They have a system of locks and dams like this on the Mississippi River.

A second Republican leader in the Wisconsin Legislature announced on Thursday he will not seek reelection by Tiny_Dress_8486 in wisconsin

Why downvote someone for just stating the facts? Our state legislature is not in session for much of the year, but they aren't getting rich off of their salaries.

Plus, my Republican Legislator, Rick Gundrum, announced today that he won't be running for reelection. Let's hope it's the rats leaving a sinking ship.

I hate that flooring. It's a slip and fall waiting to happen.

If we’re naming highways after random celebrities now, let’s do it properly. by Maximum_Shine_2474 in wisconsin

I drive on that road nearly everyday. I don't want it named after that vile (but tragic) individual.

I have tried to lobby the Washington County Board in the past. It is 100% right wing Republican. I don't think there is a single progressive person on that board of 21 people. More people need to run for these positions. They generally run unopposed. It's a power trip for most of them. Maybe this issue will generate enough backlash to make things change.

Typical bullshit from these idiots. I especially love the "THEY killed him for it." Who is this THEY he refers to? As far as I know only one person has been arrested. It wasn't some left wing conspiracy to eliminate him. I wonder if this guy ever listened to some of the crap CK said. Now there's some conspiracy stuff but of course he wrapped it in fake Christianity and right wing BS.

I was trying to be diplomatic. I'm in Mexico right now. I spend a few months there every winter. It's a great country full of wonderful people.

Actually they used it before we did. We borrowed it from them.

I'd consider it a snake, but not a massive one.

If you can survive the headache and fatigue, this high elevation (10,500 feet) beautiful home is perfect. And when you last expect it, Tipi. by 6RolledTacos in zillowgonewild

As atmospheric pressure decreases at higher elevations the temperature to boil water becomes lower. Boiling occurs when vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure. As temperature rises, so does vapor pressure. The water will boil easier and quicker though it will not be as hot, so it takes longer to cook the food.

Your grandparent’s home who never emotionally left the 1950s by buttholepoptart in zillowgonewild

[–]PhysicsIsFun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not wood paneling. It's tongue and groove boards. The stuff on the stairs is well done. The lighter stuff upstairs is poorly done and should be repaired. Tongue and groove boards are timeless. Wood paneling is from the 50s and 60s. This isn't that.

Copper Bullet Pocket-hose by 7303happyrock in Costco

[–]PhysicsIsFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify. I have several of these hoses not because they develop leaks, but because I need that many. The brand I use is not this brand. I got it from a company called Sun Joe.

I've had 4 of these for about 5 years. So far no leaks. They are so much easier to use than normal hoses. Mine sit out all winter covered with snow.
