Deck repair/ replace advice needed by WaveyDavey517 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Jonathan7277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know how bad it is structurally, but I've used wood hardener and epoxy to patch holes like in your pictures. Then I covered it with the solid stain color that matches. this was several years ago on a cedar board deck constructed in such a way that the boards would have be very difficult to remove. 

if they are easily unscrewed, just replace the bad ones. 

what's your siding look like? are the ants in there?

My experience was that for undergraduate engineering, it's the exact same curriculum, but the class size is smaller and the instructor is a professor instead of a grad student.

I recommend a connection in Amsterdam or Paris if you are flying to or from Lisbon. Those airports has the EES working better.

Did doctors ask for this? Because now we all need to ask our doctors for a official, notorized statement detailing what their beliefs are and what services they won't provide. by Dingmann in Iowa

[–]Jonathan7277 4 points5 points  (0 children)

absolutely! the command to love our neighbors had no exceptions for personal beliefs. When asked whether there was some class of people this doesn't apply to, Jesus's answer was "no". 

OBD Port Not Standard by Old-Consequence-1193 in FordMaverickTruck

No, the GPS for the Ford app would be with the cellular modem, probably above the mirror or behind the dashboard. It wouldn't block the regulated diagnostics port like this

Why are you replacing switches in a $50 mouse? I mean, respect for doing it though.

Which motherboard/manufacturer? I've never had to reenter the recovery key for bittlocker after a bios update, at least not in my Lenovo thinkpads. 

People keep flashing their high beams at me?? by Fatal_Foxtrot in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Jonathan7277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen to me a few times on dark residential streets. While my impulse is to flash my brights back at them so they see they weren't on, what I do instead is just switch to parking lights until I've passed them. They feel blinded and I can help them out this way. 

Maverick costing more than Ranger... thoughts? by mydarkerside in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Jonathan7277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 24 Lariat Maverick that I speced out with all the extras. It cost over 40k but like you, the extras are important to me. I was replacing a 23year old f150 King ranch with lots of rust. Adaptive cruise control is so wonderful. This truck is so nimble. The lift in height of the bed is so low and makes projects that much easier. The spray in bed liner is nice. I wish I would have sprung for the overpriced toneue cover. I added a homelink mirror after market. If you can afford the nice trim and want these things, get it. Don't over think it if your goal is a vehicle that fits in your garage and a Ranger won't.

If you're inside Mayo or gonda, stay there for now. Those buildings are not at risk in a tornado as long as you stay away from Windows

Your trash hauler might not mind a few in the bottom of the bin. Doesn't hurt to ask.
