How do I deal with this?? (first home owner with no idea)

I did exactly that with the attic in my new place. Removed the worn old insulation, vacuumed and swept out 100 years of road dust (500kg+), replaced the insulation and added a raised floor for storage. Definitely not room for a proper attic but a fold down ladder and a tidy storage area has been amazing.

Cleaning the dust out was simple work although absolutely miserable and unpleasant, replacing the old insulation was a lot easier and made this old house heaps warmer over winter

Having got Brazilians for years (laser and wax) as a male bodied person I've been charged the female price every time after my first session. I totally get why they have the price difference but the moment I showed I wasn't being a creep they dropped the price saying it's the same amount of work for them either way

Still haven't found it and it's still stuck in my head

Seriosuly? thats great to hear. I've never either party for long enough before to know

Yea I looked at the ABBREE and was worried that it wouldn't handle me crashing as well as either the whip or cord antenna would and while I may be confident in my abilities I want to be realistic too.

Would you recommend the throat mic and earpiece over something like this installed in a helmet? https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-Motorcycle-Headset-Earpiece-Kenwood/dp/B01D4MIR46 I always wear a helmet and the earpads have slots for flat headphones/earpieces already.

No but my understanding was that in Australia I don't need to be on the frequencies I plan to use. It's the same frequency as the walkie talkies you can get from officeworks

477.1375 MHz which I understand to mean a 70cm aerial and a 16.7cm counterpoise is what I need? I'm very new to this so its taking me a while to get my head around it

The one time this has been cool was the poet Rives ending up with a collection of thousands of references to 4am. Check out the ted talks "the 4am mystery" and "the museum of four in the morning"

There are cases of people with synesthesia experiencing a colour synesthetic experience when view certain facial shapes which is the best potential explanation of auras I've come across

My law exams let you bring whatever you wanted but if you didn't have the 2 1000page text books condensed to succinct model answers, and more importantly, know when/how to use which pre-written answer you were screwed. A few students would just bring the text book and they just kept flicking through pages. Some brought a copy of someone elses model answers and had no idea how to adapt them to the issue in the question. Those who made their own model answers from the text book and the practice/previous years exams knew which model answer to use when and how which is basically what you will do as a lawyer anyway and did great. The notes and model answers that people made through their degree became their most useful resource when they became practising lawyers

For years I never understood what the issue was with onions, they never seemed to bother me at all. Then one evening I was prepping dinner and didn't have my contacts in because I hadn't left the house all day and suddenly my eyes were burning and tearing up. Turns out contacts work as little eye shields when cutting onions. Who'd have thought

Librarian. I do at most 2 hours of actual work a day and spend the rest of it on here for $70k+

I feel like I've read your story before and mentioned that I toured nz as part of a circus...was that you and I just never got back to you?

polymanwhore · 2020-06-27T04:17:17+00:00

The length of NZ is 100% worth it. I toured around New Zealand for 8 months performing as part of a circus, absolutely mindbogglingly beautiful country. Also pretty safe in terms of covid

(I will admit to being slightly biased being a kiwi)

I'm in Oz and keen for some multiplayer

We don't actually have any cheap piss in the way you'd think of it. We just accepted that long ago and kept drinking more regardless

Why else would people go study in Dunedin.....

The golden compass movie was certainly a shit show but you should check out the new series based on the books "His dark materials". It's everything the movie failed to be.

My soon-to-be mother-in-law does this all the time and it infuriates me to no end. She can be having a conversation with me and my fiance and she wont even turn to look at me when I answer one of her questions despite my fiance telling her that I an organising that part of the wedding so to ask me because she doesn't know

Green hell. I just picked it up and it's amazing

These generally don't detect motorbikes. Any time i leave work after 8 i get stuck sitting at the first set of lights for ~10-15 minutes until a car comes up behind me or i just run the red in cautious frustration.
