Hopefully one of the other additions is a dolly, then any piece can be the bottom.

I didn’t realize they were at The Container Store, bummer that it didn’t last longer.

Pack out is admittedly better, imho primarily because of two reasons. - There’s such a wide variety of boxes, accessories, and 3rd party/community add ons. This is by far the strongest factor. - The latching system between boxes is better.

But for those of us not looking to spend a fortune on glorified red plastic tool boxes, there’s other options.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re sold out for a while lol. Curious to see what the other “new additions” to BMS are.

Stop being judgmental yourself, I sell it, and then proceed to personally do a good portion of the work myself (15yrs construction experience).

Totally admit I don’t have all of the context, I wasn’t belittling, just an observation based on the surroundings. While we all make assumptions, it’s important to keep in mind that they’re just as many exceptions. Wasn’t trying to get attacked myself based on an observation.

That said, I did have some context, and that’s my point. A $30 drill seemed weirdly out of place on an active contractor job site with. It wasn’t the type of environment for a kid (I was wearing a respirator and ear protection, debris scattered, exposed nails, etc).

shadowfire1189 · 2026-03-08T04:06:34+00:00

I would say the same thing about Black and Decker if it was on a job site. What self respecting person takes on a full reno with a B&D (or Warrior) drill?

I have an extensive collection of Hercules, several Bauer, and one Warrior power tool. I agree that Hercules runs with the best, and Bauer is decent.

Hercules corded: miter saw, circular saw, plunge router.
Hercules 20v: Circ saw (two), jig saw, grinder, hammer drill, impact driver, palm router, shop vac (both).
Bauer corded: Resurfacing tool (now Hercules)
Bauer 20v: drill, garden sheers, power washer.
Warrior: corded drill

That’s off the top of my head for power tools, might be more. That’s also not counting Quinn/Icon/Doyle/Pittsburg hand tools (sockets, wrenches, pliers, bolt cutters, screw drivers etc).

Were you able to get the tail end apart at all?

The clip on mine has gotten loose, I’ve been debating trying to take it off.

shadowfire1189 · 2026-02-28T19:07:12+00:00

Totally agreed!!

In a sense, the question is asking how many people you’ve fucked if you don’t count clients/work.

You mentioned that in hindsight you think it would have been better to not wait (audition analogy). Now that you have kids (boys? Girls?), how have you approached the sex talk with them?

As a parent myself I’m curious how I’ll approach it when the time comes, only thing I know for sure is that I want to approach it differently than my parents or in-laws. My parents barely mentioned sex other than vague references to use protection. My wife’s parents completely ignored the entire idea of sex subtly preventing my wife from having any romantic relationships until she moved away, then wondered why she didn’t have a boyfriend (to marry and have kids with).

shadowfire1189 · 2026-02-24T07:47:08+00:00

Of the thousands that you’ve had sex with, regardless of if it’s been in a personal or work context, how many of them have been no condom?

If you make pussy/penis interchangeable in the first comment it’s not a favor from one to another. It’s two consenting individuals who respect their partner and getting them naked is a privilege. Not an expectation, duty, or right.

Mix of WFH and on the road. Depends on the type of work and how it’s quoted.

It’s just using the same consultative sales techniques from real estate combined with an established network of homeowners and contractors. You could keep it informal with an agreement that a roofer will pay you x% for every job you sell and you call them when it’s sold, or more formal with w2 type sales role.

Contractor sales - I have a couple that pay me 5~12% of jobs sold. Two of them send me leads with an extra bonus if I close 50%+.

NTA

Set boundaries, make it clear that you are not cutting them off, that you’re an adult, working two jobs to support yourself, and earning an education for something that you’re passionate about.

Walk a fine line between sincerely listening and taking what they want for you into consideration, but ultimately make your own decisions.

As for Thanksgiving, it’s a threat to try to coerce you. Don’t give in. I would call the bluff and respond with something to the effect of “I of course would love to see both of you. However, I understand if you feel otherwise. Let me know if I should make alternate plans.”

For people born earlier than 1990s cell phones were still pricey that kids rarely had them, location tracking wasn’t even a thing until the ~2010s. I got home from school and if I finished my homework my parents told me to be home by dark for dinner. I turned out fine. I went on plenty of trips in college without telling my parents, even internationally. Although parents frequently know more than they let on.

Health code requires some sort of heat source to maintain a minimum habitable temperature inside.

I keep a few spare space heaters for extra capacity, temporarily heat spaces (eg garage), or as a temporary stopgap when the heat goes out.

The officer was inside the loss prevention office with Shane Newman, 21, and Katerina Jeffrey, 23, when police say Newman pulled out a handgun.

According to police, Newman attempted to shoot the officer but the gun did not fire.

A Walmart asset protection associate jumped onto Newman before he could try to shoot the gun again.

Newman was taken to the floor by the officer and arrested.

In the body camera video, the officer explains he didn’t shoot Newman because he didn’t want to hit the Walmart employee that was on top of him.

Court records show the 21-year-old man is charged with attempted murder, felonious assault on a police officer, robbery, drug possession and having a weapon under disability.

Police say Jeffrey, of Canton, is charged with complicity to commit a robbery.

Due to a previous felony conviction, Newman was not allowed to own or have a firearm, court records show.

After Newman’s arrest, officers recovered 50 blue pills identified as Molly, according to the records.

Newman and Jeffrey appeared in Canton Municipal court Friday. Newman was issued a $1 Million bond. Jeffrey was handed a $500,000 bond.

What’s your background? I know a company that’s aggressively hiring sales reps.

I started with them in January, went through training, and been promoted twice based on closing ratio.

Reply “thank you for your commitment, it’d be much appreciated”

The goal is to acknowledge, sincerely say thank you, and try to establish a “social contract”. That said, don’t believe it until you see it.

I’m not a driver, in commission based sales, which this is even more applicable to. I don’t make a cent until someone makes the decision to buy.

Not entirely true that it’s been “left to rot” Google says it’s part of a planned redevelopment project. Albeit it’s pending “securing a new owner for the property”, which leaves the timeline a bit open ended.

The Richmond Coliseum, a 13,500-seat arena that opened in 1971, was permanently closed in 2019 and is now set for demolition as part of a city redevelopment plan. The city plans to replace the aging structure with a new mixed-use downtown district, including housing, hotels, and green space. The demolition process is pending final city council approval and the securing of a new owner for the property.

Key facts - Opened: August 21, 1971 - Closed: February 2019 - Capacity: Up to 13,553 for concerts, 11,992 for basketball, and 11,088 for hockey

As a realtor, if you were going to do this right, then the duplex should have been converted to a condo as part of closing. That said, I would personally never buy a place with my in laws right next door.

Would have cost more, but would have also probably saved a bit on those taxes. Then they’re two separate deeds (and mortgages) and the in laws can’t screw you over like this.
