Evidence that we are a race of toddlers: social acceptance of shoveling handfuls of certain types of food into our faces, to the point where the handfuls are too large to fit in our mouths, and some of it falls on the floor for others to clean up.

If the shelf already has an anchor strap attached to it, just screw right through that into the rawlplug.

Reply to comment by CountryClublican in Michigan Senate votes to repeal 2012 law restricting unions by TheArkOfTruth
“What does right to work mean in Michigan?”
Right-to-work laws have no impact in boosting economic growth: research shows that there is no relationship between right-to-work laws and state unemployment rates, state per capita income, or state job growth.
Right-to-work laws have no significant impact on attracting employers to a particular state; surveys of employers show that “right to work” is a minor or non-existent factor in location decisions, and that higher-wage, hi-tech firms in particular generally prefer free-bargaining states.
Right-to-work laws lower wages—for both union and nonunion workers alike—by an average of $1,500 per year, after accounting for the cost of living in each state. Right-to-work laws also decrease the likelihood that employees get either health insurance or pensions through their jobs—again, for both union and nonunion workers.
By cutting wages, right-to-work laws threaten to undermine job growth by reducing the discretionary income people have to spend in the local retail, real estate, construction, and service industries. Every $1 million in wage cuts translates into an additional six jobs lost in the economy. With 85 percent of Michigan’s economy concentrated in health care, retail, education, and other non-manufacturing industries, widespread wage and benefit cuts could translate into significant negative spillover effects for the state’s economy.

It gave employers the ability to terminate employment, without cause. “Right to work” did not give rights to workers.

Spend the extra on plywood. It’s lighter, and MDF shelves tend to sag over time, especially in humid climates.

Fix the water and drainage issues, and then pay a mason or concrete worker to skim coat the foundation. Then just paint after, if you want.

The movie alludes that his massive forearms are genetic, as his father shares the same features, and Popeye initially hates spinach.

Reply to comment by DarthDannyBoy in How to best cover fiber cement dangling tiny fibers (carcinogenic)? by UsefulBeginning
One time exposure is probably not too detrimental, but the problem with asbestos is that the fibers are so small and so light that they will float around in the air for a relatively long time. If you disturb asbestos and kick up fibers, you may have exposure over hours or days, in the area around it. That’s what makes it so problematic.

That makes sense. It doesn’t matter what the crank order is, the ignition order will be sequential.
1-3-2-1-3-2
3-1-2-3-1-2
2-3-1-2-3-1
2-1-3-2-1-3

Isn’t the ignition order wrong, too? Would a three cylinder fire sequentially, or wouldn’t it fire 1-3-2 or something

Check the cartridge for damage, and replace if necessary.
The “barely gets hot” sounds like the mixing valve on the cartridge could be stuck.

Don’t have to. If you’re wearing a blue shirt and blue tie, and spill, your white backup shirt will still match your tie.
