You can get a weber smokey mountain cooker 18" for 299 American dollars. Or do it proper and join my club with the 22" for 100 more, and you should. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001...MHfL&ref=plSrch

We've been crowing doom and destruction in here for a decent while, but you need to keep in mind that not everything is quite as on-fire or as burned-down as our end-of-days masturbatory fantasies make it out to be. So, with the exception of the USA descending into civil war, and/or Trump-induced irrelevance, any amount of international job experience weighs quite a bit in anyone's resume...especially of those that aren't Americans. Hence my attempt to not just score a summa cum laude degree here, but use that to get a foot in the door and pep up my resume that way.

Holy loving poo poo. Dutch engineer I used to work with just posted this: quote:I've been a volunteer with the Harlingen sea cadets for 17 years, but i've never thought we would be doing something like this... Last year we spent eleven exhausting but unforgettable weeks taking part in the filming of "Dunkirk" with our ship, the former minesweeper "Sittard". Finally got to see the result tonight, well done mr Nolan!! Now heading back to Harlingen to see if the ship still floats, not so sure after seeing the film...

Dutch sea cadets run a ship that big? That's a high school level thing like the US?

I don't really know all the details. I would assume there are several officers who do it on a volunteer basis and the sea cadets learn skills as they go.

In sea scouts the largest ships were ex coast guard 120's though one program tried crewing an ex-navy cable layer around 200' but it proved too much ship for the kids available.

I failed on the Fridtjof Nansen for a few weeks in high school during our class graduation trip. It's a ~190 foot three-mast schooner (?) With a crew of four volunteers doing their "Zivildienst" (the optional service you could do instead of mandatory military service, loving draft-dodging hippies) and the captain. The rest of the 55 people on board are paying civilians. It never seemed quite kosher, to be honest, because it was an OSHA nightmare come to life. "One hand for the ship" was literally the only thing keeping you from going overboard or falling from the rigging at 100 feet. Zero qualification, basically no thorough instructions outside of a really stern talking-to about not loving around, and that was it, every role on the ship was fair game. But holy poo poo, was it ever so much fun. The German navy operates a 300 foot barque called "Gorch Fock", and every officer cadet has to do a cruise on her before being commissioned. "Cadre" of 55 veterans, and crew of 200 cadets, which seems much more appropriate than the five people for a loving three-mast ship as in our case. But being a military vessel has also earned the ship some hilariously stupid shenanigans and accidents, including sexual assault cases and six or so deaths in recent memory. The latest death was a 19year-old cadet that fell to her death from the rigging on the 140foot main mast, resulting in the crew's refusal to climb the rigging for the remainder of the cruise, with four cadets charged with "VERABREDUNG ZUR UNBOTMÄßIGKEIT", which is the precursor charge for mutiny.

this 17 year old kid hit the fence behind my house a couple of weeks ago. didn't hurt it too bad. it's a vinyl fence that has panels that pop in and out, and the panels just kind of fell out around his car. probably did more damage to the car than the fence when it's all said and done. the kid was super honest about it. he willingly gave his information to me and asked me to call the landlord so he could notify them of what he did. i was pretty impressed with his honesty because i would've probably took the gently caress off when i was 17. the fence can be put back together really easy, and the kid even put most of it back together himself. i think one panel needed to be replaced and they are super cheap. the landlord gave the kid's parents the option of just reimbursing the cost of the panel, or taking it to insurance. it would have been no more than $50 to reimburse the landlord for the fence., and the scratches on the car looked like they could be buffed out. parents took it to the insurance company anyway. how loving dumb lol boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jul 24, 2017 |

My cherry peppers are coming along nicely. Six plants, tallest one is about 19" with the rest 12--17". Have a whole bunch of 1" peppers right now and more flowers coming. First harvest should be about a month away and I can start pickling.

Kitchen sink tap snapped off. The feed lines at the wall are stuck so loving hard if I try to put pressure on them to break them free it feels like I am going to snap off the copper pipe. The other end of the lines at the tap are waaaay inside the top part of it and impossible to reach. How the gently caress did they install this thing when they built the house.![]() ![]() ded fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jul 24, 2017 |

If both the pipe and the feed lines are metal, use some sort of penetrating oil to perhaps break the connectors loose enough to unscrew them.

The place is holding a good temp after some work on the AC and all the weather stripping. This is good in Texas. Now time to make some b-read

The other end of the lines at the tap are waaaay inside the top part of it and impossible to reach. How the gently caress did they install this thing when they built the house. I just had the same exact loving thing happen to me last month right after I listed my house for sale. I had a helluva time trying to find the water shutoff valves under the sink, because they weren't near the connections or where it came up into the cabinet. I ended up having to drag myself across the entire crawl space to shut the water off at the main. When I finally got the faucet off I was able to find the shutoffs hidden under the reverse osmosis tank under the sink. Remove the connections at the faucet is probably way more of a pain than it is worth since the new faucet will come with the same hoses connected already. Just increases the chance you'll spring a leak in there since it will be tricky to torque it down properly in there. Like orange juche suggested, I'd try spraying the connections at the bottom to loosen them then use two wrenches to break it. I am partial to PB Blaster personally for breaking rusty connections.

WD40 is not good penetrating oil.
