  1. Drained my spa today and no cracks. I am slightly hopeful my only crack is structural.

  3. I'll answer. See below The silica exclusion was apparently written into the policies to prevent medical claims for lung damage due to inhaling silica dust during construction. Apparently they think the wording is broad enough to deny Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) claims since Silica is in the name. There are usually multiple parties involved. The Builder or general contractor carries general liability policy to be able to get permits and build things and then the supplier that is subcontracted to pour the gunnite or shotcrete. Many pool builders are now denying claims and saying it was the installer's fault. I bet the next step is the installers go after the aggregate suppliers. The insurance policies usually have coverage limits. Not an expert but the difference between gunnite and shotcrete is that gunnite is sand based and shotcrete is aggregate based. Gunnite requires about 10% fly ash and Shotcrete about 25% to lower the pH of the mix to avoid ASR. One of them is mixed in the truck and the other is mixed as it is shot out of the hose. I think shotcrete is the latter. Again, not an expert. That shotcrete requires more fly ask could be a contributing factor. When did you build it?
  4. Court Marshall and dishonorable discharge. No GI bill benefits, no medical, etc.
  5. Kyle rolled down the window for his video. He wanted to talk to the 8 protestors.
  6. The sad part is he is the one that published the video and all it shows is that 8 people came out to give him the bird. He's trying to prop up his relevance, but only relevant because he killed people and even then he gets like 8 protesters. We shouldn't post about him here until he is in jail, beat up or dead.
  7. I disagree, The Dukes ended up with a substantial portion of the market but they overpaid and when they go to deliver to grocery stores or whatever they will not recoup their investment. EDIT: It's also implied that the Dukes bought on margin (a loan) and the assets they bought were valued at less than what they borrowed and the lender called the loan and demanded cash since the collateral (the commodity) was not worth what they owed.
  8. Yeah, watch out for that one. (I know, wrong car but I don't pick up corn snakes either)
  9. Don't believe this is true. The sold shares they did not have (the short) and then they bought them later at a lower price (the cover) to deliver to the people that bought from them at the higher price. If it is a pure cover play they only buy enough to satisfy the obligation to deliver the shares they sold short. Break Once the covers are bought then you might see another round of short selling. When Gamestop was a big deal this was happening except the meme traders did not sell their shares so the short sellers had to cover with inflated stock prices and actually lost money.
  10. I did not read that article. Too much trauma to read any more. In a previous article I read it stated that it took extensive/expensive testing to rule out the bad aggregate so the fly ash additive was a sort of preventative measure that was always used because it was less expensive to add the ash than to test every batch.
  11. With a name like Beavers you'd think she'd promote an Acronym that spells QUEEF
