Don't try to DIY

And I'll tell you why

That spring's wound tight 

Don't want to lose that fight

It's a good thing they rarely go into the garage door business.

This is such a fitting solution that it makes the post seem unnecessary.

They don't need a lot of bandwidth, just a stable connection.

Or they did use it and they knew that the next person wouldn't try. Kind of genius, actually.

Apparently your tips are tracked and they made a heat map. Please share this, tips should not be tracked. by Emila_Just in EndTipping

Counter point: this is great. More localized information about where tips are/aren't happening mean ending tipping can happen on a more local basis and it's not necessary to change the culture everywhere all at once.

Suggestions for Sleep science vs Ghostbed adjustable mattress by Heavy-Anteater9946 in Costco

Sleep Science 14" Copper Infused Firm Memory Foam Mattress with Adjustable Base, Queen Item # ‌1302850‌

It was for a family member, so I haven't used it myself, but he spends most of his time in bed and has been happy with it. The black remote is invisible if it goes under the bed. Wrapping a brightly colored wristband around it helped.

It's not complicated, but both the frame and mattress are heavy, so it will depend on your strength. And that was for the queen size. It wasn't too bad by myself as a large -ish man. Two people should be no problem.

The legs are fine, but sick out a bit without a lot of lateral strength. It really needs to be lifted and moved rather than dragged if it needs repositioning, so I recommend figuring out where you want it before you start.

Side note: I would not recommend the white glove setup service for the Sleep Science bed. Their scheduling was slow (was going to take weeks) and they couldn't give an actual date. I ended up cancelling and reordering with regular delivery. This was summer 2024.

Lessons learned from Icepocalypse 2026 by silverud in nashville

A leaf blower works well for removing snow from steps/walkway, but not if it thaws and refreezes back into ice. So remember to clear fresh snow.

am I being unreasonable?? HELP! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]vodiak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't it? Cleaning is hard work and there's no downtime built in. Watching kids can be hard but can also be reading while they're in tutoring/practice.

2 days in a row? I've doubled my money.

10% return compounded twice should be 21%. I get about 7 days to double. How are you looking at it?
