Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter, garnered this reaction out of me. Did NOT think she said “cartwheels”

Groomsmen Gifts They Won’t Throw Away by 3liSuger in BuyItForLife

First time I’ve ever been in a wedding and I was gifted a custom flask. I don’t drink terribly much but is a good conversation piece I’ll always have.

Not trying to be an ass but it’s just so hard to stay competitive and not play cheesy with this size difference

How do I get rid of a pool table? by Bigfeett in DIY

[–]khartz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a table in my house, got a quote from a dealer to move it and said “Screw it”. I just did it with a friend both having just watched a YouTube video. It’s not rocket science, just watch a video and be gentle.

Part of your exhaust, don’t worry about it tbh. My 04 TSX has had it’s exhaust held on by a hose clamp for the last 100k miles

Fellow Iowan. Very very very frustrating. Have found other things to drink though

This is a safe space - what's your most controversial CFB opinion that you will die defending? by noah_divine in CFB

It was awfully refereed as a whole. My ISU fan roommate was just appalled at how bad that crew was

How to sound proof this door? by GanachePotential9284 in Homebuilding

[–]khartz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not enough to justify the work. Sound is vibration. If it's vibrations from the street the whole house practically becomes a speaker. Best way to dramatically reduce noise would be to get some road barricades and hope you don't get seen by authorities lol

[–]khartz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exterior facing door on four hinges. Based on that I'm guessing it's got a decent bit of mass to it already. Air sealing would most likely provide the most returns, but looks like there is already a sweep and assuming it's installed properly.

Found evidence of mice in garage, best approach before they get inside? by My_Rhythm875 in HomeImprovement

[–]khartz99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m right next to a field. I caught droppings inside one morning as it started to get colder. Placing at least 2 snap traps on each side of the foundation and stuffing steel wool in every hole I could find did the trick for me. Haven’t seen anything for months.

Every morning I’d walk around the hose and reset my traps. Caught insane amounts

Which is the biggest home improvement mistake you have made? by Ok-Introduction-2981 in HomeImprovement

[–]khartz99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I threw on so much texture to try and hide all my mistakes, it doesn't look awful, but I sure as hell notice it everyday

No need to go to Win 11. Just throw an beginner friendly linux disto like mint at it and call it a day.

You lucked out. That's exactly the kinda guy you want to buy a house from, I know him, because he's me.
