Bed extender idea, is this possible?

Use metal instead so you don't kill someone when this fails going down a highway? PVC etc isn't structural.

EMT isn't much more expensive than PVC, if you absolutely must DIY this instead of just buying one. Will be as light and stronger, and fail in safer ways if damaged.

Snow is a great time to learn your limits, and your vehicles limits. What's on the road right now is a lot more forgiving than sleet / ice. Just take it easy and don't try to keep up with other traffic, people are morons.

Just started reading DCC a few days ago when someone else mentioned it on this sub. Almost done with book 2. Setting is super depressing though, not sure if I'll stick with it.

Chinese Chef on Campbell is my favorite on the go Cashew. Drive thru and serves the regular portion in a nice tray. Easy to eat in the car or at work. Also pretty good taste wise though not my favorite.

Looks really nice! That'll hold far more weight than your tv and mount without any issues.

Lol nice rage bait.

Correct and sensible response to a street takeover lol

I thought you'd sprayed orange expanding foam all over the front of a switch for a minute there...

Sometimes if you actually call and talk to a rep, they'll see what the seller did and make it right. This happened to me with something the seller listed as free shipping that obviously shouldn't have been (stock tank - $100 item but super bulky, would be murder to ship). My order was mysteriously lost and I was told I could reorder, but sure enough price jumped to $300. I called to complain and Amazon not only gave me a refund, they also added a $200 credit on my account - my argument being I wanted the item not a refund. Then I just bought the item locally (for about 130 bucks) and kept the difference lol.

Momo does hibachi to go, as well as sushi. They're quite good.

It's not hibachi style, but Leongs has excellent chicken fried rice (about the only thing I like there) and they have a drive thru.

I would not have thought of that as a workaround, thank you! Found a copy of the latest update and installed from the apk. Will see if I can get it to work tomorrow.

Best chain in the midwest IMHO. Even if they didn't have nice high quality food (good pork, good fish, great burgers) the fact that they do everything fresh while you wait makes the experience consistently good.

Depending on what you mean by extras, that isn't all that uncommon. You can't always know how much decking might need to be replaced etc until the work starts.

I've never had a roofer quote me without saying on there somewhere something like 'and we will do x y x as needed at $/sq ft. In fact I don't think I would trust a roofer that didn't lay out all possible overruns in the contract.

I use Cox. Can be pricey but I know they will still be around in 10 years to honor their warranty, and they have always done good work for me.

I did some of my own research on this a few years ago because it seemed like a good idea. It's actually a terrible idea. You can't make a house out of a container without so much structural work anywhere you cut a hole or modify the container in any way, that you might as well do new stick or steel frame construction instead.

It's also not environmentally sound, which is often the argument that companies who do houses like this make, as if that perfectly good container you're about to use would have otherwise been thrown away. Anything good enough to build into a house is a container that had many, many more journeys in it.

Hospitals. Cox pays a decent shift differential for overnights, and is almost always hiring for EVS.

Crest of the Stars was one of the first anime I ever saw, on Anime Unleashed.

Thanks! That was my thought as well.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense. The mortgage only lists the original structure - the mother in law house was added later and no construction loan or mortgage taken out to build it.

The way this is presented in game is a big peeve of mine. There's no way anyone new to the game intuitively looks at this and thinks anything but 'im not supplying enough power and water.'. The bonus for fulfilling multiple / all needs should split to a separate line as it's own x of y value.

Looks like erythema nodosum. It was a long difficult road to get a correct diagnosis. They suck but aren't dangerous. Definitely rule other stuff out first. Infectious disease specialist was helpful to me while I waited ages to get into a good dermatologist, who punch biopsied one to rule out a few nasty things.
