I'm confused what the difference between the blue line and the blue dots is.

As for your point though, see "probability matching"

Reply to In Hokkaido, Japan's winter months, harmless underwater algae balls are protected from death by an ice shield. That shield is expected to thin thanks to global warming, causing the balls to join the list of species threatened by climate change. by MistWeaver80

If I'm remembering correctly, Iceland was the only other place on the planet where this species existed. We made ours go extinct by redirecting a (filthy) glacial river into its pristine lake in order to generate power for a transnational's aluminum smelter.

Reply to How to fix a leaning brick column? by Noonien

Is it just leaning or is it also moving further away?

Why do you think it's moving? Whatever fix you implement it's only going to be temporary unless you also address the root cause.

There are lots of YouTube videos showing how to lift foundations and stuff like that. Seen a bunch where people use ordinary hydraulic jacks.

What's toxic is referring to 14-year-old girls as women "past the age of physical maturity" while you'd obviously just call a 14-year-old boy a boy.

Why are you calling this girl a woman? That is clearly a child, not an adult.

Reply to Considering doing brick ourselves - No idea what we are doing by PersephassaThePurple

How long do you want this to last? There's a dimple lathe product for using with thinbrick that I saw on Matt Risinger's YouTube channel that will give you a ventilation gap but may be overkill for this shed.

Brick is going to look goofy as heck on that floating shed, but HOA is gonna HOA.
