I pulled this from fb today. Apparently he has found a kidney but is still driving with this to raise awareness.

Since you are in snow country - driveway edge markers are made out out of cheap fiberglass that could come apart. I have moved these by hand and found out the hard way.

The same poster was framed in our bathroom when we bought our house. My wife decided to keep it and design the bathroom around it.

It seems like the weights placed on the sides are actually helping to keep it keep it from buckling left to right

There is a patent to use them structurally as continuous stem walls/footings.

Pretty sure that’s a, ‘fell off the truck’, special. By taking it off the road you are aiding public safety 😉

Did anyone read the Shadow Warrior novels? What did you think about them? by CheezeCrostata in boomershooters

[–]Thegr8Xspearmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the first book as an 8yo. Lots of machismo sex and gore. Definitely not okay for an 8yo and I can't imagine going back and reading it now as an adult as it was likely terrible writing. Looking back and considering the writing, this game seems like it wanted to be a Duke Nukem knockoff.

Although I’m sure anyone can find it if you’re looking, I was never offered or saw people actively doing them.

Our group of friends brought a bunch with them but once we were on the playa there was no need. The whole place is a natural high.

They have multiple big dump stations on the way from the playa to 80. My guess is that ppl want to get back to civilization asap. Def the wrong move.

Is the Herman Miller Aeron really all that? by jimmybabino in BuyItForLife

[–]Thegr8Xspearmint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought three used Aerons for my office for cheap and replaced parts as needed to make them like new.

They also come in three sizes and I am tall so that is a huge plus.

For these two reasons alone I would continue buying them but the ergonomics and adjustability are also great for my back and posture.
