My LG TV somehow has the ability to reboot my wifi router, because that makes sense.

In my neighborhood, there's one the few Alcoa Care Free homes. I guess the path to carefree living was being OK with most of the house feeling like an airliner galley and not being able to replace the toilet ever.

Wingnut Ninja posted:You know, now that phrasing makes me wonder. Obviously the only examples of Roman engineering that we still have today are the ones that were built to last. But human nature never really changes, so there must have been instances, now lost to time, where Gaius Bubbacus Tertius built a really lovely extension to his villa on the cheap. And there's no way that some of those remote border forts didn't have some sketchy poo poo rigged up by bored soldiers.

My earliest memories are riding around on my little tricycle to see the houses that were sinking in the Tampa neighborhood we lived in. When it stopped being orange groves, they just buried the felled trees and guess how that works out when they rot. Then we moved to Pennsylvania where it seems like a house a year falls into an old coal mine. Yes I think all houses will eventually fall in a hole because of course they will

Shifty Pony posted:The body is exceptionally good at being lazy and after a few steps of exactly the same height it takes a surprisingly small amount of variance to gently caress with people climbing stairs. You never realize how close your hand comes to things until you break a finger, get one of those metal finger splints, and then snag it on literally everything around you.

Cat Hatter posted:I don't think anyone would argue the US has acceptable public transit, but once you've managed to get within 100 feet of where you're going there will probably at least be a curb cut for you to get a wheelchair from the road to the sidewalk and better than average odds you'll be able to get through the front door and use at least one bathroom. Could obviously be better, but somehow still better than many countries. Eons ago when I was a humble guy working in a Barnes & Noble, one of my tasks following "move this table over there" projects was to make sure we'd maintained the ADA clearance. Yeah, could be better, but we try.

Bad Munki posted:You really can’t these days. They’re now in to vintage pricing. At least in my area, which has a ton of outdated rural farmhouse estates constantly going up for sale/auction, and you’d think there’d be a bunch of them on the market. They started to decline in numbers about 20 years ago. Most of them were destroyed in the 1990s and the ones that were held onto by the elderly or abandoned in place started to disappear around 2000-2005. By now, I think the majority of sources you'd think would still have one laying around have been depleted and even the type of home you're describing disposed of theirs a long time ago. I suspect the current "grandma died and we have to sell the house now" giant TV is in the 600 pound 30" "flat screen" that's somehow three feet thick category.

`Nemesis posted:pretty sure that outlet install is just rage bait Something like this happened not far from me. A truck was leaking and left a trail of concrete a few inches wide and tall, with little piles at intersections. It was fairly avoidable, because cars straddled it. Then when they "fixed" it, they ground off too much road and now it is worse than the trail was.
