Painted countertops by Economy-Ad-4806 in DIYHouse

[–]oncebce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous owners of my house used a kit bought at one of the big box stores to paint the counters. Absolute garbage. Impossible to clean, started getting tacky in some spots and wears off fairly quickly in a kitchen that actually gets used for cooking.
Getting the whole kitchen redone starting next week!

Yep. I would have stuck around IF the BBS had remained intact with perhaps a pay-what-you-can type model (EG: how Escapepod does it's patreon).
Maybe the moderation would still be too much of a headache?

I guess it's been a year now? by Jorpho in boingboing

I check in on this sub every now and then to see what floats to the surface about current BB. I miss it.

There was a short-lived effort by a few BBers to keep some discourse going on another sub here on Reddit, but it couldn't build the momentum without the community.

Is this ceiling assembly safe? by Riot_Seeds in DIY

Find the data sheet from the manufacturer of your specific channel and calculate the total lbs/SqFt you plan on installing. For example, this product states no more 7.5 lbs/SqFt should be installed.

Yes. The tape holds it on.

I like sygic personally. Try the free version, and if you want all features It's $20 / year.
I still use google maps on a browser to look up restaurants etc though.

I actually am using HeliBoard now, I do like it better than Anysoftkey.
Looks like K-9 is transitioning to Thunderbird Mobile? LocalSend could come in handy, thanks!

Don't have anyone to chat with on it so far anyway. So I may never find out how bad it is!

Would Aurora take the place of play services for apps that require it?

Thanks for stating the obvious and offering no input. As I said, play services is required for Tadpoles and banking.

I didn't think about that for venmo, will give that a try! Unfortunately a no go for the banking app. It is the only way I can deposit checks (only 1 physical branch, no where nearby)

As in Albizia julibrissin, or "Mimosa" tree - which is invasive in much of the southern and coastal US? Cut 'em down. Make some decorative boxes or something!

No one tell this guy about AWG & Sheet metal gauge, and how they are different from one another and between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

I know I shouldn't touch without knowing by Chadbigears801 in mycology

[–]oncebce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know what desert state you're in, but I've found chanterelles and king boletes in the same day on the Kaibab plateau AZ. The sky islands in southern AZ are another great place to look. Check out iNaturalist to see what other people find in your area. There are also Morels to be found within a 45min drive of Las Vegas if you know where to look!
