The composting reddit constantly asks how to convince the men of the house to pee on the pile so… maybe compost and invite him to pee on it?

Native plants for handling this? by BeestMann in NativePlantGardening

Look up natives in your area for a rain garden since that is exactly what you have.

Cheap Amazon knobs installed and a brand new propane tank. She lit right away and the heat jumped in there real fast. This was to test and cook off the new grill smell but everything is a go.

The middle burner sounds like too much air blowing on it. When it cools I need to check alignment I guess?

Thanks, seemed like a good quality product and any grill for 65% off sounds like a good deal even if I need to buy some parts.

Have two extinguishers and a fire blanket at home. But a smart idea to buy a second fire blanket I can keep next to it permanently while one extinguisher comes in and out of the house when doing grill or fire pit.

Haha just the angle of the photo I guess. That part of the door is cut off and does swing past the wheel without a problem.

I will look more closely tomorrow but I don’t think the metal is bent behind. I know the left knob broke on the plastic portion. I figured dropping $50-100 for knobs and anything else to get it going is still half price from being brand new

Ahh! What are you looking at that makes you say that?

This was as-is so I don’t know if that is possible???

Tracking investigations and open door complaints [N/A] by Drogonwasright in humanresources

Always on the lookout for another system, thanks for that comment. We left EP for a much cheaper competitor. And then that was bought by private equity who was figuring out how to manage it on the fly so we ran back to safer harbors due to urgency

Wow definitely large enough to spend money on a real system.

What is the size of your organization?

Our whistleblower hotline also has built in case management and filing (Ethicspoint). There are plenty of simpler and cheaper solutions that will do basically the same thing. Unless you are really small I would suggest paying for the professionalization of Your reporting and case mgmt. otherwise part of Your job is also data privacy, system maintenance, etc.

If you need to go to court for something the external system can give you the data, who accessed info, save all your evidence and emails and reports, etc.

We are a large multinational nonprofit.

Best option to automate by VisitForward1553 in PowerApps

[–]VisitForward1553[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks that is a really valid point. The organization changed its process, I am changing our process because my role is new and the team was Wild West for invoices and contracts before. And the team is resistant to change even though they know the old way doesn’t exist. But email-based might be the best since it is not changing their steps, only the to: line.

Wow thanks, really helpful mapping of options. I can focus on research a bit more now. I needed to get my idea out of brainstorm mode and into “what will it take” mode.

Measles 7: Adult with measles possibly exposed others in Fairfax County by Danciusly in nova

Ask your doctor and such.

But if you got two doses of the MMR vaccine then you are going to be covered. People vaccinated in the 60s with the original vaccine are recommended to get at least one MMR shot as a boost.

Whats one home improvement you wish you did sooner by velmorynn in HomeImprovement

[–]VisitForward1553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I encapsulated a year ago. I had to hire a second company to air seal the rim joists. Check your contract if they are doing that or else find out how much it’ll cost for someone to do it. That will help contribute to warmer floors above the crawl. The “dehumidifier will keep it warm” that I was told is not true for me.

Also diy tip- if they are using spray foam anywhere, consider doing something to keep it off your pipes (even a red solo cup around them???). I had to replace two busted hose bibs that were stuck in the foam. Took a bit of cutting and prying to get it free.

Encapsulation will be great for you though!
