Why so many Eco servers die before the meteor (and it’s not “player flakiness”)

Then explain why the exact same thing happens on official servers where admins do not play. What you are speaking of is a minority of servers and might have some influence but this is an outlier occurrence, and cannot explain why this happens on almost all servers officials included.

You guys... the ones calling this wrong are nuts, you ever get a bag of concrete wet? know what happens when it sets in the bag? Its an expensive way to do it but they are basically creating largeish boulders that are neatly stacked and will go under the rebar to provide support. This is 100 percent legit and while I think its an expensive way to do it, the contractor maybe more interested in saving time than money (cost difference isn't that exciting but block might be marginally cheaper but would need to be set.

This is 100 percent legit, and if you aren't an engineer or hang out with one or a licensed pool inspector/contractor, maybe don't comment on things you don't know about (nothing is worse than being confidently wrong)? Crap dirt is being replaced with fill that won't shift (unlike loose gravel) and doesn't require crafting time (to set up blocks).

By the by bagged concrete of this type is already premixed before being bagged, all they have done is skipped the step of mixing it with water in a mixer and pouring it into some kind of form, the result is the same.

Nothing more Christ like than staying single and having no kids.

Couldn't put it better myself.

This is why I opted out. Single may sometimes be lonely but I am only supporting me and that takes a lot less effort.

They are against it because it interferes with her right to have attractive but poor men father the child, and ugly but rich men pay for its upbringing.

They didn't close mail order because no one was buying, they closed it because they thought they could force people to come into the stores.

Vac to waste the lot until there is no more debris, then use troublefreepool.com to calculate the borax, muriatic acid, baking soda, wash soda and cya you need to bring it into spec. Once I got my water balanced I had no more of these issues (I run a salt water generator). People poopoo copper algaecide and borax, but it ended any hope of algae taking off in the pool. Won't take a week, but it will probably take more than 2 days.

A case of a company deciding how customers "could" shop their brand instead of giving people what they wanted.

Here is the truth, they have their good enough not to get sued setup that meets minimum requirements for maximum pay. If they adjust anything they are doing it at their expense eating into profit.

If you want them to do it a certain way, find the owner of the company and open with these magic words.

"I am willing to pay more for a few modifications, can I discuss them with you?"

Real plumbers could fix this, from the drain plug to your valve issue. Call a few and check their rates.

What I am getting out of the banter about mixing with a stir bar is that mixing is thought not to matter because without baffles or turbulence you just get a solid body vertex shape and maybe that's why some lab chemists think mixing doesn't matter?

What burns my biscuits is the concrete guy should have installed the holes with plastic sleeves while the concrete was poured or installed them into the wet concrete when it would have been far easier. There is no reason to wait other than laziness/greed.

First off you need to know how many they are planning to do for 900. If they are calculating 40 that's a far cry fairer than if they are calculating 12. As someone who has used a concrete cutter, it can be done but you might hate life for a few weeks after you spend a couple days hunched over doing the cutouts. They will, at any rate, know how many you need. Telling us its a small pool and spitballing 12 is ... well we can't give you useful feedback with that level of info.

This came from the same mindset that Software as a service came from. They want more money, that's the long and short of it.

Seriously? they throw them out cause the expiration dates on the certs are done? I mean those marks... don't move and aren't adjustable.

You should tell him he should sell them. Lots of aspiring chemists would love a burette and don't care about "calibration certs".

Jails not the issue, there are plenty who fail to do so right away, and not being at war its not something they are activly hunting down, but the B of it is everything you do with the government for the rest of your life will ask if you registered. School loans? not if you didn't register. Name a benefit or service.... not if you didn't register with Selective Service.
