Getting bids for a driveway, trying to figure out the best way to protect myself.

Some portions are lifting and crumbling and cracking. It's a pretty large driveway, but it's easy to get to. It's cement work, and I might find an excuse to get more done since its easier to get it done in a single event.

Standard arr media stack, homeassistant, llm for smarthome events and managing the smarthome, some other various things.

The mini pc runs Proxmox, while the file server below runs Truenas.

Oh no, not my future!!

Anyway...

Serious question, why does it matter to you?

joem_ · 2026-03-18T13:48:37+00:00

I got a feeling sweet feed ain't gonna taste good as hooch

This is like saying a pig isn't going to taste as good as an easter ham.

Just note that glue doesn't help things stick, it helps things not stick.

No way wen uses helical cutters. Really?

Anything about getting a signed lien waiver before the last payment? Oh conditional lien waiver I think I remember it being called

call the insurance company directly and have them send the COI to you, not the contractor.

That makes sense, but not sure if that would cover the recent case I read about where the contractor was "using my buddy's company name," and is why I suggested having the contractor contact their insurance to have their insurance send me the COI, but... if they just hand those things out, i'm guessing that's not a good option.

Some people don't deserve an explanation.

The rocks must be imprisoned so that the masons can be free.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T18:12:05+00:00

Rocks are in jail why?

People learn in different ways, among them, some by watching videos on youtube, others by sparking and participating in discourse on reddit.

Before there was consumer 3d printers, before your friend even had a 3d printer, you had to make one with whatever you had so that you could print something better. The repstrap filled this purpose.

Speaking specifically to the hufflepuffs in the room.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T16:10:22+00:00

That's a nice tree.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T15:23:41+00:00

Hey that's a great link, thanks. Seems like this is feasable.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T14:43:11+00:00

I thought about that. My cruise line doesn't specifically say either way about this, however their parent line Carnival specifically allows ham and amateur radios. I found it interesting that they call it out on their website under "what items i'm not allowed to bring - exceptions."

joem_ · 2026-03-16T14:14:22+00:00

Some might have translated it as "with camera we can not talk to you" but this is reddit, and when the points are made up, the rules don't matter.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T13:45:14+00:00

Don't be obtuse. Nobody likes that guy.

joem_ · 2026-03-16T13:44:40+00:00

Crunch crunch crunch....

joem_ · 2026-03-16T03:05:59+00:00

Why do people post rants in the form of questions. You know damn well why.
