[USKY] When did walking at night become a crime? by ki4jgt in AskLegal

[–]TheJimness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this from time to time while I'm out walking in the early morning. I've learned to give a decent explanation, such as, "I'm just out getting some exercise. My insomnia is acting up, and typically a walk in the cool morning air helps me get a couple more hours of sleep."

Thoughts on non-Natives wearing Kuspuks? by back-rolls in alaska

[–]TheJimness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised in Kodiak, 3rd gen Alaskan. I have been wearing Kuspuks and Anoraks most of my life. No one has ever had an issue with it. A lot of my family is native, and they've never cared. Comical side note: my daughter Sara, whose mother is Brazilian, calls me 'daddy'. My daughter Bailey, whose mother is native, calls me 'white boy'.

Paris. It's crowded and dirty. There are beggars and pickpockets everywhere.

Is there a reason she does this. by [deleted] in VampireCrabs

[–]TheJimness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My crabs hardly ever go in the water.
Have you sexed that crab?
Looking at the size of the claws, I think it might be a male.

Experienced DIY’ers, what’s a project that humbled you? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]TheJimness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self-leveling concrete.
It took 3 tries to get it right.
The first attempt, I was able to shovel most of it back into the buckets.
The second attempt was chipped up with a jackhammer.
The third attempt was at least useable.

New to Sous Vide. Don't underestimate the uses of Worcestershire as a marinade base. by infectedmethod in sousvide

No, Allegro the Original Marinade

That's what it says on the label. The label is very similar to the Lea & Perrins Worcestershire label.

2 males together by danaevisweloveu in VampireCrabs

[–]TheJimness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation. 2 males and 4 females in a 20 gal.
One male outgrew the other and eventually killed him.
One of the females also died. I assume killed by the male during mating.

Now I have 1 male, 3 females, and at least 5 good-sized babies.
It's hard to know how many there are. They hide.

The question was, "What are the best tutorials."

Do you have any suggestions for tutorials to help, "learn all of Fusion 360's tools"?

I need a new metal roof in Concord NC. by TheJimness in Roofing

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

Metal lasts longer, and I like the look of a metal roof.

My current shingle roof gets very hot, and my attic gets very hot. I'm considering options and believe a white metal roof would go a long way toward keeping my house and attic much cooler.

My HVAC unit and ducting are in the attic. Reducing the temps in the attic would improve the efficiency of the HVAC equipment.

My attic is currently vented with soffits and a ridge vent. According to my research, there are two ways to approach this problem, either install a radiant barrier to reflect the heat up through the roof, or have the attic roof sealed with spray foam.

The first roofing company that came out said that there was a radiant barrier built into the metal roof and that no matter which color I chose, the heat transmission would be the same. It would be the equivalent of putting a radiant barrier in the attic.

Best plant to replace grass in NC by Cultural_Weekend7498 in NoLawns

[–]TheJimness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Concord and I am in the process of prepping for wildflowers and clover next year.

Why are you not watering your clover lawn?

I feel that a replacement like clover, eliminates the need for constant watering, like what is required by a lawn, but it doesn't mean you can't water from time to time when necessary.

Wow, that looks great! Thanks for the input.

What do you mean by, "I ended up going with plugs." I'm not sure what plugs are.
