In my experience, "balloon framing" meant that a two story house was framed with two story studs. That is, 14-16 foot studs, sometimes sistered if the local wood wasn't long enough.

As an American who deals in no VAT ever, is something like a 20% vat (10 on 50) normal?

I have also had your experience, but my resolution was just to swap cars for a day every couple weeks. The threshold on her car was higher though, I believe 29 (same ~35-36 normal range), so if they dropped she'd at least be alerted so

It would be great if these things were faster - in fact, we cared so much to make it so that it's included as part of our 6th amendment. In practice, it's almost exclusively not the case, even if higher profile cases. Two bits of

For something like low tire pressure, won't a monthly report be too late?

This really hurt me last year, when I migrated away. I didn't realize at the time how much didn't come with, so I've been playing the reset / recovery game since.

Fwiw, having flown Delta within the last week for the first time in half a dozen years, via Expedia, I found out accidentally / after the fact that you no longer get "one free bag" if you are in their Delta Basic offering, wh

A couple of thoughts - The Delta Amex appears to have an annual fee of $550. Not sure what the cost over the various nickels and dimes are, but for most of us who don't fly often, I suspect they're cheaper. Frequently flyers like

If I read it right, it described there being a "code review team." Whether they're responsible for reviewing all code, or just for coming up with these sorts of practices was not clear. ETA: with that said, the "reviewer

Which seems easy to confuse. If you don't have good game sense, you'll get into situations where you feel like you need twitch sense, so you'll want to think that's your failing.

For what it's worth, I actually found PUBG fairly enjoyable, given I only played two games. The first I dropped with a group who seemed to know what they were doing, but I spent about half the game in the menus trying to figure out som

In my experience, beyond just performing better, you'll tend to feel better. Soloing forever is not very enjoyable in team games, in my opinion.

I would say any decline I've noticed is due to "training time," yeah. I will sometimes go a few months without playing... jumping back in will take me a few rounds to get back to "good," and I feel a similar slope

Is this intended for people new to FPS? I've been playing since early teens, coming up on 32 now... still consistently in the top while playing the handful of shooters I play. Perhaps it's because I'm not playing the twitch

Wait, in order to build this, they've launched half a dozen rockets up with no idea where the boosters would come back down and land? That seems up there amongst worst ideas I've heard for a while, "good luck everybody else.&

It seems the year 2022 is a sort of "experiment" in terms of testing this theory. Food prices have inflated ~10% this year, nice round number although lower than your suggested "2x the price." Do you think this resulted

I don't disagree with your premise, but if something like half the country doesn't agree that the cops are fundamentally flawed, labeling them effectively as an extremist group will only further entrench their stance that "yo

While I agree that the weapons, armor, and technology generally given to police is not appropriate (especially at small town levels, vs county sheriff, swat.. etc), trying to label them as a paramilitary organization is only going to result

As others have responded to you, and like you even said - "fire until there is no further threat" doesn't mean mag dump. However, that is what police do. This is a sign of very poor situational awareness, not "sticking t
