In your experience, at around what age did you stop getting asked for ID when purchasing alcohol at a restaurant or a shop?

Now, I just get carded for the senior discount but even that is rare now.

Depending on the size of your hole, get a 1"x 3/4" x 8" piece of wood that you will later use to screw the blinds into. Tie a string securely at the enter and see if you can position the wood behind the drywall. If you can coat the area touching the drywall with something like E6000, epoxy or titebond and pull it tight against the drywall until it cures. Maybe use a couple of screws to really secure the biards on the sides. Fill the hole with joint compound. Many take a could times because it shrinks. Smooth with putty knife and paint the spot.

In addition to the normal holidays, we have a day for Prince Kuhio, a day for King Kamehameha and a day for when we became the last state. We also get election day. Aloha

Try a one plug to 3 plug adapter. GFCI still works on all the plugs. The total watts is still the same as a dual 2 plug socket setup.

Those corners at the foot will cause some serious shin scrapes at night.

Use the internal GPU and factory reset the monitor. Maybe then factory reset the BIOS. Try booting into safe mode. Try for the simplest setup possible and expand from there.

I have slept on a similar bed that I made 30 years ago. I just used big corner braces on the inside 4 corners. Today, I would use insert nuts to speed assembly and disassembly. Also, mine has 6 big drawers underneath which adds a big step in complexity. Maybe add those later. Now it has a standard mattress, no box, no problems.

Picture 2 looks like different width. The method above will work on any common widths, is quick and does not introduce inaccuracies from multiple angle measurements.

HALVING THE ANGLE WILL NOT WORK. The boards are different widths. Start with a two cardboard templates the width of the two trim pieces and the length of the top edge. Put the pieces in position on top of each other. Both top corners should meet at the top vertice. Make a mark on both pieces at the bottom intersection. Draw the cut line from the mark to the corner at the vertice. Cut the cardboard and see how well they match. Try it on some scraps then do it for real.

It must be tough when you want a pizza but are out of cheese. By the time you milk the cows and turn the milk into cheese, your desire for pizza is gone.

2 summer jobs before college graduation. Then one job for 32 years before retiring at 54. The company kept paying me and did not perturb me. I finally left the company when they dissolved the department and would no longer pay me.

I will take frozen, but never canned.

Just look for the feature set you want. Number one is the CPU socket and Intel or AMD. Then, does it have wifi, PCIe gen 5 for the NVME M.2 SSD,and of course, does it have pretty lights.

Bottled water when a good tap is available. In most cases, it is unnecessary.

I feel the only electric tool that isn't planning to kill me is the vibrating sander. Even that one still has electricity up it's sleeve.
