If there is pee, there will also be poo. Have a gander and see if you see any droppings. They’re like little black pellets the shape of zeppelins (if you’ve ever had a hamster or gerbil, they’re similar), if you can’t find any I’d be very dubious about mice. In my experience from having them, you hear them scuttling at night. If you’re worried, you can get humane traps for pretty cheap - definitely cheaper than an exterminator.
So where I am we don’t use blown insulation like this, so please take this with a pinch of salt, but…
I redid 50m^2 of roof insulation in my house to exceed the insulation standards in my area and the cost of all the (very high spec) insulation sheets and materials was just over £3000. I don’t know about loose insulation that gets blown like in your picture, but I just wanted to contextualise why I thought the price seemed high.
If it was me, I’d set up a couple of cameras and mouse traps to see if you get anything. If not, add that company to your big book of Bullshit and chalk this down to a good lesson learned. Owning a home can be stressful and expensive enough without scamming dingbats making things more difficult.
If you do end up with mice in the traps, it would be worth getting a quote from another company, juuuust in case.
The referendum would enshrine in Australia's constitution an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. The Voice would advise on policies that impact the nation's most disadvantaged ethnic minority.
Pseudo-monopolies are great at extinguishing imagination like that, and tbh Google search (as I understand its basic setup) was only as good as it was thanks to timing and few really good competitors.
I’m guessing your understanding skipped the part about the PageRank system
Yeah it’s a monopoly now, but back then it was a couple of Stanford kids with a good idea on how to make search engines suck less by ranking web pages. And it worked.
But as always, with great power…
As an added bonus: if I recall correctly (which I may not, it was a while ago now), the hilarious thing is that despite its success, the original PageRank system was based on flawed maths :D
To quote a certain highly educated someone, we’re not in /c/technology nor a tech themed instance, it’s a showerthought post (so the vibe should be casual), so why would we go into technical details? maybe learn to read a room?
your entire entry into the convo was pretty condescending for no apparent reason
Except the stated one…
Usually people educate themselves on a topic before trying to talk about it as if they have a clue.
People are not gonna bother educating someone who won’t educate themselves, especially when what is said is so completely incorrect they have no idea where to even begin.
Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don’t have any experience of this, so I’d appreciate any tips from those who have been there already....
It’s been 5 years or so since my last cigarette, and I still desperately crave one when I’ve had a beer or five, especially when there are other people smoking nearby (like at a pub).
For these first few months, try to socialise in places where booze and other smokers aren’t going to mix - like getting blasted at your house instead of your local. Ignoring the cravings does get easier, but for the first while being out of the way of temptation definitely makes things easier.
(Also replacing tobacco with weed is a bad idea, since you’ll just end up smoking as much weed as you used to smoke tobacco in order to stave off the cravings then you’ll be drooling on your sofa all day with a small packet of wotsits and a large box of shame and oh the humanity)
I have to travel a lot for my job. Every. Single. Time. I’ve had the misfortune of needing to go to the States, my luggage has been stolen from in transit. Cash (learned that lesson), electronics, once it was dirty underwear?! Going to Russia? Fine. Laos? Grand. Cambodia? No bother. America? Nah mate, this is a communist country apparently, your property is our property! Gimmie gimmie gimmie!
Fuck the TSA, and fuck the complacency of the lazy ass populace who allow this corruption to run rampant, while still praising how great their freedumbs are.
I have some additional pieces not on the mannekin at the moment such as spaulders, bracers and some leg armor. I also swap the helmet and tabard sometimes. For now though, I’m digging this look....
I’m sorry if you’ve answered this already - I had a scoot through your comments but didn’t see; how much did this cost you to make? It looks like something you’d see in A Knights Tale, it’s amazing
