Am I wrong in thinking this is not as bad as it looks? I know with wood beams you can make holes in the webbing (?) part as long as they don't exceed certain sizes and are properly spaced.

Cojawfee posted:Is it legal to keep deer you hit with your car there? I think it's illegal in Texas. When I was 9 years old, my mom was driving us to grandma's house on Christmas Eve when we hit a deer and did a good amount of damage to our minivan. We were in one of the redneck/good-ole-boy dominated areas of the state (Jackson, Michigan) and a line of pickups stopped behind us-- to check on the deer. Not one person came to see if we were dead or alive, they just wanted to wait and see if we claimed the carcass or not. We were shaken up but mostly fine, and did not claim the carcass, so someone else went home with Christmas dinner. I can probably mark that as my first time realizing people truly suck.

It still would have been dangerous, but they probably would have gotten away with it rather than getting brained by a ladder. She's using an extension ladder that isn't even extended out all the way, kinda looks like if they had bothered to do that they wouldn't have even needed the "scaffolding" at all.

Ruflux posted:I swear Teflon will be the modern times equivalent to lead paint, leaded gasoline, radium water and asbestos. It's being used in all sorts of places including frying pans when we know for a fact it wears over time and isn't a very good thing to accumulate in your body. Plus it starts melting if it gets too hot which just adds to the hazard. It should've never become as widespread as it has. Going back a couple pages to the Teflon chat: are there any non-stick coatings on pans these days that aren't completely terrible for myself and the environment? I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and got a new induction stove and will have to replace most of my pans and would really like to buy something that is nonstick that won't contribute to whatever cancer I'll surely get in the next couple of decades but its hard to tell if any of the current solutions are just more PFAS types we don't know are terrible for us yet, or are """safe""".

Spicy day at the air show this afternoon https://twitter.com/Mrgunsngear/status/1690836980769132544 Pilots ejected and were rescued. This was the only privately owned MiG-23 in the country. Some crash debris hit an apartment complex nearby. Incredibly, no injuries or fatalities.

Some more/better coverage from the plane crash yesterday: https://twitter.com/OnAviation/status/1691018688487440384 quote:This is another angle of the #MIG23 crash that happened yesterday at the Thunder of Michigan Airshow. Apparently the plane suffered an engine problem and the little that is known is that it spat out a flame, it is not known if due to the ingestion of a bird or due to an engine failure itself. This same plane was a few days ago at Oshkosh 2023, the largest air festival in the world where it was one of the stars of the show. It was the only private MIG23 in the world.  can't park there mate

This is one of those things where I wonder how the first person who figured out this was "safe" figured it out. Like, did they slip and fall in, and found another exit somewhere else and then word got out? I wonder the same thing about mushrooms that we now know are edible.

CommieGIR posted:The Egoplus stuff is super expensive, I'd find a different one. Their base mower starts at like $500. They are the market leaders in this space and once you own one of their products it is obvious why. Extremely well made, you can use and abuse them and they will just start up with a button press the next time. There is basically no maintenance required. Extremely quiet. The batteries are the most expensive part, the $500 combos are basically a $250 battery with a $250 mower. I'd rather pay a couple hundo extra than ever have to deal with hauling an extension cord around my yard.

CommieGIR posted:The average gas mower isn't seeing anywhere close to that cost in maintenance and that's a crazy high price tag for the average consumer living in inflation land. You did not include the cost of gas. Sure in a straight up cost comparison, your loud, polluting gas mower is going to win every time. You can certainly buy cheaper battery powered mowers, but you'll get what you pay for with the EGO.

Sentient Data posted:As someone who used to help load tvs, no, probably not. Most doors only open about 60° or so now without a release lever to let them swing wider. Combine that with long seats and center console curves and you'd be lucky to get larger than a 43" in most sedans I tried to get a 46" tv in the back seat of my Camry in the late 2000's and couldn't actually get the doors closed, so I had to go rent a Uhaul to get it home. When I finally upgraded to a 65", I had that sucker delivered.

FuturePastNow posted:I can fold down the back seats in my car to extend the trunk into the passenger area. The opening isn't the full width of the car so I'd have to measure it first, but I bet I could get a 60-65" TV in a box in there I still have the box for my 65" tv so I just went to measure it: 64"Lx38"Wx7"D. I'd be shocked if you can get this into a car somehow, I can't even store it anywhere besides my basement because it is so gigantic. I couldn't even get the 46" TV to fit through the passthrough with the seats down.

I went through all the effort to set up a derrick the one year I deep fried a turkey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14bgW8xmqk And it was complete overkill. As long as you don't overfill your pot with oil and aren't chucking a frozen turkey into it, you're not going to set anything on fire. I deep fried two turkeys that both came out great, it was super fast compared to oven roasting them, and that crispy skin is just divine. The only downsides are cost of the oil and the cleanup afterwards took forever.
