    Let's build some pools!

    If you've ever stored your chlorine tabs anywhere near metal you'll have noticed how corrosive just the gasses are. I'm not an expert and i'm sure there's math out there, but with your added salt you get to lower your free/total average chlorine because it's constant. There's probably some...

    Let's build some pools!

    Ya, if you don't use a chelated copper product start now, poolrx is the expensive version, bluerayxl is the same but cheaper. I should have also mentioned I do use tabs in the winter, probably one every three or four weeks. It's cold enough so nothings going to happen but it is a good way to...

    Let's build some pools!

    man reading through the pool talk in the home thread was annoying In ground gunite/plaster pools are easy as hell. You need three main things and some ancillary. The three are Salt Water, a Copper Sulphate product like poolrx, and a UV light product you run your water through. Ancillary is...

    You should play with some amortization calculators and figure out how much every X.XX extra paid to principle saves you in interest over the life of your loan. For me, if I just randomly dump 1000 in it saves me approx three grand in interest. If I pay an extra 100 a month it saves me about 50...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This thread really does need to be split since music et al. highjacked it with the dumbest ufo and supernatural shit imaginable. I'll just try to force it by making an ancient civ thread and ask @Amod to delete "ancient civ" from the title of this thread and replace it with "retards...

    In norcal they building full on 1000 home developments and choosing not to sell a single one, all rentals. They call it build to rent. They claim it's somehow less risk but entire neighborhoods are going to be trashed in a half decade. Even good renters don't care like owners do. I really...

    How do you find people to play games with/deal with woke guilds/etc?

    Stop playing video games, or at the least cut way way back, and get IRL hobbies with the same goals.

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    I'd say vanilla has a decent 12 hour playthrough if you're goal is to have created your own secured / profitable system. It's quit the juggle to build that up to profitable. After that you can set some other goals but it does start to get stale. Mods help a lot and make it so factions take...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I have 10ish goats (no bucks fuck that) and it's ez pz with a good fence around their pasture. Not needy at all and don't make much noise (they are a couple acres from the house though). Daughter loves going in and hanging out with them. All hate goats get is because people try to deal with...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    You can do big goats, get woven wire and drop real posts with your t-posts. Also for feeding i'd just throw flakes of mixed hay in their pen or in a hay rack from outside their enclosure. Only time I direct feed the fuckers is when it's raining for multiple days and I have to get it into...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Speaking of blades I feel like the most dangerous thing I did in my life was wash my beswood meat slicer blade. After a couple times I got to thinking what would happen if I dropped it on my hand or foot, now wear cut proof gloves and my boots when I clean the fucker.

    Taqueria's are insane value, not sure how they do it and don't wanna know. We have like 5 in town, all awesome and practically free food. Al pastor and lingua is my shit. The new craze is the birria taco (wet brazed beef with cheese onion and cilantro) which is great.

    Pretty sure my kid watching old 4/3 cartoons with the black side bars ruined our lg oled. Colors in the middle are completely fucked up - was about 7-8 years old so probably nearing end of life anyways. Doing some research i'm pretty sure I had a version that had a bug with the pixel refresh...

    Ya true, I assume they send a pad deployment package early for the rocket to land and take off from? Not sure the logistics of this, seems fricken heavy, but also not sure how you land/takeoff on martial soil w/o fucking all your shit up.
