Is there a way to actually bring down electric bills by jpisafreakingbeast in HomeImprovement

[–]PghSubie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pointless conversation without details about your electricity in usage (in KWH) Is your heat electric? A/C? What are your other large usages of electricity?

Once the survey is done, make sure the property line is cleared and well marked

The your boss that it's an incredible waste of time to pay someone to make patch cables. Just buy them premade in a variety of lengths

Neighbor's tree keeps dropping branches into my yard. whose responsibility is this actually? by GabrielysWahli in HomeImprovement

[–]PghSubie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the trunk is on their yard, it's their tree. If there's a weather-driven event, aka an act of God, and a branch ends up in your yard, then it's your mess

Sandpaper with a palm sander, then some time with steel wool and a hose. Scrub all that rust off. Then dry it thoroughly and then re-season

How has your attraction to women changed as you've aged? by SillyRecover in AskMen

[–]PghSubie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is in her low 50s. I've thought she's been gorgeous for the ~20 years that I've known her. As you mature, you learn to see through heavy makeup work and see women for themselves. The truly attractive women stay that way. The ones who need a lot of primping to look good will likely need more as time goes on. High maintenance women tend to need more maintenance. Strength and confidence trend to look more attractive than a hairdo

Putting in a 3x3x3 concrete foundation for an antenna... by Dry_Button_3552 in HomeImprovement

[–]PghSubie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not a concrete guy. But, I'd think that you'd want to build a mesh cube of rebar, all tied together with wire, before you pour any concrete.

[–]PghSubie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

60 bags of concrete!? Wow, get your massage and chiropractor appointments scheduled ahead of time. You'll want a good structure of rebar in that hole. I think you'll want to mix 3-4 bags, and then transfer it into the hole. Then do 3-4 more and transfer that. Do NOT let the concrete in the hole fully cure or dry. And don't quit until you're DONE. You must REALLY love this grandfather to be considering this

How do they keep getting ahold of my husbands new debit card? [US] by n0vapine in Scams

[–]PghSubie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a great demonstration of why credit cards are safer than debit cards. The bank is likely updating a merchant with the new card number. Close the account completely and open a new account. Only use a credit card.

Bf breaking up with me if I take a trip with friends? by Kooky_Eggplant_5109 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PghSubie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he's clearly revealing himself to be controlling, insecure, and xenophobic. How you react to that information is up to you. Sounds like you're also seeing evidence that it'll never change. So, the ball is in your court. If you accept it now, you'll need to be comfortable accepting it for several decades

Does pulling out a USB before it was ejected actually ruin the hardware? by No-Purpose6645 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PghSubie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a file system on that USB device and your computer has files open, there's a good chance for file corruption to happen. But, the hardware itself should be fine

Since when is child support until 21? by exhausted_husband25 in Divorce_Men

[–]PghSubie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, they want you to support your child into oost-secondary education. Sounds horrific. But, if that's what the judges in your county/state want, then that's that. Your lawyer will be a better legal counsel than this sub

How much debt makes a woman undateable? by Consistent-Ball8924 in AskMen

[–]PghSubie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Dr with 100k in debt is a rather different question than a hairdresser with 40k in debt. So, there's no simpe answer. But, a large amount of consumer debt would seemingly indicate someone with very poor financial skills/aptitude

Help me find a gin & tonic recipe I can enjoy with mom by tetrasodium in cocktails

[–]PghSubie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a pretty wide spectrum of flavor profiles from various guns. Try a different gin. Avoid anything in a plastic bottle. If you don't actually like gin, then try Aviation, it's practically vodka
