Sounds like crews from other states are heading to California to help with the fires - that's good. Not sure about international crews. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 21:39 1

interesting interaction at the park. showed up, lady there with immediately left, saying to the kids and mom "we have to leave, it's dangerous!" - mafic Aug 19, 21:20 10
- Did she confuse you for an American with your Canadian accent? -- nm - . Aug 20, 00:07 1

  - We have (I think) 5 and people are doing *Homer flappy fingers* -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 03:03
  - I mean, we're a state like 4 times the size of Texas with the population of Houston. makes it way easier, but they also clamped down harder than any - mafic Aug 19, 21:31 4
    - Still could be done - but way easier on islands or states like Western Australia. -- nm - Meg Aug 19, 21:34 3

        They really should start charging them with murder, they knowingly broke quarantine, starting an infection is a foreseeable consequence - zeitgeist Aug 19, 23:36 1

    - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 06:20
  - Agreed. And that was good planning. Barry did the tough stuff and it allowed her to be warm and inviting. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 20:48 2
    - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 06:18
    - agreed -- nm* - the ice Aug 19, 20:50
I don't really know what this is. And it's a bit juvenile. But I laughed. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 19, 20:34

Great speech though waving to a zoom audience clapping at you is a bit weird -- nm - eag Aug 19, 20:14 1

    - yeah, same here. up to $200 contactless now I think. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 21:49
  - Discovered this morning that my medical office now accepts 'contactless' credit cards. Mine just arrived this week and I had to use it in a - Meg Aug 19, 21:43 2
    - My grocery store has their own payment app. Wave my phone at the scanner and it captures my rewards card and credit card. - Meg Aug 19, 21:49 1
      - yeah, I have apple pay with the card I don't often use. useful when I forget my wallet. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 21:51
- You're never too young to call out such abhorrent behavior when you see it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 19, 20:10
Finally a new blazer! -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 20:03

amanda! my bro's masster bath has flor heat, it kind of crees me out. are you sure? -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 19:28 15
- I need it. main bathroom in the new place is SO COLD in the winter. - mafic Aug 19, 20:49
- I don't have another heat source in the room, so it actually will allow me to use a bathroom that was heretofore unusable in winter. - amanda Aug 19, 19:46 1
  - also note that when I demo my small bathroom (previously the main bath for the house) I am totally doing in floor heat as well. - amanda Aug 19, 19:49
- I wish we installed heat strips when we tiled the bathroom floor, do it, you improve value of house more than the expense of if. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 19, 19:46 3
  - I do think you're right. I think my cash outlay will be less than $1500 for sure. -- nm - amanda Aug 19, 19:47 2
    - We used Schluter Ditra. It was basically nothing. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 19:52 1
      - right? esp in a bathroom that's basically 82 x 43 inches of walkway. -- nm - amanda Aug 19, 20:06
- Good lord, please excuse my fucked up keyboard, as usual -- nm* - loosilu Aug 19, 19:35 1
  - Yeah, this is why we’re gonna start calling it something else. Mwah ha ha! -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 20:06

- We were going to do it when we reno'ed our 2nd bathroom bit the estimate was twice as much. We noped out. -- nm - Shaun Aug 19, 19:29 1
  - the materials are pretty inexpensive really. I can demo, install, and retile myself. it's just paying the electrician that's costly honestly. - amanda Aug 19, 19:44
