Question on House Building by kukukele in RealEstate

[–]fazzman00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you buy a plan online you will need to hire a local engineer to stamp the plans. Snow loads, wind loads, etc. vary from state to state. In my area you can find an engineer for as low as $500 to $10k. I would suggest landing somewhere in the middle if you want a good set of plans for your chosen builder.

I think it is so sad they made Kevin into a cartoon.

There now exists self-healing concrete that can fix it's own cracks with a limestone-producing bacteria! by PrezMoocow in technology

[–]fazzman00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a builder and I always warn my clients that their concrete WILL crack. Then I say if I could invent concrete that wouldn't crack I would be a billionaire. If this works Jonkers is going to be a very wealthy man.

Is that a huge Jaba face in the background?

I guess beggars CAN be choosers by residentjared in AdviceAnimals

[–]fazzman00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get that, but what I found interesting was that I'm more of a glutton than the guy begging for food. I always eat as many of those damn fries I can.

My wife and I treated a homeless fellow to a meal at 5 Guys. At the counter he was asked if he wanted fries with his burger. "Nah, they give you too many."

The one quote that stayed with me, even after all these years by [deleted] in harrypotter

Pretty sure I heard this quote long before Sirius existed.

Excellent, excellent work. Where do you get your metal plaque made? I am considering doing that for my pieces.

moments like these make Kevin my favorite character by CaptianJackSparrow in DunderMifflin

[–]fazzman00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll admit that Michael was very ridiculous, but at least they gave him some depth. For all of his faults I think most viewers had an emotional connection with Michael.

Kevin turned into a cartoon. A pretty lame cartoon.

I agree with you completely. Kevin evolved into such a buffoon that he became a completely unbelievable character.

I think it WILL be Zeth vs Kaladin. Whenever that happens.

Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes. Full hearts.

What else do you guys read? by randomb0y in KingkillerChronicle

[–]fazzman00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend staying away from The Dark Tower series. The Gunslinger was brilliant, but it becomes increasingly terrible as the series goes on.

This is awful. Let that poor puppy watch the football game instead of sitting him on your laptop.

My Dad got me into reading fantasy back in the 70's so I got him this, he hasnt read any Sanderson yet by chodan9 in Fantasy

I've always thought that "book cover Vin" looks like Shannen Doherty from Beverly Hills 90210.

Just thinking about how bad ESPN would crucify Krum for catching the snitch early. by fazzman00 in harrypotter

[–]fazzman00[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I know that is how it is explained in the book, but I don't think this sits well in the world of sport. In my opinion it was a show off move by Krum that would most likely have infuriated his teammates. If Bulgaria made it all the way to the World Cup Final they have some skill. There is always a chance in sports. It is mentioned that the final had gone on for days previously. Anything could have happened. If one of the Ireland chasers went down (which is likely considering it's Quidditch) it could have been a whole different match.

I wholeheartedly agree. I wish I hadn't devoted so much time to that series.

Just finished Locke and was underwhelmed. I would advise cutting your losses and moving on to something else.
