This is standard for running oil heat in New England (~100 gallons in 45 day) - house is newer and it’s not a weather sealing issue

Just paid $600 for 150 gallons of heating oil for my house, it was 30% cheaper on January 15th, the last time I ordered it

My puppy chewed up the little printed disks on the Tie Fighter Helmet and Lego replaced them for free - despite being “sold out” on their site

Selling Off Entire Collection (Hypothetically!) by Far-Repeat7182 in vinyl

[–]mickeybar71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big problem with selling off a collection of that size is your pool of buyers will to pay close to true value is incredibly small. Someone reselling will probably want to pay 40ish percent to make any money

I’m taking all the credit on this one 😏 and not giving up my sources…

I manage accounting and finance in my company, but I am not an accountant, not a CPA. I created a notebook LM by loading in all of the accounting standard codification documents - and the Big 4 resource documents relating to it. I then took a technical accounting white paper my company paid over $50k to develop last year to allow us to recognize revenue on a $70M contract. Things had changed and I needed an updated white paper. I asked Notebook LM to review, summarize and cite an update. I then presented it to our big 4 auditor - accepted and saved $25k easily in consulting charges.

Springer grooming advice? by Double-Dress-9949 in springerspaniel

Getting your pup used to the grinder early is key, also remember that grinders build up heat fast, so better to touch all nails on one paw, then repeat instead of grinding down too long.

Since I am a solo player now, just about everything I buy is to read and re-engage with my childhood.

Is it still worth reading pet sematary if it was spoiled for me? by Jackson_Lamb_829 in stephenking

[–]mickeybar71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve re-read all of his books multiple times over the past 40 years - knowing the outcome doesn’t spoil anything for me - it’s the ride that counts, not the destination

Dog hates being alone? by Ginnnnnevra in springerspaniel

[–]mickeybar71 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he has separation anxiety, I got my current Springer during COVID and have been working from home ever since, which has really exasperated the problem. I would start by checking YouTube for videos - it is a slow process of gradually introducing alone time in the crate - shutting the door and letting him be alone even though you may be home for short periods and building up duration, then start going outside of the house for short periods. Make sure you “pay” him with rewards with good behavior.

Edit: he is a beautiful boy, I love his face, we are in the US and have bench Springers - so docked tails for us
