fwiw PSL and Green have shown up to some of the the same protests this year

Hell yeah comrade, same here

I appreciate the blunt advice, that would really suck to deal with.

Unfortunately, I’ve come to learn over time that the best options for home improvement stuff usually turn out to be the more expensive ones and are often a pain in the ass labor-wise

It’s funny how it always works out that way.

I hate having to look at a sub-par job for all of eternity when I know I could have done it better/the “right” way.

Yeah, definitely get that. You end up living with a reminder of your own impatience

Makes sense. Thanks for the tips!

Ye

You should be fine laying new steps on the existing provided they’re in good shape. (Relatively level, no cracks)

Cool, these do seem like they’re in decent shape so tearing that out seems like a shame.

I would probably at least pull that bottom layer of decorative pavers out and lay new corner pavers there to provide a better base for the steps

Certainly couldn’t hurt. Seems like the other steps may just be on a bed of cinderblocks, can’t quite tell though. Should probably try to match that while tearing the other pavers out.

Do you think these steps were bound with something like pl500? Doesn’t look like mortar to me

Makes sense. We briefly looked into mortar, but kept bumping into the other 2 options. Probably a case of DIYers trying to minimize work though.

Thanks for the advice!

Mercurial fan?

The struggle is super relatable. I’ve taken to letting my lib friends share complaints with us then when voting comes up mentioning PSL and Green parties. They don’t live in a swing state but still are visibly shocked by the suggestion.

Wth, that’s obnoxious. They don’t even need a printer, a stamp or something should be fine

All the venues around here that I go to (nothing large, I’m pretty cheap) let you buy at the door. Obv depends on the show, but plenty of shows don’t sell out, so you can save yourself the fee by buying the ticket there

BMF?

One Palestinian state is the only solution.

How is a 2 state plan any different that the appeasement policy Eurpoean countries had for dealing with nazis? Even American schools talk about how bad an idea that was.

Weird. Was there a source claiming there was one?

Didn’t think to check Youtube. Ty!

Thanks!

I think they’re more regulated there, like the only flavor is tobacco, their use is prohibited in certain places, etc

Nice! I’ve been meaning to check it out too.

Any chance you could DM the link?

Is there a good site to listen to Blowback? Been meaning to check it out for some time.

Tried checking out the first season the other day and the sites I found it on had embedded ads and I couldn’t get through the first quarter of the episode before technical difficulties followed by an authentication wall, so kind of lost interest.
