Time isn’t the only factor, water may not be available, if it’s a colder place, you need to keep it heated all day while you work. Dry bonded concrete works, if you’re replacing all the posts, it doesn’t sound like it’s only because a few failed, because you would just replace those ones.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 week ago:
For us it’s water access, and not every farmers fence needs concrete either.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 week ago:
As someone who’s done the same, eh, you have the machine anyways, and maybe you live in a drier place? Because they more or less come out in a single chunk, or if not, soft enough that the auger won’t shirk at it.
We have pretty clay forward soil, so you can even just back fill and tamp it with the dirt you took out. Frost fucks with everything anyways.

If it takes less than an hour you’re doing pretty good for an hourly rate.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 week ago:
10 years of my life summed up in a phrase. We didn’t only do concrete, but my crew was the best at it so we had any of the jobs that came up.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 week ago:
You don’t pour concrete, you place it.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
but technically you could be talk about a Canadian or a Brazilian.
No, that would be a North American or Canadian. You always covered this yourself.
Give your head a shake and get lost.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
The whole world used that term, since the other countries are covered by other terms, or other encompassing terms like I explained already.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
Why? You have North Americans and South Americans to cover the others?
What else would you need to include in the term Americans?
- Comment on Now this is an interesting question. What sound would you like it to make? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah! That’s the one.
- Comment on Now this is an interesting question. What sound would you like it to make? 2 weeks ago:
What show/cartoon, I want to say Futurama, had a bit where everyone in a suit of armor made a pinging sound when checking a dime out, but the gay person who said ding to not out themselves?

Most likely the customer or some random person adjusted the valves. A job like this wouldn’t be signed off on, even a bad plumber wouldn’t do this… fucking lol.

Someone probably removed the flow cartridge since they didn’t like the pressure it had. Now this.
- Comment on One for the ignition and one for the trunk 5 weeks ago:
Look at the slide sections, they’re mirrored, they won’t fit in each other locks.

Cold coffee tastes great, hot coffee tastes great. Room temp coffee… not so much.
Same applies to countless other things as well.

The milk gets too warm.

In my city it’s complaint based, so neighbor or passerby calls it in.
- Comment on You broke your butt cleaning your driveway and then this always happens 2 months ago:
Leaving the snow creates a “barrier” so less snow gets pushed back in.
I’m in the party of doing it a couple times during the snowfall so it’s not so much all at once.
Just life sometimes like hitting you over the head.
- Comment on You broke your butt cleaning your driveway and then this always happens 2 months ago:
Legally you have 24 hours after the snow stops snowing to clear the sidewalk, driveway doesn’t NEED to be done, but it gets done so it’s not a future issue.
I have the benefit and downfall of being on a bus route, so it gets plowed pretty fast. Anything without a bus doesn’t get plowed at all, playground roads are the last priority.

Rookie mistake doing it before the plow comes by.

Looks like an excavator tooth.

With enough flamethrowers, or an atom bomb, I’m sure the same could be attained.

They also create clippers on their way to states, hence the term Alberta Clipper.
- Comment on Exploding 🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳 2 months ago:
In Alberta a chinook can make the temp go from -20 to 20 in a matter of hours, the same backwards.

Oh… maybe done so the new one is the only result? That makes this a hell if a lot less of an issue.
- Comment on How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun? 4 months ago:
Legally? They can’t drive.
Anyone with an episode is barred from driving for 6 months, and if you have frequent episodes, well you don’t drive.
Driving is a privilege, not a right, if you can’t drive, you don’t get to. End of discussion.

Even worse they censor fuck but leave the R one in.

I mean all wood is edible for the most part. It’s also in a lot food!
Cellulose! It’s used to keep your shredded cheese from sticking together.
