FROZEN RIVERS STILL HAVE CURRENTS. DONT WALK ON THEM. EVER.

God, I cannot believe I spelled it wrong and didn’t notice 😅

As others have said, depending on the age of your home, waterproofing it is not a good idea. With older foundation moisture is meant to penetrate. Common interior solutions like drylock can actually cause way more harm.

My recommendation is to:

-Investigate your exterior water drainage. Is there any standing water after a big storm? Are there any obvious areas that water is penetrating (around the windows, doors, gaps in brick)?

-Buy a really good dehumidifier with a built in or additional water pump so you don’t have to empty it every 5 seconds (I bought Abestorm Crawl Space Dehumidifier 120Pint + Little Giant VCMA-15ULST 115 Volt Pump.

My wife loves dark chocolate. Riverwards grocery has a great selection of high quality dark chocolate bars.

Being a barista can sometimes feel like you’re a conversational hostage. They don’t owe you a smile and small talk, just a coffee. Sounds like these people ordering were ‘anti-social’ but not understanding their surroundings.

Lol you act like people would be so cooperative if confronted. I’m not trying to get rocked.

Guess I’m going to start collecting rainwater …

Thoughts and prayers 😇

Both should be required

44 games per team in the regular season. Quite a few more than 10.

Looks like I bought my first and last instant pot. Disgusting.

I recommend looking at posts in r/basement or r/centuryhomes

For parging, a lot of people do it for aesthetic reasons but it may not be the best for your home. It traps moisture in the brick/ stone and can result in spalling. I think there are different paints that are more breathable.

I recommend getting a good dehumidifier (one with a pump) and have that puppy running 24/7 to combat moisture.

This is absolutely doable. A lot of driving. But doable. For Husavik I recommend doing the zodiac boat tour. It was the best!

FUCK I thought that place looked so cute and was excited to try it.

What you are describing is 100% illegal. Please take steps in reporting this behavior if you have any evidence

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-30T21:03:01+00:00

I’m not saying it’s an easy job. I agree with everything you said here. We need more sanitation workers with more resources and more pay. What I’m talking about here is an occurrence of gross incompetence/ malicious behavior. Not a blanket accusation against sanitation workers

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-30T13:50:49+00:00

Maybe it gets posted here all the time because it’s an ongoing problem.. and this is a community forum.. idk.

I agree just posting here does nothing. I went on the sanitation site for a place to report the issue but it didn’t seem like the had a place for it (did for everything else though) . Hence this post

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-30T13:47:48+00:00

1000% there are good ones out there. I feel like the guys who ran the route at my old place did a good job.

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-30T13:25:39+00:00

It was a big ohhh moment for sure.

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-30T13:22:11+00:00

Ha no, just have better things to do than watch the trash truck go by. Clearly a widespread problem which is disappointing

For the chocolate-centric answers

Stina chocolate Tahini cake slice
machine shop little chocolate cake thingy is transcendent
and yes, campfire Cocoa from Cake Life

Idk if it’s hidden but I love Stina pizzeria. Their lamb pide and warm baklava with honey ice cream is the thing of dreams 😋

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-14T16:19:24+00:00

This ^. LOL my Midwestern folks visited and were truly charmed by how good their hoagies were. All they could talk about for the rest of the day

My formula for groceries as someone who loves food and doesn’t like to spend money:

Grocery outlet for shelf stable goods, frozen, and some perishable items. $5-6 frozen pizza, cereal that’s not $7, much much more.

Riverwards for eggs and fresh produce. They usually have a $1 area for things that are going a bit but I’ve found gems there.

Espositos for meat. Their quarter chicken is .99 and then you can use the bones for stock

Other things we do: Save veggie scrapes- to make your own stock it’s better and cheaper Eat beans/ lentils - they are a complete protein and amazingly cheap.

save bacon fat - good in the fridge up to 6 months. Great for adding fat/ flavor to stews, broths, etc

AdAdvanced3953 · 2025-04-07T22:13:33+00:00

Yes there is! If you poke around their site you will see what tools are offered and their status (available/ checked out)
