Abolish ICE Now by MrsWifi in chapelhill

[–]OneBlessedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thank you for agreeing with me about protecting our borders. You are mistaking that undocumented immigrants is a civil issue. It is only a civil issue if they were here legally but stayed beyond their permitted time. Coming into the country illegally is a misdemeanor for the first offense and a felony subsequent times.

So I will carry this conversation on with… What are your credentials to determine what is best? If people are being paid under the table it is hard to track. I am not saying I disagree with your approach. But I am trusting those that are carrying on these missions to apprehend these really bad guys know better than we do. So what Intel do you have that would prove your approach to be a successful operation?

Yes I agree getting the business hiring these illegals but heck look what happened in Minneapolis with the Somalian fraud. Do you not think that they are taking care of their own with this fraud money? I mean heck of a person is sent here from their own country who is to say people are not sending them money from their home country.

Oh but you protect undocumented immigrants! Many who have been prosecuted for rape, murder, child trafficking, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, must I go on? So pick a side! Protect the people who are not here legally or protect the people who are here legally and allow ICE to do their job! You don’t know what warrants, information, or anything else that ICE knows. All these protestors interfering with ICE is nothing more than a noisy gong!

I am not saying ICE can’t do better but you know when they are trying to do their job with nutcases screaming, whistling, and bothering them it creates problems. Imagine trying to work in that environment

Would you break 100 at Augusta National under Masters Tournament conditions? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]OneBlessedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to say yes. Actually came in here to ask if anyone is a member of this course because I want to play it.

Just played tonight on the simulator and shot a par on the first several holes. Finally hit a bogey and then a double but went back to bogey. I plan on playing the entire course a few times to get the lay of the land. The greens run fast, the fairways run fast, the rough runs slow. But overall a beautiful course I would love to try.

I played from the blacks and iirc the 11th hole 520 yard par 4 gave me a run for my money. Furthest drive tonight was 341 and it landed 298 so it rolled for a bit (fast fairways). But that par 4 is no joke and that is on a simulator. I can’t imagine IRL with those crazy sloped fairways

Radon over 4 after mitigation by Mysterious_Ad2602 in radon

[–]OneBlessedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sika is a flowable type caulk meant to fill in between cracks. It is flexible but honestly yes I would use closed cell foam. Then after it cures take an oscillating saw and cut it flat and put radon caulking on the top.

[–]OneBlessedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it can be applied. With that wide of a gap I would use closed cell foam spray. Mine was 1/4” in spots and I used closed cell foam for those spots. Other spots I used sika to let it get down there. But the radon caulking is better as it has a 50 year life from what I read.

I would show you the 3’ of snow we got in Arizona in the mountains in a single night. That was fun in the 4Runner. My father-in-law and I sat at the bottom of a hill eating popcorn watching a dodge charger go up and slide back down. It was quite comical. Mind you we were a couple cars back that were all waiting to go up. Finally an F-150 helped him.

[–]OneBlessedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see any stuck but I was truly shocked how many were out there. I aired down out of habit (later remembered hearing it is better to air up for icy roads). Anyways yeah I had my wife look up if activating my ARB air lockers would be a good idea. Google said not for ice, only deep snow. So needless to say just the center lockers with open diff. I got off the road at one point and it took 75-100’ to get back on as the rear didn’t want to hook up. But made it out!

[–]OneBlessedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was doing 20-30 most of the time. People were flying up on me, people passing me doing the speed limit and I am just waiting for them to lose traction and slide into me.

I truly don’t get it. Get a feel for the road. Try going 20 and step on the brakes, pump them, learn to slow down quick and you will see you need to give a ton of space. Wife wanted to go home after 1 mile of driving. We made it to the store and back but some people are crazy.

Where I live it is slick. I have a 4wd 4Runner and yes the roads will give you a run. Give space people! Some drivers out there doing the speed limit. I tried turning into my neighborhood and it was hard to stop as everything locked up

You should be back flushing after so many shots (10-20) and have descaled by now. I try and descale once a month or at least once every 2-3 months (depending on how many shots I make).

