That’s the same thing I was thinking. Either he’s been in contact with someone he shouldn’t be, has been knowingly withholding information, or is on the bank roll of a conflict of interest. Unfortunately, I’m thinking all of the above.

I am tremendously sorry for your loss. Please remember that you are human, and not made of stone. My cousin-in-law just went through this. She tried/is trying to handle the loss completely by herself, and has essentially shut down. There are those around you that care deeply about you and your family. Please do not…

As a property inspector, HOAs are complete bull shit for single family homes. Town houses, and condos, sure, but a residential sub-division with an H.O.A. or “ neighborhood management group” as they’re being called around here, should be avoided like the plague they are.

They’re either completely ineffectual and don’t…

I’m thinking Drag Pack + Hellcat drive train = New Demon.

No surprise, too expensive, and never looked as good (IMHO) as what it replaced.

You can have my truck’s column shifter when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I remember getting this game for Christmas as a kid. When I learned that there were hyper throws, AND jumping hyper throws, my sister refused to play against me.

Also fuck Team India, and Swami in particular. Only took 2 damage on every throw he didn’t catch.

Eh, just my opinion. If you’re going through the effort of doing everything else, including the folding screen transition between the bedroom and family room, go 100% and model the bathroom too.

Also needs more basswood and/or foam core. Cardboard is for 1st year students (/s).

If you’re going through the trouble to add the kitchen appliances, and counters, go 100% and do the bathroom too.

As someone who used to do 3D renderings and modeling for a living, this was a neat, but colossal waste of time.

Also...that apartment apparently has no bathroom.

This is under Fox Trot Alpha, AKA Jalop’s military arm.

This article fits that description, don’t click the link if you don’t like it, now let the adults talk.

We do wait until the first freeze to buy it. We’re in Illinois, so it isn’t really an issue, more of a precaution. If it has snowed/sleeted/frozen etc. after we buy the tree, I let it “thaw” in the garage. That way I can shake the ice out, as well as what ever critters might be nesting in it.

Phrased wrong. You’re supposed to wait for the first freeze/frost to bring it indoors. We usually keep ours in the garage for a day before we bring it in, just in case. If it’s still warm out, orb weavers and wolf spiders might be dormant and not frozen out.

Myself and my wife grew up with fake plastic trees for Christmas. As soon as we had our own place that allowed it, we got live trees. We used to buy from the Lion’s Club that would set up the make shift parking lot tree farms, and then we discovered that the Depot was a hellovalot better quality and about $40 cheaper.…

Ugh...damnit that was good.

I’ll take that bet, for sale too:

As someone who used to have to work directly with CTA and CDOT employees...Don’t, just don’t. You’ll likely get stabbed.

Here was my biggest problem with the new Ridgeline; the bed length. I looked at quite a few trucks when it came time to replace the 2007 XC70. I have multiple adjustable (little giant style) ladders, two of which are EDC for work. Both my 5.5’ and 6.5' ladders could fit in the cargo area of the volvo with the split…
