  • Theoretically, from flooding your home to burning it down.

    Realistically, the two tiles behind those two you reset pop up because they are now the weakest link. But it’s all good because you still have about 3/4 of a bag of cement left lying around somewhere.

    On the note of flooding, though. Dont flush the unused cement down the drain or toilet. Straight to garbage. You can save the bucket if you wish by scraping everything out into the trash. I’ve seen it when guys just dump it down the drain. Boy, that ends up being expensive bill. Full night of back to back lap dances at the good place probably be cheaper.


  • Read here you little smart fucker. And read well. I’ve been in those exact shoes as you not too long ago. The only difference was i did chemical engineering. It sucked ass.

    1st most important thing is reduce your course load. Yeah it sucks that you are going to have to delay your graduation by about a year. But I can almost guarantee that you are going to fail classes and have to pay for them again and delay your graduation regardless. Cut one class minimum, 2 if you want to actually kill it in grades and compression of the material beyond what the classes offer. I learned this because well I did it by failing and being forced to reduce the corse load.

    2nd don’t take the classes in the given order from the school. For example. When I was doing Chem the school I went to set it as semester 1, math, applied Chem, instrumental analysis, organic Chem, lab tech, elective. Semester 2, would be math 2, applied Chem 2, physics, biology, organic Chem 2. Elective.

    In semester 2, I would just dump biology,physics, and pick up instrumental analysis 2 , lab tec 2. This way my head isn’t running back a related, unrelated subject when I’m trying to focus on something else.

    1. You have a choice. You can do subpar for everything and see how that goes or suck at something, but be great at others. And it’s not just school subjects. You can stretch yourself between school, wedding, work, and friends. But that’s just gonna be subpar all along the board. Cut the social life, if your friends are any fucking good they will understand. Delay the wedding. Do you love your spouse? Do they love you? Good enough you don’t need to prove it to anyone by having a wedding. If that’s not an option. Well then delay it because right now school is the most important and you would probably want to actually be able to invest your self fully into the wedding.

    This too shall pass and before you know it you will be back into the swing of things with friends and family.

    Work what kind of work is it? Before I comment on that.

    Also can you ride your bike to school. I found that to be incredibly helpful for some reason.

    Oh, and don’t worry about being slow. I was slow as hell, I was always the last to finish my labs, did all my tests with acomidations. Handed in all my work late or 2 minutes before dead line… that might be a lie I think all my work was late. By like a week or a month sometimes. But if you talk to your professors you would be amazed what kind of leniency they can give you. Hell I don’t think I ever even submitted a single Wilye? Wyly? How ever the fuck those con artists are called assigment. It was worth like 10% of my grade. But at the end of the term I could spend hours doing some bullshit online quiz or keep writing my lab report, or reading for my next morning labs.

    If a dumb fuck like me can pull it off you can too.

    My brother don’t, spin your head. Those are run off the mill homedepot porcelain/ceramic tile. Go to the home depot and ask for a bag of tile cement./ mortar. They will give you what you need. Get a bucket too. Put a bit of the cement into the bucket and add a bit of water mix until it’s got the consistency of mashed potatoes that need a bit more milk but your gona serve them any ways because you already put the milk away. Now butter up the floor with the cement mix and dampen with a cloth the back of tile. Butter the tile too. Don’t be shy put a good bloob on the floor and spread it. Set the first tile down and smash It down until it’s level with the rest. If it’s to high and won’t seat, slooooooowly and carefully pry up the tile with a wide tool. Don’t force it you run the risk of braking the tile. Scrape some cement of and try again. Put about the same amount pf the cement on the second tile and set it down. Wipe up the extra/mess and wait 24hrs.

    There is just not enough cement making actual contact with those tiles to begin with. Yeah you could re do the floors and “do it right” or for like 20$ and 3hrs fucking about you can have the floor back to what it was and it will probably last a good long time any ways.

    Edit also you should probably chisle out a bunch of the old cement that was under the tile that will help with better adhesion. When the new stuff goes down.





  • Yup. Used to buy the timberland boondocks all the time . They were comfortable, yes, but lasted about 6-8 months $300 a pair. End up getting a pair of cowboy boots steel toe etc, $150 amazon from a friend. Never looked back. Almost 10 months in they are stating to wear out, but my work environment doesn’t let footwear last. Hyd oil, diesel, flames, sparks, sharp steel. Etc. The best part is that there are no greasy nasty ass laces to tie in the morning and undo at night just slip on/off and go.

    Fuck timberlands and their garbage boots. Never again.





  • How is a license plate un safe?

    Lighting, okay bulbs burn. Some times it’s 2 minutes into an hour long drive. You gona write some one a ticket from that? People hate cops enough as it is.

    Use of signals? Okay the one time in 1000 where your finger didn’t quite catch the lever.

    Erratic driving. Is enforced. Just because you see some one driving like a fuck doesn’t mean there is a convient cop each time that saw it too.




  • Yes but also no. I agree but there is a big grain of salt to be had here. Yards like also help pests thrive too. Particularly ticks and rodents come to mind. Lots of hiding areas that are safe for rodents to avoid seen / caught. Easy safe pathways for skunks, raccoons, possums etc. Ticks are gona love the tall plants and moist conditions. Earwigs are gona be all up in almost everything that is there. If there is anything that grows fruit, well you vet your ass theres gona be way more paper wasps/balshead hornets/ yellow jackets etc. Is the increased pollen going to now cause more allergies for 8 year old Timmy next door? When winter rolls around all those wonderfull bugs and critters 100% gona want to cozy up in your 2000sqft home. From attic, basment, or kitchen Cupboard.

    Eveyone seems to miss the fact that a diverse environment doesn’t only just attract bees and Butterflies. It wouldn’t be "diverse " if it did.

    The big reason we grow grass and keep it short is for pest control.

    Lol I run a cnc plasma table and weld in my garage. My utility company frequently sends me a letter telling me that my power usage is significantly higher than the rest of the neighborhood.

    Bro take your dollars and fuck off. Don’t judge me if I get off on launching angry wall pixies from one spot to another. I don’t judge you on your ropes and bondage kinks you have parading everywhere.
