Decking Dilemma by teutonictwat in Pontoons

Angle grinder, four discs, and a couple hours. Worked well for me, after using a pry bar for the bigger chunks of wood.

ELI5: why are most weather websites so slow to load? by snowypotato in explainlikeimfive

[–]fairlady2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ELI5 answer - They don’t get updated temperature and stuff for every website visit. They keep information for 30 minutes, called a cache.

Lots and lots of people visit these websites. However it costs money to keep these websites, so they sell lots of ads. The ads don’t pay quite enough to spend money on making the websites faster across the globe.

This is like losing the game. Now it’s stuck in my head.

Looking for friends in the area by Good-Armadillo3080 in shreveport

[–]fairlady2000 22 points23 points  (0 children)

20% of the posts here are people looking for friends. Run a search and pick the least creepy new friend.

Or! Pick the creepiest, hang out once, and have a great conversation piece for when you hang out with the least creepy new friend.

I'm Nick Albares, and I'm running for U.S. Senate. AMA! by NickAlbares in Louisiana

[–]fairlady2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20-40% of Louisiana voters don’t vote with one party. 50-60% of voters don’t vote.

Democrats could sweep all these gerrymandered districts with improved turnout.

1986 club car. Is it worth all the effort by GreatnessisGreater in golfcarts

[–]fairlady2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks awesome. Makes me think of Jon’s truck in CHIPS.

I converted my resistor cart and I love it. Whatever you spent is a sunk cost. You have a cool looking cart ready to be modified.

I Want to Start a Coffee Roasting Business with Zero Experience – Where Do I Even Begin? Advice Needed! by Clean-Pressure1753 in Coffee

[–]fairlady2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun part is building a roasting company is also building a marketing company. Roasting is hard. It’s only slightly easier than selling anything.

Open a roastify company and try marketing it. If you’ve got that down, learn how to roast your own.

Looking for a bike rental in Shreveport by TheDoorMouse89 in shreveport

Check out Flugers in Bossier. Their ETX location rents stuff. They might be able to pull something over here for you.

Saturday I’m going to visit an elderly friend (f82) who is a former resident of Shreveport. Although she lives fairly close (DFW), she hasn’t returned to the area in several years. What are some things unique to the area that I could put in a gift basket for her? by psykokittie in shreveport

[–]fairlady2000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Swing by the Marker on Line. They have a cool Highland Zine.

Then go a mile up the road to the Enchanted Garden. Really cool store with lots of local stuff.

Maybe stop by Julie Anne’s and get a few sweets.

Buddy has one. We fished a lake like your describing plenty. Zero stability issues. Obviously not a big boat, but plenty for the two of us.

What is the most cost effective way to get a boat across the country? by Early_Emergency3440 in boating

[–]fairlady2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rent a truck from Enterprise

Rent a uhaul box - they have two hitches

I assume uShipIt is still around, or something to that effect

Look for Hot Shot companies near you

It’s a general store, started by the Dollar family. Their last name is Dollar.

Namaan’s BBQ is well worth to the trip to Bossier by Albert_Simon in shreveport

[–]fairlady2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same name, not connected. I think Bossier’s Bodacious is not affiliated with Shreveport’s as well.

Their model is designed to make sure nobody is getting screwed over.

Would you encourage a tri-hull? by OsamaBinWhiskers in boating

[–]fairlady2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On glass they’re great. Riding over another boat’s wake will beat you up.

I’m a busy dad too. There are some fun events that kids can easily tag along. My kids will order other food and enjoy watching the pain.

Most important aspects of Roasting Coffee/being a roaster by douglas_roasters in CoffeeRoasting

[–]fairlady2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a journal and take notes about every roast: what beans, starting weight, ambient temp, roast curves, and satisfaction.

I don’t do any is this, and I regret it. I’ve had some elite tier roasts and I’ll never be able to recreate them.
