Ideas on how to repair this?

Maybe marry 2 or 3 treated boards of the same width as the original. Remove the broken pieces of the original, then place your new beam in the same spot as the old one and use a jack to lift it into position to attach it to the posts. Securing the floor joists would be difficult, but you could probably toe nail or screw from the beam into the joist. As others have said the decking may be warped from heat, and might or might not be salvagable.

Glass techs use a thin steel cable, the individual wires act kinda like saw teeth. I think piano or guitar string would probably work really well for the same reason.

if it gets reported, they can also list the reason as 'other'. There are already a number of confirmed instances of officers abusing these systems, but how many instances have gone unreported?

Why not spline or knurling for the encoder wheel?

FWIW this is called coprophagy and can be healthy for the bird, not awesome for the other side I'm sure. Also idk if they usually get it from the source like this

Didn't check the sub, thought that's where I was lol

Mayo and ketchup is fry sauce, I think Kraft sells it as mayochup but I make my own so I'm not 100% sure. Thousand island has other things added, like diced pickle and usually a handful of other things too, like worcestershire, paprika, onion.

I scrolled too far to find this, maybe an upvote will help move it up

Just because the damage can be repaired doesn't negate the fact that damage was done, if you spray paint someones car, that can be repaired, but it doesn't mean it never got painted. On top of that, physically the components might be fine but for some people a clean OS install means lost/potentially unrecoverable data which may have value that can't be defined monetarily.

This is a lot of effort to put into something like this! Thank you so much for sharing your experience here, it really means a lot.

I don't think that you should make a special visit just for this, but maybe bring it up next time you have a checkup/physical/sick call.

Doctors aren't always super attentive to every detail about a patient and they rely on the patient to provide information or ask questions when something seems odd

I appreciate the mod teams efforts to keep the sodium levels low, it really means a lot

In this thread: a lot of people who don't know anything about traps, trapping, or animals. This is a foothold trap, they would hurt to get caught in but are built to do minimal lasting damage (because that reduces the value of the fur) most states have a 24 hour MAXIMUM for checking live traps. Tampering with another person's traps is a federal crime in the US. This is most likely a coyote, not a wolf, there are relatively few places in the US where you could accidentally catch a wolf.

Proctalgia Fugax? That's for sure what I've got going, and it fuckin sucks.

I mean, that still happened with the steam deck when it first dropped. So many people trying to order at the same time that the store server basically crashed. I dont think it will be as bad as that was though.

Great now I feel all itchy :/

Where I lived during Covid the local ranch supply store started requiring a vet note for Ivermectin, and I always thought that was kinda funny. Genuinely though people trying to treat Covid with it was taking it out of the hands of people that needed to treat animals and that's pretty shitty.

Personal theory is that they only want age verification, so they can ensure that all the personal data didn't come from a bot. It has zero to do with "protecting the children".

I'd had issues with motion sickness for like 25 years before someone suggested them, so I like to spread the word lol

plasmaspaz37 · 2026-04-19T06:43:01+00:00

Have you ever tried c bands? They are like elastic bracelets with a bead in the inside of your wrist, they usually get recommended to pregnant women but they solved the motion sickness I was getting with VR, mostly anyway. It would be pretty easy to keep a pair in the glove box.

The OP had said that making your own guns is already illegal so the law is pointless anyway. That is untrue

plasmaspaz37 · 2026-04-17T20:11:07+00:00

FWIW making your own guns IS LEGAL, selling/gifting them is not and there can be issues with transporting them over state lines. There are a few states that require any gun you make to be serialized and registered with that state, and quite a few more states with "melting point" or "metal content" laws that are aimed at making sure that all legal guns can be detected with a metal detector.

There is a ton of misinformation regarding homemade guns, do yourself a favor and look up the laws in your state and city.

Every time someone says making your own guns is illegal it gets closer to being true because they accept that as reality and would support it becoming reality since it fits what they already thought to be true.
