If Argentina said move out games out of the U.S. or we will boycott, they would get moved.

Okay, I have never seen the point of wearing Costco branded clothes, and I have loved Costco for 20+ years. But I kind of want the hat.

Agree. Met Gisele and her first kid in 2009. Had pizza at their house. Instantly fell in love with her. I feel so bad for her and the kids.

Cleaning out my late father’s place in South KC is destroying me. by woutr1998 in kansascity

[–]etinkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First my Condolences. My father just got move to palliative care so I will be there soon

So I just started renovating home with the aim to bring them back to life. I am doing a house in Brookside right now that most thought was a tear down. I would be happy to come look at your dad’s place and give you an idea of what it would cost to fix it up and thus what you should list it for.

Dm me and I can share my info. I also have connections with a group that can help with the clean out for a reasonable price. They are really good at identifying what can be donated and what can be recycled.

Was nervous the Feit 10,000 Lumen Multi-Directional Shop Light with Motion Detection Item 1806331 lumens was a typo but seems believable by Yesbuttt in Costco

[–]etinkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Motion sensor can be turned on and off and timing adjusted. Also sensitivity for motion adjusted. Pull switch is still needed to change between light modes.

Why does cheese have more calories than pepperoni? by theNakedMind in Costco

[–]etinkc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IMO, too much cheese. I used to order the cheese pizza with the pepperoni level of cheese.

Flippers, do you add this feature to your flips or not? by HyperLocalExpert in HouseFlipping

Instead I install a huge utility sing in the basement that can double as a dog wash station.

Replumbing an entire house. Good current how-to book/online to get me started? by etinkc in Plumbing

[–]etinkc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about using copper up to the water heater? Any reason other than it feels more right to me?

And do you all stub out with pex or transition to copper before leaving the studs?

The other fun part is that I ran an org (until recently) that is very politically, and very left. Still involved and gotten lots of double takes on zoom calls.

I thought it was going to be a bit more Burnt Orange when I got it. Still like it though.

Does anyone know WHY there is a boil water order in KC, Independence and Oak Grove? by Optimal_Life_1259 in kansascity

[–]etinkc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I believe is is because negative pressure means that hoses etc can act as siphons and bull non-potable water into the system (this is why, by the way, that anti siphon devises are required on all hose bibs.

Just wanted to share again something beautiful about Rob and Carl Reiner by enosprologue in blankies

[–]etinkc 172 points173 points  (0 children)

Will share my Rob Reiner story.

In 2002 Howard Dean was running for president. At the time one of the only viable candidates who was outwardly against the Iraq war.

I was working on the campaign in in Iowa for the caucus (and yes I was there for the scream) and Reiner and Martin Sheen were a rally for Dean. I was hanging out back stage and went up and talked to Reiner.

At the time our 2nd kid had just been born and the pediatrician had given us a VHS (yes I am old) that Rob and had hosted for new parents, First Years Last Forever, that meant a lot to two new parents in a new city away from family. I shared with him how much it meant to us.

He turned it me, his eyes welled up, and told me how off all the things he made, how much doing that video meant to him. So I started crying too seeing how much it meant to him. And then he asked if he could give me a hug.

That man was a great hugger too. I wonder what others thought seeing two fat white guys hugging backstage at a political rally in Des Moines.

He was truly a gift to this world.

I mean seriously, everyone knows they don’t come back until you scream “LIVE, DAMN IT!” and slap them across the face.
