  1. It’s expensive after the fact. Every utility is. Planned in advance it’s cheaper and safer. Unless someone can prove me wrong I’ll continue to believe this is a direct result of kicking the can down the road, and being unwilling to invest for the future.
  2. Imagine what our production would be if our political leadership wanted to lead. Goddamn.
  3. I mean, I would consider this a win at my house.
  4. Previous generations used existential threats as motivation for positive change. My hope is that current generations do too. To you other point: I saw this quote in the home insurance thread in CYHMWT recently and it really hit home:

    Yep. I watch only in person, and half the games due to sharing seats. When games were on over the air, I watched the vast majority. If it were ESPN or something easy, would be the same. Apple TV even with our subscription with season tickets sucks. It’s just a pita.

    Anyone commented on the increased parking prices now that it is thru seatgeek? Fuck me they are trying to ruin this franchise.

    Ah Guendouzi. Talented player. Shit for brains.
  8. Could it be F16s are finally in theater?
  9. We wouldn’t do this. Do you really think other countries would? I think if we don’t lead the way things fall apart.
  10. Having been in New Zealand on Anzac Day, it’s really something. We caught a rugby match that day and the pregame ceremony was incredibly somber. Pretty stark contrast to here and Memorial Day.
  11. What? How do they count/track rooftop then?
  12. Static load is static load. Whether it occurs over the course of one week, or 1/2 hour at a time once a day for the next however long makes no difference on the fatigue of the structural members. but it won’t fatigue at all unless your house wasn’t built for the correct load anyway, in which case you were fucked regardless. if the squeak truly is new my guess is a weeks worth of humidity made something swell.
  13. Had a tripping shirtless homeless dude jump in the back of my truck after shoulder checking my mirror while I pulled past him at 6th and 35 this afternoon. He used the time to try to negotiate something that I was not able to discern. That was a fun experience on the commute home.
  14. Most if not all have warming coils in them now to prevent freezing. Either drip inside to keep water moving or cut water to the unit and drain. Usually easier to drip inside with where the shut off valves are located. Also the yellow gas line don’t need no stinking insulation.
  15. Heat tape inside a wall? Are you trying to burn down his house? Because this is how you burn down his house.
  16. The problem was not the heat pump. The problem is how they sized it. They didn’t expect a load of that size. Read your contract with your HVAC company. They generally guarantee a 20 degree delta from the normal exterior temp. That’s it. In Texas they oversize ACs because they don’t want a callback cause your wife can’t see icicles on the countertop in July. The entire world uses heat pumps. The Pacific Northwest is not some special climate where the technology fails.
  17. Looks like Signs up in this bitch with random containers of water on n our countertop. My wife is pregnant and I haven’t run out of alcohol, so not fighting that battle yet.
  18. Anything to do with manufacturing that touched defense was deemed essential.
  19. What is alarming is the number of fireworks stands open on 290. Seems like a bad idea, but what do I know.
  20. Thanks for bumping the thread. This makes so much more sense.

    Why did we extend that dude when he basically got no time this year when our defense barely had a pulse? I hear he’s a great locker room guy but we just need better players across the board. This makes no sense to me.
  22. Goddamn. I wonder if that motherfucker enjoys being a piece of shit.

    I mean I wasn’t impressed..but he’s not our biggest issue. Hope there are more changes coming.
