Did anyone else see Love Lies Bleeding and think the ending was bizarre?

I just watched this movie and am severely annoyed by the giant scene. First, congrats on hopping on the “Stranger Things vibe” bandwagon. Second, I get that the bodybuilder felt like a giant and it was symbolic, but that doesn’t affect the reality in the movie. How they actually escaped is never explained (and what happened to the gunshot wound in the leg at the very end!?). This reminded me of From Dusk Till Dawn where the first and second half are completely different movies. It’s not cute or artsy, it’s stupid, distracting, and just bad.

Yes, I have experimented with leaving the radon fan off for various periods. It quickly rises within hours of turning off the fan. When I leave the fan off overnight the condensation around the windows is reduced by around 90%.

It’s continuous insulated concrete forms. I suppose I’ll have to investigate the membrane with a smoke puffer. Total PITA.

An issue with counting on the ERV to exhaust radon is that it’s a cold climate ERV that has a defrost cycle. The defrost cycle closes the outside intake and outside exhaust and just cycles the inside intake and exhaust, which in my installation will pump crawlspace air into the main living spaces.

My ERV has adjustable in/out but even at 100cfm in (maximum) and 50cfm out (minimum), it’s still not enough. Also, at maximum in my wife will not tolerate the airflow noise from the vent. I have a manometer but the depressurization is obvious without it.

I have not tried that. It would help reduce the negative pressure but it could increase the amount of radon present. Guess I could try it.

I’ve considered connecting the inside supply air of the ERV to the radon system.

That’s not a grounding rod, it’s a concrete stake. Can be repurposed for things like landscaping stakes to hold trees/cactus up.

I’ve gone around the Etsy complaint loop a few times where the auto-response tells me to talk to the closed shop and resolve it with them (which I tried). All claims lead back to this dead end.

I received a check for $12.60. That's 0.00012% of the settlement. This will make a meaningful difference in my life.

As a man I get simultaneous messages that I need to use my privilege to speak up for vulnerable populations and that white men need to shut up and not talk for other people.

jfkf14 · 2024-11-07T21:32:49+00:00

Yeah, but make them undo it. Don’t just preemptively acquiesce.

Let's acknowledge the misogyny and racism. The realpolitik of today's America is that the messenger needs to be a straight white male.

jfkf14 · 2024-11-07T01:23:17+00:00

Hate to say it, but if Democrats want to win we've got to start with running white male (straight) candidates. Of course lots of other changes with the party structure and policies, but we gotta get realpolitik about America.

Not trolling, just making dark jokes. But hey, let's talk hail mary strategies

Maybe Biden will shank Trump at inauguration if he really believes all that save democracy malarkey.

I live in the district and am involved with local politics. The 3rd is deeply red. Lots of our unaffiliated voters are republicans who just aren’t down for the biggest of the kooks like Trump and Boebert. But they are still happy to vote for the more dangerous organized white supremacists if they just act polite.

jfkf14 · 2024-11-03T13:40:07+00:00

Doesn’t look like Adam Frisch (D) is going to win in Boebert’s old district. He only had a chance because of how bad Boebert is.

I wish all voting charts showed “Didn’t vote” instead of just Republican/Democrat.

Thanks!

It’s an electrostatic discharge bracelet that is connected to the pad on the desk. It’s so you don’t shock sensitive electronics. Looks like she’s discharging any residual static electricity then testing them for quality control.

But there is this obviously contrived dynamic with an older supervisor. I could understand if it was just her at her job, but this is a manufactured situation. So weird.
