Again, one of those things I should've bought 15 years ago. I just didn't know these even exist. This is the second most exited I've even been about a bucket only narrowly topped by the time I found two for free.

Life hack I figured out, impromptu bucket, for oil changes and draining fluids. Get a cardboard box that fits and line it with a garbage bag. Drain oil into bag. Tie up up bag and put box and bag into another bag for transport. Or you can cut the corner of full bag to drain into a jug with out making a mess or funnels. Hell got no funnel? Pour the clean oil into a clean bag and cut the corner of and fill engine.

All buckets are bags with structure.

Well, I'm a mereological nihilist so it doesn't actually even matter.

Quite dull. Well done.

Years ago I got a collapsing portable dog water bowl for when we went out on walks. It's not exactly practical to carry a normal bowl or let them drink from our bottles.
Anyway it took me about a year of fumbling about with bottles and little containers before I realised I could just use the dog bowl. DOH. (I bought them a new one after I used theirs)

The bag is neat and everything but let's talk about Knipex

That's a topic I have plenty to say about.

If it needs to collapse to get into the space, how do you get it out once it is full of water?

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 4 points 44 minutes ago

Usually it won't fill up, it just there to catch whatever is in the pipes. Even if it spills some at least you contained whatever was got in the bucket. It is also possible to retighten whatever fitting was draining, empty the bucket and put it back to drain again.

Seems more exciting than a free ordinary bucket. Unless maybe you're a walrus?

I’ve used these when we’re were in Scouts canoeing in Minnesota to collect our water from the middle of the lakes.. but I’ve never thought about using one like this.. I feel silly and now I’m excited about a bucket too.

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.
