This year I am not having much luck with drains. After the #Crapturday in the office, a kitchen drain got clogged. I decided to rush to the rescue with my drain snake. I dismantled and cleaned all the local pipes, then inserted the five-meter snake and, after some persistence, managed to get through. In other words, I was quite satisfied.
After putting everything back together, I realized I had actually solved nothing. So I armed myself with two bottles of liquid drain cleaner and poured them down the drain. Then I prepared a small pot of boiling water to pour in afterward. As soon as I poured it, it started gurgling (as expected) and going down.
Just as I was about to celebrate victory, some sort of explosion happened, spraying all the drain cleaner back at me. Needless to say, since I had not expected anything like that (and it was an unplanned operation), I was wearing a pair of trousers and a shirt I care about.
The result: trousers and shirt permanently stained with drain cleaner, and the drain even more clogged than before.
Now both the shirt and the trousers are in the washing machine with dye. They will become blue 🙂

@stefano Ouch, looks like this year wants to tell you something about a certain type of „hardware projects“. 😆😱
I do hope you didn’t get drain cleaner in your face or on your skin. That stuff is nasty. -

@stefano I’m so sorry Stefano, ouf 😭😭😭
Maybe Vinted is your best friend in this scenario? I often buy extra pairs of beloved clothes / shoes there (once they are worn out and if they’re out of stock in shops).
You could even take a picture of your clothes (once they’re dry obviously) and do a visual search on Vinted

@_elena that’s a good idea! I’m currently waiting to see how they will come out from the washing machine, with the colour applied. I saved a lot of clothes, during my university years 😄

You may not believe that one or more of the land masses on this list is a continent. That's OK. There are multiple continent systems and you and I have different ones. The world is complex and minds are diverse. That's good, not bad.

@evan Sadly, none...

This is not an exhaustive list of continents. Please choose responses out of the continents listed.
I am aware of other continents and I omitted them on purpose.
If you know of other continents, please feel free to reply to the poll with the names of those continents if it will make you feel good.

Hey, everyone. Thanks for replying. My answer is Yes. I celebrate Pi Day on 3.14 and Better Pi Day on 22/7. I like celebrating things and I try to find as many special days during the year as possible because it's fun and makes the passage of time more bearable.
I understand that being a curmudgeon about celebrations is fun too, though. I hope everyone who isn't celebrating Pi Day got a chance to enjoy that part.
