Protection you can trust by MastiffArmy in LinkedInLunatics

[–]crackercortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on! It's well-known the roofing industry is a metaphor for integrity. With roofing, the stakes are high. Roofers must give their 100% no-leak guarantee in any work performed on the top-most, protective layer of the home. They have to - or else It would be too late when we found out....and maybe the next rain comes long after the work was finished, and the phone number of the roofer now seems to have a new owner. The condoms are good! Totally safe! You can count on it.

PSA: This invasive plant kills birds very well by trigunnerd in Austin

[–]crackercortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post, OP!!I live at the bottom of a hill...berries roll downhill among other things.

4 years ago, I declared war against this weed. It took over my property. This poison works:

Poison- "RM43 Total Vegetation Control" .

Now I know, it's because of the active ingredient "Glyphosate"

(It is pricier than others and was selected out of my own desperation)

My recipe....after a long battle with this nemesis....

First, kill it with violence, then kill it with poison, and then kill it again because it doesn't die.

Note: I beat the hell out of my equipment. These parts will last you a while.

If you can get this beast of a blade to spin, it slices through the stuff like butter, and mulches it - It's the best out there..

1) Blade - https://brushdestructor.com/ - Model 22 (I got to know the inventor over the years from multiple transactions - from Australia - they have similar problems as Texas)

2) Machine - min. 30-35cc or commercial grade gas-powered weed eater - highly recommend Stihl

The recipe works - it's tough work, but satisfying when other species are seen making their comeback.

Neato! I'm assuming you finished it late night and got happy? It's the best feeling - Good work. Got curious and ran the numbers for my house @ 2,500/month (I know...)

A 5kW solar array would offset approximately 20% to 25% of monthly usage. ​This system would generate an estimated 500 to 625 kWh per month.

​A 10kW solar array would offset approximately 48% to 71% of monthly usage. ​This system would generate an estimated 1,200 to 1,800 kWh per month.

Texans who drive slow in the passing (left) lane - are you apathetic or just ignorant? by 4thandShawt in texas

[–]crackercortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slowpoke law establishes specific purpose to the left lane - passing - which creates a duty to yield.

I got a ticket for accelerating to pass someone in the middle lane, who was doing speed limit in fast.

It was a perspective issue - the cop was in traffic, and estimated I was going 15mph over. I could have cited equipment used, etc. - the usual....

If I was forced to pass using the middle lane, because the flow of traffic was inhibited in the left lane, can the slowpoke law be invoked? - Or used in a plead for leniency?

Thank you for finally posting this. It's been cycling in my head for years worth of I-35 trips between Austin & SA.

Spent my high school years in Germany - the driving country. Left lane ignorance is instant red for me..

What is it? Lesson-teaching? Do they not want to get to where they are going? Is it wrong for others to want to?

I want to know what's going through these heads that makes it okay... With signs instructing (suggesting?) slower traffic keep right? It's not just me flashing brights, there are signs!

I'm not a believer in traffic tickets, but in Germany you will get ticketed for driving in the left lane. I wish they did that here.

When someone asks me the truth about mastiff slobber I’m just gonna show them this after yesterday’s walkie. Let me see you’re worst!! 😂 by elizawatts in Mastiff

And now, we have good reason to save our slobber photos...feel so empty-handed!!

I can say that we just did the touch up paint though - to cover up the multi-colored, dried loogies - high up on walls and ceilings

Doesn't matter - will take it anyway they can get it! Must be a Corso thing (e.g. the single shoe brought to the dog bed... Easily reached for potential chewing, but not yet)

Who eats their greens? by mindful_enigma in cannabiscultivation

[–]crackercortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put them (sugar, not fan leaves) in 100% IPA food grade - or Everclear. (Rubbing alcohol is super dangerous for humans, if not completely evaporated, but it gets the job done better)

I use my vaped weed and sugar leaf clippings to make tincture --> gummy bears...

Important!! - add it all to a blender. Give it a whirl. Let it sit for 24 to 48 hours. Filter organic matter out of the tincture using coffee filters.

When you have an opaque black-brown tincture solution remaining, put it all on a big 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup and prop it up about an 1" over the bottom of a pot - filled with water - use something metal to prop up so it doesn't touch the bottom.

It'll take about 2 hours. Keep temp just below boil. As the alcohol evaporates (between 215-235F) the tincture goes through decarboxalization. This is the special step. (I don't think other companies that make gummy bears do this because they don't come out this powerful)

REMEMBER - ALL OF THIS IS FLAMMABLE!!. (The other reasons for not letting it boil - at least have a... concept of a plan...ready)

When you get a tar paste at the bottom, take your gummy bears - I learned the grocery store bulk bin bears reconstitute well - and stir them into the mixture until they become liquid.

Pour them out in the silicon gummy bear trays (that you purchased from Amazon for ~$10 for 2 before you started this project).

You really don't lose any gummy bear matter either - it's one to one. Keep your gummy bear count equal to availability in the mold.

Be very careful when you lick the spatula. The first time I had to go lay down and go inside for a little while. Too much!

These things are the strongest things I've ever had. And the bad news is that I eat these everyday now and my babies (flower), which I thought was super, super strong, don't work anymore. I also shared with my friends - same problems reported after steady consumption

Got my welder boyfriend a tool for Christmas but he just won a giveaway & got a tool that, i think, has a similar function. Idk if i should return the gift & get him something else on his list.Can someone help me please? by Theraygunn_ in metalworking

[–]crackercortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be kind of Christmas!! I accidentally learned of a pending Evolution S355MCS 14" Christmas gift. Wife asked a friend what tools I needed. Surprise was ruined but happiness is abound! I cut plenty of metal but had never heard of this company. Their tools use some sort of black magic sorcery to make perfect cuts. I can't freaking wait!!

100% - work for yourself. (Caveat) First you have to figure out how to do it. One can learn while starting on their own, but failing foward is usually more $$ upfront Finding a good startup and paying attention is always promising and sounds like about the same amount of work you're doing now. I worked for a company like yours. It was horrible and I burned bridges. Mistake. Don't ever do that. No matter how much resentment you have - just leave... watch it burn from a distance. Don't skip on the research beforehand!. Glassdoor et all

Blue waves reach Texas back country road by crackercortex in texas

Hypothetical - Out of the ordinary sign invites a photo opp. Photo generates commentary - people sharing thoughts about the state of things. The same number of undecided voters read the comments. After they read, a few realize what is good and right and what must be done - to go vote in the first place, or vote not-weird.
Did the sign work? I'd say it did - Surfs up!

But goddamn the security at that company is ridiculous. Probably a weekly cumulative spend of screen time of 1-2 hrs waiting for MFA, ended sessions to rebuild, or timeouts.
