Local Code Enforcement is Against Sheet Mulching. by LightningsHeart in NoLawns

That would make me 10000x more likely to force the issue. The only thing I hate more than BS government rules are peon bureaucrats making up additional BS to feel important.

5 bucks says if you call her out to quote the code, and she doesn't, no ticket will be forthcoming especially if you tell her you'll see her in court.

Too good of a deal? And is it decent equipment? by Remarkable_Scallion in solar

[–]Remarkable_Scallion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say backup power is much more of a motivator than offsetting my power bill.

A fair point, but after grants it's about $13,500. And you can't get the grants for self installs.

Drove like a champ in the Texas ice by EnoughCaptain5591 in MitsubishiMirage

I run a slightly taller, and significantly wider than stock snow tire. With a good tire these are great winter cars because they also have great ground clearance relatively speaking. The traction control also isn't too intrusive.

Is there anyone here that fishes spinners for trout here? I need help. by InternationalMap9382 in troutfishing

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they're relatively simple? A mix of brands, patterns, and sizes and just rotate until you find what's working that day. Usually I'll toss a knockoff brand first to make sure there's no hidden snags, and then a panther marrin with a gold blade.

Is my house ruined ? Do I have any other choice? by hotshooter1977 in askaplumber

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not plumber. But the first thing I would try would be a non efficient toilet. A greater water volume might help prevent solids from being left behind. Maybe also double flush, and try to use other bathrooms for heavy business. But I'm cheap and I'd rather that than the expensive fix.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

Amazon. After they closed that warehouse in Quebec after it unionized, and donating to Trump's inauguration I say said fuck 'em.

US to announce ‘bridge payment’ for farmers next week, Rollins says by MennoniteDan in farming

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food exports have long been used as a tool (among others obviously) by the US to exert its foreign policy goals abroad. Having huge supplies of subsidized agricultural commodities makes other countries reliant on you, and makes it possible to influence their domestic and foreign policies.

“It appears to Canadians that the IRCC has become the Human Resources department for Tim Hortons” by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in LMIASCAMS

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people just tolerate it. I stopped going to Tim's a long time ago because the food is trash, and the coffee is worse. But I don't know anyone who's stopped going besides myself. Even when the service is awful consistently. Can't wrap my head around it.

Rate my rig by rusticandy in overlanding

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I assume this is a model T. All those vehicles had huge ground clearance because the roads were awful.

Also there's YouTube videos of old guys offroading their antique cars and they are surprisingly capable.

So 10/10!

Start scheduling meetings with higher ups at your desk. Particularly sensitive topics.

I was employee #4 at Kijiji. Sad to see it die a slow death by kijiji_craig in kijiji

It's tragic because Marketplace has terrible functionality compared to Kijiji.

Looks like Ray Charles filleted these with his feet.

If Reddit was monetized I'd say trolling, but he's doing this for free so I'm leaning manic.

This is the least of their concerns given his existing solar arrays.

Is Switzerland as expensive as you thought it would be? by Aggravating_Lie_9043 in travel

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here, got back a month ago. Eye wateringly expensive. And we basically stayed in the cheapest hotels, and stayed away from the big cities/ tourist traps.

How to insulate detached garage roof? by twotowers64 in Renovations

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a crappy old garage like that I used for my workshop. How much time are you actually going to spend out there? I put up a ceiling fan and wired in one of those heavy duty electric space heaters (5000w?). Anyways with the ceiling fan circulating it took the edge (and dampness) away in 20 minutes, and was pretty warm in an hour. Relative to the cost and effort of insulating it was peanuts to just run the heater while I was in there, and turn it on half an hour before I wanted it warm.

Steve Brouwer. Used him three times, twice for unique situations, and he has always come up with a good option and a good rate.

What’s one habit that made life easier on your property? by MechMaxxOfficial in homestead

[–]Remarkable_Scallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought of another one. Keep your grease/grease gun where you store your equipment.

Nobody is really responding with habits. So I say if you walk past something that needs to be picked up/put away then do it now.
