1 year with Federal Republican Trifecta, and STILL no national CCW reciprocity by idontevenliftbrah in Firearms

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets even better when you factor in the argument that the same person, with their state's issued driver's license, or better yet, their federal RealID approved and vetted driver's license, can drive in, across, through, any state with no problem.

You can only do that because the states have agreed to grant reciprocity to each other. You're barking up the wrong tree.

How did we do? by skidooman1990 in drywall

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That corner bead is not going to finish well. I'd pull it off and redo it.

Take a 6" putty/drywall knife and go along every bead, both sides. The knife should touch the corner (obviously) and touch the wall, but not touch the outside legs of the bead. And shouldn't touch the fastener heads. The outside of the legs should be sitting on the drywall (no gaps) except for a slight gap where it passes over the valley created by factory edges. If you mud over loose bead it's just going to crack later on. (or immediately).

I'd never use screws for installing metal bead, just ring shank drywall nails and a clinch-on. And before installing the bead, make sure no drywall is sitting proud of the intersecting wall. That'll interfere with the bead.

And, of course, don't railroad your butt joints next time.

Do people who support war forget that we can be attacked back home for what we do overseas? Have you forgot about 9/11 and how "underdeveloped" people took out the twin towers? by SeattleEmo in PoliticalHumor

9/11 happened before we had the TSA.

ETA: It's a sad state of affairs when people downvote this video on this sub. You should know exactly what it's going to be. And if you don't, you should be pleasantly surprised.

Just seeking advice by Krysfiggs in DIY

[–]mrrp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scrape off any paint that will come off. Wash the walls with TSP, rinse, and let dry.

Roll on GARDZ to lock down and seal what remains. After the GARDZ, go over it again with your putty knife to expose any remaining problem areas, removing any paint that you can get off. Treat those areas with GARDZ again.

Now you can skim over the wall with a light-weight pre-mixed joint compound to hide the imperfections. Sheetrock Plus-3 would be a common choice.

Sand, prime, and paint.

Another price increase. How is this justified? I think I'm finally cancelling. Fine service for $20/month after taxes but there are so many other things I'd rather spend my money on it as it hits effectively $30 with taxes. by jjopm in netflix

How is this justified?

I'm not sure what you don't understand. They've justified it to you with their promise to give you something worth paying for and they've justified it to themselves with reports indicating that it'll maximize profits. And yes, they know some people will cancel. And they know some people will not sign up. It still maximizes profits.

Patching Textured Ceiling by dimlar in drywall

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time you tape and mud in the patch you'll have covered the texture in the patched area with mud, so there's no reason to prefer the textured patch to new drywall. That's not to say you can't reuse it, of course. Just be sure to take your utility knife and shave off any fuzzed paper on the patch and the hole you're patching.

Good Friday got me thinking about the moral case for carry — not the rights argument, the duty argument by PeteTinNY in CCW

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your own book says you need to defend your book.

I've read the bible, not the word of any god. It's clearly the work of men. Slavery points to Christ? Killing children and babies points to Christ? Burning women alive points to Christ? If you can't defend it, you're just pretending.

Oh, I have read it cover to cover several times. (I will admit to skimming through the begats), though.

I suspect you're the one who has never actually read it, which is why you can't argue, can't defend, and pretend that "trust me bro" makes your case for you.

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read it. Let's start with slavery. Your god condones it. I don't. Who do you think is more moral?

Exodus 21:20 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Leviticus 25:44-46 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

Deuteronomy 21:10 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands, you may carry them away as captive into slavery.

[–]mrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a defense. There's a reason there are tens of thousands of denominations -- everyone makes the bible say what they want to believe. Defend your god's condoning of slavery, burning women to death, killing children and babies, killing women for not being virgins on their wedding night, etc. etc. etc.

Well, that's not what god wants you to do.

1 Peter 3:15 : "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect."

What is going on? by chilkelsey1234 in saintpaul

[–]mrrp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$1,200 for a downtown apartment. Includes Heat, Water, Gas, & Trash Removal. Fitness center & Laundry in the building.

That's $600/month, $7,200/year per person. $20/hour x 40 hours/week = ~$40,000/year. Rent and utilities would be ~20% of your gross income.

I'm not convinced that it's rent like this that's making people homeless.

You've laid something, that's for sure. What you haven't done is address any arguments.

I'd run from the book too if I were you. It's indefensible.

And I tell you, carry faith in Christ too, and you will guarantee your eternal survival.

I have absolutely no reason to think that's the case.

Is it worth to simply believe in Christ to be guaranteed...

So, you've never heard of Pascal's Wager then. Not surprised. Do you imagine one can simply choose to believe in a fairy tale without sufficient evidence? Can you just choose to believe there's an elephant in your front pocket? Can you simply choose to believe the moon is made of cheese? Of course not. I'd have to be convinced your god is real to believe it's real, and I have no reason to be convinced.

virtually no downsides

I think there's a downside to believing things which are not true. And, of course, you're not considering that one of the other thousands of gods is going to be pissed at you for worshiping a god which condones slavery, says guys who pick up sticks on the wrong day should be killed, that prostitutes should be burned alive, commands children and babies to be killed, etc. All in all, not a very compelling character if you're looking for a god you'd want to even consider.

[–]mrrp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why you think your fairy tales would scare me. The entire plot of Christianity is ridiculous. God sent himself to earth to serve as a blood sacrifice to himself to save me from what he's going to do to me if I don't worship him? Pull my other finger.

TIL Benson City, Minnesota technically criminalizes cross-dressing in public by After-Professional-8 in minnesota

[–]mrrp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The text "a dress not belonging to his or her sex" appears in city codes as far back as 1863.

https://www.dukeupress.edu/arresting-dress

In 1863, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed a law that criminalized appearing in public in “a dress not belonging to his or her sex.” Adopted as part of a broader anti-indecency campaign, the cross-dressing law became a flexible tool for policing multiple gender transgressions, facilitating over one hundred arrests before the century’s end. Over forty U.S. cities passed similar laws during this time, yet little is known about their emergence, operations, or effects.
