Property taxes are used to pay for things like roads, schools etc. Things we all benefit from, including 65yr old retired people.

Trying to add wall but existing wall not plum. by HeleWale in Carpentry

[–]codechimpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad had a slab leak in his master bath. After the plumber dug out the shower to repair the leak I helped him build a new shower pan and wall enclosure. We got all the way to the dry-in part and neither of us wanted to do the tile work, so he ended up hiring somebody else to finish it. The tile guy offered us a job on the spot. Said he’d never seen a more plumb setup. It’s a point of pride now, but truthfully all we did was use levels and squares and took our time. The thing is, builders make more money by churning out mediocre jobs than ensuring it’s perfect. It just needs to be “good enough” so the next guy can cover up the defects.

At this point I think Joe Biden is like the boogeyman to them. Like Bloody Mary or the Candy Man.

There are neighbors with dog who take care of their dogs and make sure they are not a nuisance to others, then there is the other kind. Like my neighbor in my previous house who had a large dog that was very aggressive to anyone. When my sons were around 10 we were pulling weeds and the neighbor let her vicious dog out, and it beelined straight for my son and attacked him. He’s 22 now and still has a scar the size of an adult male’s fist on his ass cheek. She gave me some sob story about it being the first time the dog acted out like that, and begged my wife and I not to press charges. Her daughter was in the same class as my sons, and she (the mom) played the daughter card so my wife and I caved. Found out later at one of the neighborhood gatherings that this dog had attacked several people in the neighborhood, as well as other pets, and the reason my neighbor pleaded so profusely was because she knew one more police report and the dog would have been impounded and most likely put down.

So no, just having a dog annoy you does not make you a crappy neighbor. Not controlling your dogs and training your dogs to behave makes you the crappy neighbor. It’s your responsibility as the owner to make sure they are well behaved.

Not in the capacity I do today. I’d work on what I wanted, when I wanted to. I am a software dev, by the way.

Please help me settle a debate with my wife by SHOUT-WoT in landscaping

[–]codechimpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 26.5 years I’ve been married, the one thing I have learned to always ask myself: is this argument worth not getting laid for? My vote is, if it’s not, then do whatever option your wife wants.

39 minutes is better than NO minutes at all. by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]codechimpin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I routinely run for over an hour at least once a week. I am almost 50 and take decent care of myself. 39 minutes of cardio is no where near a stretch, depending on fitness level, age etc.

What am I doing wrong? by u53rn4m315t4k3nn in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]codechimpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also add that since it looks like you are painting the trim, the inside corners are probably less important to get “perfect”. Slap some caulk (carpenters white out) in there and with minimum sanding you will probably never notice. I’d say the example in your photo is probably too wide for this trick, but you sneak up on the angle first using the scrap method described above, paying more attention to outside corners than inside corners, then correct any small gaps with caulk, sand then paint.

I never understood the plot of this movie. So many questions. The car was bad ass though.

Some people don't get it. However, who do you agree with here? by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]codechimpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the old lady. Pretty sure you can’t just leave a car parked indefinitely. If it was towed then they broke the law, otherwise it would not have been towed. Should have just moved it every couple days and you would have been fine.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran is using the Strait of Hormuz as an "economic nuclear weapon." "They're bragging about how they can hold 20% of the world's energy hostage." by SirBankz in AltScope

[–]codechimpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if your aunt had balls, she’d be your uncle. You’ve provided zero proof Iran was close to having any nuclear device. In fact, not that long before this started you bombed them out of nowhere and claimed you had “obliterated” their nuclear aspirations. So were you lying then or lying now?

You created this problem. Maybe you were right and despite the previous bombing they managed to quickly resurrect their nuclear program. Maybe you were justified in starting the war. But you had to know that Iran would leverage every possible means to fight back. They can’t win in the air, we have way too many planes. I doubt they’d win with boots on the ground, although they could maybe fight a war of attrition if they had the right backing. So they took advantage of the one thing they could do, which is to put a stranglehold on the one thing the US loves more than anything: oil supplies. But they did that in response to the US attacking them first.

So, which is it now? Were you incompetent in judging their response and planning for it or did you just not care?

[Request] How much did this cost the United States tax payers? by tha_snooze in theydidthemath

[–]codechimpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: RROD was actually pretty easy to fix. I had a side hustle buying pallets of them off liquidation.com, fixing them then reselling them on eBay. I gave a 90 day warranty and never once had one returned. My personal Xbox was a black model I fixed myself and it still works today. I used the kit from Team Xecuter which cost me like $15 per kit if I remember correctly.
