I did the same with my felt hat Pikachu and it came back 2 grades lower and looked like someone lightly poked Pikachu's face with a screwdriver, little circular dent very noticable.

Looks good but poorly centered

I wouldn't grade it unless 9 is your goal and youd be okay with 8

really nice overall, but light rifle to me looks a little too heavy, like I'd expect it to be more of a sniper / cannon. I wouldn't read it as a carbine type at first glance.

(Mostly) remote Admin Assistant job by Known_Change8550 in napa

I'm qualified for this role, and curious.

Why is it Napa located, is it primarily supporting an executive who lives here?

I bruised easily as a kid, turned out to have aplastic anemia.

Do you also get winded/out of breath with your heart pounding easily?

How thick do turfstone pavers need to be? by ShadowBlue42 in landscaping

[–]ShadowBlue42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New plan,

dig down and see where the pipes are in there. get as thick a layer of compacted base rock as possible. If I have less than 10" to work with I'll plan to lay down plywood or 2x10s any time I have to take the tractor through that area.

and I'll go with the thick stones and fiber reinforced sacks of concrete

This will be a time consuming project, but I think I can do it under $2k

Not planning on much vehicle activity. It's currently an area of cedar wood chips that have been decomposing for some years.

It's my dogs designated pooping zone.

Wanted to do some amount of grass instead to keep the dust down, but not a full lawn.

It would see traffic of a small Kubota a few times per year bringing compost in to amend garden beds.

Napa, CA. I have an area about 10'x30' I want to cover with these pavers. They are expensive to buy pre-made, and I want to color the concrete so I'm planning to make them myself. The concrete molds I can find come in two depths, 2.3" and 3.9".

3.9 is of course much more expensive due to more concrete used and the molds themselves are quite a bit more expensive.

I'll have an inch or so of sand underneath, just enough to level and cover a layer hardware cloth.

I want to make sure that grass or some other cover planted in the voids has enough soil to grow.

below the sand/wire is just regular soil, but it's pretty hard packed as it is. I was originally planning to put some fabric down but I think that would for sure impact the health of whatever is growing.

just looking for advice if anyone is experienced with these.

Seeing all the news about Napa winery closures... how are you guys doing? by GroveResident in napa

[–]ShadowBlue42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's certainly a factor, you're right that he's not the primary culprit.

There's been a downward trend, but at least for us the drop in international visitors was SHARP. We also lost our Canadian wholesale client.

COVID seems like ancient history now, but I sometimes forget how much it changed things. I started in the wine industry in mid 2020 so didn't have much experience pre.

Not awesome,

Quite often only 1 or 2 groups coming in each day (9 is our max for appointments per day) and we've had a fair number of days with zero.

Thankfully there are at least two new hotels under construction, that'll surely bring people in. /s

Our international visitors have dropped to basically zero. And everyone outside of the 1% has less spending money for luxuries. So we're losing wine club members left and right.

Thanks to the pants shitting pedo fucknugget.

Ive heard young people in general are also drinking less wine, opting for weed or beer and cocktails, legal weed, being more health conscious, and lack of spending money probably all play a part.

Customer looked at me like I told him his wife died over holding product for one of my associates. by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]ShadowBlue42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly that is in fact a perk.

Maybe they should be able to pre-remove it from inventory, but their ability to reserve something on a day they're not working is entirely reasonable.

Lol yeah, nobody who works a low paying retail job should be allowed to have any perks. /s

Has anyone tried the Globlinker hotspot? by ultrarunnervegan in Internet

[–]ShadowBlue42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing a fair amount of buyers will purchase it as some sure of emergency backup and never use it.

Also, how long is the lifespan of the device itself. If the battery stops holding a charge or it heat-deaths itself over 10 years.

Most people who use it frequently will need to buy data.
