Lol so many trips missed because of dogs... Mine have severe separation issues we are workign on and until just this last few months I could not leave them alone.

I agree 100%

There are so many reasons for not wanting children, many of them are personal health reasons that people do not want to discuss with others. It is often hard to deal with this personally and having others question you about it can be very hard.

My Uncle and his wife decided to not have children due to a large chance of severe genetic issues. I have known a few people that will remain childless, I don't know why, it's none of my business if they are not sharing.

Excellent LPT:

Reply to Post book depression by bertiewoooster

I like reading series so yes when the series ends I may have been with it for 6 months or more as I only read a little every night. The book Hangover is real, I have tried picking up another series similar to the last one and this leads to realizing that I needed something new, not an old substitute.

Reply to Do I need to replace my deck joists? by RobotKevinSpacey

Yeah based on this picture they look OK. Be extra careful of corners and edges.

My House on my deck, even if the boards are all perfect, I would pressure wash, let dry and then recoat with wood treatment. With a good fresh coat they will last even longer, make sure to replace anything that is even a little soft.

I have never used Joist tape(?) so I am not familiar with the product. I would guess it covered the top few inches of the board and that will probably help in the long term as long as the boards can dry out properly.

Reply to Can I drill a hole in this door, and are there open/closable hole caps I can add to both sides? by rolliejoe

I will jump on the bandwagon with the group saying don't do it.

I suggest hiring a professional to add an outlet inside and outside with connectors. this way you get no air drafts, no unsightly hole in your door.

It's not that difficult to add the outlets and will give you a much better look and function than manually running a cord through a hole in the door.

Reply to Pulling together different technologies to make interstellar colonization possible by matthewgdick

We are close but it is still Fiction... We need to fill the gaps between each segment.

I would think that any (digital clone) either Android or Robotic with a human based brain would go crazy travelling long term all alone, just like a human would.

It would also take redundancies, multiple Android AI's to provide backup support not only during the voyage but the building of the colony and raising the infants.

There are a lot of stories out there already but there is also always room for a new fresh take on the issue.

I suggest to write it like it's real and during the process you should get a good idea how much is currently possible or what may be fiction.

Reply to Correct Drill Bit Help by ApocalypseLater93

Yes a 12 mm should work. It may not hold quite as tight but should work fine. Make sure to fill the hole with silicone sealant so everything is watertight after install.

I 100% do not recommend drilling into your bricks or the mortar. This is permanently damaging your house and personally I don't feel worth it for a hose reel.
