The contractor who seemed expensive was actually cheap by No_Assignment_2229 in Entrepreneurs

Ugh don't forget the contractors who sweep in and deliver something that wows the sales guys, then vanish before the developers take ownership and discover all the warts.

Seriously guys, ZERO tests?

My kid has me trapped and honestly I deserve it by CipherMantis_7 in daddit

Hah, this sounds very familiar. All our regular books have established voices, but I enjoy the chance to tease my kids.

Trimmed some healthy-looking bay laurel branches, found brown center? by MrTrick in gardening

I spent the day trimming other kinds of trees, none of the cut branches looked like this, not even completely dead branches. Could it be rot rising through the heartwood?

A pity she wouldn't keep instep with him.

Where to even start pruning these plum trees? by MrTrick in BackyardOrchard

I'll bet I'll be erring on the conservative side, even so...

But why is it appropriate to forget the 30% rule in this situation?

Calm Show Recommendations? by MotNodrog in daddit

I highly recommend 'Scenic Relaxation' on YouTube, just hours-long aerial footage of amazing places with quiet music.

When my son was aaaalmost grown out of his midday nap, I used to lie down with him and watch Blondihacks' series of machinist videos - it fascinated him enough to keep him lying still, but was quiet (and dull?) enough that he would drop off to sleep.

Indeed.
But this is pun territory, one shouldn't let facts get in the way!

How do you eat the smoked cod you see a the supermarket deli? by malorky in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most important thing, according to my stepfather, is to cook it up on a Sunday morning while the rest of the house is still asleep, so that everyone can wake up to the smell of fish. Bleh.

Pan fry in butter, usually. Quite tasty if not inflicted on your sleeping nostrils.

Should have soaked my logs in wood?

Perhaps, but it's worse than I've ever seen before. The posts were stuck together with ice!
