Why not buy your first house at 56 years old
ExiledInIllinois replied to Draconator's topic in Off the Wall
Modern dryers will shut down and warn β οΈ you. Replaced a 20 year old dryer in 2016, LG, it will do that if there's blockage. Anyway... Real fire π₯ risk! -

Ok... I came here thinking that they were checking the ages of Veterans. I was wondering why they didn't have all their patient info. π

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/57902/whats-difference-between-lake-and-pond "Guess what? There is no official scientific difference between a lake and a pond. In fact, the only real criteria to categorize something as a lake or pond is that the area in question must be a standing or slow-moving body of water surrounded by land." It's actually a small, very small lake since it's on the Cayuga Crick... π... Definitely an inlet and outlet. Have at it. A pond is standing water. π

My take is... IMO... Environment getting cleaner, they are having a harder time surviving and become habitualized towards human. There used to be open dumps, etc... Where they could go, now everything is sealed and transferred far away. Sure they are gonna root through the trash or greasy grill on a deck. Not against a clean environment... But how about going back to the "Fly Paper" approach... You make your gabage locally, you dump it locally.

People can always hide behind "safety." Schools need find a way to incorporate safety and eliminate the phone. -

Why don't they just put emergency phones throughout the place. Like pick it up and it dials 911. Or issue a single purpose emergency phone to each student at the start of day. Leave in each desk. Corrected. πππ -

Read this! Wow! https://komonews.com/news/loc...ron-ocean-surface-expedition "...Over cigars one night, (Stockton) Rush told Weissmann that he got the carbon fiber for the Titanβs hull at a big discount because it was past its shelf-life for use in airplanes, Weissmann said. But Rush reassured him it was safe. ..." WTF! Any idiot knows that spheres are better than tubes at deep dives. And if you are gonna make it a tube... Better to go stronger than carbon fiber. They have been doing this since the 1960s. I think the engineering is pretty well set... Even more so now!

Same thing here in Illinois. They all slam Chicago... But the cities keep the state afloat. The country folk think it's the exact opposite though. /smdh My plates in Illinois. Just sayin' π
