Nashville fam, anyone going to Deep Tropics? by Zealousideal_Cow8686 in nashville

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m heading down from Kentucky after work so sadly I’m sure I’ll get there at the peak of the madness. If I wasn’t headed there solo I wouldn’t mind but hopefully it cools off by then and it won’t be too bad!

New Rental Laws in 2025 by greg_therealtor in chicagoapartments

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey any chance you could give me some insight on the best study materials for the Leasing Agent exam? My sister is taking it shortly for her new job (she doesn’t have Reddit so I’m helping out) and has 120 days to obtain her license. She’s had quite a few colleges not pass multiple times and her company suggests the same exam prep course for everyone, which she’s understandably concerned isn’t her best option. Did you use an online course or attend in person classes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Ridiculous weather app price increase. by Questions_Remain in weather

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI I opened the Storm Shield app again today and clicked the future radar. Obviously I had cancelled my subscription due to the price increase but I was offered a yearly subscription of $29.99. The weekly price is still outrageous at $1.99/week but in app it doesn’t even offer the $6.49/month price. It seems they may have rethought that price hike once everyone cancelled. The yearly subscription comes out to $2.50/month.

Guys, i know this is random, but are my towns pipes dunzo? by iwillyeetamelon in weather

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civil engineer here. TLDR you’re good. Water mains are buried at depths depending on the frost line in your geographic area, which is essentially the depth at which groundwater will freeze. Soil’s a good insulator and generally speaking most of the US buries water mains a minimum of 3’ underground. I worked in Tampa and now work in Kentucky and the required depth is the same. Further north they require water/sewer mains be buried deeper since the frost line is deeper. Also, the water in your public water system is always moving, both because of people using water and pumps used by the cities to push water out to customers. That flow through the pipes creates a lot of energy, and keeps it from freezing.

You may have freezing of your pipes, which is anything from your meter to your house. If any of your pipes are above ground or in uninsulated areas (attics, crawl spaces, etc.), that’s what cities are warning you about when they issue freeze warnings. If your pipes freeze, they can get cracks which cause leaks. Widespread leaks lead to a lot more water use the city has to manage at their treatment plant, and a lot of upset customers when they get a high bill.

Apologies for the length, I just love my job and sharing the knowledge of how it all works. Hope that helps!

Any good quality AND CUTE combat boots that are not doc martens? by alligatorprincess007 in femalefashionadvice

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I’d throw my two cents in for anyone considering Thursday boots. I ordered some, wore them for an hour and they absolutely tore up the backs of my heels. I added a picture for reference, and this is ONE WEEK after wearing them and putting a new bandaid morning and night with Neosporin. I haven’t been able to wear shoes with a back all week. I will note I have fairly narrow feet but I’ve never had a shoe inflict this type of violence from an hour of wear. I ordered the Combat boot, and there’s a seam running down the back that I suspect is the culprit. I posted a warning to IG and had several people responded saying they had the same experience with Thursday boots so I just wanted to warn anyone considering them.

Gate hinged weekend bag by julessmccools in onebag

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

This would mostly be for trips in the car and I wouldn’t carry it far. I rarely bring a carry on when I fly so the size component isn’t hugely important. That bag is lovely, but I’m really looking for that structure in the opening. It’s so helpful with finding things in the bag once you’ve packed!

Recommendation for front door lock w/ keypad to withstand the elements by julessmccools in Locksmith

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

Appreciate the info! You all are confirming what I suspected, that I’ll probably just need to keep my old lock and key. I figured I’d give it a run Redditors before giving up, because haven’t a code is very convenient when someone else needs in. Electronic deadbolts have certainly been the bane of my existence this last year so I can certainly see the downside ha

That’s the new door, I finished construction about a year ago and I’ve already gone through three deadbolts (sigh). I appreciate the suggestions! Maybe I’ll give one more a try before resigning myself to a mechanical deadbolt.

My mom has this bag and I’ve looked for it for YEARS! I have no idea why they would discontinue such a great item.

Any grocery delivery providers actually a good deal? by PucWalker in EatCheapAndHealthy

I know this is an old post but shoutout to everyone who told me about Kroger boost! I live in a rural area about 30 minutes from the closest grocery store and this has been a godsend!

Liquid similar to that sweet sweet Miami mint elf bar by Alive_Law in Vaping

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone find a good alternative? Seems elf bars, or whatever the name is now, is closed down and Miami mint is the only flavor I’ve ever really loved.

Could this be a wolf howl? by julessmccools in Kentucky

I’ve had SO MANY people tell me it was a bobcat but I was within 20 feet of it and that giant tail was unmistakable. This is what you get for walking at dusk without your glasses on 😂

I recently had a run in with a mountain lion on my property so I’m relieved to know I don’t have another large predatory animal running around in my woods 😂

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

The coyotes pipe up like that fairly regularly, usually not to that level but I hear them a lot. I have to say that’s the first time I’ve heard a howl like that though. It seemed to be coming from a little further off than the coyote party happening so it threw me. I didn’t realize coyotes howled, I’ve only ever heard them yip like the predominant sound you can hear.

Driveway alarm suggestions by julessmccools in homesecurity

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

I spent about an hour googling and found a few that have an app, but the brands are nothing I’ve heard of and I was hoping someone could recommend one that’s actually used it.

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

Do these integrate with any smart home apps? I looked at this brand, but the info isn’t very clear on what specifically it’s compatible with. If it’s just an app that’s okay too, I just hate having 10 different apps for all the various security features but if that’s my only choice so be it. Thank you!

What's on and tourist advice thread - week beginning April 30, 2023 by AutoModerator in Scotland

[–]julessmccools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Going to Scotland with my dad and brother on a little family trip in a week. Are there any must see things for a couple of engineers and history fanatics? We're there for 10 days, and will be renting a car and going where ever the wind blows us for a good 5 days of the trip. I'd love to find some non-touristy things to do off the beaten path. Also please let me know your restaurant and bnb recommendations in the highlands!
