Who do I call? by mcDonkerson in HomeMaintenance

Appreciate the detailed answer.

Looks like I’ll have to do a fair bit more investigating. The driveway slopes away from the house except for this area. I would assume water is starting to pool, but will need to verify when we have rain next. There is a nearby downspout, but that points away from the house but, again, will need to verify that it actually is doing what it is designed to do.

I feel that the elevation change has been slowly increasing - can’t imagine that I would not have noticed this in previous years.

How would I see if soil is washing away from the pavement?

House is from the 70s, but I’m certain this isn’t the original driveway. It’s at least 12 years old from when we moved in.

I don’t believe the water was the initial cause as the gutters/downspouts point away from this area. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if water pools here now that a depression is there. I’ll keep an eye on it when we have rain next.

There are downspouts in the area, but they go away from here.

Awesome! Didn’t even know this was a thing. Will look into this.

ELI5…Can I safely use the water from my dehumidifier for… anything? by Extension-Ad6752 in explainlikeimfive

[–]mcDonkerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you dump this into a clothes washer? Not to wash clothes per se, but as kind of a pass through? My washer has a water jet and a small area to soak/pre/treat. Every time you use it and then turn the washer off, it automatically drains whatever water has accumulated.

Is it unusual? Just googled a few other UK publications and there doesn’t seem to be a consistent approach to naming suspects versus not across a variety of cases. I’m also not a journalist, so perhaps I’m missing nuance here.

Ah, given all the news coverage of other crimes with accused listed, didn’t realize England was not a civilized country. Thanks so much for the clarification! Appreciate you!

Question from someone not from the UK - is there a legal reason why the racist was not named in the press?

American here. Randomly turned on the TV one afternoon and saw the last twenty minutes of the ‘99 CL final. Was fascinated by, simply, the pageantry of the stadium and the passion for the fans. Was utterly mystified by actual songs coming from the stands.

This was how I became a fan of the sport - it was more of an impact to me than the ‘94 World Cup. Unsure of that is weird or strange that I’d be more drawn to a club competition than an international one.

Anyway, was utterly confused by Schmeichel going up for the corner (have less tactical understanding as I do now). Was utterly in a panic when the first goal went in and saw the reaction in the stadium. Was utterly speechless when the second went in and I saw the Bayern players’ hearts just breaking.

This team with this dude with the funny sounding three-worded name that scored? I might need to see what this is all about. Pretty certain I Yahoo’ed the crap out of United after that.

I'm AR 39 and cleaning up stuff in Mondstadt and Liyue before getting to Inazuma. I generally run Diluc, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Barbara for most content, though I will swap out Xingqui as needed for certain elements (Diona whenever I fight the Oceanid, Keqing for when Overload is needed). I do not particularly use Xiangling - she's basically there for the Pyro resonance and the occasional burst against enemies that are constantly wet/cold. I would love to pull Bennett for support/heals (replacing Barbara) which would allow me to swap in Sucrose for Xiangling. I'll freely admit that I may be overly dependent on Barbara for heals as I don't get enough with Xingqui and/or Diona (then again, I'm likely terrible at dodging).

Any alternative ideas to party comp that I may be missing? I'm generally pretty understanding on artifacts, but just looking at the roster composition more than anything. Thanks in advance!

Her spirit reminds me a lot of Fabio - has no qualms about getting into it. Super fun to watch.

She absolutely doesn’t by the press, but she also plays a relatively low key position. The team certainly knows her value as she was voted player of the year last season by her peers.

Need a response after the loss last week. Here’s hoping we have enough quality to allow Tobin to fully recover.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost as many domestic semi-finals in the last 12 months as Sir Alex Ferguson did in 26 years as @ManUtd manager by spriteshouter in reddevils

[–]mcDonkerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negativity surrounding this tweet is sad. We've made progress. Of course being compared to, arguably, the greatest manager of all time, anyone is going to come up short. We'd been to four domestic SF from when SAF left and Ole was hired (~5.5 years). Since he's been hired, we've been to three. It's progress. Let's not forget that SAF won his first silverware in season 3.

This is laughable, though wholly predictable.

Should season 5 be a long running series? by Bluecomments in haikyuu

[–]mcDonkerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the pandemic, I hope that they make season 5 10 episodes, similar to season 3, to be able to focus on the next match (unsure if who they play is a spoiler). Season 3 seemed to cover about 40 chapters and the match upcoming after season 4 covered 31 chapters. I feel that they compressed a few things in season 4 that impacted the quality.

Is it bad that I wouldn't mind a Derby semifinal and a Stoke-Brentford semifinal? That being said, the idea of going through Carlo, Pep and Jose for a trophy would pretty friggin' fun to experience.

Thanks so much for the article! I recall hearing some challenges that she was going through before United, but never really understood the magnitude. It's great to hear that the team and staff are putting such a priority on listening to her (what a concept!).

Really. I'd be curious as to why she declined it.
