
I have firearms within a couple steps reach all over the house, but who keeps a gun in the dryer and how do you know this?
Deletefairplayjeepguy
Had both a pen in the dryer and a big bottle of detergent spill on the laundry room floor. Neither was much fun.
ReplyDeleteStupid should hurt. I applaud your honesty, though marked down for anonymously, but hasn't it occurred to you to check the pockets before laundering?

I've never seen a square toilet seat. WTF.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them in Germany. Not real common at the time, but I have seen them.

#1, "Like a rock!" (sorry)
ReplyDelete- WDS
#1...didn't Chevy have the commercial "Like a Rock"?
ReplyDelete#1 Could'a been worse, might have hit the house or now if the owner had been in the bed of the truck, that would have sucked.

ReplyDelete#1 - A Ram could have handled that!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, I hate all things Chrysler...
#2 could have been so much worse, toilet design notwithstanding.
