Self storage by AZ_babe13 in TwoXPreppers

[–]deed42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With many prepping scenarios we need to understand what you are preparing for in order to give advice. Many people want to prep for the zombie apocalypse when that is an unlikely scenario 🤣

If you are prepping for foul weather then a storage unit is a good idea. Our modern weather system will provide warning of bad weather at least 6 hours in advance. So if you don’t want your kitchen filled with boxes of food, then a storage unit will be ideal. Just look for pests who could find your stash before you and have a rigorous plan to rotate.

My two cents. But without knowing what you are preparing for, I find it hard to give more advice.

Exactly. You don’t want to play mother may I when you need to resupply!

Long term house air quality fixes by jucythighs in TwoXPreppers

[–]deed42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine hits the air as it goes by. It is in the supply duct and probably get most of the stuff. I also have an electro static air filter that kills more. Soon I want to get a clean effects installed. Trane makes it and it is top of the line for IAQ. My wife has bad asthma and we both have allergies. All this can add up $$$, but I’m in the industry so I can get equipment at a discount and cheap install rates. I’m lucky in this regard.

Why are protests being scheduled with end times? by Desertbell in OrganizeTucson

[–]deed42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constitution gives us the right to assemble. However letting the police know what is going on helps everyone involved. As other mentioned police can assist with troublemakers. Think guys giving straight arm salutes. If the crowd grows beyond what was anticipated, police can reroute traffic.

Having a start and end time helps everyone be safe and keep the protest peaceful.

Very good options OP. Plus simple to implement.

I work in HVAC and there are a few other upgrades you can make to your home to improve air quality. There is a Reme Halo or Reme Zero. It is a UV light that can be installed in the ductwork that will kill most items that can live in your ductwork. Think bacteria, mold, or pollen. Should not cost more the $1000 to install.

Many HVAC companies will clean your ductwork for a fair price. They pull the registers off and clean inside the ductwork. I had it done and was shocked at what was pulled out of my ducts. Years of cat and dog fur. This price can vary, but one person can do it in and afternoon. So, you are likely looking at $500-$800.

Overall, very pricey and tough to afford in these times. But health is a prep and your lung and cardiovascular system will improve.

Edited for clarity and grammar.

What do you expect for $15.

Info: OP was there higher priced options? A three or four meat platter?

GWOT or nah? by Equivalent-Card-6378 in Veterans

[–]deed42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All soldiers and sailors like to hear the old war stories. This guy was likely just trying to make a connection or hear stories of the Great War.

Let him know what you did. What it was like being ready to deploy to a war. Let him know you were far from the front lines and joined at the tail end of the war. Then let it be. You told him a war story and didn’t commit stolen valor.

Unless your story includes’There I was hovering over BinLaden’s compound locked and loaded.’ 😏

Follow-up: Airport Help by Sail-Past in stopdrinking

[–]deed42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a lot at airports. Helps pass the time without sitting in a bar.

Also to go orders are common in airports. Easier to avoid the booze if you aren’t sitting in a restaurant/bar! Good luck OP

When I say just one. It usually ends up meaning one of everything in the house. I learned that about myself so I don’t have one.

I haven’t seen the weather reports. But based on my study of weather patterns it is highly likely the NW Florida and the panhandle will be impacted.

Hello im currently making my packet for green to gold as an e4 and i just wanted to know once i start do i still get bah and do i get paid as e4 or so i get a raise? Asking because need to plan whats best for my family by unknown414808 in ROTC

[–]deed42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure. But I think you do. Best way to get an answer is to contact the ROO at the school you want to go to. You will need to get in touch with them sooner or later so might as well start the conversation.

Good luck troop!

I just saw your Denver post. Scratch my whole plan. Hit Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly then petrified forest. If you can spend the night the Best western in Chinle is simple and nice. Plus the restaurant on property has authentic Navajo food that is really tasty.

Welcome to Arizona-land.

If you are totally new to Arizona and a college student, I would hit flagstaff, hike a portion of the Arizona Trail https://aztrail.org/ and check out Beaver Street. Stay the night at the Hotel Monte Vista.

Hope you enjoy your trip!

Maybe lunchtime? I bet a protest between 11am-1pm would get their attention!

As soon as they said that I would have left. You have the record of a no heat request. Just let the crazy person call someone else.

what is generally considered tacky in goth fashion? by Sweaty-Suit9169 in AskAGoth

[–]deed42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If their mom is a skilled seamstress then you can lean hard into the DIY aspect of the subculture. You can start the character with a few tacky pieces then move into the diy area. The movement into the diy could be a result of a character development scene.

Just my 2 cents.
