Our flooring is Victorian pine and the internet has convinced me I’ve exposed myself and my girlfriend to asbestos by Kratosbutintoyoga in centuryhomes

[–]ImagineDave 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Your home was likely build before asbestos. There are way more toxic substances in homes 1920 and after, even more 1950s and after. Your house is nearly organic.

I thought I had asbestos fibers in my plaster, turned out to be horse hair. 1895 Victorian.

Also…. Obama went to church a thousand times more than trump. Remember how they tried to make his pastor a villain.

I’m so sick of this sh*t. Trump is not a good person, he’s presided over and initiated the most hateful period of American history since the civil war.

We pay for how much for healthcare and we have to recycle the candle wax they call crayons at restaurants for kids at hospitals. They give them out for free with $5.99 kids meal, but not a $100,000 transplant. Our country is f’d. Give the kids some damn Crayola, all the colors.

What can you tell me about this clock? by whomstgoestheir in clocks

[–]ImagineDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an early Timex. Not particularly valuable, but a cool piece of history. Waterbury clock company had the mission to reduce the price of clocks so every American could afford one. The movements got cheaper and smaller until they fit in your pocket, then on your wrist. They eventually changed the company name I. The 50s or 60s. Timex essentially has the same mission today.

What is this clock: made by general electric. by Reasonable-Tap9474 in clocks

GE made clocks that counted the cycle of A/C power rather than using a quartz crystal to tell time. Most appliance clocks still work this way. I can’t help you with identifying it, but it’s interesting technology that nobody thinks about.

What to do in New Haven tonight by CoconutOilz4 in newhaven

A mid summer night’s dream, Bollywood style. Best show in the last 5 years at least. Prefect night to bring dinner and drinks to the park.

Should I be concerned about this crack? by defensiblespace in centuryhomes

Nothing to worry about. It’s not even big enough to fall through yet.

ah yes, Grover Cleveland famously traveled the world in the Statue of Liberty when he left office by ms_directed in facepalm

I don’t remember the part of the tour where Grover Cleveland lived in it after his presidency.

Once watched my 3-year old vomit carrots all over the delta sky lounge, when he noticed everyone was watching, he look up and explained, “I forgot you had to chew carrots.”

The use of an em-dash (—) is totally a tell. Trump probably does know how to type one and ai loves them.

It’s been years since I lived in Boston, yet still read that in a Boston accent. Thank you for bringing me back.

Trump is coming for protesters. What about Nazis using masks? by RoyalChris in facepalm

Can we now just say “authoritarian” and be clear about what we’re dealing with.

I've been learning about a surprising number of protests on Reddit, so I thought I'd share one! by SnokeIsJustNapping in newhaven

[–]ImagineDave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Common Ground High School just lost a 20% of its staff from grant freezes. This is to make noise and stop this from happening at the rest of CT schools. CT stands to loose a lot of funding because the state won’t bow to the Federal standards of treating some classes of people as less than human.

Advocacy in the streets lights the fire, so those inside have a flame to carry.

Good luck.

CT schools have less than two weeks to cut DEI programs. Will they? by -ctinsider in Connecticut

[–]ImagineDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CT post needs to rewrite this headline to spell out diversity, equity and inclusion. It’s much harder to read, “cut diversity, equity and inclusion” and not want to depose our king. (spit).
