insecticide additives for house paint
horn4life replied to Gil Bang's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
You use good paint!!! no additive to fuck the paint up for some shitty half life of bug protection. And since it's not built, yet. You could always build it and design it not to be attractive to spiders? Or paint it white to mask the webs? I assume you want to do a patio cover with open beams for appearance? If so I can make two suggestions. Just get one of these that will screw onto your extension pole. $13 link to HD You could also buy some sort of extension for shop vac (Hillbilly Engineer says tape and a piece of PVC) if the web remnants still bother you. But my man card says you should stop after the brush and have and adult beverage... -
This thread reminds me of when my mother was being interviewed for placement in Memory care. They asked a lot of simple questions to get a gauge about the level of her dementia. One answer she gave still makes me smile, so a tip of my hat to this thread. The geographic question was, "What State are you in? And after a pause, she answered, "The state of confusion." Never a truer answer, she passed about a year ago. and while the memory brought a tear to my eye, it was a good tear. I mainly loved the answer because I could honestly have argued that the answer was correct to some UT prof. Hook'em! Both today and tomorrow!

I think the market is afraid of what the information pipeline that has been turned off, may show that we have both inflation and job losses. Which handcuffs the Fed from further cuts. Could also be, why not profit take now as folks start to panic. Today and Monday are going to be interesting. I really thought we might see a bounce back this AM in Tech, but premarket is going the wrong way for me fairly bigly.

OK that made me laugh.

Docs on locale-specific early punk rock scenes
horn4life replied to Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand's topic in Music
I was about to come over here and put those links up. I think The Stranglers were the first band i saw there, and I was going to so many shows there I thought I might as well get a job there. So I was a busboy and rarely bartender. I was going to work the door but I wanted to see the bands, not the upstairs bar. Anyhow the documentary is neat, and I am up to the Sex Pistols show in SA. Saw so many bands up close at Club Foot it spoiled me for life. I especially liked the early part of the documentary, regarding the accordion and it's evolution in Central Texas. As a soccer trainer I used to work with joked to me one time very dryly, "I hate the German People! Because they gave my people that damn accordion!" But pretty good documentary, I hope the folks that made it get into the black and can make some more. -
I understand the desire for total shutdown but it will never be that way, because of a variety of reasons. the Military in particular. But in this shutdown they were paid by a political donor correct? But the military should always get paid, and anyone that is forced to go to work, should get paid, period. IF NOT, there should not be any repercussions for workers that decline to come to work. Of course if they don't come to work they won't get paid. But it seems unreasonable to fire somebody for not showing up for a job that is potentially forcing them to destroy their credit rating? The plane thing is a no brainer. Get rid of the least economically impacting flights, exactly the ones NOT initially targeted for reduction. I simply do not understand the logic involved in deciding that shutting down commercial airlines first and not other less impactful flights. It was stupid from any perspective. If your goal is to do right by the amercian taxpayer.

It was a Lil something... can't quite remember what...

So if you were managing a business, say the FAA, your first move would be to put the most productive and income producing flights at a 4,5,6% cuts? Then you would look at the least income producing flights carrying the fewest people? From a business, or putting the public first perspective, it's a strange starting point for me? Assuming my goal is the least disruption and minimize economic damage? That's why I think it's so clear that private flights should always be the first one's cut, before a commercial flight? I would be fascinated to know the number of private and non-commercial flights allowed to displace commercial airline flights? From an economic perspective is a no brainer. Having Air traffic controllers paid is a no brainer to me. And I don't fly all that much, but it's like closing an interstate from a business perspective. So again a no brainer for me from an economic perspective.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

When you suck against teams you should roll, this is the outcome. I hated it last year and was pissed a Ewers, for not playing better to get Manning some PT, earlier. And on offense, it damn hard to get more folks snaps in a live game when you can only give your regular receivers a couple of snaps before you punt. Maybe we can roll Arkansas and get a lot of PT for the freshmen. But I bet our offensive snap count this year is as low as it has ever been. -
I do NOT want to go cloak room on this. I really just want to know if you think airports are such important infrastructure to the public that they should be paid during shutdowns? And do you think that Private Jets (low passenger counts) should or should not have the same access to the flight path as commercial airlines during periods of flight restrictions? My personal feeling is yes, they should be paid as the overall threat to economic activity, makes me feel like Air traffic controllers are essential. Conversely, I think that the first flights to lose access to the flight path should be private planes. Simply as their are a lot of alternative landing places for smaller airlines, that could be utilized. The same cannot be said for commercial airlines. I just think you start off restricting the flights with the fewest passengers is the most logical way to manage such a crisis in the future.

And Niblett is still mostly waiting in line at WR. It's not three years ago, where if you were a talented freshmen you were almost assured of getting a lot of snaps. Depth and competition means more time waiting until you can push that super talented starter out of the way at Texas more and more. And THAT is a very good thing!
