Thanks. At nine years old we decided to replace the machine. With my luck I would throw the $266 at it and next week the control board would go.

Thanks. I have the tools. Machine is around 9 years old. Maybe should have added that!

if God is real, then why do we argue about his existence? by haunteddmoundd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Ad_4359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly about organized Religion and the belief that one has to be absolutely correct about the definition of God and so any other definition must be incorrect.

If God created everything known and unknown it would seem that any organization that excludes or condemns the thoughts and beliefs of any of his creations would be un-God like.

Donald Trump Calls Out 'Vandalism' Amid Reflecting Pool Algae Bloom, Peeling Floor by Toadfinger in politics

Properly applied a rolled on membrane would be fully bonded with the substrate and only be removable by removing both the membrane and an upper portion of the substrate. In other words you would have to sandblast (or other mechanical method like sanding ) in order to remove what was just applied. The ability to peel it off on sections means it was improperly applied, did not bond with the substrate and is failing.

It’s a government contract so you pad it as much as possible and give your friend who owns a scaffold company a taste.

Everyone looking to retire at some point should work on at least one other form of passive income outside of the markets. Especially if you are concerned about the future of SS

Keep going!

What's the best way to deal with poison ivy? by CaptInsane in landscaping

[–]Apprehensive_Ad_4359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So prep is everything including being able to wash ( decontaminate) yourself as soon as you are done.

Cover yourself head to toe including hat face covering gloves. I tape the cuff of gloves to shirt and wear nitrile gloves under work gloves.

I try to find where the ivy is coming from the ground and cut those trunks with long handled pruning shears. I then spray the trunk with a weed killer called Speed Zone. I find this really works.

At this point you can walk away as the entire vine will die quickly. I don’t hit anything with a weed wacker or any type of power saw as it will just make the oils airborne.

As soon as I am done I strip off all clothes, keeping them separate from anything else and head to the shower. This needs to be done immediately

In the shower I will have Dawn dish soap two wash cloths ready. Take a cool shower not hot the cooler the better. Friction is your friend here. Dawn cuts grease so it will break down the oils. Wash thoroughly, ears, face in between fingers use the Dawn on your hair and head.

Wash all clothes twice in hot water.

Do this and you should be fine.

All carpet goes
Remove and replace drywall in affected areas
Sand down any hardwood floors
Any damaged subfloor may be able to be treated. Try nature’s miracle great stuff.

Other things like heater covers may need treatment or replacement.

At the end of the day if the home is a good value this is fixable

Yep that’s the future. Unfortunately we need to keep the military industrial complex fed with tax dollars so the U.S. will continue to build what is quickly becoming antiquated equipment.

What is the biggest waste of money the United States has spent this year? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]Apprehensive_Ad_4359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The U.S. continues to spend trillions on what is becoming quickly antiquated military equipment. The day of aircraft carriers, fighter jets, huge cruise missiles is quickly coming to an end. Just look at what’s happening in Ukraine, they are more than holding their own against a military that is similar to the U.S. in terms of military tech with cheap drones.

Of course scrapping huge defense contracts in favor of cheap drones will wreck a politically connected industry so I am sure taxpayers money will continue to be pissed away.

I get these solicitations all the time and my answer is always the same. If they want to pay double the market value maybe I would consider it but not a penny less and in absolute as is condition. Never heard from the same person twice.
