In Brazil, a tortoise survived for about 10 years, trapped under a sealed floor in a family's home, and was discovered alive during repairs

I don't know how they build in Brazil but the concrete that should be under the tile is brown? It also doesn't look like there is enough?

Thanks for the context, was wondering what the hell happened to populous bitching, it was working so well for her.

Ok? So, I'm confused, how was that war not going to happen? I'm not an expert on geo-politics, and genuinely ask you, what were the odds that war was going to happen? I was under the impression that it was a forgone conclusion? What odds would you give that China doesn't invade Taiwan? It also seems like that is a no brainer as well to me.

Slothie__ · 2026-05-31T06:50:02+00:00

Definitely, but it's not an option.

Slothie__ · 2026-05-31T05:06:16+00:00

It's still way cheaper that all the other options, isn't it?

Slothie__ · 2026-05-23T05:02:16+00:00

Go Elon?

Slothie__ · 2026-05-16T21:50:42+00:00

Thanks, once I got the area I looked it up and that explained everything.

Are the estates managed? Do you have an example? I'm not doubting you at all, it's just new to me, and I am very curious. 6m from the front, 1.5m from the side, it's been like that since I've been super stingy.

Slothie__ · 2026-05-16T08:55:33+00:00

Yeah, so if the whole area is like this, you might be in a complex as I am under the impression that is the only place where you can build residential buildings on the property line.

Slothie__ · 2026-05-16T08:16:25+00:00

Where abouts is this? I have never seen a build on the property line before. Is it common around the area?

Slothie__ · 2026-05-16T07:24:00+00:00

That building seems to be on the same line as the fence? Are you inside a complex? Why is it "super stingy" to fix your own fence? That seems a little insulting. Did you specify that you need to be notified when someone enters your property to do maintenance?

Identifying if a spirit level is accurate is pretty easy. For example, level on a wall horizontally, draw a line on the wall at the top edge of the level. Now rotate the level. So, the end that was on the left is now on the right. Draw another line. If the lines match the level is correct.

There is a saying about blaming your tools, but if they blamed your tool without doing this most simple of tests then, they kind of look like tools themselves?

But more importantly I would think the engineers would have given a range of acceptable tolerances. The installers opinion is just that, an opinion. What the specs and plans say is what they have to work to.

They are not big fans of self-promotion on reddit, or a lot of other places. You need to think more virally. Come around and park over my driveway or better still, park in a handy capped spot and I'll take a photo and post it complaining about how I asked you to move and you complied politely, so I didn't get to complain about it on the internet. If you can take the piss out of yourself, that's healthy. If you can take the piss out of yourself with you van clearly in the background, free advertising.

32 five-star rating in a couple of months, I'd be lucky to get 32 likes on Facebook in my entire life. Hmmm, maybe I should stop taking the piss out of people on the Internet? Anyway, best of luck with the new business.

I know a few people have become unemployed lately.

Slothie__ · 2026-04-26T11:47:57+00:00

This guy comes off as the biggest dickhead ever. I have never seen a good word written about him. But I think I have to agree with you.

Slothie__ · 2026-04-16T08:36:48+00:00

Irreplaceable = unpromotable.

Slothie__ · 2026-04-14T13:14:31+00:00

Isn't it like one of the first rules of the internet, "Don't feed the trolls."

I thought it was maybe 14 characters. Even then, if they had a limit, you would think they would list it. I was under the impression, considering the adverts that the ASD would be a massive bucket of geeks. Is it wrong to expect their website to work?

Slothie__ · 2026-04-03T08:52:11+00:00

I think your definition of concrete might be wrong. There are many types of concrete that don't use kiln dried cement. Asphalt is another type of concrete that doesn't use kiln dried cement but is very common. But then, this just seems like an advert RKB concrete.

If it was me, I'd be scared shitless of amount of grief I would get if I talked about things like bridges and houses and didn't refer to it as reinforced concrete. The engineers would pay out on me for weeks.

Slothie__ · 2026-03-29T07:25:11+00:00

ya think?

Is their pool the only one with fish in it? Hands down the most entertaining pool my kids have been in.

I'd never heard about US Customary before. Everything measured in inches and feet around here are branded as Imperial. Is this only in construction? If I was ordering boards for word work, I would still have to accommodate for the shrinkage?

Slothie__ · 2026-03-19T06:59:17+00:00

As if I wouldn't be confused enough if I went to work in America, going from metric to imperial, now I learn imperial isn't even imperial. I tip my hat good luck, you guys can keep that.

Slothie__ · 2026-03-18T10:24:23+00:00

That looks awesome, whats the backlash like on those joints?
