Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.

I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.

I didn't say where/how I store them.

[-] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

I usually dump them in the city pond and then filter it out when I need the diesel.

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 10 points 2 weeks ago

Smart! I store mine in paper cups next to the fireplace.

That's really dangerous unless you have a cat

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, maybe I did you wrong and you have a suitable storage space with containment basin just around the corner.

But, forgive me here, state of the shed/garage (?) you took the photo in didn't quite look to me as if this was very likely...

ACHKTUALLY

It's like watching a mild version of a wife beater telling her look at what you made me do.

Just say you made a shitty assumption without trying to justify.

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

You got me wrong, I am still beating OP.

Mainly because I still have the very strong suspicion that he is an actual wife beater here ("wife" being environment/society).

I just wanted to give him a decent way out to perhaps show us how this open-diesel-canister-balancing-on-a-wobbly-bucket-above-porous-ground-scenario just was a fluke and he usually handles the stuff responsibly.

As of now, OP hasn't taken this chance but only responded evasively.

Why not just go be a condescending jerk somewhere else? You're killing the vibe.

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Wow.

Seems like I wasn't that far of but really have touched a nerve here, I guess.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
