Yep you’re wrong on 1. “The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had asked railroads for seven days paid sick leave following the rejection of its contract earlier this month. Another union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected its contract in September in respect of other unions negotiating for additional benefits, though eventually voted to ratify”

I get what you are saying but it still isn’t the complete story. Yes he didn’t let them shut down a major pillar of our economy and at that time forced them to take an agreement that was basically everything they wanted except for off time. But his admin spent the months after getting those concessions from the railroads. The IBEW even thanked the admin for their work. He supported many other labor unions right to strike without interference.

I don’t think you need to worry about sizes (or pitch) everything I have gotten from them has been correct but material and strength (temper) are definitely something to be wary of. So yea if you need ansi strength out of a bolt don’t get it from Amazon, but if you are just using a 1/4"-20 to fasten something together you’re probably fine.

Surprisingly enough, Amazon has a wide selection of bolts/hardware at good prices and reasonable delivery times 2-4 days normally.

You might look into the “curly girl” method, don’t worry about the name it’s just what it started out being called in the 80-90s. It helps people with any texture besides stick straight hair tame the friz. It’s been pretty helpful for me to allow my actual curls out without being a puff ball. There’s a community driven Google doc that has the concepts and best products. It wouldn’t surprise me if you actually have all wavy hair, many people find that once they stop using products that weigh down hair, their hair texture increases.

Worked really well for me, just put in an API key to actual budget and it pulls all the info from simple fin. Only thing that doesn’t pull for me it categories of the transactions so you have to manually set them up in actual but it does allow for rules.

I’m assuming you’re in the US, look up the prices for vinyl fence on home Depot or Lowe’s website. They have pre build items for that type of fence. I would 2-2.5x your material estimate to account for labor, markup, and misc items that are needed. Removal and haul away of a chain link depends on what it looks like now. All in I would guess $4-5k if there isn’t much custom work.

I would say that if you are physically capable and have the time, fences are pretty easy to DIY with a shovel, level, and drill. there are plenty of resources online showing you how. And make sure to call your local dig safe number.

1. Looks like that NAS was originally sold with up to 40tb capacity so it shouldn’t have any issues with larger drives. Seems like the “my cloud os” is based on Linux so unless WD built in some weird limit, it should work with 20tb drives.

2. I don’t have an answer here, never had to rebuild an array. You might be able to use clonezilla which can do a block by block copy of disks and then expand the volume in the OS if it supports it. This is just conjecture, I’ve never done it with a raid array.

It’s in perpetual beta and is free as long as you don’t want to run multiple copies at a time. I had so many DVDs to rip I bought a license. It can also rip UHD Blu-rays if you have the correct drive. Not sure why it would say it’s too old, are your date settings in windows correct? The forum is filled with people doing exactly what you describe and is a great resource. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579

MakeMKV is pretty much the standard for ripping Blu-rays. You can then use handbrake to reencode to something more efficient.

Since you are in Germany, buy a sebo. Great power and supposedly inexpensive since they are made in Germany. Some of them come with 10 year warranties and replacement parts are readily available.

Also if you want repairability, do not buy a Shark. They have 900 models and getting replacement parts can be extremely hard because they don’t make the same model for very long. Dyson is slightly better in that regard but not much.

This is a crazy recommendation but I think Canada dry plain seltzer is basically as good as topo Chico. I got some at a gas station the other day cause I was dying of thirst and it was as good as topo Chico my wife thought so too.

Might try the new rinse aids which are similar to vinegar in that they make the rinse acidic but there’s no scent to them. We just tried it and they have helped our blankets, towels, and athletic clothes.

I think Jimmy Carr’s laugh does. Check it out, it’s worth the watch.

Sweetango apples and sumo mandarin oranges. Sweetangos are the better honey crisp.

Walking up a mountain to start then back down is 1/2 as hard as walking in to a valley and then climbing out even if total distance and elevation are the same. Relationships have been destroyed over such mistakes.

If you are going alone or small group. Tell people when/where you are going how long you expect to be gone what trails you expect to take and make sure you call them to report youre ok when done.

There are utilities that convert mp3 to midi. That might be an easier route.

I’m going to estimate 99% of recipes in the US don’t give weights for those. It will say one large onion or 3 medium zucchini. There are a few places (serious eats) that tend to give weights but it’s extremely rare. If you’re lucky you’ll get volumes but weights are so rare.

Look into ozone generators or ozium air fresheners. Ozone generators sanitize without heat and help reduce odors but might be expensive and take a long time to be effective (hours to days). Ozium air fresheners absorb the odor and they got the gasoline smell out of my car, no idea how they work but you just leave them in your car.

My guess is this is a covid spike after a holiday where many candles were purchased/gifted.
