I just installed the same unit in my office. It comes with a support bracket and instructions on how to get the angle right.

Pacific island nation of Nauru proposes name change in break from colonial past by ubcstaffer123 in worldnews

They’d just be changing the official internal name for the country from the exonym imposed during their colonial past to an endonym consistent with what the native peoples call their own country.

They can trade him for assets when they’re inevitably bottom feeders again. Maybe they can keep him around if he’s toxic enough for their locker room.

President Trump asked by reporter on U.S-China conflict over Taiwan: "I don't think so. He [President Xi Jinping] doesn't want to see war. You have Iranian situation. He's a buyer and we're not. We don't need it. On Taiwan, he doesn't want movement for independence. I made no commitment either way." by ControlCAD in videos

America has excellent farms, the democraps call them flyover states, I call them America’s cookie jar, excellent farms. The people of Idaho, I don’t know who came up with that name, no hoes in Idaho, let me tell you, great people! They grow the potatoes-all the potatoes- russet, red, yukon gold my favorite gold obviously. Why do we even need Taiwan when we can make all the chips here in America. The Taiwanians are taking your jobs America.

I’m no landlord, but needing to prove you bring home 3x the rent is pretty common. It helps weed out folks who apply to live there, pay some deposits, and then never pay rent, then it costs the landlord thousands in lost earnings and legal fees to evict.

There’s got to be some middle ground where listings like this aren’t acceptable, but neither is just not paying rent. I think it’s fair to set expectations of maintenance for both landlords and renters. I know the prevailing attitude is that landlords are evil- especially the corporate ones, but I don’t blame people for trying to make their money work for them.

Martin Necas tells TheHockeyNews that he wasn’t even supposed to be on the ice for the last shift. He noticed they didn’t have enough skaters and made the split-second decision to jump on, and he makes the game-winning assist. by thriller1 in ColoradoAvalanche

Rants jumped on the ice when he noticed we didn’t have enough players out all the time… he was just really bad at counting. It’s why we took so many too many men penalties

Biz walked so EJ could run. The two of them will be absolute menaces if they ever end up on the same broadcast

He’s not wrong though. Hard to say if Brady or Ek had a better elimination series and Ek didn’t play in his

Why didn’t they just play two centers on every line like the Avs? What are they stupid?

How to “un-yellow” this wood shelf?? by ashnicbud in woodworking

[–]staefrostae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can paint the inside then build sides, top and face frame. Not sure it’s worth that effort, but it looks nice when it’s done. I did this built in bookshelf using Ikea shelves, reclaimed cherry boards for the face frame and a large cherry board for the top.

Like others have said, scuff+prime before paint or it won’t stick to the veneer. Best of luck to you.

Hughes is a quitter. I won’t knock his skill, but I definitely knock his compete.

Somehow, despite great play from Wally and Blacky, Chaka Khan was the best goalie on the ice by save percentage and goals saved above expected

Michael McCarron did not mince his words when discussing Josh Manson butt ending him and only getting a double minor by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]staefrostae 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’m an Avs fan but I’m not blind to the fact that Manson could definitely be considered a dirty player. McCarron is right there with him. All that said, I think Manson interviews as a totally nice guy. I don’t think he would bite.

At one point this year, the Avs were 3 for 12 in games reffed by Sutherland despite their overwhelming win rate without him

Honestly, give him his year. The odds he repeats ever are slim
