Are you able to tell what this person is betting at the time of the bet? Or only after?

Cause I would just bet what ever he does if you could know beforehand.

Some of their demands were stupid and over the top.

I mean, that's like haggling 101. Start your demands high so you have something to give up and still get the stuff you actually want.

If it will eventually be possible to travel to a new planet or mine other planets and asteroids for materials instead of destroying our own planet, than absolutely it's worth it.

If that's all a pipe dream than space exploration is really just a waste of money.

Obama met 2/3 of those criteria

It's the woman part that America won't vote for

If enough people do it, insurance companies would start requiring businesses to pay a living wage otherwise refuse to insure it.

I saw it advertised the other day on "Sale" for $11/lb

I wish they asked about road maintenance in this survey.

Headlights are an issue but also the fact that I can't see the lines at night when the paint is barely visible during the day.

I wonder if you would be able to design farm implements in a way where battery swaps are necessary but you have like a trailer type situation where there's like 10 batteries you can pull to the field with your tractor and then when needing to "top up" you just drive to the trailer to swap out. Then over night all ten batteries get charged. Or throughout the day you have a second trailer charging another ten batteries for continuous 24h operation.

It would be a fair bit of upfront investment but farm implements always are, and you would save on all the fuel required and having to deliver and store it.

I can see the purpose when done correctly but that would mean maybe a 3-5 year protection to give you a headstart on the competition not 20+ years of monopoly and stagnation.

Wonder if she's been kicked out of the military housing and had the security team recalled

Anyone also not going out to protest and just sitting around ignoring it is also complicit

I would be curious how much these missiles are marked up.

It can't actually cost like $14.9 million in materials and production costs and then $100k profit for the company can it?

I wonder if it's like $5million production cost and then $10million profit

 

Hello,

I know each artist would put quiet a range to their prices for various works but I was just thinking this morning how awesome it would be to have a mural done on our front fence.

I have no idea what such a thing would cost though, like not even a general ballpark number. $2k?$20k? More?

Just looking to see what sort of number people throw out so I can either pursue it further or just forget about it right off the bat. Also don't want to insult someone when I approach them and be like "So $50 ya?"

Not sure if there's a generalized $lsw ft type thing people have but it's a 8' tall black corrugated fence, about 120' long split by a driveway in the middle. I assume prices would vary on the design so let's say maybe just a forest scene or something,like you would see on electrical boxes in the city to hide them.

 

I live in Canada, so I'm sure there are plenty of nice ones available in Japan or Europe etc but I fear where I live I can't trust if something is an actual good brand or just paid shills advertising things on Instagram or mass paid 4-5 star ratings on Amazon.

Any recommendations for good Bidets? It will be my first, so I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't need it to be a rocket ship with a different program from every day of the week or some shit.

I am not afraid to spend money on it and don't necessarily want to go for the cheapest option but I also don't plan on spending $1000 on a toilet seat either.

I have access to power nearby and have the capability of modifying plumbing if need be for hot water.

Anyone have any ideas for some options?

It's for an elongated toilet btw not round.

 

Recently bought a house with my parents and looking to turn the basement into a basement suite.

A problem I have run into though is at the base of the stairs, there is a width of 36" wall to wall and we want to put a door there to seperate the two floors.

However the basement entry door to outside is only 32". Does anyone have any ideas on how to close off the bottom of the stairs while maximizing the width of the opening? I feel like we can only fit a 32" door there is we still want it to look decently.

But then good luck ever getting furniture in and out of the basement.

I'm starting to think I might have to cut some foundation out and make the basement door entry wider, but I would rather not if it can be avoided.

We thought maybe sliding barn door but it wouldn't be very sound proof and I think my dog would figure out how to open it.

 

I have a grounding wire that is connected to a copper pipe in my house.

Originally, I imagine said copper pipe connected all of the way to the pipe which goes into the ground towards the well.

However, at some point, the previous home owners installed a filtration system and replace a lot of the copper with PVC pipe, so it goes Copper > PVC > Copper > Ground Wire

Is that ground wire still useful? Or do I need to extend it to where the original copper pipe extends into the ground towards the well?

 
 
 

So involved in right wing American politics, it's sad.

 

Bought a house - previous owner moved to a town home so we kept the chickens. There is a decent amount of space on the property, and half of it is a forested hillside.

Any suggestions for a newbie? A new coop is definitely first thing on my list. And a fence around the property.

One of the chickens is an outcast and I feel bad for her, doesn't leave the coop when the others go out in the yard and doesn't eat treats from the ground just food from the feeder. The other chickens get along well it seems.
