And the obsidian on the second gun is a hell of a lot larger, physically, than the tiny tin can on the end of Wick's 9mm in the movie.

Maintenance just left after installing a new dishwasher. They ran it through a quick rinse cycle to make sure it worked. I filled it with dishes, started it, and... it won't fill with water (yes, I checked the valve under the sink). And it was full of smoke when I opened it. Guessing it tries to fire up the heater at the bottom to heat the water; instead it melted some stuff.  Good job, Whirlpool. e: maint came back out, we brainstormed a bit (partly because the contract and pricing they have with Whirlpool means they don't get a warranty of any kind). I looked up the fill valve part number. It's plastic. Suggested maybe it was overtightened... guess what? Loosened the fill hose slightly and it works fine now.  randomidiot fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Jul 2, 2019 |

Holy poo poo Tremek so sorry about your garage. I thought it was the whole house at first so at least that part was lucky. I just recently saw the gypsum between 2 floors in some new construction that my uncle is doing, guess that poo poo works. Doing stuff to code is where it's at. Also glad to hear everyone made it out including pets. Sometimes its hard to get them out quickly since smoke will make them panic and hide. Super sucks about the wagon though, that thing was cool as poo poo. I too though arson immediately, hope that wasn't the case but if it was then hopefully justice can be had.

We heard things ricocheting off EVERYTHING as we hid our arses behind the biggest tree we could find while trying to push the dickhead out into the open to catch his own prize. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The bullets are 40 grains, the cases are about 10, that's 0.65 grams. Heavy airsoft pellets weigh .2 grams. They probably wouldn't have even broken the skin.

You know, I'm thinking maybe a second layer of gypsum on the shared wall between my garage and house might be a good idea... The attics are still connected, but still not a bad thought.Maybe also build a firewall in the attic, too. Hmmm.

Tremek so sorry to see the fire, glad the family and pets made it out safe. That's one of my biggest fears, fire breaking out when we're not home and the dogs can't get out.Darchangel posted:You know, I'm thinking maybe a second layer of gypsum on the shared wall between my garage and house might be a good idea... It's making me concerned there's nothing but plywood between the basement/garage and the living space. I do have three smoke alarms in the garage and one in the stairs going up but I need to replace all the alarms in the house itself.

I don't know what the minimum age is that kids can handle movies in a theater, but we're not there yet. Not that I haven't seen some people try and then get annoyed when they throw a fit. Once, I saw a toddler at a 3 hour movie that started at 8pm and couldn't fathom how the parents thought that would end well. I think they made it about 30 minutes.

Gonna go pick up a pair of engines tomorrow. Plan got a lot less cool, but also a hell of a lot cheaper, which should mean it will be get done a whole lot sooner. The boat anchor ain't dead yet so i'm going to build a wood frame to build everything up and have it running before i even tear the 460 out. Researching all this relentlessly has really opened my eyes to how poo poo modern cars are.

My brother just bought a brand new Mazda CX5 on Sunday. Today his wife tore a chunk out of the LF tire.  It's a threshold call, on the shoulder, with a minute amount of cord exposed. Is it dead?

Darchangel posted:You know, I'm thinking maybe a second layer of gypsum on the shared wall between my garage and house might be a good idea... 2 layers of 5/8" drywall is a suitable substitute for a 3hr fire wall in most multi-family (more stringent) dwellings, make sure you use fireblock caulking around all your penetrations and it's a cheap way to add some protection for your house.

Magtech 9F (95 gr 9x19) doesn't have enough energy to penetrate regular cardboard if heated until they go off. Ofc we didn't know this beforehand, so it probably scores pretty high on the list of dumbest things I've done.

Rottie has a ruptured ACL. The words $5k surgery were floated by the vet. Taking him in for the surgery consult tomorrow. Also: We formally closed on the house April 30th, and it appears the title company hosed up sending the year’s prepayment to our homeowners insurance out of escrow. It was sent to the wrong address, so therefore the insurance company cancelled the policy without telling anyone, and of course as insurance and taxes are paid monthly by us as part of our payment, all this was completely out of our control, so that’s in limbo and we are exploring our potential legal options in the meantime while Safeco decides if they’re going to play ball or dig their heels in. What a week.

Getting a lawyer now will probably save you money in the long run, but either way you need to lawyer up. *edit* re: ruptured ACL, my pit bull had an ACL that was completely gone and some other knee issue, she got the tibia plateau leveling surgery and is now amazingly active compared to before. It was $4k+, and they told me there's a 50% chance her other knee would have the same issue at some point, but the difference in her movement / lifestyle is night and day. Here's her high as poo poo a week or two after the surgery, they want you to keep them doped up so they're not active:

Your lender would certainly be named on the policy as an interested party too, so they should have known about this.
