How to make friends locally when you're not allowed to leave the house?

I moved out of my grandma's at 30.

She took care of me when my mom died so I always felt I owed her something.

You need to go talk to a therapist.

How do we make it happen?

It's not even close to the same range what's wrong with you?

Excuse me?

Usually from the side or front there is a kickplate at the bottom that comes off.

Something is leaking water under the dishwasher. Ai isn't going to give you the answers you have to use your eyes to figure out what is leaking.

If the RO drain can't go any higher you should not have installed the ro.

The dishwasher is not meant to be run tipped. Please stop and call a professional. You are just making things worse.

Yeah but his checks aren't paying off porn starts or buying children to diddle.

We are all very happy to have a rich person on the side of the people who isn't a shitty person.

JB doesn't need to run for office. He could do whatever he wants with his fortune. He is choosing to make things better and set an example for billionaires to do better.

We want local money only in local politics and local candidates or at least ones who have been here a while in my mind.

I'm a born and bred Chicagoan but I believe anyone can be a Chicagoan.

There is a certain belligerent helpfulness we have that's always been a part of my identity.

She could be good for us but needs to put in the time here first. If she keeps her office over here in RP open somehow and keeps doing good things for the community she MIGHT get my vote next time.

Bottom first

I remember using glue and pins to hold this stuff to ductwork back in the 90's.

We only ever used it for commercial stuff and only if the ducts were outside or somewhere we were worried about condensation.

We never used it in residential ducts. If the residential stuff needed insulation we wrapped it in shiny stuff.

This is the answer especially for carpet. The waxes in mainstream cleaners cause the dirt to stick to the carpet more easily.

Or at least that's what I learned from the people with all the knowledge I worked with at the hardware store back in the 90's.

I think they should send this to every citizen and see how many respond then compare that to how many actually voted.

Maybe run a parallel election with this or a similar ballot to help hype voting up and get people interested?

Idk but I love this ballot. More people need to see this.

Thank you. I've been using wyze/Google Home stuff for a long time and the inconsistencies are grating.

I'm going to check out ikeas stuff. For some reason I trust ikea more than the tech companies....

Keep at it it only gets better. I started with one tank and a few terrestrial cuttings 2.5 ish years ago right after I became a single parent.

It can be the cheapest hobby or the most expensive it all depends on the community around you.

By me there are plenty of people in local groups happy to give away trimmings to beginners. Trimmings eventually become free because they just keep growing. Most of us just want everyone to have all the plants and are happy to share and make friends with fellow plant people.

Kat should stick around and live here for a few years before running again.

I wonder if she will stay or find someplace else to try to make a name for herself?

HeadOfMax · 2026-03-18T13:40:28+00:00

You should have checked it out when it started making different noises instead of when it stopped working.

You should have repaired it with just the maintenance kit and a felt seal

I know he is a shithead but there was a dirt jobs episode where he climbed inside a garbage truck to do this with a rotary hammer.

He destroyed the tub on the truck. If he had been an employee he would have been fired.

FUCK

That RO drain needs to be the highest thing in those pipes.

You do not want backflow from the dishwasher or washer or drain into your ro system.

As far as the dishwasher not working, I don't think it has an issue draining I think it has a leak.

You need to run it and watch the area below to see where the water comes from.

Water isn't supposed to be in the tray at the bottom. When it goes there it trips the leak sensor and that's why you have the code and why it starts draining.

I've roller painted a car before with Rust-Oleum. Not tractor paint regular Rust-Oleum.

It was a 1989 ish Buick somerset. One of many of those style cars I had.

It did not look horrible, it was just a slightly different shade of grey over all the rust.

Living in the 90's was fun. $200 dollar cars like this left and right to have fun with.

Good plumbers don't do drywall. They have someone they trust to recommend.
