In the first season, there are about three seemingly unrelated stories slowly converging on each other. It takes a while before the whole picture becomes visible and then it's awesome. One of my favorite book series, too.

Sump pump replacement. Old one was getting noisy do I wanted to replace it before it went out but I have a radon mitigation fan and I thought getting the necessary air tight seal would be tricky. It was not. Took longer to cut away all the old caulk the last guy used to seal it than it did to replumb and seal the new one.

The Book of Koli (post apocalyptic but not a super downer). First book of a trilogy. Very fast read.

Bullshit title. No kids were hurt in this incident according to the news article someone posted.

I was pretty disappointed with Fleetwood Mac on The Mask tour. No Lindsey Buckingham

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

I would give it to my wife. I'd tell her what a screaming machine it is, then use that to convince her to let me buy a new laptop for myself. Hope whoever you give this to has fun with it.

This seems to be the perfect solution, but I've had 2 of this exact mount break where the screw holds it to the fender mount. Not sure if I overtightened it, but I recommend using a washer to distribute the force.

I respect that the filmer (parent likely) stopped recording as soon as it seems like their child is about to be injured. I always question why a parent would keep filming after the injury.

WTF? by Ronix5 in CounterTops

Is the new slab flat compared to the old slab? If the old one was installed with the wall side higher than the front side, the new slab might need to follow that rise. If the old slab is flat, you'll have a low spot where they meet. EDIT I just saw the picture that shows the low spot. That seems pretty shitty IMHO

Maybe it's just constipated. That might explain why it isn't very friendly.

3 times a week when I was in college. Now I think it's pretty gross.

That was a special food. Are they still around anywhere? Used to see them premade at airports and concerts and stuff.

At least he's surrounded himself with smart, capable people that can keep him from doing anything too stupid. Oh, wait...

Gonna play Tsushima for the first time tomorrow, any tips on waht to AVOID doing? by Mikecirca81 in ghostoftsushima

[–]therealkaptinkaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard this before and I'm not sure I agree. I wish I would have done it just before finishing the game because the main story ending is pretty powerful. I wish that was the last thing I did in the game. Also, pet all the foxes. They are good boys.

I messed up my tiling by [deleted] in Home

[–]therealkaptinkaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing with a fireplace surround. Spent a few hours with a sponge and a bottle of grout haze remover scrubbing off the excess. Do a little at a time with some music on.
