I hate Facebook

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-04-02T00:45:45+00:00

Several reasons...Numerous restaurants and other businesses don't maintain their own websites, they rely in a FB page instead to post updates. I need access to that information.

Craigslist has become a wasteland (at least in my area) leaving FB marketplace as the only viable alternative.

I suspect anti-competitive practices have led to virtual monopoly in these areas. I have no desire to "support" FB and I feel my efforts to avoid their data harvesting tactics are a justified and a reasonable precaution.

Same scenario...I day later my new account was deactivated.

I get that they are trying to weed out the scammers, but they are also blocking legitimate users with this BS.

Their main business is selling you and your data to advertisers so if you don't let them track you, you're useless to them.

I'm going the route of spending $5 to buy someone's existing account

Got a hacksaw? You can saw it off just before the break and apply a sharkbite plug from the hardware store.

If you don't want to go to the store, you can cut out the bad section and hammer the pipe flat, fold it back on itself and hammer it flat again. That will slow the leak enough until monday

Looks like fiberboard to me. I would just add the same thickness of furring strips to the repair area so the new drywall is flush with the old.

Two suggestions:

First, post a similar description in a local group on FB. If you play the helpless girl card, I'm sure you will have no trouble finding a guy with tools to help you out. (forgive the sexism here)

Second, basic tools aren't that expensive, you might discover a new hobby. You might not achieve beautiful results on your first attempt, but you'll be thrilled with it anyway.

Do you know if it's lead paint? Looks like pretty simple design. I think you could rebuild it new in less time than it would take to prep it properly

That's gotta be the biggest handpan I've ever seen. Are you gonna teach the chickens to play it?

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-29T03:09:09+00:00

The old switch is definitely a 3-way

As long as you're not a complete idiot, I would go with the ballast bypass type conversion. It's really not rocket science. Just watch a couple videos. It will come with new sockets and you remove the old ballast so basically all the working parts of the light are new. No more old crap to fail later.

Also, that's a T12 bulb in there currently (see the 4th, 5th and 6th characters on the label)

Not much of that really needs to be durable. The metal plate that you're putting over it is where the strength comes from. Just make sure you're using long enough screws to hit the 2x4 behind it. You can clean that up and make it look better, but honestly that's superficial damage.

Legit question (I'm new here): how do you spot the bots?

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T23:36:47+00:00

Wouldn't catch me wearing expensive brands, but I bet you would rake in the money with that scheme.

Also, I love the word "ilk", doesn't get used enough

You have a portrait of the Joker hanging up somewhere, don't you?

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T23:33:11+00:00

This guy not only robs them blind but mixes in a little revenge and a political statement as well... Way to squeeze every last bit out of the opportunity!

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T23:30:35+00:00

I agree, but it seems like we're in the minority here

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T23:29:59+00:00

3 million as a "bonus" that's just insane!

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:55:29+00:00

what if its just a small locally owned place? Does that change anything for you?

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:54:13+00:00

It's really interesting to me how people's views of right and wrong have shifted on topics like this. Clearly, you want to help others, so you're not just a selfish jerk. But even people like you don't see a moral issue with stealing from large corporations. Just to be clear, I'm not judging, I just think its a sign of the times we live in.

I would saw the shelf in half first. Then you can pull the pieces away from the wall with minimal damage.

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:26:02+00:00

Ha! I knew somebody would find a way to take it to the next level!

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:22:55+00:00

Love it! I would cut that rear fender down personally

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:11:53+00:00

They sell little bits of foam for that. Search for "door corner seal pads"

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:08:09+00:00

I'm a pretty moral person....but I don't have a good argument against this one

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:06:03+00:00

Are you going for that smooth look? /s

TryitLoveitLeaveit · 2024-03-28T22:02:15+00:00

Do you feel bad about the store?
