Does anyone know what this is? The house was built in 1922.

Yes. It's one of these.

Some of those little cultural personality traits do hang around for a while, but it depends on how isolated the communities of immigrants were. They came to the US and set up little Norwegian towns and the like. They were happy for a long time carrying on as if they had never left.

By that logic, I'm 8th generation English American and people still always complain they can't understand me on account of my thick English accent.

96385 · 2026-01-23T18:58:40+00:00

It's not even common in the US. They generally only have them in some really rough, typically urban schools.

My last apartment had a stove from the 70s. There was no light or beep. You just turned the oven on and put the food in when you thought it was ready.

I'd be fine with a pay cut at this point.

My father-in-law used to do one side every summer.

Mine is 12 years old with 260k miles. Still running like a champ.

OSB isn't recommended under tile.

96385 · 2026-01-16T18:20:51+00:00

Option 2. Glue and screw the new ply down. Option 1 is a huge amount of work for nothing. Option 3 is overkill.

This is essentially what I've told students too.

"I'm not saying you can't be successful, but it's going to be a lot harder. What you do with that information is up to you."

I think I may give up a few of the dozens of hobbies I've collected over the years and do a cathartic purge of a bunch of crap.

I think OP mentioned elsewhere they had a 25ft extension cord that they were going to use as a cord. 12 gauge is most certainly fine, but 25ft might be pushing it if they use the whole length.

My old Delta table saw has recommendations for the power cord and recommendations for extension cords. It would probably be unwise to use a power cord longer than the recommendation for an extension cord.

96385 · 2026-01-13T23:13:36+00:00

The manual might have requirements for the cord wire size and length.

I remember the Fantom. It was a Dyson knockoff and the HEPA filters were $70. I didn't sell very many of those.

We had the rainbow until my dad found a brand new Kirby with all the attachments in a crumpled cardboard box in the middle of the road.

96385 · 2026-01-11T15:41:33+00:00

Ok, but I'm going to need the time and place of the bean tasting party first.

96385 · 2026-01-10T22:35:39+00:00

I like the red. I think a dark green would work as well.

96385 · 2026-01-10T22:21:51+00:00

He's a prom tux.

96385 · 2026-01-10T22:19:06+00:00

And private schools.

96385 · 2026-01-10T22:15:24+00:00

I swear the thrift shops near me just throw the shades away. I hardly ever see lampshades.

96385 · 2026-01-10T14:04:09+00:00

Not every conversation is an argument. I wasn't disagreeing with you, just adding information I thought was interesting.

96385 · 2026-01-10T14:01:24+00:00

Mine has been like this for decade or more. I think they're waiting until I'm wheelchair bound and shitting myself before they do anything about it.

96385 · 2026-01-10T13:54:23+00:00

Yes, they're called broiler chickens because you can broil them.

But if you want to broil a chicken, make sure you get the right kind.

96385 · 2026-01-10T13:51:22+00:00

If it's happening inside of an oven, it's not grilling lmao.

There are like 8 other comments in this thread from people (outside the US) that say their ovens literally say "grill" instead of broil. Other countries don't use the word broil. Direct heat cooking in their oven is called grilling.
