Be real careful with this one. Count how many friends you have, divide by 100. Based on your own statement, that many are likely to actually have celiac (only the most common gluten intolerant disease). For even less severe cases, you do NOT want to feed this person gluten. Especially not as a surprise.

Hear! Hear! Having been in the tech industry for 30 years, I can only agree with everything you’ve said. My wife is also in tech (we went to the same polytechnic institute where there was a 6-1 ratio) and I’ve seen her go through almost all of the issues you mentioned. A thick skin is a must. While it’s common for…

Well, I’ve been in the field a little longer and can’t say your experience matches mine. Maybe I have a different POV since my wife also works in IT.

Last time I saw a recommendation like this, they were showing a 2,4,6,&8 foot tube. Pick the right tube and they isn’t too much searching to do (and it’s easier to tell the 2 foot piece of pipe from the 8 foot piece.)

Not sure about today, but it used to be that you had to pay the maximum fare in the system. Same rule as a lot of toll systems.

Yup. Reuse a large peanut butter jar if no one in the family is allergic. Or a plastic mayo jar, or jam jar. But the peanut butter jar with straight sides and a large mouth is likely to be your best best.

Actually, quite a bit if you want good tone.

Yup, 2 minimum. 10oz ball-peen fits into small spots easier. Larger claw hammer for everything else. I think if you are doing enough demo you should have an even heavier hammer just for that. Basically, one for tapping, one for real nails, and one for breaking things.
