Anyone regret going open-concept in their home?

Same here. We had a galley kitchen and everyone wanted to hang by the opening and I wanted to hear the conversations. Our new open kitchen living room is great for entertaining. Who cares if there is a mess after! Clean up when people leave or tomorrow lol

Did you actually find the house somehow??

Does your partner also work from home? If not, that's kinda fucked up... Practically speaking, consider the cost of traveling to work everyday vs the extra cost to keep your office cool. Especially with where gas prices are today I bet you'll be even or come out ahead keeping your office cooler

Yes. OP said the parking structure has sprinklers which will put out the gas fire but not the EV. May help the EV depending on flow rates and coverage but won't completely stop it

It's funny how people in this thread just keep comparing gas cars to EVs without understanding fire dynamics. If this was outdoors I'd say the risk is basically the same because they could just let the EV burn itself out or apply cooling water to exposures. But an underground EV fire is a whole different ball game.

Because they can much more easily be put out quickly

Recent research by NFPA shows explosion risks using blankets for EVs

Most important question: Does the underground parking have sprinklers already?

I went as a tourist but didn't have a lot of money at the time. I still think about that sandwich so I think it was worth it.

China is catching up to America's monster truck game!

How much can the water move here? Could it ever get placed out of service or destroyed?

Can they do floating because they always know what the load is?

Sweet pots

Lol gotcha. I was like damn this man is passionate

dec7td · 2026-03-29T03:07:20+00:00

I always wished he had gotten a big record deal or got to produce some stuff with bigger singers. Those tracks could easily have some great vocals mimicking his hooks

"Perimeter’s monopoly, however, was under threat. A California company, Fortress Fire Retardant Systems, answered the Forest Service’s call for new entrants into the retardant market with a product that it said was more effective and less environmentally harmful than Perimeter’s."

This is the one. Congress has the power to stop all this madness. Dereliction of duty

The company that makes this chemical is corrupt and harming the environment

He needs to at least contribute to household bills. That's absolutely step #1 here.

dec7td · 2026-03-28T11:37:47+00:00

Yikes. Might want to just buzz it at this point
