If Churchill stored their garbage to keep it from bears, that was a recent thing. I remember driving out to the dump to watch the bears the couple times I was there years ago.
Seems like Philip finally pissed enough people off to tube the distro. I watched this same thing with Mandriva and another distro happen. It's probably not going to end well.
I liked Manjaro and still have it running on some machines, but I can't say I'm inclined to install it for a while now.
Honestly, that doesn't look too bad. I'd say the plywood is filling in an area of concrete that was removed before. The smooth mortar stuff is self-leveling compound, the gray stuff is concrete. Is there any movement in the floor, and if you're planning on putting down tile, then movement is the enemy. In which case, I'd say tear the concrete out and rebuild the rest of the floor with plywood, screwed to the joists that are presumably inspected and reinforced if needed.
If you don't have time or money to do that, this could be used as is with some repair of the holes. Those cracks aren't really a show stopper, and depending on the flooring you plan to use, you might not need to do anything about them. The concrete debris in the walls annoys the shit out of me, though. And I'd fix whatever you've got going on over by the toilet, that looks grim.
If that tube gets 5 degrees warmer than the room I'd be surprised.
TY for your service.
Watch Will Prowse's videos on the Lightning he owned. He was not a fan, and I think he ended up getting a replacement that was just as bad, and he finally unloaded it. And Prowse is a rabid EV-solar guy, but he doesn't put up with shit. Can't say I'd be in a hurry to buy one and I really want an EV pickup.
You know you want it, sweetie.
They're so vague you end up in a long legal battle even in what looks like cut-and-dry situations. I don't disagree with letting the courts determine culpability when it's unclear, but some of the fights people have had clearing themselves of very obvious self-defence of themselves and their family are egregious.
Police just reflexively charge people because they don't want to have to take responsibility to think. Do you charge a woman for stabbing someone that tries to rape them? She's already been through that trauma, now she gets to spend the next two years in court.
That said, this is probably a Conservative MP and you have to know the legislation is probably daft in the other direction.
As for motivation to tackle that sort of thing, my Grandpa would say "Starting the job is half the job". It's kinda stuck with me so the only thing I think about is just grabbing something to start with.
You know by the time you're done you're going to have every tool you own on the ground beside you, so you might as well just grab something vaguely related and begin walking. You can make the rest up as you go.
Every time I get involved in something like that, I think of the Malcolm in the Middle episode where Hal starts to fix a light bulb and by the time he's done he has the car apart because everything breaks along the way. Lois walks in and he comes unglued when she asks about the light bulb.
I have to fix the tools I use to fix the tools that fix the thing.
My hand-strained, teat-to-table beef milk? That cost $60/gallon.
I'm going to change the countertops soon so I wasn't super concientious about the caulking job.
I was a little pissy about the fact that the hold downs seem like they were designed by morons that don't understand Newtons 3rd law, because when you tighten them, they just rotate until they're hard against the sink wall. And the tap still uses a nut that needs a huge basin wrench instead of what I've seen on other taps like a nut that tightens by hand and then you just use a Philips screwdriver to tighten a couple machine screws that finish the job.
Ah well, it's in and I get to do it all over again when I order countertops.
