Reply to comment by SnakeJG in Oak veneer countertop discoloured where sanded by kimchifarts123
I noticed it in the thumbnail and would be irritated to see that all the time. If the vaneer is damaged or sealant ruined and not resealed it could seep in water from the nearby sink, causing more damage and repairs to complete. I would recommend finishing it up now instead of waiting for more issues later.

People have mentioned the flange being a specific direction in the floor.
Depending on your reasons, there may be other solutions for you. If you don’t want to share, you can share reasons like “I need additional clearance around the toilet” or “it would give me more privacy” or “toilet position causes injuries or blocks pathway”

Space for a wheelchair access?
Otherwise just leave it because it’s personal and not a thing we need to know.

Reply to comment by ThePrince14 in Majority of Texans back shift to solar energy by Sorin61
Here is an article discussing how Texas is a leader in wind and solar, and how lawmakers invested in coal, gas, and oil are trying to make renewables more difficult to get, make, or add to the system for their own financial benefit.
You can’t deny that there are shitty lawmakers trying to hold back forward motion for their own financial benefit and that many of the ones in Texas for this situation are Republican.

Reply to comment by windingtime in AI Seinfeld banned on Twitch over transphobic jokes by asjonesy99
I have a feeling it took data from the time Jerry Seinfeld made a transphobic joke stemming from something Steven Colbert said about a car.
Jerry Seinfeld is not a fan of being censored and has been in hot water for poorly executed jokes of poor taste, specifically around trans people.
Art imitates life.

If it’s per bag, fill large bags.
I drive 30 minutes to dispose of rubble because it’s better than burying it.
Saving a bag in the corner of your lawn for when you do rubble will probably be unoticeable, but digging up your yard or a permanent hole to bury rubble will fuck up future plans. Don’t let lazy dictate your actions.

If it’s just mortar, put it in a bag and throw it away. You are making more work for yourself by digging and burying.

Why not just put them out front with “free” so that someone who needs bricks for a project can take them for you and all you have to do is leave them there?
A few reasons not to bury construction:
-it leaks into your ground water
-if you ever want to use that area of the yard for something else then you have to dig it up
-planting a garden or getting things to grow in that area will be difficult, including anything that roots.
-you could use that rubble to build something wildlife and nature will love
-future you won’t remember exactly where you buried it to dig it all up
-even if you don’t dig it up a future homeowner will have a massive pain of a project

Mason jars are my candles, glasses, vases, storage (food and non-food), etc.
My oatmilk gets made and lives in a gallon mason jar.
Mason jars for the win! Reusables for the win!!!

I use a mason jar or tin with locking lid.
Single use Plastic bottles break down over time and will eventually leak, especially if previously exposed to something acidic like juice.
If you don’t want paint on your floor, use a mason jar or other durable things. Ideally paint wouldn’t be exposed to light when stored, which you mentioned, but dark containers are going to be better, too. It’s why paint cans are dark.
I assume you are asking about this because you saw something like the touch up cup.
You might be able to get away with a container that truly seals with a lid that tightly closes, but any air will dry out the paint so make sure it locks tight.

Reply to comment by freeshavocadew in Deaf woman with autism found safe after going missing 3 weeks ago by AmethystOrator
You could have stopped at “it’s a miracle she’s alive.”
When you added something “easier” to abduct it became a really insulting statement towards autistic women who are deaf, and even those of use who are not deaf.
My autism makes it so I don’t trust anyone and I have memorized ways to protect myself and what I would do in various scenarios. I have helped a lot of people out of dangerous positions, and even rescued a kid getting beat up by a group of larger boys that no one else would interrupt going by.
My autism makes me that person who saves the day.
Autism is a spectrum…not a label to describe someone as less than. Yes, having a disability of any kind can make you more of a target by assholes looking to do harm, but that doesn’t mean a woman with autism wouldn’t fuck up an attacker.

It goes back further, but the flashy evil that he is the face of uses Reagan as a blueprint. Consider Reagan the face of a team of baddies. Responsible but nor the sole blame.
His wife’s anti-drug campaigns did some pretty heavy damage on society by way of stereotyping and instilling fear.

Reply to comment by Riversntallbuildings in Cheap, sensor-based agriculture could slash water use by up to 70% | We could definitely use something like this with all the droughts around. by chrisdh79
As a vertical farmer I get more yield from less square footage than other farmers.
I can have a smaller footprint to maintain, which means using less materials for watering and maintenance, and double or more yield by utilizing vertical space for growth.
I also intergrow species, meaning I plant more than one type of harvestable plant in one square foot of space because some grow up and some grow down. Use all the space.
Vertical growth also reduces noise and acts as a barrier.
I am confused why you think it couldn’t be scaled?

So you still need to grow coffee for that, and divert the waste somehow.
But also not all coffee waste will be usable.

Isn’t there currently a coffee shortage and growing issues due to environmental and single product growing practices?
It is a shade grown plant that we force to grow in the sun for production.

Yes apply.
Your wife needs to write down the facts in order, including the positive reviews. She will use this if the company argues against her application.
I have learned that companies like this either don’t answer the paperwork from unemployment so they don’t lie to the government, or they try and claim bullshit that she can refute.
The person asking her questions is usually pretty kind and has no determination on the situation, but their wording can, so make sure she just states facts, not feelings. (A fact is that she had positive reviews, a fact is that no one brought up anything negative about her performance prior to firing her, a feeling is being sad about what happened or angry at them for how they sucked).
File for unemployment. Help establish a pattern so that labor and industry can help.

Reply to comment by Pilot_Seascape_402 in Antibiotic found in potato disease thwarts fungal infections by Sariel007
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
A fungus and land mismanagement, among other things lightly outlined in the article above.
A dependence on the single crop of potato was a result of British land owners limiting crops to a single one that grew well, followed by a fungal infection from the conditions. Potatoes aren’t native to Ireland, so there will be diseases it encounters there that it wouldn’t in SA.
Single crop growing is not a good idea for anyone. The dust bowl is bound to happen again as long as we continue to till up land for one plant in one spot instead of interspecies growing.

Potatoes are actually from South America.
The Irish don’t love them - they were forced into using it in their lifestyle due to mistreatment by those in power.
