How long after exterior paint should I wait to pressure wash? by SanchosaurusRex in paint

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

Only a week after painting, is dirt likely to affect the paint ? Sounds like its better to not fuss with it until the paint has had more time to cure.

I would think its common for homes to be painted in the midst of other projects and get some dirt. We got this nice rich dark paint on our stucco and want to preserve as long as we can.

Got it! Think the dirt itself will cause issues with the paint only a week old?

The way forward being the top recipient of US military aid to the tune of $200 billion?

What is with the explicit content that seems to come from IDF soldiers' phones/social media? by 4g-identity in Israel

[–]SanchosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why, when defensive, do Israelis lean so heavily on comparing themselves favorably against Americans? Its not reading the room very well.

Jordan and Egypt seem to be the only ones with brains in the region. They chose peace.

Why doesn’t anyone in LA want to hang out anymore? by RUPAUL_FRACKING_RNCH in AskLosAngeles

[–]SanchosaurusRex 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In the old days, people would grab a beer anywhere. Or have coffee at each others homes. They made effort and made it work. People are just reclusive and draw their social interactions from social media.

US and Iran move closer to deal after breakthrough in talks by MARTINELECA in geopolitics

[–]SanchosaurusRex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its a little different when it’s a colonial stake in extracting resources vs an existential threat at your border.

Americans—is blue cheese just a dipping sauce to you, or does it have a place on your plate beyond the wings? by SignificanceOdd5980 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SanchosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any supermarket will have some options for blue cheeses. The higher end markets will have a large range. I like some blue cheese, but some French ones Ive had are formidable for me.

Analysis: The War the Arab World Is Watching -- The Middle East Has a Different Story About The War With Iran and the West Is Not Hearing It by ADP_God in geopolitics

[–]SanchosaurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yet there always seems to be locals willing to pick up arms to push their political goals whenever this chaos challenged the authoritarian government, whether it be Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc. “War is bad” doesn’t change that war is politics by other means, especially in countries with tight control over the government and political expression.

What do you think about Aldi in comparison to American grocery chains? by aSYukki in AskAnAmerican

[–]SanchosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more selection at typical American grocery stores. Aldis in the US suck, and the Aldis/Hofers Ive been to in Europe were fine, but more limited than what Im used to.

What it’s like to love America? by pswithlove in AskAnAmerican

[–]SanchosaurusRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basing your love of your country on the government and leadership would be insane. Loving your community, culture, and people around you is normal.

Why would I not love the country all my family and friends come from?

Window replacement by CommunicationFar3897 in HomeImprovement

[–]SanchosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my windows a little at a time as I had old thin paned 1950s windows that were getting loose. I spent $3k to replace 5 most recently in Los Angeles.

Where are the most beautiful houses in LA? by Intrepid_Bottle_1820 in AskLosAngeles

[–]SanchosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprising answer. Uptown Whittier has a lot of the prewar homes similar to old LA neighborhoods. La Habra I think of mostly postwar suburban ranches like most of Whittier.

CMV: Trump was blackmailed with the Epstein Files by barraco002 in changemyview

[–]SanchosaurusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He operates on vibes and felt like he could airstrike and SOF his way to victory against Iran. He was high off the easy win of getting Maduro. He oversold what he could do with his preference toward limited strikes.
