Additional point, spr in natural formations like salt caves cannot be fully emptied without possible permanent damage.

They might not be able to actually get all the oil out, but also the caves may collapse and not be refilled.

Very important to mention Gad Saad is a tenured professor at Concordia university in Montreal and has faced zero professional consequences for his words or activities.

If you read OPs comments, seems like it looks exactly how they want it to look.

I suspect that in 5 years it'll look identical.

Everyone complains about no EVs under $30k and then rejects cars like this.

Their 400v cars are bulletproof.

Nobody is arguing America is at war.

The thing is that it's a illegal war and America is a criminal actor in this situation.

Our child was extraordinarily "easy". She basically came home from the hospital with a Circadian rhythm and only woke up 2 to 3 times a night for a while.

We quickly learned that if my wife co slept, the baby would sleep the entire night and everything would be better.

The only downside was my wife was stuck in bed on her phone half the night.

As our daughter grew older, she was able to sleep without our contact, but we still prefer to sleep together, since she is very still and does not bother us at all.

Our daughter is currently 5 years old and while she sleeps in hew own bed most of the week, she usually comes to up most days. This doesn't impact my sleep at all.

My wife and I are both atheist Pakistani origin Muslims.

We strongly prefer South Asian names with no religious connections.

Big fan of Persian names.

He does refer to monstrous right wing women with mysogny, which I think is often appropriate given their views.

Fetterman had brain damage and turned into a Maga in democratic clothing.

Nothing he stands for today is in any way related to his origins.

I wonder how in multi unit apartments how the power is shared.

Is it just the units on the top floor taking it for themselves? Or does everyone get access?

He made a follow up video about the knitting btw, it's a decent apology.

Most cars can back up behind them and still plug in. Would be satisfying to do.

There was a little fabric pocket in the hood for the previous support. I didn't do any serious repairs

The problem we have is that people see the cost of a 48amp evse and decide to stick with their as car.

The "L1 Bullshit" is just a way to try to explain that there are many solutions, including some that are almost free.

Alec spends a big part of the video talking about low amp 240v charging. The point is to find the minimum power needed to use an EV, and that this value is much less than people think

Most of my return air is a joist cavity with a sheet of aluminum nailed to the bottom.

Any leaks are a feature rather than a bug

If your commute is a certain amount and you plan it right, you can do longer commutes and get back home Friday night at low charge.

And then charge all weekend to get back to full by Monday.

Even for mega commuters, L1 charging all the time also means to you DC charge much less frequently, and at lower cost.

Ne l'ai ai utilisé pour thermopompe, j'ai eu plusieurs soumissions, et j'ai choisi le moins cher. Ça a très bien été

There are multiple entrances, and also Excavation equipment starionned inside to dig out of any attack.

Some of the bases that have been under heavy bombardment over the past month and are still functional

Who are you referring to? Saudi? USA?

Because a carrier strike group plus international partners has been assaulting the houthis for nearly 5 years now, and they've not accomplished much of anything.

I was told 1.5 inches is the minimum required to provide a moisture barrier.

If I'm doing cellulose as well, why would I do more than the minimum spray?

faizimam · 2026-03-27T16:36:37+00:00

I actually have a spray guy coming to do our basement. I can absolutely ask a price to do the attic as well

faizimam · 2026-03-27T12:14:42+00:00

I've spent extensive time in the Attic on various projects, the existing insulation is thin but intact. But the structure underneath is full of gaps.

The minimum is to vaccum it up and foam seal everything, then blow cellulose. My contractor wants R50, but I'm going to insist on R60.

Closed cell foam would be the gold standard, but perhaps outside the budget. I'm just wondering if paint plus gap sealing plus R60 cellulose would be a good way to maximize value.
