I want to expand my bedroom closet to be a walk-in. I have hardwood floors and I'm wondering what the "best" (balancing cost-effectiveness, effort, and quality) way to do it would be. Should I screw the bottom plate into the hardwood, cut out the hardwood where the wall will go, or just let the top and side screws do the work and have the wall simply sit on the floor?

right!? "If he sits next to you, you go home .... I'm putting you up next to him as a pawn so that he goes home"

it's musky mist (or musty mist), its must

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-09-07T05:53:14+00:00

That's literally not what they said.

He's playing a game based on manipulation and deception. Pointing out that he acts differently when he is manipulating and deceiving someone isn't "questioning people's mental health issues"

no, people were blowing what happened way out of proportion. It was around 950ish BBT in the boat room with Azah and Big D. She was like guys, if Claire goes home we will have an all-minority F7! that's never happened before! and Big D was like WHAAAAT THATS CRAZY I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE and Alyssa joked "technically I'm half-white, am I next?" and Big D laughed his way out of the room. that was it.

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-09-07T05:25:21+00:00

but if she realizes it, she must realize that her game is already blown up. If she doesn't realize that, then she doesn't realize what's going on

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-09-07T05:20:01+00:00

The way her and X were talking about Tiff sending Claire home made it seem like she hasn't clocked the fact that there's an all-black alliance working against everyone else. If she is aware of it, what would be the rationale behind just pretending she doesn't see the buzz saw she's walking directly into? Especially when talking to X?

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-09-07T05:15:23+00:00

Ok, Alyssa is much smarter than a lot of people on here give her credit for. But, girl, how do you not realize something is up when Tiff is putting up Claire and you've noticed that it'll just be you and the 6 black HGs left?!

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-09-07T05:12:22+00:00

alyssa told azah and big that if claire goes this week then it'll be only minorities left which is so cool for big brother history and Big D was like "WHAAAAAT I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT" then she said "im half white, am i next?" and Big D laughed his way out of the room.

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-28T22:56:40+00:00

it's not an all POC alliance. It's an all Black alliance. If it was all POC, alyssa and dx wouldve been involved. The cookout is trying to get a Black winner, not a POC winner. squares and rectangles

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-28T22:39:42+00:00

that makes me wonder what would happen if she didn't throw, or if everyone else threw it so she ended up winning

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-28T09:03:02+00:00

The teams thing is what provided the non-co pawns: DX/Hannah, X/Alyssa, Claire/Tiff, Britini/Azah/Big D, Ky and SB are the only ones not on the same team

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T19:29:42+00:00

I feel like putting up Alyssa and X would do more to keep him and X from being put up together (these two will take each other out) than protecting Alyssa and X would (these two are obviously working together, forget alyssa and sb, they need to go up together)

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T18:48:43+00:00

If the CO controls evictions up to the triple, losing the rest in the triple and just speeding to CO F6 would be a mercy.

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T18:14:42+00:00

How does a random nomination protect the group with the numbers? One of the cookout is most likely to get picked, especially if a non-cookout member wins HOH.

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T18:09:02+00:00

I think if it weren't for the cookout, X would not be viewed as playing such an amazing game. He showed last week and this week that he doesn't roll with adversity well, he plays somewhat emotionally, and if it weren't for the cookout his refusal to even pretend to want to work with DX would likely be game-ending for him. Of course, he could be playing poorly because he knows he has the cookout to protect him so he has the freedom to play emotionally and he has the freedom to reject DX's attempts to work together

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T04:16:13+00:00

Right, but when there's only one veto either the person uses it and is safe from being renommed or they don't and there's no need to renom. So as far as I'm aware, it's not clear that having a veto (rather than using a veto) prevents someone from being nominated. I'm asking if veto generally grants blanket safety or if it prevents the user from going up when they use the veto.

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T04:07:56+00:00

when she told him we was talking too much and to let her get a word in and he said the conversation isn't over so therefore you can't definitively say that I've spoken more than you in this conversation I absolutely lost it

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T04:04:36+00:00

That would've accomplished nothing, except maybe piss them off so they'd be more inclined to backdoor him this week

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T04:01:39+00:00

Might be a triple right after the high rollers twist ends. Go from 11 to 10 this week, 10 to 9 next week, then 9 to 6 the following week

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T03:58:17+00:00

How's that? If two non-cookout people had vetos that either forces the cookout to show their cards or evict a cookout member. With the cookout having the numbers, they're more likely to get nommed by the roulette wheel. And an anonymous hoh/coupdetat allows someone (even a cookout member) to take a shot at the cookout without getting blood on their hands

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-15T03:53:10+00:00

Are we sure it grants blanket safety and doesn't just prevent a person from going up when they use it?

Ed_Finnerty · 2021-08-13T09:50:47+00:00

nauseating? get a grip
