I get your point that it’s convenient to be able to blindly trust a slab, but in older houses you often have slabs that are too cracked, have settling underneath, or are otherwise unsure or suspect enough to blindly assume the “concrete wil

I’ve had more than my fair share of 120v shocks, but the worst shock(s), by far, happened when blowing cellulose insulation into my attic. The 75’ (100’?) hose was a little unwieldy and I wanted more control in filling areas near eaves (sma

Sorry I don’t check comments often — here’s my go to pens: - pocket pen: Kaweco brass sport <F>. It’s built like a tank, and develops a unique patina. - daily workhorse: Pilot VP <F>. Great solid pen. The retractable nib is so d

I’ve never visited the front page, but I’ve found a number of helpful folks on various construction trade or woodworking subs. I only have notifications enabled for /r/costco_alcohol quite useful to gauge the overall distribution

We’ll reach Idiocracy before the robots “have a plan”, and after that their plan will be to simply let the problem (us) take care of itself.

This. About a decade ago I switched to writing exclusively with fountain pens because of wrist and arm pain. I couldn’t get beyond maybe a paragraph until I’d be shaking out my hand from cramping. I tried different pens, grips, etc. but wou

Not to beat this horse, but I know the items I get from JetPens are not counterfeit. I’ve seen too many fountain pens reviews on Amazon where pens were counterfeit or gold nip was swapped with stainless. I usually buy from sellers such as

Yep. Some good sci-fi. Each one is a bit different, but terrific. Funny enough I was thinking earlier this week that I should re-read them since it’s been a number of years.

Yep, grew up in that area in a house w/ a heat pump. However it also had oil furnace (aka diesel) to supplement as it’d get down in the teens during coldest parts of winter. Also stacked, dried, carried in and burned a fair amount of f

No offense to your sister, but I really wish profits from REIT or folks with multiple rentals were taxed 90+%, or at least progressively increase rate with each additional rental beyond.

Mmm. Cicero’s is my favorite pizza spot atm. My kid recently started making pizzas w/ a cast iron skillet in oven at 550, not quite the crispy crust that Cicero’s has, but not entirely bad. Good to hear about your take on the Ooni—-I t

Sorry, yeah, we’re in agreement here, my comment was poorly worded — I meant the death rate and global economic damage would have been beyond catastrophic had it become more virulent as it became more transmissible. Yes, it was bad, really

I can’t tell if you’re serious or simply trolling here. The blunt instrument required to overthrow a government is not at all the same tool required to ensure public safety, not to mention the rooting out corruption. Radically different fun

The pattern of the 3 lines creating 7 pieces always reminded me of a poorly graffitied anarchy symbol. which, in its own fun way is ironic, as cutting pie that way is pure disorder and not forming the top vertex of the “A” along the circle
