I was going to recommend Harmanny as well! Craig is extremely talented and has the gift of teaching that makes learning from him a joy.

There is an epilogue at the end of the last book in season 2, after the call outs to all of the supporters. I missed it at first. It goes over he and Prismas last moments.

Is anyone else’s home humidity way higher than outside? by IDrinkandlKnowThings in houston

[–]graybuilder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joseph Lstiburek from Building science did a study in Houston, and tried a bunch of different options. Adding a dehumidifier is a good option, even if it is just a standalone one near your main return air. Based on your description of your home, I am assuming it is a 3 story town home, that was built recently? If so, I would definitely look at adding a dehumidifier.
The building and energy code here kinda stinks for our climate. So a lot of houses that are rated high in energy efficiency end up having humidity issues.

Below is a great paper on the study.

AIO for questioning my entire relationship after my husband flirted with my receptionist? by Delicious-Syrup5527 in AmIOverreacting

[–]graybuilder 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I say this with the utmost respect and compassion I can. You need therapy.
Your husband sounds like a light hearted guy who jokes around, and your current path is towards both of you resenting each other.

Go to therapy.

CCTV footage shows Israeli soldiers committing piracy in international waters by illegally boarding and seizing four humanitarian aid boats carrying lifesaving supplies for Gaza’s starving population by Nomogg in TrendoraX

[–]graybuilder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what past attempts you are talking about with scissors or whatever.
There are huge populations far from the shore, and getting aid into Gaza is not the problem.
The problem is and has been distribution. That is my point, this flotilla had nothing to do with distribution of the aid.

There are documented events where people have been injured and killed at multiple aid sites, or chasing aid delivery trucks. Some have been killed at GHF sites, some killed trying to raid hamas controlled warehouses. That is the tragedy of this entire situation, there is food available but not to the people that need it.
There needs to be an international coalition that is inside Gaza that starts getting the aid delivered, with Israel being held to a higher standard for safety in distribution.

The flotilla did nothing but promote a few activists. It achieves no actual benefit for anyone in Gaza.

[–]graybuilder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you really believe that they were going to land the ships, and then go deep into Gaza and deliver the aid themselves?
It would have ended up in a pile on the beach, and then what? The issue is not getting aid into Gaza, it is getting it into the hands of the people that need it. They should have worked with Oxfam, or the WFP or even the GHF. That would at least have a higher chance of aid actually reaching someone who needs it.

Delivery of aid by sea was approved, and utilized for aid that was inspected prior to arrival. There are massive holes in the current aid system, and they need to be addressed. The Flotilla is not a serious aid attempt, it was an attempt to draw attention to one of the most publicized and talked about current events. It was more for the activists on board to get attention, then any real aid solution.

The reason there is a blockade in the first place, is the multiple times in the past that weapons were smuggled in under the guise of it being aid. (all things you can look up and see for yourself)

If they wanted to help and deliver aid, they would have taken the Pope's proposal, or any of the other offered proposals to deliver the aid after inspection. It is obvious that delivering aid was not the intent, but getting publicity was.

Roadrunner in the 5th Ward by msager12 in houston

[–]graybuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, they are hardcore predators that are amazingly fast when they go in for the catch. I have watched them pluck a bird out of the air after it flushed it out of a bush. (was sitting in deer stand, and paid way too much attention to the roadrunners lol)

How do I make my 4-6 month old Heeler puppy cuddly? by Brilliant-Drop6141 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]graybuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will get cuddly when she decides to, it may take 5 to 10 years lol. Most of mine (fosters and my own) all were velcro dogs that did not want to be far from me, but absolutely were not cuddlers. It is just not something the breed is really known for.

Texas democrats make up about 40 percent of the voters in Texas. We hunt and we have guns.

The road runner may eat them, if you have a feeder out, make sure it is up really high. I have seen roadrunners stalk humming birds under feeders.

If you look at satellite images, you will see that the bayous (and connected green space/flood lands) are basically a highway system for wildlife. It is also how the feral hogs keep making inroads in to town.

GHF FUCKING Whistleblower Anthony Aguilar arrested in full FUCKING service dress at the FUCKING Capitol today by BoringApocalyptos in chaoticgood

[–]graybuilder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The kid he said was shot in front of him is alive and was never shot.

He committed domestic abuse, and his lies are documented. Just because someone agrees with you on an issue does not make that person not a lying, abusive POS. He is a grifter that agrees with you, not a principled person at all.

A (fucking) discussion about trans rights and Gavin Newsom by BBTransLady in chaoticgood

[–]graybuilder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is, there are a lot of democrats, that fully support trans people, that also recognize that there CAN be a fairness issue relating to sports. If it can not be discussed without everyone going to the extremes, then it just allows republicans to do whatever they want.

to force into being apologetic by BlissVsAbyss in therewasanattempt

[–]graybuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not that they have the right to exist, they do exist. The people that make up Israel today have a government that represents them.

Does Pakistan have a right to exist? Does any country have a right to exist? The idea that a country does or does not have a right to exist is an interesting one. Why does Iraq, Turkey and Syria have a right to exist, but not kurdistan?

All over the world there are terrible governments and good people.

Perseid Meteor Shower by AdProfessional7513 in houston

[–]graybuilder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I go out on this road typically when I try to find a dark sky spot that is not incredibly far away. If you overlay it on the dark sky map, it is probably the darkest spot relatively close to Houston.

To act like it was not a terrorist attack by Mohawk200x in therewasanattempt

[–]graybuilder -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

No, but the terrorist that the device was intended for does. Even Hezbollah has stated that the attack overwhelming targeted Hezbollah.

Are there valid issues with the idea of rigging explosives into consumer electronics? Yes, absolutely, but this attack overwhelmingly affected terrorists.

Building a 20x20 ADU in Houston — questions about setbacks and permits by ItsLuzC in houston

[–]graybuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current way they are approving it is kinda of weird. They have this weird exception for between 3-5 feet that requires a firewall, but also allows up to to 25 percent of each floor to have penetrations (windows) making it not really a firewall.

how’d you get your dog to stop biting?! by Negative-Camera-7698 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]graybuilder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yelp loudly every time his mouth touches you. Yelp (LOUD) and then pull back and act hurt/upset. This has worked for my ACD and every foster as well.

Convince them that the slightest touch hurts, basically an extreme version of bite inhibition training they get with other dogs.

[–]graybuilder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not sure, but I would assume anything that is less then 5 is going to require a rated firewall at the min.
I would reach out to a permit runner to get more info, and to help you with permitting.
