When I bought my house, I had the option to add a fireplace. I refused. First, I didn’t want to pay for it, second, I didn’t want to clean it, so I would have only used it a handful of times a year, mostly around Christmas. The house I grew up in had a brick fireplace in the living room. I only remember it being lit two or three times at the most. Probably for the same reason I didn’t get one, my dad didn’t want to clean it.
The big, monolithic blocks standing vertically at the side of the house are today, mostly just show–just a framed box for an 8" steel pipe inside. Possibly many houses you see have a chimney, just not the sort you’re looking for.

Good luck. Seriously, I’d love to have that game enjoyable. How did they get Fallout 4 so right, and Starfield so wrong? If they can fix it, I’ll try it again. Otherwise, I’ll stick to FO4, I’m getting close to 6600 hours in FO4.

You poor kids. Your parents screwed you up.
I’ve read advice that people need to continuously ask for consent DURING the act, just to be sure. This is stupid advice. Once you’re both naked in the same room, and no one laughed or ran away, you’re good. If you’re now thinking up exceptions to this, that’s why you’ll never get laid.
OTH, no one should have kids, so it’s probably all for the best.

- Comment on Got your attention 4 days ago:
Many, many (many), years ago I put a flyer up on an outdoor bulletin board that said:
SEX SEX SEX (In big letters)
Now that I have your attention, this has nothing to do with sex, I’m looking for a roommate…
There was a bench right next to the board, so I sat for a while and listened to people react. It worked, in that several people stopped, laughed, and commented. But, in hindsight, I wasn’t surprised that no one called.
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 5 days ago:
Nah, there’s a list somewhere of typical weights, dimensions, volumes, etc. of common items. They just put in their value and it pops up. They’re nerds first, and scientists second. You KNOW this exists somewhere, and they all have it bookmarked.

- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 6 days ago:
I wonder if he had the same hatred for cast-in-place concrete.
I don’t like concrete blocks, nor bricks, when cast-in-place concrete is an option.
If I could afford it, I’d build my house with cast-in-place concrete walls and floors, with the interior walls finished with wood studs and drywall. The problem is both cost, and finding an experienced crew to do the work. Some countries just don’t have contractors who know how to do it, and will only build concrete block walls.
- Comment on How long before the GOP tries to get the 23andMe data? 1 week ago:
Best to assume they have it. Not that we could have done anything about it. I never got a DNA test, I just hope my siblings didn’t, either, I don’t think they would. My son is at risk from my ex-wife, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s done it.
- Comment on Horrible kerning 1 week ago:
This is tracking (overall character space) set negative, for whatever reason, usually ignorance. Kerning is the act of adjusting the space between two characters, such as an uppercase ‘A’, and an uppercase ‘V’, to fit more closely together. A good rule is to leave the typeface in body text at 0 tracking, default–most typefaces do just fine in body text with “metric kerning”. Manual kerning is only for headers, titles, signs, etc. and should be used only when needed.
If they needed the body copy to take up less space, they should have used a condensed typeface, instead of messing with tracking. People like to hate on Helvetica, but the inclusion of so many different fonts in the typeface make it very useful for this reason.

They let you cut down along the edge, then you can yank out the piece by the root (yes, ouch). Over time, the nail will stop growing along the edge. It’s a permanent solution.

- Comment on Anon goes home 2 weeks ago:
After both parents died, we four kids sold the house. It’s still “home”, but it’s not ours anymore. That home exists only in our memories, as do our parents. At 60, I’m the youngest of the four of us, so they’ll all be dying sooner than later. I take better care of myself than any of them, so I’ll probably be the last to go. Then it will only be my son left. He’s adamant that he doesn’t want kids, and I fully understand. Our family name will die with him.
That’s life.

- Comment on Meanwhile in America 3 weeks ago:
It may be counterintuitive, but a bin is more likely to be down the street, than in the neighbor’s yard. Because the wind will blow the bin along the open street more easily than it will force it up a curb or driveway.
I’ve found my bin halfway down the street several times here in NM. I’ve never had it end up in the neighbor’s yard.

They’re trolling. It’s not just that they’re not paid enough to care, it’s that they’re so criminally underpaid, they’ve lost respect for everyone. If they were happy at their work, paid well, had benefits, and paid time off, and were treated well, they’d never consider trolling like this. We’d all feel like part of a community that respected and valued our input, and we’d all treat each other much better.
It’s a class war, and every year there’s less for us to share because the filthy rich refuse to share, and cannot be satisfied.
