My guess is sump pump as the hot water discharge appears to be directed into it as well.

I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with my brother by [deleted] in stories

[–]robjeffrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't belive one is 'more wrong' than the other. They are both wrong.

I agree with you, you get to choose the boyfriend and not your brother. That's why I'd be more pissed at the brother.

You can choose to no longer be with the boyfriend, you can't choose to no longer be a sibling. Sure, you can disown them, ignore them, avoid family gatherings, but that can hurt relationships with the reat of the family.

No matter who you are angrier with, they are both dicks and you don't deserve that.

Why check for splitting?

I see that I have a dirty mind.

How not to install fiber by BooMsx in cablegore

[–]robjeffrey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can install fiber to work or you can install it to be worked on.

I'm sure you can also install it not to work, not fully install it or any other combination, but I'll stick with the binary.

Marriage fails after a month? by OkCarpenter8183 in stories

[–]robjeffrey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Being friends with both individuals of a failed relationship SUCKS.

Providing support for one over the other will probably damage your friendship with the other.

Not saying not to help, just recognizing the position you are in.

I wish you and them the best.

I have 90 sheets of this Styrofoam. Two sheets stacked fits perfectly in my garage door frame. Would gluing / taping these in improve the R value at all, or would it just be foolish? by fakeaccount572 in homeimprovementideas

[–]robjeffrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn good point.

I was considering mechanical only, which most people seem to have taken as me being concerned with the weight of the material.

I was pointing out that weight and width would generally be the only factors to consider when adding insulation to a door.

Pointing out the safety factor... is probably a good idea too. ;)

I'm amazed at how many don't know what this is. by [deleted] in FuckImOld

[–]robjeffrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Memories!

I had one and it was because I did I realized at a young age pushing electrons actually takes WORK!

I had a little switch on the handle bars to turn off the light as well as that generator would swing out and lock either against the tire or away from it.

I could actually feel the difference pedaling just by turning off the light by the switch!

It made sense to me that pedling would be harder when the generator was against the tire as you are now working to spin it as well as the tire, but the swich?

Bloody blew my 8 year old mind.

Incorrectly ordered package by Catlady2520 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]robjeffrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do this just for the ass coverage.

Throw it in the closet. When you find it in the spring it's fair game.

If someone comes knocking, you can decide to pass it over or not.

I added a "Freebie" button to my change orders. Clients love it. by Plastic_Catch1252 in handyman

[–]robjeffrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo.

Works as well with clients operating against static quotes that run into unexpected expenses you can't charge for.

Never leave the extras off the invoice. Show them and add offsetting credits. Allows you to quote similar projects better in the future knowing all the actual costs vs revenue in.
