    Fun fact, while WD-40 can act as a solvent, but its original purpose is to repel water “water displacement” and the 40th attempt in their formulation efforts. It just so happens to be otherwise useful, but it is NOT a lubricant.

        For maybe an hour of use at most. It’s not good at being a lubricant at all. Which is why you use oil or grease.

          Well I can tell you that the door hinges that made a squeaking noise do not anymore for several months now after using wd40 on them.

            Another nerd - it’s because the solvent in WD-40 cleared out the dirt that was causing the squeak. But you should hit the hinges with some lubricant if you’d like a longer-lasting squeak-free house.

              This nerd is right, and ive worked as a handyman for too long before i knew this and didnt have to go back to some people for squeaking doors because i started doing wd40 first and then lube it with grease.

        A bit, but not a good one which can damage stuff in some cases. Better to use the right product at the right time.

    WD-40 is not a lubricant. It’s a water displacement. That’s literally what the WD stands for

      Also displaces water. Still a lubricant though.

          It does have lubricating properties as it leaves an oily film. But, that film is thin and temporary which is why you shouldn’t use wd-40 as a lubricant.

            You can very well use it as a lubricant but only in situations where lubrication is required temporarily :)

          WD-40 Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything.

    Why is American butter in a stick rather than a block?

    I understand the mass differential is ¼ lb vs ¼ kg, but why the shape?

      I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on why, but…

      One box of butter from the store usually has four of these sticks in it, each wrapped in a paper sleeve. That paper is printed with eight markings at tablespoon increments. One stick is therefore half a cup of butter. So you can easily roughly measure the butter to match common recipe requirements.

        So more patch work among patchwork. I mean, my block of butter is in a wrapper with markers on it for every 100g of butter. Also makes estimations for recipes easier, except its in metric

          Yeah, well, I won’t make excuses for our refusal to use a sensible and consistent measurement system. Just saying that’s how it is.

      pepper spray generally comes in small, slim bottles - in this they are referring to the spray can as the “stick”
