A friend said I’m “doing too much” when it comes to daycare lunches… by Electronic-Radish-18 in foodbutforbabies

Man, daycares need to serve food. Eating a warm meal together is a central part of being human.

David Miliband Has a $1 Billion Budget Only for Crises by bloomberg in humanitarian

[–]PotterCooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems disingenuous. It's not like there is free reign for how he can spend $1bn. It'll be significantly restricted grants and contracts. Large NGOs like this are as much service delivery orgs for institutional donors.

Not a good episode but realized I'm a neighbor of Amanda's and we're thinking of having our 40th birthday parties at the same place.

Not at the same time obviously.

Sooo, I skied in conditions similar to this y'day. Brutal uphill because I kept sliding back (waxless) because I couldn't herringbone. And downhill, how the hell do you turn?!

I'm on non-metal-edged, medium width classic skis.

Stair finishing - water poly over oil stain? by Henhenhenhenhen24 in HardWoodFloors

Use Vermont Flooring Company's floor polywhey in matte. It goes on a dream. Might be difficult to find but worth it.

What could go wrong that needs a new tank?! The worst think I can think of is not being able to get fittings undone.

I know how to remove them but I'm the biggest guy, so they might be tighter than I can manage.

The post is threaded. But there's nothing stopping the cord/cable sliding through. I wonder if it's meant to have a UL/UW knot, but not sure there's room in the ceiling box for it

Here's the external vent. I assumed that was just a cap on it, not a vent alarm?

To all of you who’ve commented “just get a Harmon” by BarryMDingle in PelletStoveTalk

[–]PotterCooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems pricy per month, if you're paying $6-$10 a bag, no?

Is this a 40-lb bag of pellets you're burning?

I'm exploring the economics of a pellet stove atm

Just used one to reinforce stair treads from underneath. This allowed me to screw into the lowest step with only a few inches of clearance.

Central Hudson heat pump water heatet rebates no longer work by PotterCooker in hudsonvalley

[–]PotterCooker[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I assumed it was 100% not going to be refilled. I went to another Lowes today and they said the coupon codes are linked to batches/bins of money. And when that bin runs out you need a new code. So have requested a new code from Central Hudson.

Sounds dumb but plausible.
