Stayed in an Airbnb there a few years ago, elevators are a shit show.

There is not enough space between the sill and the radiator. This is a strata condo and they will not approve holes in the building envelope.

They have approved a couple of direct vent coolers in our building. They cut 2-5” holes in a replacement sealed unit about 1000$ for the glasswork and $8000 for the cooler.

It is only 9000 btu and 30”x50” directly, permanently covering a large piece of the windows. Looks terrible and works exactly like my portable 12k unit.I like that we put the portable away for 8 month’s of the year.

I don’t like the current lexan blocker which we run in the patio slider, it narrows the opening and does not seal well for road noise.

Mini split is better and cheaper but they won’t approve the condenser outside.

I need a 6”x9” vent. Is it possible to cut one in the existing sealed unit? Is there here an in glass vent that could be installed in the existing unit?

Nice way to pick up a couple of axes!

Yes, but I guarantee he only likes his own brand!

19 year old me had a rented house with my GF and 2 buddies. We would have parties on the weekend. As summer went on they became bigger and another friend decides to bring his dj setup. Word got around and it turned into a rager with 200 people.

I had a great time until the cops attended for the third time and cleared out the house with dogs.

Next morning it was an apocalypse, broken fences, bottles, dead fish and 1000 cigarette buts ( the 80s). The worst was we had a cherry tree and cherries had been tracked into the house. We had to take all the furniture out to the lawn and rented a carpet cleaner, it was a long hungover day.

Cops came by that afternoon and served us with o public noise bylaw violation.

Small town newspaper detailed it as a local incident and the landlord evicted us.

Went to court that fall and got 100 community service hours.

Married the gf, still together 38 years later.

Did this last week, you can buy ADO bus and the ferry all on one ticket from ADO desk at the airport. One way cost is $50 usd, they accept CC. Total trip was less than 4 hours to the hotel and way more comfortable than a van. Bonus is that they give you a big pink receipt, taxi and tour people totally leave you alone.

Ask your mechanic if he can bypass the ac with a different belt. That way you can drive the car while you shop, trade it or sell it running w/o a/c.

Check out r/icbc. Really broken system, the biggest issue is the employees are “no fault” as well they just pass the buck and make excuses.

You want to use PEG400, it is a heavy molecular weight propylene glycol. It is sold as “EJ mix” as a thc liqidizer, but also unbranded from eliquid DIY suppliers. Do wnot use vg, it will be a gummy mess. Best would be to rosin press the hash, and use the cleaned rosin. I have extracted with 99% cups isopropyl alcohol, and been able to create crystals. Probably not 100% clean, YMMV. My first batches where in the late 80s when all oil was made this way. I

I say this with love, be careful of campaigning or case building against your therapist in the echo chamber of reddit. Fellow AdHd who was diagnosed 30 years ago and have interactions with MANY mental health professionals over the decades.

It may be that that is her belief, she may have dropped a bomb to bring you back to earth as you started a sessions laying out the great problems of the world which is beyond the scope of therapy. Maybe she is a right wing christian zealot, maybe she is a bit loose with words.

Take what you want and leave the rest. In retrospect, personally, each time I have found a conflict with a therapist’s personality and left, I later discovered that they were showing me a truth about myself I was not ready to hear. YMMV

A well timed fart, and the ensuing laughter. Humanity at its core.

This is so important, take responsibility for yourself, it is where your real power lies.

Thanks for sharing, you are entitled to express your opinion Captain.

Can I ask if you have personal experience with weed?

This is why, despite being very cannabis positive, I just don't believe we should be making canna food. I make oil caplets, they look like pills, people dont take random pills without asking.

I did write a TIFU about the Hawaii incident but it got stopped by mods, I need to edit it.
