What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don't, you won't want to leave your house for at least a week.
Insurance Companies: "Climate related disasters are acts of God."
Also Insurance Companies: "Welp, time for us to GTFO of places where 'acts of God' seem to be occuring with increasing frequency."
What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the prime directive.
Film Studios:
"We'll recycle the same theme's and franchises over and over until they're completely worn out AND we'll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you're going to like it because we said so."
Also Film Studios:
"Wait, where are you going!? Why aren't you giving us money??? Come back! You can't not subscribe!"
Jellyfin has a built in DVR. It works with HD Homerun tuners.
If you're a dude and you've never tried a prostate massage, you don't know what you're missing. Feels a little weird at first but then it feels really good.
Something that really impressed me with Bernie was that in 2015 he gave a speech at Liberty University.
Liberty is the among the most conservative of conservative "Christian" colleges. As surprised as I was that they allowed him to speak, I was more surprised that Bernie went. I was raised in Christian fundamentalism. I know how hard it is to break down the barriers between you and people who belive you're going to hell for A.) Being Jewish, and B.) supporting 'baby murderin'.
That's a wide gap but he tried to bridge it anyway and find common ground. I thought he did a damn good job. He showed more backbone than any other major player in the democratic party when everyone else thought it was a waste of time to talk to anyone who isn't a "swing state" voter.
It was one of the reasons I voted for him twice. It was clear that Bernie was/is interested in the welfare of all Americans and that he wanted to be president for all Americans. Even ones he might have significant ideological differences with. The Democrats can't whine about their dwindling support when they're too chicken shit to go talk to people in Red states. Trump is and will contibue to be a collosal failure as president, but he proved one thing for certain. The days of the "safe" candidate being a winning bet are gone.
I can still smell the interior of my dad's Fifth Avenue.
Forgiving my dad. He was a terrible father but he's a good grandpa. We made amends and I'm glad to have him in my life.
And boy are they hungry.

I had to show off my newest acquisition. Picked up an old Rockwell 22-650 planer from a guy on Craigslist. I replaced the knives, greased it, and dialed it in. It works great! If I ever have to move it again, I'll get someone with a tractor to help. Still not sure how I managed to muscle all 400+ lbs of it into the basement by myself. I was dumb enough to try that once but not enough to do it twice.
I've seen several big chains, mostly gas stations and fast food, advertising "daily pay". If you are worried about how you're going to make it until your next paycheck, whether it's tomorrow or next month, or you have no savings to cover any sort of emergency, then you live paycheck-to-paycheck.
Don't be fooled. "Daily Pay" is just a shitty attempt at avoiding paying better wages by giving you your shitty wages faster. It's designed to benefit the company, not you.
Edit: If you don't get to hold on to your pay check long enough to earn interest on any of it, then getting paid daily is not benefiting you.
Recently had a new standing seam metal roof installed. Roofers could talk the talk but I was not impressed with the quality of work overall. My main complaint is that they installed the roof so that most of the sewer vents go right through the middle of a seam. The boots are clearly not designed to accommodate this and they've succeeded in creating more work for me in the future; which is what I was trying to to avoid by spending the extra money to upgrade to metal. The boots are going to leak. In fact, they already have.
I was pretty pissed about this initially and told the owner of the roofing company that if they had bothered to tell me this was going to happen, I would have moved the damned vent pipes myself if they weren't going to. The right fix would be to replace the panels and move the vent pipes but I have a feeling getting them to do that is going to be difficult if not impossible.
Is there a boot that's designed for this kind of install or a better way of sealing these? Or, am I going to be stuck checking and resealing them every couple of years?
Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.
