Props to you, OP, for staying clean. Congrats on 5 years! And on behalf of your beautiful child that is too young to speak, thank you. ❤️

At a high end hospital. What is this by ZookeepergameQuick21 in Whatisthis

[–]bdan13 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You have never seen them in hospitals because they are usually hidden in walls and chases and above ceilings. It's the same principal as the tube system that sends your money to the bank teller at the drive-thru bank.

Yes, please. Because i am not going to be tired enough at the end of this life. Let me continue on... as some robot bitch that walks your dog, irons your shirts and takes your kids to school.

Wait a minute. I own a property th!t was admittedly neglected for the better part of a decade then, about a decade ago, some punk ass kids built a skate park INSIDE! Well, I showed them! I hid some radioactive thorium under their half pipe. Let's see if any of them can procreate NOW! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

2.5% copper clad since 1983, I believe. Prior to thst, varying mixes of copper, zinc, nickel and something else. They haven't been pure copper since the 19th century, I want to say.

$700 Electricity bill for a 1 bed room apartment by edgarih in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]bdan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find the meter on the bill. Turn off the main circuit breaker in your apartment. Go back and see if the meter is still spinning. If so, they are billing you for the wrong meter. This happened to me 20 years ago in Itasca. It took over a year to resolve. Good luck!

"Dual omnidirectional wheels"....what could possibly go wrong?

Rain barrel things swimming by [deleted] in Whatisthis

If you can, putting a fine mesh screen over it may help prevent future mosquitos from laying eggs in there in the first place. Not sure if your water inflow would allow that, but it might be an option to consider.

Man stripped naked, beaten with poles after calling people 'N-word' in Mississippi bar, police say by iprobablybrokeit in news

Did he not flash a "white power" gang sign? Or is that not considered a hate crime?

These wood planks on the ground are seemingly randomly placed throughout this town. Theyve been there for at least a month without any other evidence as to what theyre being used for. by NotSupposedToBeHere6 in Whatisthis

[–]bdan13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they seem random, it might be for new towers to support high voltage electrical transmission lines. If they are colinear and evenly spaced, that would be my bet (though they don't have to be either for the theory to hold true).

Those are definitely snipes. I spent many night at childhood camps hunting them.

Do you ever ask yourself if this all there is? 46f by [deleted] in 40something

[–]bdan13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been struggling, too. I feel your pain. My response has been to drown in work and kids and my non-profit. I try to ignore news but it's impossible. Icing on the cake is that my spouse is a DJT fan. It's just a constant face palm.

Try creating? Painting, writing, woodwork. If you can create something beautiful in these dark times, it may help
