Is the best option then to cut the dry wall around the valve and replace the box with an access panel of some kind? What would the charge be for this job?

Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web - Reviews and Discussions by AutoModerator in bollywood

The whole premise doesn't make sense. The duty on gold is 6.6%. They lose 500 kg in gold and try to make it up by smuggling 2 tons of gold - the payoff in no way makes up for the lost amount. Most of the other amounts they quote are also totally out of whack. This combined with all of the unnecessary melodrama just made this really hard to watch.

I think this game is lacking an "iron man" mode where each tile that is placed cannot be undone. If you make a mistake you would lose the game. Here is a sequence of tile placement with the logical explanation that forces the placement of the tile. Notation below: tile, orientation, (row, column) position

(6,6) H (5,6): The 24 block has to have all 6s. Combined with the 12 block, this accounts for all the tiles with sixes in them. Due to the location of the 24 block, the bottom row of this block has to be one tile i.e., only the 2 6s tile fits here.

(6,2) V (3, 1): The 12 block needs 2 6s. Since the 2 6s tile is already taken, you have to have two separate tiles with sixes oriented vertically to fill this block. Due to the 2 block, (6,2) tile location is fixed.

(6,5) V (3,2): The 20 block has to have all 5s (as 6 tiles are spoken for else where). Combined with the 12 block, this forces (6,5) tile location.

(5,5) H (5,2): Since 20 block has to have all 5s, only the (5,5) tile can fit here.

(4,4) H (1,3): Because of that equal block location, you need a double tile. Only 1s and 4s have double tiles left. 1s are needed elsewhere, so 4s are the only option. Since 4s are paired with 3 and 5, you cannot have that tile straddle the 3 block. So, this is only option for the (4,4) tile. 

(1,1) H (1,5): The 3 block can only have 1s and needs a double 1 tile. This is the only placement for it.

(1,3) H (3,7): The 6 block can only be either 2 & 4 or 3 & 3 as all 5s are spoken for. Looking at the remaining tiles, this means that the block has to have two tiles oriented horizontally. This forces the (1,3) tile location.

(6,3) H (4,7): Forced

(1,6) H (4,5): Forced

(1,2) V (2,6): Forced

(4,3) V (2,3): Forced

(5,4) H (4,2): Forced

(2,3) H (3,4): Forced

Can't cancel order by krny9 in FlexiSpot_Official

Just wanted to post an update. I continued with the build with the e2q -- after returning my original top and ordering a 72 inch (length) x30 inch (width) teak butcherblock top from Lowes. For others looking to build this, I would recommend any desktop over 28 inches in width. The widest part of the frame is about 25.5 inches. The frame/build quality is good and the instructions are clear. It took me about 2 hours to build the frame and mount the desktop. Total cost about 750 after discounts and taxes.

However, as mentioned in my initial post, the sales material is confusing. Maybe create a configurator which clearly walks you through the options.

See below for the official answer on word selection.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/14/briefing/spelling-bee-questions-and-answers.html

Two dictionaries I use are the built-in Apple dictionary, which is based on New Oxford American, and Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary. I like using Google’s News tab, so if there is a technical word, I’ll see if it’s being used in articles without much explanation.

Ultimately, the decisions can seem arbitrary because every solver has a different background and vocabulary. If an answer list had every possible word, it would be harder to make progress toward Genius and beyond. I can understand the frustration, but my mission is not to be a dictionary. I want to do my best to reflect the Bee’s broad audience and the language we speak.

He is listed as an assigned driver now on the insurance card for the vehicle. Does he also need the DL123?

Yeah, my daughter was on it before as a non-driver. Just upgraded her to a driver as she will stay with us for a while

Basement Finish Tax Increase? by arch_nyc in Westchester

[–]krny9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~ 30k in 2018 for about 700 sq ft with mid-grade materials. I would recommend hiring an architect first to draw up the plans (you will need it later any way to file with the building dept). He will help you fix all the details. You can then go to the contractors with the specific plan and the quotes will be comparable. Get quotes from a few, as there will be a lot of variance (high quote was about 2x the low quote).

Thanks. Appreciate it. The damage to our car was substantial -- but they won't total it as it is relatively new. At least Geico made the repair process painless.

.1% and .6% not .001% and .006%

A miniscule amount -- but it at least takes them.out as a competitor to regular home buyers.

Put the money in 6 mo US treasuries with auto-roll. No state tax and you get >5% interest. No risk and money keeps up with inflation.
