I have to concentrate when listening to an audiobook so that I don't wander too far off the story.
I quite often listen while cleaning or gardening - both are things I can do without thinking. If I try to listen while doing more difficult (thinking) tasks like cooking or driving, I have a harder time keeping track of the stories.
That all said, I listen to almost exclusively fantasy books where small remarks can fill in holes or names can be confusing, so concentrating is important.

Reply to Can I drill a hole in this door, and are there open/closable hole caps I can add to both sides? by rolliejoe
There are so many better places to put a hole for access to something like this - do you have a layout or photo's of where you want the equipment to be?
It's easier to repair a hole in brick or stucco than in a door.

Reply to comment by NightLexic in Domino’s Pizza will soon have 800 electric vehicles for delivery drivers by redingerforcongress
Hahahahaha... OK.
My husband worked for them delivering pizzas in 1998 - no dominoes cars anywhere to be seen. One of the plazas I do work for as a maintenance company has a Dominoes - all the delivery drivers are driving personal cars - we talked about it because of their parking situation.....
Maybe in some big city in the USA they have cars, but here, in Ontario Canada (there are 13 Dominoes stores within the city limits) - I've never seen a Dominoes branded car - ever.

Reply to How to shuck corn without leaving silk by Billybluejeans
I take the 2 sides and pull - shucked - then I rinse it under cool water while running the palm of my hand against it - silk gone - total work time; 20 seconds for perfectly shucked corn - sheesh people.

Reply to comment by loganab13 in Ok to run dryer pipe through 2x6 studs? by the_other_sam
I have 3 loadbearing (2x6) walls in my basement - one of which is against the foundation and holds half of my house up, while the foundation supports a cantilevered beam for a bump out.
Every single other wall in my entire house (except these load bearing walls in the basement) are 2x4's.
I'm just saying that most of the time, when you come across a 2x6 wall - it's load bearing. Since OP can't tell either way, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I wonder if there is a disconnect because I automatically assumed that the OP's laundry room was in a basement which would include a foundation.
I'm in Canada - everyone has basements here.

Sometimes, but really not often. It will likely depend on the age of the house.
In modern home construction when they need extra room they just move the 2x4's out from the foundation a bit or box out the entire utility run in a utility chase.

6" studs pretty much guarantees it's load bearing....

Reply to LPT: How to get grease spots out of pants by ChickenCheeks7
I use dish soap - usually Dawn - to remove grease, oils, makeup or anything made from grease or oils from my clothing.
In your case I would use a little on the actual spot, let it soak in, then just toss it in the wash with the rest of the load.
