Thankfully there aren’t any strong smells as far as I can tell. All the rooms smell pretty clean.

When we moved in there were a couple of sites of water damage that us and our home inspector could see in the basement. The biggest one was below the main bathroom, looked like a pipe busted at some point, but the inspector noted that it looked like it was cleaned up ok and that there didn’t look to be any mold growth on the spots he could see.

As far as anything recent, we haven’t had any notable water spillage since we moved in.

We’ve been looking into hiring a contractor for some remodeling work so I’ll be sure to ask when we’re talking through what we want with the house.

Thank you for the advice!

If I recall correctly, Switzerland has a lot of gun control laws that dictate who can own a firearm, when and where the firearm can be used, and ownership requires strict training and licensing that often comes from the compulsory military service that the country requires. All of that would be great to have here in the US since the little tidbit about guns in our rule book mentions a well-regulated militia.

I haven’t been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I’d say it’s fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.

This is Michigan erasure and I will not stand for it.

Hey, on the bright side, manpower is manpower.

Based.

What’s wrong with galvanized square steel? It’s a strong, corrosive resistant material great for regular use in damp environments. Just don’t cut it, weld it, eat it, etc. Zinc isn’t all that healthy in large amounts.

Does Carmen San Diego work there or something?

I remember when Michigan once ruled the great seas. Good times.

Imagine not living in 616 though.

Where’s Upton Sinclair when you need him?

Looks like Space Station 13.

I think that’s the point behind voting uncommitted in the primary. It’s to put some heat on the candidate that actually has the potential to change their mind and do something. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s not as if I’m going to be voting for trump in the actual election and I understand how a 2 party fptp election works enough to put my vote in the “capable of having potential to stop supporting genocide” category.

What’s a guy gotta do to get one of those cool little cab over trucks in the US? I looked into it a while ago and it seems like they’re only made overseas.

The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that’s got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don’t have as many flavors, but they’re not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.

Goochland, Virginia is underrepresented here.

No no, you misunderstand. The plants have so many tomatoes that the cages are bending. There are so many tomatoes.

I use resources on weather.gov for most of my personal forecasting. I know there are forecasts on there but I usually only need it for readings like pressure, humidity, and wind speed. Also I don’t own a Doppler radar which is a very useful tool for figuring cloud density and shape. I do want to get a lightning detector though. That sounds neat.

As for your beans, if you got some spare cans and like pickled things, assuming they are green beans you could pickle them and they’re pretty good. I like em that way at least.

Edit: I forgot to mention the accuracy of the forecasts. I have precipitation down pretty good. That’s just pressure, wind direction, and cloud cover/type of cloud. Temperature is effectively magic where I live so it’s hard to pin down. Still haven’t figured out that one yet.

| Weather watching - I’m by no means a meteorologist but I understand a bit of cause and effect for most weather patterns in and out of my area. I mainly use weather.gov for my informational resources and they also have guides on a lot of weather related stuff.

| Lockpicking - I started before lockpicking lawyer popped off but I deeply appreciate him for making fun videos about the subject and bringing it out of obscurity. He definitely is much better than my amateur self and makes it look easy in general. As for starting out, check your state and local laws because in some places possession of the tools is illegal if you don’t have the right licensing, in others intent is critical but possession is not. Don’t break into anything you don’t own is an obvious one. Finally you can get a set of hooks, rakes, and torque wrenches online for $15-30 (prices may vary) and key locks are pretty cheap.