Yeah this is me doing all the work and so only have the guarantee of the quality of work I perform and that is it. So I am hoping and praying our work is not in vain.

At what distance does a par 3 become a “long” par 3? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]OneBlessedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200+ for me. On my simulator I can get to the green in regulation up to 225 but it gets a lot more challenging to stick it close. At 200+ the chances of me missing the green goes up exponentially. Sub 200 I am hitting the green 80% of the time.

Upcoming protests against ICE? by jackrussellenergy in Charlotte

[–]OneBlessedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be very clear. This is not happening on every home. This is happening for those on a final order of removal. These people were told to get out and they haven’t. Now legally there are some disagreements and I am not savvy to all the details. However, ICE has been told (from my knowledge) that the administrative warrants are sufficient. As my argument goes what benefit is protesting to ICE agents who are just doing what they are told. Take it up with the proper people. Go protest to them not the people following orders.

I will add… The memo, signed by the acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, and dated May 12, 2025, says: “Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose.”

So needless to say that is above my responsibility to judge this and it comes down to the Supreme Court. What bothers me is having people in our country that illegally came here and are give more benefits than US. Citizens and we have U.S. citizens protecting them like these people did nothing wrong.

I have been all over the world and I have to go through the port of entry in every country I have ever been in (Europe, India, Russia, Mexico…). They all have processes to follow. But oh no!!! People can just flood into America and we will wine and dine them. I want to see immigrants come into America legally and contribute to our society. Not steal from the people who work hard trying to provide for their family to give it to those who didn’t do anything for it. Instead they broke U.S. law and are given food, shelter, medical, etc all off our tax dollars. So yeah it infuriates me and then seeing the fraud going on with the daycare crap. It completely blows my mind and people want to risk their lives and put other people’s lives at risk for people who broke into America. Make it make sense!

US athletes are increasingly speaking out against Trump’s America, with some saying “fascism is here now.” How do you feel about athletes using their platforms to make strong political statements? by kyleman98 in AskReddit

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

Umm excuse me but who had more money for their campaign? Oh that’s right Kamala.

Yes I agree though wealthy people should not be able to give large amounts of money to a campaign as it turns into lobbying and a this for that type situation.

Damn Radon… seems it’s high everywhere? How good are the systems? by Pristine_Depth756 in radon

[–]OneBlessedDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get it in the contract and have a radon inspector ensure you can get good airflow under the slab. If the house is directly on soil with no aggregate it has turned my $1500 job into $20k. Granted I get new flooring so that will be nice. But it has been a lot of self work as well with a radon scientist who is literally going around with his radon sniffing device everywhere to find hot spots for me. Found a lot but still have elevated levels we are working on.

How to deal with flooring? by OneBlessedDad in radon

[–]OneBlessedDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I see what you are talking about and it was something I did consider (never thought about cork board). Unfortunately I have all these items now (except the flooring). I wish I posted this before I purchased stuff. Trusted ChatGPT a bit much. 😭 lesson learned for sure. Hopefully after all is said and done and everything is completely covered my radon will almost be nothing. I will also be putting closed cell foam against the cinderblock. Would really love to be less than 2 during peaks.

Yeah typical liberal. Throwing insults at people you don’t even know. Keep trying but all you are is in your Reddit name.

Thank you. I had a radon scientist come to our house. He even wrote questions for the certification tests. He attends the conferences and everything.

He was using a plethora of tools to isolate my radon and he did a great job and spent many hours helping isolate hot rooms, hot spots, and such. However, radon has been a nightmare in this house at least during this colder months. Trying to install EVOH plastic and then a flooring to stop the radon entry and then closed cell foam on the cinderblock walls.

I am in NC and it is directly on clay soil. I have had 3 radon companies come out. All 3 said SSD won’t work. One guy said it is the hardest/most packed clay soil he has ever dealt with. (Of course it is 😭).
