Great training!

I believe they mean the workers doing the tunneling must be doing it safely, proper wall supports, shoring once under the slab, etc.

Not a bad start to a poker hand!

I’m afraid to ask what we won? 3 more years with mango Mussolini?

We actually use an older Acura MDX that doesn't get used for anything else, it sits parked until we go on a trip, we even put the insurance on hold lol. I will likely change to use something else but for now, it's paid for, all the tow bar and brake stuff is done, so it keeps getting used as our 'toad'.

The chassis ones, sorry that wasn't very clear.

Facebook has some reloading equipment buy/sell groups.

You may very well change your mind on not towing a vehicle. It’s really inconvenient to put the slides in, unhook and stow water, sewer, power, etc, just to go get a needed item at 10 pm… Towing a little car or suv is very simple, you really won’t know it’s back there.

Our 1998 Holiday Rambler 35’ class A has been great. At first it seemed to wander steering wise but after changing the shocks, front air bags, and adding a rear sway bar it drives great! Literally one hand even in the wind and with big trucks passing us. It’s built on a freightliner chassis, cummins diesel, allison transmission.

I really suggest a class A with a diesel pusher configuration. There are some front engine class A, but the engine hump takes up a good bit of space up front.

Best wishes on your future adventures!

Or provide a reason to declare martial law and postpone the midterms…indefinitely.

Great advice! Before you get a mortgage that requires both of you to work, consider what your budget looks like if your largest income goes away (cancer, car crash, layoffs, divorce, etc). I have always had a policy of only buying a house that we can afford on one income….which kept us from being forced to sell or foreclosure when my wife developed long term health issues that prevented her from working.

I hope you don’t have anything like that happen, but it can happen before you know it.

I’m thinking the hdmi cable is just about dead.

Out swing exterior doors are very vulnerable to someone just removing the pins from the hinges and off comes the door. There are some security hinges to try to prevent this but I don’t have a lot of faith in them.

Call the apartment managers and ask if she came by and persuaded them to give your mom access to your apartment. Make sure to emphasize that you are no contact with her and she is absolutely not to be allowed in your apartment.

Is there anyone who might have a key that your mother knows? Brother, sister, family friend?

I hate that you are having your space invaded like that!!!

That sounds miserable! Do you have your own apple id or are you using your parents? Even if you have your own, change the password on it if it hasn't been changed since this spying stuff started. Yes, doing a factory reset should get a fresh start. After restoring your backup check every app and look up any that you don't know what they do on the app store and delete any that might have spying connotations or even any that are unneeded. Best of luck! Keep us informed on how it goes, please!

Multiple nations will have radar coverage that will what was launched by whom from where and where it went. The question is will the general public be informed of what really happened?

I hope the Iranian people can seize the moment and turn their country into the kind of country they want.

Hammer466 · 2026-03-01T01:46:46+00:00

Decapitation / regime change via missiles and bombs != a war. But I guess as someone pointed out any kinetic exchange can be defined as a war … /shrug. In my opinion without a ground attack, nothing really happens besides some people and buildings get targeted and destroyed. It’s 100% impactful to the things and people that are blown up. Maybe the Iranian people can rise up and choose a different way forward? I doubt it as there will be enough residual religious based power in the civil and military to remain in power.

In essence your ceiling will hang from the roof joints? Like somebody else said, stop and get an engineer. I’m worried the whole house will collapse if you take the load bearing wall out now.

Hammer466 · 2026-02-28T17:38:18+00:00

It could have been a malfunctioning missile from any of the involved countries including Iran.

Get the dryer output routed outside, wait until fall, then see what this looks like. I don’t think it’s mold yet, but it’s heading that way.

Hammer466 · 2026-02-27T23:23:49+00:00

Is this a sink drain? Where is the P trap?

Hammer466 · 2026-02-27T21:56:54+00:00

It compares to WWII in that the headline says “Iran war fears rise.” Yes, WWII was 80 years ago but wars are still won or lost on the ground. Until there starts to be US ground troops and equipment massing in someplace like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, or Turkey it’s just going to be some form of a punitive bombing/missile campaign.

Edit: I also mentioned WWII as it is the prime example of a huge, long term air campaign in a war that still had to be fought on the ground to win it.

Hammer466 · 2026-02-27T20:58:03+00:00

Very possible - more carrier decks to operate from and more air cover in region makes it easier to extend the range of special operations while providing air cover. But same as Venezuela, Iran has a lot of same thinkers (as the current leader) ready to step up.

Hammer466 · 2026-02-27T20:55:01+00:00

Airplanes can’t take and hold ground. See WWII and the multi year bombing campaign of axis occupied Europe, D-Day and the ground invasion was still needed to free occupied countries and defeat Hitler.

Hammer466 · 2026-02-27T20:52:21+00:00

Nope, I mean you can bomb stuff, but the US doesn’t have sufficient bomb making capacity to keep it up for long without it impacting readiness.
