Re: The George Santos Revenge Tour Begins And he's naming names - Yesterday

He will make money off his book tour. I heard his autobiography is being ghost written by Ernest Hemingway. I want to also get a look at his updated resume.

Re: Cat folks: make a shelter for the stray? - Yesterday

I agree with the “tote” shelter linked to earlier. There are modifications to that design that I like such as using a styrofoam container for the interior section (such as Omaha Steak or pharmacy coolers). I use a double sided tape to affix an insulating metallic bubble wrap to the inside of the styrofoam containers top, bottom and all sides. It is inexpensive and reflects the cats heat. It i

Re: Recommend a printer for Tarot/Playing Cards - 21 days ago

Here is my old company, WestRock. Started at a mom and pop shop (actually brothers) 25 years ago and through strange evens and hard work was doing International Preflight for these folks until a couple years ago. Now it looks as if the Irish “Smurfs” have bought them.

Re: Recommend a printer for Tarot/Playing Cards - 21 days ago

Yeah, didn’t think there would be too many that would have die cut card experience but you never know so just thought I would ask. My old company does all sorts of die cuts, coatings, foils, cards etc but they are international and too expensive for short runs. He has a decent color printer but it doesn’t do coatings. With handling there would be too big a chance of smudging without a good gl

Recommend a printer for Tarot/Playing Cards - 22 days ago

I have an artist friend that will be designing some Tarot or Playing Cards for a customer. I see a wide range of printers from here to China. Has anyone had satisfactory experiences with any of these folks? He also has designed several comic books so any experiences with 4c or spot color comic book printing appreciated as well.

I am on ONE Plan 55 unlimited, did not receive an email notification by the 18th so I logged in and contacted customer service using chat. I thought my plan might not be affected but Kristina said she could reverse the move. I said I definitely did not want a new plan. She said OK but I never received an email for confirmation. You would think a text or email would be forthcoming.

Re: Covid vaccine roll call thread - 7 weeks ago

Walked up for RSV while waiting for tires at Costco. Flu and Covid walk up while visiting the store the week before. My wife got the Flu Vaccine but since she had Covid 3 weeks ago we are waiting on her update. Living in a red state such as Indiana there is generally no problem finding any vaccinations. Here Costco only had the Pfizer. Last boost and all previous shots were Moderna.

Recycle an Apple 21 inch Sony CRT with other electronics? - 8 weeks ago

Have an attractive 23 year old Apple Monitor that takes up a lot of room with my old G5. Received this as a gift from my old boss saving it from the electronics dumpster. I am turning in 2 RCA 32 inch CRT televisions and some beige 17 inch CRT monitors all for no charge. Thought the “tripod” studio monitor was beautiful. Should I put it in the pile or try to find it a home locally. I feel gui

Re: Rudy Giuliani sued by longtime former lawyer over alleged $1.4 Million in unpaid bills - 2 months ago

Will his current legal team take note of this when they defend him? Can he still run a tab or pay as he goes? He will have plenty of time with appeals to wait for money from Xi or Puti if they still deem him a valuable asset. Of course that dark money will probably go through Trump channels like the NRA. Just a guess.

Glad the plumber was able to get it open. With the main blockage remedied you might want to consider some preventative maintenance to keep things running smoothly. Cheers!

Re: Basement floor drain is blocked - 2 months ago

I understand. The biochem would be the cheapest and possibly most effective if it works for you. Maybe not the fastest. With repetitive applications it will break up the sludge and not do any harm to the older pipes. I’m sure the city main is fine or your neighbors would be complaining. The water purge was just a test to see if your main floor pipes were also affected. Good luck with what

Re: Basement floor drain is blocked - 2 months ago

Several plumbing companies offer a main line cleaning for $99 or less with a 1 year guarantee. These deals will come with a “free” video inspection as they try to up sell you if a different solution is needed (flat spot, broken or rusted steel or broken tile, etc. this would have to come through your clean out to get at least a 3 inch auger/blade in there.

Re: Basement floor drain is blocked - 2 months ago

How old is the house (drains)? Our house was built in the 40’s. We had a history of handling our hydraulics so ask if you need years of advice. We used a small motorized auger my neighbor had to break through a clog in the smaller 3 inch drain. We were initially going to pay about $600 to have the line water jetted. We were tipped off by a local plumber to try an enzyme that eats organic materi

Re: Please indulge my cord-cutting ignorance (again). - 3 months ago

The beauty of subscribing to streaming services is that you are not under contract so when football season starts pick the streamer that has what you want and then cancel when it is over. Rationalize that you would have been paying more for cable anyway and this way you get more bang for your buck. Good luck!

Re: Please indulge my cord-cutting ignorance (again). - 3 months ago

My wife and I cut the cable a little over a year ago. This website helped us decide which streaming channels to use. You can compare the “must haves” to available access in your specific area. We cut the cable and had Comcast and I looked into AT&T, T-Mobile and Spectrum. I already used T-Mobile for phone service but stayed with Comcast for internet. T-Mobile wireless was $50 a mon
