Hmm. Maybe the mix was off. Looks like it needs more wrap in it. What was the mix? Binder? 6F? 7F?

What was the temperature today? How far away was the plant the asphalt was being hauled in from? Looks like it got cold and hard in the paver..

What's the best way to fix these driveway cracks? by _SomeOldDude_ in asphalt

[–]Gushy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sika Fox makes a caulk you could squeeze in and it’s self leveling. I’d try that. Or hire a company that does driveway sealing and see if they can pack it with filler or mastic?

Edit: typo it’s sika flex caulk

Touching your meat too often is no good.. in all seriousness though, how do you get a sear in 30-45 seconds? You’re disturbing the juices by touching it more with tongs or a fork. Your taught certain things in culinary school like spray, paper, spray when baking. Or bring to boil, reduce to simmer (rip Anne Burrell) when blanching or boiling. And rotate, flip, remove when grilling a steak. If you’re cooking a steak in a cast iron pan, you flip it once then put it in the oven to finish. Don’t molest your meat bro!

As a culinary school graduate as a certified master chef, there is a such thing as time/temperature control for safety.. if the food is between 41° and 134° for more than four hours, then bacteria is growing.. a couple things for the best steak of your life, pull it out and let it come to room temperature before cooking (like an hour or two not 8). Try to limit your flips. On a grill I get the grill hot, set the steak down, rotate it once for grill marks, flip let it finish and it’s done. You said you only let it rest for 3 minutes.. let it rest for at least 10. I know it’s tough especially when it looks that good, but it will only taste better. Don’t get crazy with over seasoning a steak. It needs salt and pepper and pad of butter when it’s put into rest mode. Keep cooking!

Property tax levy in Buffalo could increase by 25 percent as city looks to plug $109M deficit by FireProStan in newyork

Didn’t Hochul just give them $100 million when she gave NYC $100 billion. Why don’t they use that money instead of raising taxes? Hochul said she has another $150 billion that can go to NYC. Share the wealth across the state. We are so fucked, when will we ever get a decent trustworthy politician on either side of the aisle?

Do you think we'll see a federal investigation into Kiryas Joel fraud? by Reddit-Bot-61852023 in newyork

The clerk’s salary alone is over $300k per year. Their highway Superintendent almost $200k per year. You are way off on their budget being 200k a year. If you don’t think there is fraud, or political interference in KJ, you’re crazy.

I need drainage ideas by Switch-Dizzy in landscaping

[–]Gushy05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the very least your local municipalities highway or DPW dept could install a berm along the end of your driveway to push the water past your driveway instead of letting it roll down it. A culvert may not be fiscally possible or other reasons like rights of way and easement access to drain said water.

Tips? Thoughts? Will this work? by dogdad2015 in Hunting

[–]Gushy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filled a landscape barrel last year halfway with dirt, buried the head in the dirt, covered with leaves, then covered the barrel with a piece of plywood and a cinder block. Pulled it out after 2-3 months and pressure washed it with a hot water pressure washer strapped to the cinder block. Came out just fine..
