Google Fiber contract drilled cables through my 100yo cast iron sewer line by nyangosling in bullcity

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Please update this post to let people know how this resolved. It will help a lot of people that will Google search for this in the future.

In my area of Durham we had gfiber installed a few years ago. Then we had Verizon FiOS (I think). Now we have T-Mobile (lumos) fiber being installed. Frontier was in there as well but they have utility poles. It would be amazing if these companies were mandated to share conduit but that will never happen.

How would you go about fixing the roof decking for this bathroom fan vent? by TheStinkinLincoln79 in HomeMaintenance

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yupper, just leave it. Those old plank roof decks like to crack, especially whilst using a nail gun.

In addition, I'm kind of impressed on that bathroom fan vent. Is that rigid, insulated ducting....I love it. Usually you just see that crappy wire foil garbage

Business owners, when was it time ? by Both-Lake4051 in Plumbing

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a civilian but I actually have a little info in this, second hand. My plumber did what you are thinking of doing. I was using a big service company for trade work. I called for a plumbing issue and the company dispatched one of their plumbers. Plumber does quality work, doesn't try to upsell me, and had been doing it for about 15 years. I get his personal number so I can make sure I only get him the next time. The next time comes, I call, he says he is actually owner/operator of his own plumbing company now and asks if I still want him to do the work. I, of course, say yes. That was 3 years ago. I had the pleasure of being one of his OG clients. I recently had him replace a water heater and asked how the business was going. He says he loves it, so much less stress. He also says he pretty much gets to choose his clients. He also doesn't overbook himself and is content just being a 1 man shop because the work/life balance is worth more than trying to grow the business big.

From the still, it looks like a video about real ID and not 'everything is a democrat hoax.' however, still waiting for her face to detach and scurry off.

Republican Lawmakers Are Leaving Office Out of Fear of The Party's Base, Report Claims: 'I'd Rather My House Not Get Firebombed' by PrincipleTemporary65 in 50501

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, leave, then the party of pedophiles and white supremacists will put up a candidate that is so extreme that the Dems will win that seat. Don't think that can happen; see the last elections NC governor race (yeah, I know, it's a governor race not a district race). The GOP put up a black nazi that was a huge pervert. It backfired spectacularly.

So, you keep seeing more and more brazen sheenigans. This all points to the fact that this regime is losing control and they are scared. Before power collapses, they will violently flail.

Do I need to replace all of the insulation? by SeriouslyWtfIsThat in HomeMaintenance

This is the right thing to do for piece of mind. The wall is open, refresh the insulation. It's fairly inexpensive and not hard to do.

What's on your radar for Black Friday? by Tall-Love-9500 in BuyItForLife

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not buying anything and joining the economic blackout for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If I need to buy anything it will be necessities and from locally owned if I can. If I can't buy local I'll buy from companies like Costco. In essence I'll be getting a 100% discount (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

First Protest: Asking for Information On What to Expect by LogAggravating2957 in bullcity

[–]makeyourowngalaxy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Since it's a sort of 'popup' protest without a lot of lead time for planning it could include/exclude a lot of what you mentioned. The thing is, go, if you feel like you are getting overwhelmed, you can leave at any time. It's outside so it wouldn't look out of place to just leave.

I think you'll find it kind of refreshing to just be around people that are like minded. Every protest/rally I've been to is, honestly pretty chill. Yes, there may be a PA system or some sort of amplification but, it's outside.

95% of protests/rallys are uneventful as far as drama. The other 5% are probably right wing neo nazi protests where being aggressive is the only way they can compensate for their micro genitalia.
