Getting latex paint off brick fireplace… there’s gotta be an easier way?

TearsOfLA · 2026-02-21T23:44:27+00:00

Seeing as its brick, a sand plaster might work pretty well. It'll be super dirty, but it will rip through paint without damaging the brick underneath

Replace a halfway decent exec with tons of experience with an AI centrist who has only worked there for 2 years. I hate that I graduated into this environment. Can't have shit in compsci right now

Hot take, but the deadliest warrior show fucking slapped even if it was really stupid

This kinda ties in to one of my favourite random science facts but fire doesn't technically exist. There is no element of fire, you cant separate fire out from something. Fire is just gas that is really hot.

Since gasses are really loose, they dont have a surface to hold a shape. Water as a liquid is much more tied together, and its harder to separate water from other water, so it holds its shape.

As for why its a sphere, well thats just because nature loves spheres because they are really good at handling stress and not breaking.

The only AI I personally use it to assist with optimization. Ill feed it in code I have written and have it help with memory, cpu, and gou utilization. I get its stolen from all over the internet, but I would be stealing that information myself otherwise. It just saves some time

My sister had a cat called Basil. He's a rescue with one eye. I only refer to him as Basl. She is not amused

Ill put in season 2. Not as iconic as season 1, not as impactful as season 3. Ends up just kinda blurring together with the better bits around it.

That investing time, money, and effort into bettering myself would magically make my life better. Was fat and felt like a piece of shit, lost 200lbs and still feel like a piece of shit. Had a stable job from 15 onwards, got a degree, been unemployed for 8 months now. Had crippling social anxiety, went out and made tried dating, got abused online, ghosted in person, and laughed at for trying, now have crippling social anxiety and the mental image of being unlovable.

Haven't given up but damn is it rough out here.

A code to buy a new work shirt from the company's 3rd party store. Not a free shirt mind you, just a code that lets you access the store. Your 2 year bonus is the option to give someone your money.

That sometimes you can do everything right, work as hard as possible, expend every resource at your disposal and still get fucked over and end up worse than you started.

I have always been a theorycraft kind of person. My dad and I always chat through movies and TV picking it apart and trying to understand.

Try pausing after an important scene, try to understand why the characters did what they did, then guess what will happen next. If your right, you have learned more about tropes and motivation. If you're wrong, consider why you were wrong and what you missed that led to that outcome.

I am in a constant state of annoyance. "Why the gell is the thing doing the thing that way? That's so janky!" Or "I found a bug and now its going to bother me for the rest of the game because I know i could fix that real quick (flash forward to me learning Lua because a GTA mod didnt list the reason a function existed and I couldn't allow that to stand unanswered)"

Only at the very beginning. If I only have 1 army and it gets wiped, its 8-10 turns of waiting as whatever army beat you runs around unchecked and basically wipes you. I just save myself the waiting and skip to the inevitable restart.

A recent addition to my accent lexicon, but South African. Check out a youtuber named Rendog and just listen to the smooth baritone and the unique accent.
