Then we’re going to get commentary on how Leibowitz weeds out Black subjects and only photographs the lily-White. “Preeeeety convenient how her ‘dark, arty style’ only works with Whites...”

Obviously amateur opinion (that’s also extra-sensitive because we’re scrutinizing, and viewing it on a laptop screen that’s probably angled poorly rather than in its intended glossy context), but the weak gradient/back-lighting effect and maybe dark dress and “Vanity Fair” makes the whole composition look very flat…

Amateurs shouldn’t critique art.

FIN

I’m pretty sure women have the same conversations—sexual objectification is not solely a male issue. (Granted, given the history of the power dynamic, one has more serious ramifications than the other.) 

I think every human who has ever lived has discussed the hotness of someone else at some point. I’m kinda confused why we’re either shocked or furious about this. Beauty has always been an opinion.

When was the last time, some chubby male singer was deemed ‘attractive’ or ‘gorgeous AF’? Ah, it’s the ‘big and beautiful women’ vs ‘fat dude’ narrative.

Damnit, Bradley. I just built a new workbench along one wall of my shop and should have done this first.

What if your garage floor is 52 years old, cracked, 4 different kinds of “level,” and oil and mouse poop stained. =(

A lot of the cutting is done in order to clean up the edges of the crack to make them a better surface for the sealant to adhere to. It also gets a lot of the crumbly concrete out so that the crack doesn’t spread in the future. It also makes the crack way easier to clean out with compressed air or a shot from the…

Probably wash, etch, and epoxy would be your steps. That might even be a one day project if you time it right. 

Yes and no. I probably could have saved one wash by waiting until after I cut the concrete, but there definitely needed to be a wash and etch in between cutting and filling the cracks. It was nice to start by having everything clean and visible anyway. There was years of dirt and gunk on every surface, and lots of the…

I believe they are also for grip. A wet epoxy floor with nothing in it can be like ice. So be careful.

I probably could have started by cutting the cracks and cut down on one round of wash and clean. I just wanted the cracks to be clean so I could clearly tell how deep and wide I needed to cut. 

“amateur butcher shop", is this code for the shed your redneck buddy dresses deer in or code for the secluded spot your serial killer friend murders the homeless? 

^ this is why I don’t get the epoxy coating thing. The garage is concrete, which gives you traction. You spill oil? Okay fine...it’s a garage, who cares. You want to fill the garage 3’ up with water or oil or coolant? Again, it’s a garage, why does it matter?  I kid, but I’d rather not worry s out breaking my skull…

you didn’t put down any traction/anti-slip grit down? I realize Nevada is dry, but you do get some rain, yes? about 15 years ago, the company I worked for had drive-in chambers for vehicle testing. One (wet) winter day I pulled in a Durango to one of the bays. As I got out, my foot slipped on water which had dripped…

Home inspector here: your #1 priority now is to manage water away from that garage. The slab cracked because it settled. Slow further settling by installing gutters and re-grading, to preserve that floor for as long as you can. 

My favorite piece of Lifehacker advice I ever read was “replace all of your socks with white tube socks from Costco, so you never have to worry about matching or losing a sock.”

I think that’s the one thing I’ve read on Lifehacker that was actually useful. Still not a “hack” though!

I wish I could impart the one useful thing I’ve learned from the Gawker Media suite of blogs. The little arrow next to the gas tank icon on your dash tells you which side your fill cap is on.
Spread the word. Spread it wide and far, because I had been driving for 20+ years before I learned that shit.
