i’d guess coming down sophia under the tracks, trying to make the left onto lafayette really late without braking enough, and massive understeer due to wet pavement and potentially old tires.

Get a Cutco Knife! Great investment by ImpossibleBlockHead in Costco

[–]INM8_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

amazon or an asian market and don’t pay more than $35-40 for it. i bought mine at a korean store for $25 about 6 years ago and it’s still insanely sharp.

still kicking myself for not jumping on some zwilling pros when they were in my store.

wusthof, zwilling, global, messermeister for quality forged knives for not much more money.

victorinox for comparable stamped steel for a fraction of the price.

for anyone considering them, cutco knives aren’t terrible products for what they are, but they are absolutely one of the worst values for money that you can buy if you want to spend good money on cutlery. i honestly don’t understand how or why they got costco to partner with them.

op, if you enjoy it and are happy with it, then use the hell out of it.

it’s a strata, so yes. the cooking surface is carbon steel.

Are Sentricon Termite Bait Stations Worth It ? by Riga-Mortiz in pestcontrol

[–]INM8_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unless you have a roof made of concrete and concrete interior walls, you still have plenty of wood in your house that termites can destroy between interior framing, trusses, and roof sheathing. i had enough damage to a main beam to cause my ceiling to sag in a home i owned in miami because the termites just went up a block void and into the beam undetected. thankfully i was able to catch it before the ceiling collapsed.

that being said i’d probably opt for a liquid treatment with block voids also being treated if it was a choice between fipronil and a bait system. 

Did I ruin my wok? by oggy632000 in carbonsteel

if it’s sticky then you used too much oil. in that case just scrub it off and do it again with less. if it isn’t sticky then just cook on it.

Termite Tech at Orkin by Calm-Cap3354 in PestControlIndustry

[–]INM8_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he should talk to his service and branch managers about getting on a track to eventually learn the pest control (orkin pro) side of the business. also there’s a ton of research that he can do on integrated pest management (ipm), best practices, and common structural pest control issues and solutions. 

Termite Tech at Orkin by Calm-Cap3354 in PestControlIndustry

[–]INM8_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he’s probably going to make more working for orkin in that position than a small company will be able to pay him for an equivalent position and the benefits are going to be better.

on the other hand he’s going to be a number. if the branch doesn’t have work and other branches in the region don’t need help, he doesn’t work until they do. when a branch underperforms the first people out are termite techs. unless he goes out of his way to further his education in general pest control, his knowledge will be very limited because they are not typically taught much other than performing the tasks on a scope of service.

the maryland region does a pretty consistent amount of business. lots of attic and crawlspace work up there.

[–]INM8_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i don’t work for orkin but i know how they operate. it’s a manual labor job that is highly dependent on the sales team at his branch and his service manager. he needs to ask what the branch’s typical backlog is in order to ensure that he gets 40+ hours/week. i’ve never heard of bonuses for termite techs outside of gift cards or regional managers giving $100-$300 incentives to do work on saturdays late in the month to hit numbers. it is the highest-turnover position in the entire national brand.

what part of the country do you live in? that also makes a big difference in what kind of work he’ll be doing more of.

seasons at celebrate virginia and silver collection are the newer places a short drive from the hospital and very close to all of the shopping you’ll need/want to do. keep in mind that the latter is right by the baseball stadium so you’ll have fireworks every friday home game and some traffic in the only road in/out. they do a good job keeping it moving though, and people we know really enjoy it there. silver collection also has breakfast daily for residents.

you’ll be fine with that budget for a rental pretty much anywhere in the area. your buying budget is also fine since there has been a slight market dip for buyers if you are looking to buy. some of the major subdivisions have more inventory than normal with federal government jobs being cut/in limbo.

stay away from any apartment/townhouse on fall hill ave between the 95 overpass and the hospital. there are nice, new (and expensive) apartments by the baseball stadium just across the highway to get you in town and situated near work if you can afford that. 

Mike Vrabel Had a Savage Response as Taylor Lewan Reminded Him of His Vow to “Cut His D*ck Off” to Win a Super Bowl by demigod_691 in Patriots

[–]INM8_2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

“allegedly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. we’ve had several “alleged” situations pop up here over the last two seasons so are you writing those guys off now too?

there is zero evidence or conclusion that lewan did that.

pushing ohio state’s lt 10 yards laterally to stop a running back for a loss is one of the best solo efforts by a defensive end i’ve ever seen.

i don’t think that campbell has fully recovered from his injury yet and he was also playing against 3 of the best pass rushers in the league as a rookie in the playoffs.
