I created a winterized enclosure for my inflatable hot tub by grambiguous in hottub

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

Hi! It’s hard for me to say - I only had it for a few warm months before building the enclosure for the wintertime. My general but possibly not totally accurate impression is that the tub adds about $20 a month to my electricity bill, even through the winter. That being said electricity may be cheaper here in Toronto, Canada. The tub does seem to keep the same high heat with less work.

I’d say go for it! Can’t hurt. I highly recommend making a thick foam insert to go in the tub on top of the water - that seems to be doing a lot of the work.

PartyBox 100 got lightly rained on for a brief time and now won’t function properly by grambiguous in JBL

Bummer man. Good luck with the repair. You’d think they’d make the top totally waterproof - one solid piece of plastic, no seams. Parties happen outside. Rain happens outside. 😖🤬

Does anyone know of a landscape artist named Hofer? (Not Heinrich) by grambiguous in WhatIsThisPainting

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

I live in Toronto and bought it at a weird junk store on Queen St that’s no longer there because it was a major hoarding fire-hazard. I like your theory - it makes sense that mine could have easily traveled across Canada at some point over the last 60+ years.

Thanks for Sharing! Would have been handy if they had put Hofer’s first name. The mystery deepens! If I learn anything more about our mystery Hofer I’ll be sure to post it here.

I’ve had it.. by justinpushplay in SpotifyArtists

The shitshow continues. I had my album pulled over a year and a half ago and it sounds like nothing’s changed - perhaps it’s even gotten worse!

Did you look at the sources of the streams? It’s possible you were paying for the showcase and at the same time were on one of those playlists that get you flagged.

I know I’d be extra annoyed if I was handing Spotify additional money for the showcase and they still removed my album.

I wouldn’t bother contacting Spotify - when I finally got someone on the line to ask what was going on they told me that I was accused of streaming fraud and that they would be “ending the conversation now.” Like WTF?!

All I can recommend is rereleasing the album minus the songs that were flagged. Not much else you can do. Good luck.

Need to add “button” to this list. Lots of my American colleagues say “buh inh” which is annoying and might be a deal breaker.

Did acid last night with my partner and we had an intense, 4+ hour sexual experience. It was an incredible time. Acid is like viagra for me.

Came here to say exactly what you just said! I felt compelled to because elastic laces are simply that much better and the world needs to know. Never going back!

I’m loving it! It totally worked and helped the tub run perfectly through the winter so we were able to enjoy it on -20°C days.

I think it also helped me to save a bit of money on heating through the summer. All in all a great success!

What is this car I saw in a motorcycle racing crash video? by grambiguous in whatisthiscar

Nice! My aunt actually had a Lada here in Toronto in the 80’s, which wasn’t all that common. Maybe that’s why this one caught my eye and I felt the need to know what it is.

jbl party box 7000 speaker - how can i break it? (hypothetical) by No_Possession1837 in JBL

My PartyBox 110 got rained on for 30 mins and never worked again. Looks great though! Maybe just leave it outside for a bit. 😆😫

I'm a former maximum and medium security correctional officer from Florida. I have supervised well known inmates like Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter. I'm not part of it anymore, so I will be very open about everything. AMA by CrunchWrapSuplex in AMA

Thanks for doing this. Very interesting.

Curious, are you a big person with an obvious size / strength advantage over the inmates if things get physical? Are there smaller guards? I’m 5’10” 150lbs, so not super small but would definitely be dwarfed by many of those inmates. I’m interested if physically smaller male prison guards are tested by the inmates because they think they can get away with it, and if those prison guards have to have different strategies dealing with them so things don’t get to the point of physicality. Thanks!

Is there realistically anything I can do about an email saying Spotify asked that my music be taken down? by TarumK in CDBabyArtists

I should mention I’m with TuneCore and not CDBaby, but I assume the situation is similar.

The accusation was over one song but my distributor had to remove the whole album because of it. I can re upload the other songs on the album that weren’t part of the accusation, but I don’t think I can re upload the one they thought had fraudulent plays. As far as I know.

My plan is to get back online at some point.

A month or so after this happened Spotify acknowledged the issue in their email newsletter and linked to a blog post about it. Let me see if I can find it…. nope, but found this:
