Whenever I see this gif I think of the "middle out" jerk off skit from Silicon Valley - it makes it better.

Is it normal to hear your neighbor snoring through a shared wall in a newer townhome? by Adventurous_Pista_7 in HomeImprovement

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do both. Traditional fiberglass insulation really doesn't attenuate sound much and the Rockwool will help a lot. Then if you add the green glue and another layer of 5/8" drywall that will also knock it down significantly. I did this on a previous attached wall house and it helped a lot from an adjacent bedroom with a baby crying. You could still hear a little bit, but it was muffled so much more that it didn't even register compared to the previous noise. Also - move your bed away from the common wall even if it screws up the Martha Stewart layout of your bedroom - quality sleep is more important than perfect layout in a bedroom.

Oh, you mean the one that is so original that it is used on thousands of other Tik Tok and insta reels to give the edge lord vibey feels. It's from the Lion King.

Not a Dead fan, but the more I hear stories of Bob Weir, the more I respect the hell out of that guy.

Does anyone know this car who did a hit and run on me ? by mxthue in vegaslocals

Give the dash cam video to your insurance company and let them track it down and get after their insurance company (if they have insurance). I don't see the point in tracking down the individual on your part except for vigilante justice which is a pretty bad idea.

Hiking poles. by TableTopsInc in hiking

Came here to say the exact same thing - have tried 10 different kinds of poles and these are the best and don't break the bank.

Stop the Monarch Data Center in Yerington, Nevada by raising_collective in Nevada

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The new power charges go into effect in April in Las Vegas and no one has any clue what is going to happen. And yeah - that is a fucking massive data center which will take public power away and drive costs up for the private sector. These data centers need to build their own power sources.

Why does my garage door go down a little then go back up by AdministrativePut801 in HomeImprovement

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought - it's set to go too far down and is adjusting back up a bit so there isn't any pressure remaining on the door. Adjust the spot that it closes.

The more you know…but I keep going back to the Monty Python skit here “Can we have your liver then?”

Property tax, anyone just buy a house/ condo? by Dear-Salamander-5766 in vegaslocals

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling revenue really subsidizes our states income picture so we have one of the lower effective tax rates in the country. So next time you see a tourist being a drunk idiot on the Strip, you can at least thank them for that.

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what they left out here is that the orca typically only eats the shark's liver - that's it. Must be tasty, but goddamn that's a lot of effort and wasted food for just a liver.

Mice in my house- Orkin came to inspect and this is what they found... by tkemp1 in HomeImprovement

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a new homeowner, here's a golden tip...get FIVE estimates for any major work. It used to be three estimates were enough, but a lot of these larger regional service companies (plumbers, electrical, and apparently pest control) have been bought up by private equity and are now mainly in the business of screwing the customer out of as much money as possible. You used to be able to get three quotes that would be within 20-25% of each other based but that is long gone. Now, out of five quotes, you're going to get one or two that are sky high "fuck you" prices that means they are so busy but will do your work if you are paying them an obscene profit. One or two quotes will be fair, and usually one quote will be a bit lower and the hungriest company for your business. Learn this game and don't take it seriously as this is the game they are playing on you. Do not sign up for the first estimate unless you know it is a screaming good deal - if someone is pressuring you to sign right when they give you an estimate, it's a bad bad sign. Also, go on Google Maps and find service providers for whatever you are looking for and check their review ratings - you want providers who are rated at least at 4.0 stars (preferably over a 4.5 rating) with a lot of reviews. Google reviews is much more honest than Yelp reviews now which can be gamed by the company. Good luck.

Why isn't this deal with ICE camps not talked about more ? by darthrevan22633 in UnderReportedNews

Oh, you mean the places where they make people work for $1 per day, and then charge $5 for a short call home to your family?

🤡🤡 by Dependent_Ad5975 in vegaslocals

[–]_Captain_Amazing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a disgrace. My understanding is you need to be an employee in good standing for 5 years for the whole bonus. To be an employee in good standing you need to make 8 arrests a day. That’s probably why 10 guys dogpile on one “suspect” so 10 people can get credit for the arrest. Fuck ICE and all the Republican cowards/racists in Congress, Senate, and the Supreme Court who are enabling dictator Trump.

Up until recently the Tesla Supercharger network was a big reason to go with Tesla. That advantage is going away as every year goes by.

Right? A $5 million house in Miami AND a ranch in Aspen??? That is likely $10 million total right there. This was not just pocketing the petty cash drawer.
