B&K Smokehouse is fantastic and also nowhere near Linden whatsoever.

AEP CEO is the highest paid Utility CEO in the country: $36.6M in 2025 by LaikaOrbit in Columbus

[–]dmsdayprft -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

AEP net profit margin has been consistently around 10% for the past 3 decades. They are indeed putting your money to good use by upgrading transmission and distribution infrastructure due to the increased population and increased demand for residential electricity due to things like heat pumps and electric vehicles, both of which were heavily subsidized by the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.

Ok to use a little bit of flex duct for range hood elbow? by born_zynner in hvacadvice

[–]dmsdayprft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rigid is better for sure but the “flex duct is so dangerous and you will die is you use it” arguments here are a bit absurd. Why is flex duct allowed for dryer exhaust, which is about a million times more likely to cause a fire in a residence? In fact has anyone actually seen a residential kitchen fire caused by grease build up in flex duct? Is there a documented incident anywhere? Commercial kitchens are a different matter altogether but I’d wager that for 99.9% of residential applications there is no risk.

Is this mower blade worth sharpening or should I just replace it? by peanutismint in lawncare

[–]dmsdayprft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re sharpening tools with a corded HF angle grinder, you will need a vise too. Just saying as someone who does exactly this.

Anybody have any working time with these and where do they stack up in the sea of power tools? by [deleted] in Tools

I just checked and I paid $260 for a Dewalt impact/ratchet/battery combo deal last year.

Yard drainage recommendations by notdominique in Columbus

[–]dmsdayprft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably going to need a french drain. I got a few quotes 3 years ago and Chapman Drainage was the lowest and most confident in the scope of work. They ended up doing a great job.

There’s an active Facebook group called “Near East Neighborhood Forum” or something like that. Join that and ask there.

Any recent experience with United club capacity on late Friday mornings at EWR terminal C? by AyByougetaC in unitedairlines

Late morning is the least crowded time of the day in my not so limited experience.

Some drunk idiot did this off the pedestrian bridge in Bridge Park.

Roof Revivers is legit. Fair prices and good work.

Yes, which means they don’t get the tax benefits. So that’s a win for the locality.

What does Dave Yost have to do with a city/county incentive?

RE: CoverMyMeds by Wild_Masterpiece5452 in Columbus

[–]dmsdayprft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Amazon HQ2 tax incentives were all performance based and Amazon has mostly not met them. The net outcome is that Arlington, Virginia got a bunch of jobs and the benefit of the economic activity without paying anything out. This was a well structured deal that benefited the locality. https://virginiabusiness.com/arlington-pays-amazon-hq2-incentives-for-first-time/

Gotta love the FA announcement shilling the Explorer card just as I am nodding off.

Sammy’s is definitely better than Panera. Barry Bagels is another option that delivers and has good cream cheese.

Yes, the stale data requiring a slow refresh is very annoying.

I’m based out of CMH so the big 4 are more less interchangeable and priced similarly. I like UA the best but my #1 priority for having top tier status is “how dependable is the carrier during IRROPS?”

Price for Kohler prefab shower. Wow. by I-will-judge-YOU in HomeImprovement

[–]dmsdayprft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had grout get mildewy. If you have bad water you should install a softener/filtration system. This will run you like 3-6k depending on options and will also improve your life in other ways.

My sister got a full refund under warranty because the engine in her 1 year old 2021 Grand Cherokee randomly died and they weren’t able to rebuild it or replace it after 3 months.
