Unless your main goal is to enjoy scenery while driving that itinerary would make a lot more sense as a longer trip or with flights between each major city.

Cannonball would be more like 3 or 4 days; people doing that don't bother with speed limits. You could drive it normally in a month, Google maps calls that 142 hours of driving which is a bit less than 5 hours/day. You'd need to prep better for transits through the middle of nowhere (lots of extra fuel and water), but in some ways that'd actually make the trip easier since instead of trying to tourist and transit every day you'd have a bunch of 10-15 hour drive days to intersperse between stops.

Until you get better at PS I'd suggest just going old school MS paint and dropping a black box of censorship over it.

My sympathies. I'm a computer person and know just enough to be glad I'm not a EE.

Same deal with sharpies. Accidentally leave one tip up in a pen cup and you'll find it dry in short order.

Nah. Not nearly annoying enough.

I guess this simplifies the internal design a bit since you only have a single string of light emitters vs 3 (one on each phase). It just shifts the burden back onto the installer since keeping the overall installation balanced will require installing them in 3s.

On the fridge they'd be far enough apart to be safe no matter how the magnet is oriented. Where I'd be worried about an accident would be when taking them off for cleaning or when putting them in storage (if rotating art seasonally).

Mine would be that two pieces with those magnets in would slam together hard enough to break them. I've got some slightly larger (nickel size) neodymium magnets. They're very hard to separate by hand even in pairs (slide them across each other until the reduced overlap reduces the attractive force) and will pinch painfully if you're not careful. (easiest way to get two apart is to slide a razor blade about 2/3rds of the way between and use it to lever them away from each other.)

Salad or loaded nachos? Either way I see a major problem: 3 sausages and only 2 buns.

Are they the same as luggage combination locks?

The ones my parents had were actually on the tart side, but so flavorful unlike the giant lumps of congealed flavorless sugarwater they sell in the grocery store.

This counter attack is nowhere near the power plant; and Russia would blow it up like Chernobyl to stop Ukraine from being able to get to Crimea before they let it be recaptured intact.

#2 Gah! He missed a white line at the end!

Maybe. Back in the 20th century the US Govt stockpiled an enormous amount of it in case military zeppelins ever came back. A few decades ago they started selling it off at a price somewhat below what it cost natural gas companies to separate it. So they stopped doing so. At some point the US stockpile is going to run out and prices will spike since at this point the gas companies will have to build all new hardware to separate it again. I don't know how close we are to that point.

The second was that the window between the kitchen and mud-room wasn't actually framed in at all. The original home owner and builder just cut a window sized hole in the wall, stuffed the window in and secured it with trim boards. Luckily the guy demoing the plaster below saw it shift and caught it before it landed on him. A pane of non-tempered glass shattering on his head would have been horrific. 3/3

The worst was when they had their kitchen remodeled a few years ago. 1) Plaster under the wall paper was full of cracks and needed replaced (not much of a surprise, it was the only wallpapered room in the house so it was half suspected). Above the drop ceiling was 1/4" plywood attached to the rafters by 1x2" strips, and needed completely redone (also not a huge surprise). The first big surprise was 2 live wires floating around in the ceiling cavity. 2/3

My parents home is almost a century old. A contractor they hired when I was a kid said words to the effect of "For a new build I can often hit pre-start cost estimates to within a single 2x4. Projects in old houses typically go 10-20% over, because while I never know what I'll find once I start opening up walls and ceilings, I almost always find something."

A lot of them are people with genetic disorders that result in weak connective tissue and extreme flexibility. Even ignoring any secondary effects your joints being able to bend in ways they're not supposed to is problematic in every day life.

The one big risk with that sort of asymmetric finances is if post-breakup is turns out many of one persons major assets are in play to be split but the others are untouchable. An acquaintance of mine went through an ugly divorce that only ended after most of both of their liquid assets were consumed by legal fees before finally settling on something very close to the "whats mine is mine, what's yours is yours" proposal one initially made.

In some frames I see what looks like a horizontal seam. Hard to tell if the apparent seam or lack of it at other times is the artifact from excessive compression though.

The problem with that sentiment is that stolen/bought "valor" is the only kind he's ever even conceived having.

If Ukrainian the alternative would be a European/Japanese/Korean commercial truck/van; not a Bukhanka. Other than a higher theoretical top speed and more comfortable seats, probably no real advantage vs a loaf that was barely upgraded since the 60s.

The ingredients are fine, but I want them **in** my belly, not **on** my belly. There's too many of them for the size of the bun. Maybe you could make it work with a sub bun and a split dog; but it'd probably need to be an extra fat quarter pound one (2x normal size) to keep a proper dog to topping ratio.

Not yet. But they are investigating twitter because grok was making non-consensual nudes and CP and Elon initially tried to weasel out of his companies having any responsibility for stopping it.
