re: Gurgling sound in sink drain. Any ideas?
Posted by WhiskeyThrottle on 10/5/26 at 6:50 am to Commander Rabb
Do you have water treatment equipment, like a water softener by chance? Mine is plumbed into one of the master bath sinks. It is more of a running water sound but I guess I could mistake it for a gurgling noise.
re: I don’t remember people getting new roofs when I was younger.

It’s become a lucrative industry. A contractor nets $5K per roof/day for residential. The number of “roofing contractors” that have spawned in the last 8 yrs is insane. It’s also riding the social media wave as a top entrepreneurial path.
I have a buddy that owned a roofing distribution company in DFW and they recently sold out. He said he wanted to sell at this time because insurance companies are starting to squeeze the contractors and the contractors were pushing the squeeze to the distributor. He's now retired in his young 40s. Happy for him. But I'm curious how the industry looks in another 5 years or so.
He's also told me in times past that the industry is feast or famine. A hail storm would roll through and all the roofers would roll up in decked out lifted 3/4 tons and then a couple years later during a drought year, they would all be working out of work trucks or less than half ton trucks. It's a construction industry and owners/ workers largely don't put money aside for the drought years.
re: Pellet Grills

I’ve had one about 8years. They function as a smoker and grill, which is nice, and regulating the temperature is easy too. I think traeger prices have normalized now, but I bought a Pitt boss from academy and it’s been going strong.
I have a blackstone as well but I rarely use it bc the pellet grill is too damn easy.
I have a yoder and a Blackstone. I like to cook pork chops, chicken and steak on 250 then seer it on the Blackstone.
I definitely thought less of pellet smokers for a long time until I finally got tired of nursing a fire in a smoker all night for a brisket. Set the temperature and go to bed amd sleep like a baby. Its cheating and im perfectly fine with it.

seems like one of the best attributes of Zoyzia is that it tends to choke out weeds more than other turf grasses.
It does this very well. Just hope you got rid of all of the common Bermuda that might have been in the soil. My zoysia is doing great except in maybe 10% of my yard where I dodnt get the Bermuda nice and killed. Seems like mowing the grass taller there lets the zoysia win the battle but the war wages on.

So, you’re one of those “my career is my identity” clowns. Working for a corporation is nothing more than a transaction to collect a paycheck.
The interview process is the time for conveying what you can do for the company. After receiving an offer is when you discuss what the company can do for you. It isn't wrong per se to ask questions in the interview about off hours support, but an unsolicited "work-life balance" comment tells me that this person is going to start crying if you ask for their time outside of the normal work day.
I had a big ole boy candidate show up one day for a senior software developer job and on the elevator up talked about his diabetes and talking about his recent divorce and how he walked all the way around the building to find the front door. None of those are in particular exclusionary for the job, but the totality of what he talked about his personal life, I was immediately offput. Then he sat down to the interview table and pulled his cigarettes out of his pocket and put them on the table. . . It went downhill after that.

Not wearing a suit and tie in person. A collard shirt and sports coat is acceptable virtually, but nothing less.

Any facial hair other than a well groomed full beard (prefer clean shaven).
Asking about schedules, working from home, vacation, etc.
If the interview is scheduled for an hour but seems to be done in 20 minutes usually is a sign there’s a communication barrier.
I've never really seen you reference what industry generically you work in, but it would make a ton of sense if you ran a high end gay brothel or male strip club.

I really wanted the thread to keep going the way it was going, but since you brought it up, this is what I have at home and it is way more comfortable than the previous 3 throw aways I bought from Amazon. I didn't go with the cheapest I could find, but none of them were comfortable like the Shaqk chair.
This is the one I bought.

Not exactly, just find the whole dynamic entertaining: consistently sensible advice met with such hostility.
It isn't what he says so much as how he delivers it. And his advice is great for low income earners, but insists he's a top earner. He also projects his opinion blanketly. For example, I have a nice newer truck and he insists I'm in financial prison and still pay on it.
re: Woodworking tips for a first timer
Posted by WhiskeyThrottle on 9/20/26 at 4:39 pm to Loup
Oh youre biting into drawers right off the bat. Good for you. Drawer slides require a lot of fine detail tuning. But there are a few tricks that once you figure them out theyre not too bad. The biggest challenge imo of woodworking is figuring out how to keep everything as square as possible and that is easier said than done especially with a substance like wood that wants to do anything but stay straight amd square.

I'm convinced he tries to be unlikeable and I'm also convinced he has debt out the wazoo. Lives in a overpriced suburban house with a high interest rate and overpays for insurance. He also has a brand new diesel 3/4 ton with a bed cover and hates Toyota Tundras. Especially the previous models with the 5.7 V8.

Do any of your friends have a vasectomy? Or is that a question you ask before deciding if they're gonna be your friend or not?
What is the purpose of your OP. A generic judgement thread? Are you annoyed your kid can't get gender affirming care and this is you taking out your aggression? You tired of the pull-out method or wearing condoms?

My last 3 rounds have been Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde. Front 9 last 3 rounds were +9, +8, +11. Back 9 scores have been Even, +3, -1. No clue how I get out of this rut and get the front 9 in line. But it's brutal. Hole 1 has been my nemisis and I've played 3 different courses. Just flat not striking the ball efficiently out of the gate.

re: How do I prevent snakes in my yard? Close call yesterday
Posted by WhiskeyThrottle on 9/16/26 at 9:01 pm to 756
I have 2.5 acres. Ive never seen a venomous snake. I accredited it to keeping my yard mowed. The neighbors I know dont keep their property mowed and cedars limbed up and they have had rattle snake problems. We have roadrunners pretty frequently here. I see them with small snakes in their mouth frequently. Encouraging predatory birds and keeping habitat down to a minimum seems effective to me.
