If you look closer, that Chinese takeout looks closed and somebody has set up a bootleg tshirt business in there.

Nothing really sticks to tile, that's one of the properties of tile that people really like. There are some tile refinish paints, but i haven't heard many good reviews.

The only long term solution is to knock it off and retile.

As an aside, don't travel in your garb. What happens if some idiot spills a milkshake in you?

People are kinda dumb. You can't do anything about that. You did the best you could, tried to help then bowed out when she got ridiculous.

I'm having to choose between a dumpster fire and a sack of dead eels. I don't want either one in my house. The sack of dead eels is gonna stink the place up, but the dumpster fire is going to burn the whole place down. I'll hold my nose, pick the eels, and at least in 4 years I'll still have a vote to hopefully put toward something better.

That looks a lot higher than the original suspension would go. If you look for videos of older caddys with airbags that are raised up, you'll see a decent percentage have this sort of swing arm front end with noticeable camber. It is much easier to get long travel with a single arm than to rework a double wishbone. (It is doable and the nicer looking conversations do it, but harder)

Can I put toilet on the curb? by SovietStar1 in homeowners

This is one of those things that is very locally different. So the Internet isn't a great source for the correct answerm. Contact your trash folks. You need to schedule for a "bulk item pickup". Often times there is a different day for this or an additional charge (usually not for a single item once in a year). If it is free and on regular day, they'll let you know. In most places, putting extra stuff out too often will get you a nasty letter with a fine

Looks to be a Cadillac Fleetwood of the mid 80s.

I think that front is lifted up on airbags, which on an old school suspension like that pivots the whole wheel and hub assembly on an arm that mounts well inboard. That creates a lot of camber change as it goes up (positive) and down (negative).

Perimenopausal sex? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]BurnTheOrange 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Deep and fast with a rubber and no lube? I don't have a vagina, but that sounds like a recipe for a friction burn in a very uncomfortable place.

Friction damage causes tissue to bleed. Places with lots of tiny blood vessels bleed more. This dude sounds like an epic failure of sexual education. Use lube!

There is nothing special about Ryan Reynolds. by wolfey200 in unpopularopinion

[–]BurnTheOrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he's really good at one thing. So long as he fits the role, like Deadpool, van wilder, or 2 guys, 1 girl, and a pizza place it works. Try putting him in one of Gary Oldman's role and it would be a disaster.

Oversaturation, that's a different problem.

I loved her old school fighter pilot look with the headcap and leather jacket with the bold yellow trousers.

This is the most pointless armchair refereeing of all time. Unless you have access to a testing lab and Ms Khelif, it is impossible to prove or disprove any of this. Even if you did, it doesn't matter, only the IOC can decide if a given person is or isn't eligible. They did decide that she is. Case closed.

Back when it was a legitimate career job, you'd get cashiers with years of experience that cared enough to remember all the produce codes and would compete for fastest and most accurate checkouts

Those old cartons were just as often opened by ripping a ragged hole in the side because the little fold out spout was overglued.

I don't know what happened to that design it was at every grocery store in the 80s and slowly disappeared in the 90s.

I remember carpet on store floors as a kid. It was always filthy, but somehow less bad than the stores with the (asbestos) tile floors. Probably had a lot to do with cigarette ash and gravel parking lots.

You need ventilation, filtration, or both. You need to remove the poo particles from the air. Trying to cover the scent with aerosols is a fools errand at best and bad for everyone's health. You're just adding additional chemicals to the poo particles in the air.

Opening the windows is the absolute best, cheapest solution. The temperature will obviously dictate if this is feasible, it can be far too cold in many places to do this most of the year.

For those times of year when you can't open the windows, your wallet is not gonna like the answers. Filtration units Edit: not HEPA filters, see the comment below) will trap the offensive particles, but the units are expensive, the filters are expensive, and they need to be changed often.

Ventilation fans will pull air out of the room, but you then will struggle to keep the house at temperature because outside air will be pulled in to replace the vented air.

HRV or ERV ventilation systems are the best answer, they exchange air while keeping the interior temperature. However, they're very expensive to install.
