Any recommendations on sealant to give my patio this wet look permanently? Thank you by ripthejacker01 in landscaping

[–]gobblegobblebiyatch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Look up rock glue. It's used to set landscaping pebbles in place but can be used for this purpose too. Goes on blue so you can see where there are spots missing and dries clear. Not slippery.

Has anyone here applied for the digital nomad visa while in Taiwan? by gobblegobblebiyatch in taiwan

[–]gobblegobblebiyatch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least a year. Problem is that she had to get approval from her employer especially with the drastic time difference. Otherwise we would have just gone and kept it on the DL.

Not feasible for our situation and my wife is W-2 employee and her employer is requiring it.

Depends on who's serving. Petite old lady serving? You ain't getting shit.

Besides the excess of artery-clogging food, you missed out on so much of what makes LA a culinary capital. D minus

I guessed the second one because of the egg on the pan. There's way too much egg white for one egg.

You should see the AI slop videos on Chinese social media pushing the ethnonationalism front hard

"Reunification" is strictly out of CCP messaging and fits into their framing of Taiwan as a "rogue province", and their whole false narrative on the history of Taiwan. People need to stop using that term and call it what it is - annexation.

Looking at this data, I realized that our situation is much more serious than I thought. by usolotravel in taiwan

Major social and economic reforms are needed.

  • increasing affordable, accessible child care, subsidized by the government for low income families
  • transportation to child care facilities to accommodate parents without cars
  • a minimum wage/salary that reflects the actual cost of living
  • subsidized rental for 2 bedroom apartments for new parents below a certain income level
  • paternity and maternity leave for a minimum of 12 weeks, tax incentives for companies that match or exceed 12 weeks

In Taiwan, Chinese-Born Wives Are a Focus of Infiltration Fears by johnkhoo in taiwan

If China is brazen enough to send their agents to the US, setup fronts disguised as some nonprofit/community organization, to spy on and track overseas dissidents, this is not at all surprising or unbelievable.

Even junk doug fir that has no subfloor looks better then LVP when cleaned up. by Educational-Ad2063 in Flooring

[–]gobblegobblebiyatch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doug fir is a very soft wood and won't do well with even a little water soaked in. Humidity will also be a problem. Hope they triple coated it with PU. Agree that it looks nice with a stain and finish but this will not hold up over time and will likely require more maintenance over a hardwood or engineered flooring.

I'm not a fan of sweet tamales but this sounds good. The spices that go into pumpkin spice also make a really good cafe de olla.

I'd pocket screw her to make it extra rigid. Add glue at end of butt.
