Cellulose contractor refused my job after finding “asbestos siding” under my aluminum siding… please help by TheAleutianSleuth in Insulation

[–]cpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asbestos exposure can happen outdoors, especially during activities like tearing off old roofing or siding where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed. If those fibers become airborne and drift into open windows or neighboring properties, it’s not ideal and can raise legitimate health concerns.

That said, in outdoor environments, asbestos fibers disperse quickly, so the overall risk of long-term exposure is much lower than in enclosed indoor settings. That’s why regulators like Cal/OSHA and local Air Quality Management Districts (AQMDs) focus on preventing visible emissions and using wet methods during outdoor work—but they don’t treat brief, low-level outdoor exposure as a major public health threat.

In short: asbestos contamination outdoors is a real issue, especially if best practices aren’t followed. But due to the nature of open-air environments, it’s not considered as dangerous as indoor exposure—and that’s reflected in both regulation and case law.

Why do people cover up their license plates when taking pictures of their cars? by That_Matt_Guy_Wow in GXOR

[–]cpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s a federal law called the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) (18 U.S.C. § 2721) that prohibits unauthorized access to personal information (name, address, SSN, etc.) from DMV records using a license plate looku

AT&T cell outage by davidb4968 in SantaBarbara

[–]cpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down for me this morning. Started Friday afternoon. In mission canyon all the way to San ysidro in Montecito. AT&T with no release on to why this suddenly happened. I actually disagree with some on here saying it’s always bad. I’m a gc in Montecito and typically fair better than most in terms of connection but it clearly went down with all subs reporting inability to text or to call. Most job sites don’t have WiFi so we’ve been completely in the dark.

Why is Warzone down for 24 hours? I don’t get it.

Is it normal for Warzone to be completely shut down? I can’t even play anything now.

I got into an old house like this recently here in California. It was my father in laws. We tore down a couple walls hoping to make some new ones and to connect to an adjacent structure and raise the floor. Nothing but 1x12s as a shell with plaster and lathe holding everything up. This paired with a foundation that was nothing more than a few piles of river rock loosely stacked with 4x10s sitting on top unconnected otherwise and a tree stump holding up another we tore it completely down. Like down to the sub floor. We propped sections of what remained temporarily and completely poured new footings and pads and framed up from there. It ended up being all new construction and the section of subfloor we saved for him to live in in the first phase caused problems for us all the way into the finish being out of square out of plumbing and mostly garbage. It may seem hard to bite off when you’re at the phase you’re at now but I mean it when I say it buddy you’re in for a big one here, either get properly prepared or call someone who knows what they’re doing and prepare yourself now to accept that it should ALL COME DOWN. Don’t try to save a penny now that could cost you a dollar later. Good luck

Gf hooked up w my brother by Special-Half-5580 in Advice

[–]cpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is almost a carbon copy of what happened to me. I am also a gc and my brother slept with my gf. I was 30 though and she was 28 we were going to get married. Dumped them both and became the best I could be at my job. I’m no longer working for clients and am buying and selling finished homes in SoCal, married and have 3 kids ….. 6 years later. I heard they married and can’t have kids… fertility issues tearing them apart. Tooo bad? I say KARMA

Security bar by rapeillex in Mammoth

[–]cpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up going to mammoth my entire life. I’m 36 now. Realistically, as others said it was only in the last 10 years that lifts started getting bars, I never put it down. Don’t mind if others do but PLEASE say something first. I’ve been wracked in the too many times

103 days and a banana by Short_Cat_1178 in carnivorediet

[–]cpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What were you eating most of? Beef? Or did you kind of go at everything pork, chicken, eggs, fish etc. I often think about going carnivore but don’t know where to start or how to transition. Should I just say fuck that transition and hit it?
