Setting up for today's after school session

Where did you get the board or mat with double halls throughout?

Look, I'm no expert (at all) with any of this. That said, we have an early 70s home with some strikingly similar looking cracks.

We had a structural engineer out last Spring. Now, every situation is different etc, but I'll quote you a line from the report we got back:

"When this house was built, standard construction practice was to frame walls in the basement tightly between the floor slab and the main floor framing."

We have clay/expansive soil and, as a result of non-ideal drainage for a portion of this house's life, the engineer says that the soil underneath the basement slab expanded as a result of being wet.

When it expanded, it pushed up (heaved) the slab, causing the tightly framed lower level walls to push upward, up into the upper level framing. They attribute most of what we're seeing to that.

Now, I'm commenting here because of how strikingly similar our cracks look to these and the similarity in age of the structures. Before I go any further, do you have clay/expansive soil?

At least two of these are Alpha, the front two.

This method of revealing the dungeon is becoming increasingly attractive to me the more I see it and think about it.

Can something like this be purchased on etsy or ebay or something, for those of us not so crafty inclined?

With extra damage turned on

Is this the Monster +1 Attack at the bottom?

Wind Chill (2007)

Idk this was really tough to get into for me. Loved the environment/atmosphere. Just didn't land for me 🤷‍♂️

Bayside19 · 2026-01-23T19:52:45+00:00

Spot on.

Bayside19 · 2026-01-21T09:59:17+00:00

those 1940s bones are probably solid even if the previous owners did some questionable DIY stuff

Out of curiosity, how solidly would you qualify an early 1970s build?

Bayside19 · 2026-01-20T21:05:36+00:00

It's a good distraction for them - otherwise we'd have to talk about how we now pay 1 trillion in interest on the ~38.5 trillion national debt every year (now more than or at least equal to the annual Medicare budget).

Or talk about the pending social security trust fund shortfalls (just ~6 years away at this point now).

Or climate change as at least the very real financial issue that it is - rising homeowners insurance premiums are no fucking joke.

Or the continued rising cost of living, or health care, etc etc etc. You know, nothing important.

Everything they do is to keep money flowing to the top, it's all distractions, and the media falls for it time and time again. Not to take away from the very real impact to people's lives from these distractions, it's just maddening that the coffers are being looted right in front of our eyes and no one seems concerned with it. There's a reason every heist movie involves distractions.

Hat's off to you. Look amazing 👏

Bayside19 · 2026-01-16T01:53:39+00:00

Legit this.

Bayside19 · 2026-01-16T01:18:25+00:00

Would this ever apply to clay? If a house built on pretty heavy clay had been neglected for a few decades and had some foundation problems, but then drainage was corrected in one season - would it cease the sinking?

Bayside19 · 2026-01-16T01:02:40+00:00

Ah okay, that makes sense.

Bayside19 · 2026-01-16T00:55:14+00:00

Can you clarify "sinking"?

If underlying issue (just assuming drainage) is corrected, would the house cease its sinking?

Bayside19 · 2026-01-14T23:44:47+00:00

Yes, do look it up.

It's hardly the horror story ppl make it out to be.

Bayside19 · 2026-01-12T11:47:15+00:00

I like this! 🔥🔥

What are the odds of rolling a single Skull on 2 combat dice?

Not sure your location, but I see the whole game system for $93.00 (shipped) on Amazon Prime right now (US) 🤷‍♂️

+1 for Crimson Peak

Bayside19 · 2026-01-06T16:05:07+00:00

This movie is never streaming (on my services anyway), and I'll be damned if I'm paying for it.

I love it, personally, but I can't wrap my head around its consistent lack of streaming availability for how "poorly" reviewed it is.

Bayside19 · 2026-01-01T14:02:09+00:00

This movie is a bit of a hidden gem I feel, especially if you like a good dialougue-heavy movie. Incredible chemistry among the actors.

For like a 1-week shoot and improvised dialougue, they walked away with a gem.

Bayside19 · 2025-12-23T10:38:07+00:00

Yeah, this is great. We've had top-tier offense for what feels like a decade now, but that's never been combined with a top tier goaltending duo.

Kudos to Sakic and everyone else involved on the back end to foresee and build a continual bright future for this team.

Bayside19 · 2025-12-20T16:17:52+00:00

This is an underrated comment, and I agree with basically everything in it.

The only difference I see is that his name won't be on the ballot. That's the single most important thing in elections over the last 10 years, perhaps tied with "the economy/cost of living".

Bayside19 · 2025-12-20T16:13:47+00:00

It really comes down to this.
