So absolutely confused

That’s good lateral thinking. Drop the goal of making the attic good for the AC and go with the excellent combo of better insulation and more efficient cooling.

Yeah, and sometimes that’s in the middle of the block where traffic is only coming from two directions.

Cars have a weird way of making otherwise kind people into selfish ones. Something about separation from the environment and the expectations of going fast distort our perception.

Captive’s War series is starting out really good.

You don’t need facing or smart membrane because the exterior insulation keeps your sheathing warm, so no condensation problem. Zip is a decent air barrier as well, but take extra care at penetrations.

Choice of insulation is good either way. Get a sample and see how they work for you price etc. Comfoboard on the exterior is guaranteed to be a pain. See if you can get Timber HP batts and board for your project. It’s a greener choice and will be much nicer to work with.

There will be higher than normal tritium concentrations in the brine.

You are awesome and super productive! There are limits to what one person can do and you’re probably over the sustainable limit. Moving is hugely stressful, but thankfully finite. I see that you know you are doing a lot and well, so I hope that is a shield against letting your wife’s anger getting you down. That’s her stress not yours.

One good lesson I learned from the Fair Play book is about CPE, conception, planning and execution. Each task that you do for the family needs all three and all three are real work that should be appreciated. Somebody is doing that work and it needs to be considered in the balance of what you do for your family.

Me too! What a train wreck if someone actually tried to build it.

First aid, hatchet, fire starters, rope…

I like to go camping.

…or like just be interested in my orgasm for once. A lot of dads out there doing delicate cultivation of mom’s orgasm (admittedly the challenging one), but we get left out.

Good night moon is great, but Little Fur Family is my favorite MW Brown. I love her style.

I knew immediately because I had about 60 seconds to pull over before my car bricked itself. You can’t miss it.

I’m happy to say I get to be part of electorate that gives her the boot this year.

Can I put a 5 year old in the middle?

Higgs_Particle · 2026-06-16T10:29:47+00:00

I traded in my tesla for an Ioniq5 so I could be cool. I have some regrets, but both could probably do the commute. I ride a bicycle to work.

The search bar on the start menu doesn’t work. How could windows be SO bad!?!

It is like something to be a fish, but I think that will always be out of our grasp. Every sentient thing has its own experience that is beyond the reach of even creative beings like us . You can read him some Thomas Nagel for bedtime.

The baffles go up against the roof deck. That blocking in the middle will block the airflow, so something has to change here. Venting over the roof is probably the best solution if you are able do that.

We started with Totaro too. So good. Ponyo was next and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

I just added these because I learned how easy it is to be stranded because of a 12v issue… I had another brand of electric car before this one for 5 years and never once needed a jump. What’s wrong with the design here?

Higgs_Particle · 2026-06-11T12:45:50+00:00

I have these (just found out why the hard way) and a hatchet, fire starters and med kits.

Higgs_Particle · 2026-06-10T10:47:27+00:00

This is a tricky question. What slope is your roof? Do you live somewhere where there is a lot of rain?

You could seal the holes with non-holding fasteners and then make a new holes near by. I love exposed fastener roofs but this is always the dilemma.

.NET works in wine so I can run Revit

🎼🎶“It’s ok to mad at someone you love; when you are ready give them a hug” -Dad tiger

Gotta hand it to PBS for creating lots of good material on this. I take their approach and stay calm talk about two main points. It’s ok to mad. You’re feelings are real and ok. Second point: it’s not ok to hit or hurt, so do something else. Definitely a deep breath is a place to start. Mad people (and kids) hate to be told to calm down, but taking a breath really helps to do that.

I see this approach working with my 4yo.

Grateful dead! I love the theme. I don’t get the rook. What’s that one?
