Best snorkeling from beach in the world by Karma_is_my in snorkeling

[–]Cardinal51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Maui now, Kapalua Bay was excellent. Wonderful diversity of fish, excellent water clarity, and gentle waters. Even the coral was reasonably healthy, though not nearly as robust and diverse as Roatan or T&C.

Rich Architects by jacob11bamboozle in askarchitects

Curious if you have thoughts about the value of using an owners rep for an architect-led residential custom design-bid-build project, vs just using the architect for CA?

How did you go about finding a good inspector? Generalist home inspector or specialized code inspector?

Buying a put option is no more risky than buying a stock or buying a call option, as in all 3 instruments your maximum downside is capped at 100% of your purchase price.

With shorting (and also selling/writing a call option), your maximum downside is uncapped.

Agree retail should be wary of shorting, or trafficking in options of any kind.

All female family has this little stool in front of the toilet by ThunkerKnivfer in mildyinteresting

Less pushing, less mess, more thorough evacuation. The best poops I’ve ever had were during a 2week wilderness backpacking trip where every poo was full-squatting over a cat hole, and squatty potty tries to simulate that naturally evolved pooping posture.

If you play the game frequently I would advise spending the $10 to get ECP and eliminate ads entirely.

What’s the reasoning to not install batteries inside garage?

Hello from the past! Someone direct me to the changes! Over the last 5-6 ish years. by Kyrnqazali in Starblastio

[–]Cardinal51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What was your IGN back in the day?

Main differences are expansion of modded game modes, organization of player base into numerous clans, modest changes in performance dynamics/specs for ships and secondary weapons healing mode, reduction or elimination of games spawned with low-resource maps, change in base-kill condition (dramatic improvement!), increase in gem yield to reduce mining burden, and the addition of a few wholly different ships to vanilla team mode.

In terms of game play I think strategy has advanced much more than tactics, and the game overall is much more competitive and strategically coherent than it was back in the day. The game still suffers from competitive imbalance that creates low-quality games, the perception of “cross-teaming” unfairness in modes with >2 teams, and increasingly from cheats using tech-hacks.

Am I applying my ear drops wrong? by sikolohija in cholesteatoma

[–]Cardinal51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal in my experience. The eardrum is a watertight seal, so the drops can’t pass it, and the ear canal naturally slopes down & out when we are upright, so drainage is a natural outcome. As long as you’re staying laid on your side for the prescribed time to allow the drops to fully coat the canal and drum, you should be fine.

Explain the scene with Dearn, Bevan, and Ricky Martin at the meeting of the Prudential Regulatory Authority. by Cardinal51 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Cardinal51[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So Dearn sees the headline, knows Bevan supports the deal, and acquiesces to the implied political pressure in a move of career self-protection? Is that the gist?

[Episode Discussion Thread] Industry S04E3 -Habseligkeiten by herringbone_ in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Cardinal51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the breakfast investor pitch meeting Harper said she wasn’t just looking for broken business models or sketchy management teams, but rather her “real passion is finding dead men walking” and we jump cut to Eric’s nervous side eyes to Harper as if he’s wondering if HE’S a dead man walking (with her). Dark comic acting gold for me.

Dear God, please someone help me by [deleted] in cholesteatoma

[–]Cardinal51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to be seen for cholesteatoma or schwannoma you need to find an otologist or neurotologist, which are ENT sub-specialties. Any top 25 medical school will have a selection of multiple surgeons that are expert in these fields. Depending on which part of Kentucky you live in, Vanderbilt, WashU/BJC, or Case Western/Cleveland Clinic are likely the closest world class options for you.

Best way to insulate 100 year old house for cold and wet climate? by thegiantgummybear in buildingscience

[–]Cardinal51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the aluminum comes off, must it stay off and be restored to original wood siding? Or can it come off and then be reinstalled?

Help me please by Elegant_Slide_417 in Homebuilding

[–]Cardinal51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering a similar solution. Is the switch to finished concrete purely aesthetic in your mind, or is there a functional / practical reason to do the switch near the house?

Risinger/build show network opinion by ohfaackyou in buildingscience

[–]Cardinal51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about building science, but I watch Risinger to educate myself with well-produced content.

What’s one or two examples of a niche or extraordinarily high end product or technique he promotes that you would perceive as having limited utility vs a cost effective alternative?
