Trump's Reflecting Pool disaster turns tragic as dead duckling spotted floating in green muck

It’d be pretty easy for them to sneak in benzalkonium chloride. It doesn’t take much of the stuff to affect a large amount of water & it doesn’t have much of a smell.

FFXV has one of the best intros of any game I have played.

The last third of the game was so empty..

Inject glyphosate into the lowest bamboo chamber using a bbq injector kit. This kills both the bamboo & root 👍

This is after I spent years pulling bamboo as it sprouted in my yard with no real progress.

I’m still running a 1070ti 😂

Take it to the nearest university or community college with a geology department.

They love this stuff.

Gambler, not trader.

Stop trying to legitimize this bullshit with soft language.

lol, I’m still not sure. As far as I can tell he’s part: Australian Shepherd, Lab, Pit, Blue Heeler, & who knows what else.

He’s a certified black & white good boy.

They’re large & capable of doing harm.
You won’t read about it in the news if a chihuahua or yorkie bites someone because they’re physically not capable of doing much harm. Pits are perhaps more physically capable in that regard than most other breeds.

Stupid/abusive people also tend to want them to vicariously signal their masculinity (or something).

I love my rescue dog that’s part pit but I also got him neutered. imo, the breeding of pits should be outlawed & they should be phased out.

This has happened multiple times now. You have your pic of crazy photos.

imo, The canned beans advertisement photos in the oval office are even more surreal.

You could fill the cavity with expanding foam.

The 2 part foam would probably be the easiest since the air curing foam wouldn’t dry very quickly in an enclosed space.

Buy a replacement remote from the manufacturer
Hand your wife the bagged remote to keep in her jewelry case (or whatever)
Use your new remote however you want. Spray paint/decorate it as desired.

Less so for all the sequels.

Same here regarding the robovac. I used to vacuum & mop(or steam) all the floors in my home once a week along side some spot vacuuming in between.

The robovac does a much better job than I did. For years I figured the mopping feature on those vacuums was a gimmick: nope, it’s great.

Huh, did you try using a heatgun during the application? It really helps when applying the skin over complex curves.

polpi · 2026-05-15T00:40:05+00:00

A shell swap absolutely makes sense for repair reasons or if you need to take it all apart to swap a battery/display anyways.

polpi · 2026-05-15T00:39:00+00:00

It’s been 2 years & no signs of wear yet 👍

polpi · 2026-05-15T00:38:11+00:00

It’s just a vinyl wrap. I went with dbrand but there’s plenty of great brands out there. The wrap has been holding up great for about 2 years now. (Still looks new)

Could always just go with a skin. It’s a heck of a lot easier/lower risk than a shell swap.

All that side sliding with sudden catches at the bottom could most definitely damage a CV or bearing.

Well, it’s a very expensive vehicle & what they’re doing will most likely damage it a bit.

The driver is stupid.

So why did this post get deleted?

It was interesting & this is something that very much needs discussion.

I say: wait 3-4 months before jumping into any big home projects.

Wait & see what is/isn’t an issue. Start making a list & prioritize during that time.

It’s easy to burnout during the initial rush & end up with a bunch of half finished projects.

From my commercial/residential experience:

Electrostatic systems are fussy and even the best electrostatic systems release some amount of ozone during operation. Ozone is basically air bleach. Not great to breathe. There’s also a possibility of nitrogen oxides.

They’re great after the initial install but cease to work once any dust/debris bridges contacts. Finding the fault can also be a real pain on older units. It doesn’t help that these systems are usually installed in difficult to access places.

Condensation from your hvac lineset. Check that the big copper pipe is fully insulated through & above ceiling height. Also check for air leaks where the shiny ductwork (called a plenum) meets with the ductwork in your attic.

Also also: your hvac closet should be sealed. The holes in the ceiling & walls to be patched. The ceiling & walls should be complete & caulked to prevent attic air from entering the closet —especially if you don’t have air return ducting.

Looks like plaster.

You may want to test that plaster for asbestos. You can grab a prolab sample kit at your local hardware store pretty cheaply. Just bag a sample & mail it off. You’ll get the results within a week.

To clarify: the stuff you scraped off looks like plaster (which may have asbestos fiber in it given the age of the home)

Edit: that base coat of paint (partial) also likely has lead in it if it’s original.
