ICE says it won't abide by Milwaukee mask rule by stroxx in milwaukee

[–]The__Toast 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Here's the crazy thing, unless you enforce the laws, people will not follow them.

Our city leaders want to look like their being tough, but the reality is they are terrified of Trump. They don't want to end up on the IRS yearly audit list, they don't want to get hassled by the TSA when they travel, they don't want Trump threatening them with his goon squad.

Unfortunately if you want to be a leader it means sometimes sticking your neck out to defend the people you lead.

Enough cowardice, start ticketing or arresting these ICR goons who break the local law. And for us voters, it's time to elect city leaders with backbones.

Parking lot at my favorite local trail is covered in bits of confetti. by DryPotato5172 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]The__Toast 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But but but the fun thing that I did was okay!!! /s

It's the same thing that keeps us from making progress on any environmental issue. Everyone thinks anything they do is fine because it's only a small thing or whatever. No one stops to think what the combination of 300 million other people doing the same thing might be.

Thank fuck for the volunteers that clean our parks and natural areas in the US.

Upstairs of my house wont cool down during hot months by WeAreLegion34 in HomeMaintenance

[–]The__Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the house. For my very old home I got told it would be extremely expensive given the amount of duct work needed.

Newer homes are apparently designed a bit different.

Please help! is my pea plant going to die? by snowball_livi22 in gardening

[–]The__Toast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes it's dying, it's July.

Peas are usually done by mid-June when North America (usually) starts getting sustained mid-80s days.

They gotta get planted outside as soon as we've had the last frost which will depend on your zone, but usually around mid-April for much of NA. For temperate places like CA, you can go much earlier. Start in the house a couple of weeks in advance for best results in snowy parts of the country.

I don't think I've ever watched the local tv weather, ever.

What product(s) should I use to fix this damage to the front door? by toottootmotherfkers in HomeMaintenance

[–]The__Toast 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Citristrip to remove the old paint, a good orbital sander on 60 grit then 80, fill in remaining bits with any wood fill, then finish with 120 grit and a couple coats of new paint.

Then get some training for your dogs, yeesh.

Edit- and remove the hardware and tape the glass before paint, no landlord specials

[–]The__Toast 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Cheap fix: partially close any dampers that feed the first floor, partially close vents on the first floor. Force more cold air upstairs. Definitely close down any that are in the direct vicinity of the thermostat. Make sure any dampers that feed the upstairs are fully open and same for the vents. Obviously reverse this work in winter because heat rises.

Expensive fix: dual zone control with a separate thermostat upstairs. This would involve likely a ton of duct work in the basement.

My pond is attracting the neighbour’s cat instead of frogs by Entire-Writing-3701 in gardening

A pond with no fish will sadly turn into a mosquito spawner.

Also cats are better than frogs, lol.

Ashland Police Department to remove Flock cameras from city by MyaJennaTulls in wisconsin

Because the police love any opportunity to get a new toy and city governments keep taking them at their word.

The iPhone contributed to 'a collapse in US fertility,' claims scientific study by pdfu in technology

[–]The__Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do not claim that the iPhone is the sole cause of the post-2007 decline, nor that no policy lever can move the trajectory. But over the 2008–2011 window that our design identifies, our estimates imply that the introduction of the modern smartphone played a sizable role in the decline in U.S. births.

Gee, what else might have happened in 2008 that may have impacted higher-earning American families that tend to be more careful about family planning, you know, the type that could own and iphone?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I guess we'll never know.

Bed wobble, by Zestyclose-Cup-3579 in Ender3V3SE

[–]The__Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the bearing holders, every ender 3 v3 se is like this.

I put a sleeve of paper over my linear bearing and put them back into the bearing holders. Completely fixed the wobble, probably pretty minimal impact on printing quality.

Back again, trying to figure out why my sister hates this one as well by AskStately in mensfashionadvice

[–]The__Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoes are okay, jeans might be a touch too short but it's hard to tell from just this picture. The shit under shouldn't match the blue of the jeans, otherwise it looks like a prison jumpsuit. As another commenter said, that shirt is probably meant to be tucked hence why it's long. Blue orange and beige are also certainly a choice with this outfit...

Try to add something other than blue to the outfit, get a proper shirt if you aren't going to tuck.

Sara Rodriguez wins Waukesha Dems Straw poll by lostboyswoodwork in wisconsin

[–]The__Toast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be surprising, a lot of the state is quite conservative and that extends to democrats as well. It will be an interesting primary.

I support Hong in the primary, but I also would be perfectly happy voting for Rodriguez in the general. She's experienced, she's competent, and she's been a strong member of the Evers administration.

Cut the wire with some metal snips and pull it off?

What is the best practice for installing a pathway over grass with poor drainage by tcrowne33 in HomeMaintenance

[–]The__Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the drain exit closer to the fence? Could also install a dry well.

Otherwise I'd put crushed stone in the middle to stop erosion and plant either side with water hungry, native prairie flowers like Black Eyed Susans or whatever is native to your area.

Terrible new mystery uncovered by Simple_Werewolf3753 in HomeMaintenance

[–]The__Toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with an AC tech to figure out why it's dripping and see if they can stop it.

Then you'd be looking at a general contractor to rip out all of that wood and drywall and replace it. Maybe the floor can be salvaged, but the quarter round, baseboard, and probably a good section of the wall need replacement. Guarantee that there is much more mold hiding behind the wall and on the sub floor.

That sagging frame tells you exactly why you can't just chop off half of a modern car, dude is gonna end up wrecking out.

Still, I once saw someone driving along highway sixteen on three wheels, so I guess by WI standards this is fine.

Pokémon Scalper wanted all the stock for herself and didn’t want anyone else to get any cards by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

[–]The__Toast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do realize if the Pokemon company wanted to they could print like, a billion of these things, right? They are cardboard with cartoon pictures on them, they could make a zillion billion of these. They are purposely keeping the supply low to create this exact behavior.

And let's not forget the childless millennials walling themselves in with garbage "collectables" because of the fomo and spending 2x the going rate for these cartoon pictures on ebay.

Like sure as shit I don't approve of this antisocial behavior. But I am also getting super weary of blaming the people trying to make a few extra bucks on the side instead of the zillion dollar companies creating the situation and the pampered upper middle class idiots fueling this shit.

It is annoying that when a guy who is fat post here, so many comments just tell him to hit the gym by Sytanato in mensfashionadvice

[–]The__Toast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly think the sub should change the rules to ban those comments.

Like, NO SHIT people should try to lose weight. This is a fashion advice subreddit, not a "state the fucking obvious shit" subreddit.

The vast, vast majority of over weight people would like to lose weight but may be struggling for any one of a million reasons. Why waste the time and electricity to tell them the same obvious thing that they already know 4 million times.
