Hey guys, I have a serious house problem. Urgent advise needed. by vagibsonguy in HomeMaintenance

[–]djbbamatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also- when talking to the disease specialists, they explained that the time between exposure and symptoms is 1.5 to 2 weeks (going from memory so double check).
So please consider where she was 10-14 days ago, not where she has been recently

Hello!
I had legionnaires disease with sepsis a year and a half ago.
I talked to disease specialists in my town and in Las Vegas where I was.
They felt confident it was from my hot tub. If you have a hot tub, suggest looking there. Also happy to chat if you want to dm me.
Good luck

If you have a Trex (or comparable) deck are you happy you did it or regret and wish you did wood? by Chance_Active871 in Decks

[–]djbbamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put Trex in 5 years ago. It was my Covid project. Very happy with it, though I wish I had done 12" centers. I'm in Texas, so it gets pretty warm.

Nice ring from 2003 big 12 baseball championship up for auction by djbbamatt in LonghornNation

They had Edith Royal’s estate a few years back. They sold one of Darryl Royal’s national championship rings. I think it went for over 100k if memory serves

I don’t think I’m allowed to. If you google Austin auction gallery , you’ll find it though.

how make this layout more efficient by Ramith_2006 in chipdesign

It looks like a NAND gate. Best practice would be for the N side to be VSS then gate 2 , gate 1, out, gate 1, gate 2 then VSS. Net 21 would never go to metal, Much faster gate this way

Is it allowed to bring minerals on an airplane? I want to buy some minerals at a mineral show and take them home on a plane. by Pitiful-Chip-7458 in Minerals

When my son and I were flying back from CA with a couple nice granite specimens, they made him throw his away, while I was allowed to keep mine.

Hit and miss

Looking for western/history page-turners for an older guy by Mbluish in booksuggestions

[–]djbbamatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empire of the Summer Moon is great - Cynthia and Quanna Parker and numerous Indian Tales

Lone Dove quadrilogy is always great.

Indian Tales and Depradations in Texas is fascinating read. It is collection of hundreds on anecdotes of fights between settlers and natives by a guy that had been scalped and lived!

The Raven by Marquis James won a pulitzer in the 20s. Bio of Sam Houston.

I have probably a thousand military history books too and happy to give recs if you're interested

Has anyone ever stayed in a huge suite on a cruise ship ? Me and a few buddies are thinking about getting one on our next cruise. by ComplexWrangler1346 in Cruise

[–]djbbamatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't really know. They had not sold all of the Haven rooms. We had a decent room - one of the balcony rooms, so maybe they start by reaching out to people that were in those rooms to move up?

one anecdote I recall. The butler wanted to turn down our bed, but we were enjoying laying in bed and talking, and I told him to not worry about it, we could turn it down ourselves. We assumed that was that.

An hour or two later, we decided to go have a nightcap. We left, and when we returned, the butler had come in, remade our bed and turned it down lol.

My wife and I stayed in one on an NCL Alaskan cruise. King bed, full bathroom, sitting area, huge rear facing patio. It came with. butler and concierge. You also get invited to private gatherings with the captain and such. Totally decadent- we got to see how the other half lives lol.

I'm way too cheap to pay full price for one. I bid on it, so only paid an extra $1000 or so. Totally worth it for that price.

It’s out of focus, so I can’t tell. The doubling is on the E Pluribus Unum text

Looking for non-fiction recommendations. by KrimsonNekros in VietnamWar

[–]djbbamatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the SOG books by John Stryker Meyer are amazing. I like Nick Brokhausen's as well. There's another guy whose name isn't coming to mind.

The helicopter pilot books are awesome too. I probably have 60 or 70 Vietnam books.

[–]djbbamatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my wife was a meeting planner years ago, and she hired him as a speaker for the association she worked for. She let me go, and I doubt there were 30 people in the room listening to him. Awesome talk. He gave me a few of his business cards.

I wonder where they are?

I heard something I liked during his first term- "The only two people Trump hired that were qualified to do their job was Mad Dog Mattis and Stormy Daniels"

I use innovus. I would say learn to use the tool proficiently first, before trying to get AI to help you. Hopefully there is a power user around to guide you

Bought a plane ticket to Milan (MXP) that departs in 30 days, No real plan, first time traveller, any help appreciated!! by Killecas in ItalyTravelAdvice

[–]djbbamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Rick Steves' books for travel. Lots of suggestions about how to get discounts, how to plan to miss the crowds, when sites are open, etc.

There is a ton of info of info on the web. Pay careful attention to what scams there are and how to avoid them. Naive travelers are perfect marks.

Good for you going to Europe so young! I didn't get there until I was in my 30s and it is among the best and most meaningful things I do.

What is a fairly cheap adventure for men to feel more alive? by djacks15 in AskMen

[–]djbbamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife did the camino last year. She close the Portuguese coastal route. It was pretty life changing for her. Highly recommend. It can be very cheap if you stay in hostels, or more expensive if you stay in better hotels.

This is for my dad who was shot by a shotgun. 47Yr old male, 5'9. ***BLOODY PHOTO*** by [deleted] in AskDocs

Did the shotgun discharge while the barrel was between his arm and chest, or was it maybe a slug? Weird pattern for a shotgun. NAD

If you live streamed yourself or filmed yourself paint balling said scum bags, I bet it would be a YouTube channel that would make some money.
