Hot when light off is, to use the technical terminology, an "uh oh" situation.

Look, I'm no electricity scientist or whatever the fuck. I'm just a guy who doesn't want to die when he changes a light bulb, so I'm going to say that wiring the light fixture in front of the switch is fuckin' crazy.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
I won’t lie, the second time one popped his head out of the cab with a big round cracker in his mouth and another in his hand and it was adorable. The shredded trash everywhere on the ground less so. At least these ones aren’t super aggressive.
You could send food waste to a compost bin and they could raid that instead of the trashcan.
also we talked about this when I was helping you with the bike thing. The solution to them moving one brick should not have been to add a second brick!
I just found proof that there's a mouse inside the house. I thought I saw something flash out the corner of my eye a few days ago, but last night I actually heard and saw it under the sink. Cleared everything out, and yup, a lot of mouse droppings... but not an epic amount, so hopefully it's just one. I was up all night anyways, so I tried some homemade stuff like dangling a toilet roll over a bucket, and fashioning a similar trap out of a coke bottle. Damn thing took the bait leading up to everything, but not the actual trap itself. Well, Walmart is open now so off to buy some traps.
It also means a trip under the house to see where it might have gotten in. I had a quick spring cleaning look months ago, and the trailer home is up on massive blocks, with a black plastic barrier covering the entire bottom. I don't remember seeing much of anything or anywhere something might crawl in. But luckily - or unluckily - for me, it's raining, so said task will have to wait for tomorrow.

My wife overloads our dishwasher and nothing ever comes out clean. She'll put big bulky pots covering the bottom of it and that means nothing on top gets clean as a result. It's purely how she loads it.
I made her read the manual one time because it's not that hard to load a dishwasher. Ever since then the dishes come out just fine. I think she realized I wasn't just making up how to properly load it and the manual actually gives instructions on how to properly load your model.
You could see if your dishwasher has a manual that might have some suggestions on loading techniques, or try different detergents as evilmrhenry suggested.
It's usually a combination of this and because apartment dishwashers are fucking hot garbage that need food to be prerinsed before they can be cleaned.
Once you actually get one that costs more than $50, they work fairly well as long as you don't overload it or put dome like objects (cups, bowls, pots) on the bottom.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Oh my gawd. Those guys are adorable!
Also what the heck are you doing up?
I woke up at three for whatever reason and decided to do some laundry in the basement. And then the trash thudding started.
My dad always bungees anything that the racoons get into. For a while, the cat food can had three bungee cords, because one racoon could get two off, just not three. I have no idea. But yeah, bungees are generally the way the go. Racoons are smart.
Also how many bricks do you want to take off and then put back on each time you have to take out trash.
A successful, secure amount.

I have an intermittent leak somewhere that sometimes creates a puddle in my basement and it appears water is finding it's way behind the tub surround (which is just the plastic variety glued on to an old tile wall). Plumber couldn't find anything and his best suggestion was a complete remodel. Yeah no thanks, I don't have thousands of doubloons laying around.
Anyways, it's leaking somewhere that doesn't cause the pipes in the wall to be wet, which makes me think water must be dribbling out somewhere near the wall openings for the spout and faucet handles.
Any ideas? Am I going to have to rip this whole damn thing apart?

THAT’S RIGHT YOU ADORABLE RAT BASTARDS THERE’S BRICKS ON THE LID GET REKT

Lid shouldn't be able to open if it pushes a brick against the joist.
..might end up with a bin full of raccoon though

Plus this
Just gave me the first real chuckle I've had in over a week.

That wall just got a foot higher.

FINE! FOUR BRICKS, THEN!
Challenge accepted.
What if... Heavier bricks?

Then put a wall of bricks with nothing behind it, and hide the trashcan elsewhere.
This is evil and is considered to be a crime against humanity.
Not if they neighbors like raccoons.
Especially if they know there are sammies next door
This many.
Then they belong in the Hague.
