    It's also literally a commonly used CnC method for extremely hard metals and stone, called waterjet cutting I've already got this covered. I have a close friend who doesn't know any of my family or other friends (met through working together) and she's essentially a 5'8" Angelica Houston...

    This guy has some of it right. But the caveat is that you just have to find a way to invest and hold assets that appreciate in value at some rate higher than overall inflation, otherwise you're at best treading water and taxes will erode your stored value over time. Just like many have...

    In before the sink is installed is definitely the way to go if at all possible in my experience. To this day I still regret not running some wiring in the back of the cabinetry before the countertop went on to support some things.... And not wiring in the stuff for under-cabinet lighting...

    The old one could have used that, but I had enough space to reach the mounting nut with my vice grips to loosen it, then fingers to get it removed. The new one had this "collar" that you pushed up and then hand tightened, which I was a little suspicious of at first but worked great : Due to...

    Thank you! The cabinets/countertop/backsplash are the result of me remodeling the whole kitchen, which was done as a 10th anniversary present for @Mrs. Haus . Full disclosure, I did in fact sub out the flooring/cabinets/countertop/backsplash work in that remodel. (Gutted to the studs...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You realize you're talking to the same people who have spent fortunes trying to make fake meat look/feel/taste like real meat while saying all along it's better for you? Pretty sure it's just the automotive flavor of that particular mental illness.

    So today I had a long forgotten side project become a "must do now" and now I'm pissed I put it off as long as I did. A while back when looking at some things I needed to fix/upgrade around Chez Haus one that came up was the kitchen faucet. I shopped around, found a nice one that @Mrs. Haus...

    OK. Interesting guy and an interesting follow if like me you are fascinated by the numbers and stats behind dating... Full disclosure : He does, of course, run his own matchmaking service supposedly based on AI and deeper profiling to make better long term matches.

    Yeah, there are a ton of great stories you can tell with a real Hal Jordan being Hal Jordan and a real John Stewart being John Stewart. Needing to tell a "Small town corrupt cops/bad white guys/whatever needs a detective" simply isn't the story to tell. If you're going to do the downfall of...

    The blood is RUNNING IN THE STREETS!!!!! That jokingly said.. the market has had a hell of a run up in the last month and a half despite what some would call headwinds (Hormuz situation, energy prices, etc...) So it wouldn't surprise me to see a little cool down retraction. Still I'm not...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My grandmother had both knees replaced back in the early 2000's. Both procedures she was up walking the same day and going home within a couple... Kinda amazing. Made a huge difference for her. As opposed to my grandfather who had to have his knees scoped and jacked up cartilage cleaned up...

    I rode out the vesting of my shares. Last shares vested a couple years ago. At the time I considered that, but the fact that during the first year (pre-vesting schedule starting) my company shot up ~200% so I let it ride a bit longer.... between then and end of vesting (3 years later, 4 years...

    @pwe , I've been through this exact process. Like many have mentioned (and @Cad even had a chart) this is normal as you age. Many people pick up a spouse along the way, and that's definitely a type of friend, but obviously not the same as a fraternal friend. In my life I went from having a...
