yeah, I don't see very much advertisement on the entire web but definitely none from reddit, even those inserted "post" ads seem to go away with a combo of Ublock Origin and Privacy Badger.

I still fuck with reddit some but I do it read-only. I have a couple accounts because it's the best place to get information on certain video games and niche hobbies.
But I do refuse to participate, I only lurk. Fuck that corporation, I contribute nothing and take only data center time.
edit: I guess I contribute user count
heh, I just dug one of those out of the scrap bucket and epoxied it into a drain plug in my truck that I finished rounding out in spectacular fashion.
I wasn't the asshole who started rounding it, but I sure was the asshole that finished the job. Replacement with an actual hex head on it is sitting on the workbench. No more water trap woes if the cheap hex wrench stays glued in that fucked up part
edit: it worked great. The plug had dielectric corrosion (steel plug in a mag/alum body) and at first I thought I just tightened it up too much but nope, I felt that rust break, saw the removal of material on the plug itself once it was all the way out, and I'm sure it's in the secondary fuel filter now. Replaced with a brass plug that had a 19mm hex head on it so no more worries. Big wrench, little torque kinda thing - it's the o-ring that makes the seal, not the torque.
We call it caveman TV sometimes. Can just sit there and stare at it
Painters and Allied Trades was completely run over by leadership in Denver 25-35 years ago. I think they are all out of prison now
Reads like something I would write with a gun pointed at my head.
What did you do, Sean?
How are they?
Nah, I ask CDOT to close the highway for me all the time, just to get in the way of people like OP!
They just do it, don't even ask me why.
no shoes, no pants, no service.
A travesty.
Actually, I want shoes. No pants, no problem.
Fuck whatsapp, Signal is available.

I think about this little tile in hotels a lot. It can never be the star of the show, but it can ruin the whole install. This little guy is barely hanging on.
(sh.itjust.works)
He's adequately square, but the dumbass that set him didn't quite push him flush. Most hotel showers have this problem. Sorry not sorry you will see this in every hotel room ever now.
They got big this week, even with the freeze in Denver. Every chicken thrived, I wrapped the little chicken hut in a moving blanket, wrapped again with a tarp, and put a little lean-to of a tarp over the food and water for the two day storm.
They are getting too big for the medium pet carrier, in about a week I will have to put them in the regular coop.
The weather in Denver is so nice and they seemed like they were so bored in the garage that I put them out earlier than I planned. I can always put them in the garage if we get a freeze. They are fully feathered so even freezing temps shouldn't harm them now. I'm out here at dusk because they don't know to go in their kennel at night and I'll have to pick them up and put them in, like I did last night.
The little garden fencing is to keep them separate from the 3 year old hens I already have, if you keep the different flocks apart so they can see each other everything is better when you want to bring them all together. The old hens were big mad when I brought the new pullets outside yesterday, making all kinds of noise and puffing up near the fence to show dominance. They will get along eventually and I'll keep the pullets segregated until they get closer to the same size. The garden fence is going to go around our raised beds this year because we have a lot of rabbits now, Mr Fox seems to have moved out of the neighborhood or died.
If anyone wants to be more self sufficient I highly recommend raising hens (fuck roosters). Each hen will lay about 250 eggs a year for four years, then they fall off on production. Just keep them well fed and they keep producing.
The eggs sit on the counter in our temperate house and they will last for a couple months like that. I preserve eggs for the winter by taking butt-fresh eggs and "water glassing" them. Plenty of info on the web about water glassing but you basically just make an oversaturated solution of food-grade lime and water (oversaturated means there's more lime in the water than it can hold, so it precipitates out as solid) and keep the eggs in that solution. A half gallon mason jar, 1/4 cup lime and about a quart of water will preserve 13 eggs. The preserved eggs are just fine 4 months later, 8 months later and they are only good for baking. "For science!" I ate three eggs sunny side up that had been preserved for over a year and although they were a little unappealing they were fine to eat.

They had the right idea when I went inside to get a broom (chicken wrangler) but once they saw me they just came back out and made the "MAMA!" cry so I had to pick them up.
Hand for scale.
Everychicken inside for the night.
Six new chicks for our backyard flock. These are three weeks old, today is the day I introduce the roost area which is a medium pet kennel. They will stay here until about mother's day because that's our typical last frost in Denver. The only other addition now will be netting on the top of the whole enclosure so I don't have to chase an escapee around my garage
edit: It's a baby pool that hasn't held water in at least 8 years, I keep it stashed behind the regular chicken coop. The cardboard is called "ram board" and used to protect floors on construction sites, I just take some scrap. The kennel is on the right, it's sitting on a milk crate so it's the same height as the lip of the pool. Ramp is just a piece of wood with a scrap of carpet stapled to it. Ramp is held in place with a spare allen wrench dropped through a hole in the ramp into the hole that latches the crate. Feeder is screwed to that 2x4 otherwise they knock it over. Waterer is filled with "chick boost", that shit is definitely worth it.
Photo is edited with "auto color", the light is a red one. Definitely use the red lights, the chicks will fucking murder a littermate if they see blood and the red light helps prevent that.
