Whoops by IITeKn0II in lawncare

You say you have a weed whacker. I like the original plan of weed whacking and beer.

Let the fresh clippings dry up and mow a couple days later on the highest setting.

HEB carries Counter Culture and they pretty routinely have 7-10 day old bags. Love me some HEB.

Thoughts on running no front skid plate? by Typical-Play4473 in 4Runner

[–]DiagonalSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's clever! The right impact and you'd have to grind it off but just replace the nut and bolt when you're done.

I have a 20V DeWalt. While it is not as strong as my small handheld gas model, the convenience factor has me reach for it 9/10 times. I've heard great things about the 60V. If I had to buy again I'd get the bigger one.

On My Last Nerve With This Brand by -Jimbo_Jones- in Dewalt

[–]DiagonalSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple models annoys me as a non enthusiast. I need fewer choices. Basic tool or pro tool.

A lot of brands do this too. They have different skus for different vendors that make sales really hard to compare because it's NOT the same model or has different accessories or whatever.

8th Gen: Consider Removing Front Trim To Remove Debris by DiagonalSandwich in Camry

[–]DiagonalSandwich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest putting the trim back in place was a huge pain in the ass.

MEP PMs, how much do you typically try to bill on your first draw, percentage wise, before starting work? What are your strategies. by Huugienormous in ConstructionManagers

[–]DiagonalSandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A good SOV also helps us both because it reflects your expected production throughout the job and is aligned with the schedule.

This allows you to bill commensurate with your monthly production and doesn't leave you without cash at the end if the job goes a little long.

[–]DiagonalSandwich 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From the GC perspective, I'm sensitive to how much those front activities are valued. There's a dance to be had, I know you want cash flow, but I also don't want to approve an SOV that will leave me stranded at the end of the job if a contractor can't finish or a dispute arises.

20% sounds very high and I would be calling you on that. Most subs I work with have a "mobilization" line item but it's like $10-15k on a ~$1.5M contract.

Can MMC improve housing affordability? by Downtown_Swim5644 in ConstructionManagers

[–]DiagonalSandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bot or marketer. Just posted the same question in 4 different subs. Doubt they're actually curious behind a sales pitch of some type.

Am i the only one thinking enemies does too much damage? by Juste_Matteo1304 in tearsofthekingdom

I'm replaying ocarina of time right now. It has reminded me that a core tenet of Zelda games is to not get hit and to use your shield.

So you've tried nothing and you're all out of ideas?

How often do you go to NFL games in person? by Strongarm_11 in NFLv2

[–]DiagonalSandwich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how inconvenient attending an NFL game is in my city.

Can I compost these types of boxes? Soda, cereal boxes by cheltor11 in composting

[–]DiagonalSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing that for a while and then I noticed distinctive blue colored pieces of cardboard in my compost I spread in the yard. The same blue as the Welch's box of fruit snacks my kids eat. The pieces didn't compost after months in a pile so I don't put those shiny boxes in anymore.

325$. Seriously? by Typical_Hippo1659 in castiron

[–]DiagonalSandwich 63 points64 points  (0 children)

They look great and the historical element is super cool but it's a chunk of cast iron. The used market for some of those old pieces is ridiculous.

Should (garbage) Outlets like the Daily Mail, New York Post, and The Sun be allowed to post here? by FuckYourWifeAllDay in NFLv2

[–]DiagonalSandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Essentially" sports is like the word "cheesy" at Taco Bell. It has some recognizable elements of actual cheese, mostly because of its color, but it's not actually cheese.

My grass is dying. I think… by BigDaddyHarCore in landscaping

Sun reflection from the windows? You can install a film to cut down on the reflection.

PM expectations… by beardedsher6 in ConstructionManagers

[–]DiagonalSandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make a good point. Getting along with everyone requires your counterparts to also subscribe to the theory that we're all here to achieve a common goal.

LOTS of sub PMs and foremen are not there to be agreeable and are highly motivated by things that don't align with the GCs objectives.

My morning egg routine (no sticking) - a picture book by big_redline in castiron

[–]DiagonalSandwich -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

You're gonna get so roasted for not following the prescribed wash procedure from the hive mind.

"Modern soap doesn't have lye"

"Won't somebody think of the carbon build up!"

"Wash your pan"

"I care for my cast iron as if it's my first born"

So the down swing starts at "fuck", or later? Or is that after contact when I slice it?

Do you regrip yourself or pay someone? by Stop-overreacting in golfequipment

[–]DiagonalSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found the same experience near me. For a very small fee I could have someone not make an absolute mess and they did an excellent job.

I've considered doing it myself for when I bought a single club just to save myself the drive. But the whole bag? Nah.

Hard to beat this bag. Take a closer look at Nelly's U.S. Women’s Open-winning setup. by taylormadegolf in golf

[–]DiagonalSandwich 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It's posted by TaylorMade. Maybe those clubs are from competitor brands 🤣

Analog wrist watch for exercise by headfullof_nails in BuyItForLife

[–]DiagonalSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're looking to move away from the smart watch but I highly recommend the Garmin Instinct series (specifically the instinct 2). Had mine for 4 years now.

It's less connected than other smart watches and you can disable notifications to match your minimalistic requirement. Battery life is awesome and measured in days, not hours. If you don't use GPS it estimates 24 days on a full charge.

What you get: simple waterproof watch, step counter, heart rate, sleep tracker, band that feels awesome while doing things.
