First-World Problems...

That's a copper bar sink. It looks fantastic when it is polished and bright shiny copper. Or when it has tarnished and has an ancient-looking patina.

But nowhere in between!

So I let it go, but I am impatient and just throw up my hands before it ages gracefully and polish the damned thing. Which lasts a week.

Lather, rinse, repeat!

4 I have a Cu kitchen hood. You can get any patina you want on it by various acid treatments. They usually recommend getting this done by the manufacturer, though.

20 Anyhow,

Just had an odd experience.

Lucy the Fink got her hackles up and was growling at the window. I look out and there's an old old doggo, a pit mix medium sized dog, shivering and looking in the window. I go out in my courtyard and say hello and the poor thing leans into my hands and my legs and is whimpering. I gently looked at her tags and went inside to get my phone. She wanted to follow me inside and sadly I couldn't let her.

Her name was Lucy. I called the number and the owner picked up right away and was just a block away looking for her. He showed up in his truck and she didn't react at all. She would have stayed with me. Gay guy in his bathrobe and slippers with two other bigger doggos in the back of the covered pickup truck. He was very thankful and polite. But the dog wasn't in the least happy to see him or his siblings.

I'm not a dog person.

But I am cooking an Easter roast. Maybe that's the explanation.

Just felt off.

Not seeing a problem here.

Now my first world problem is sink related. My dish washer doesn't drain for crap! Have had it rebuilt three times under warranty and it still doesn't drain. I finally found that if I run the drain hose just so, and shake it at the right time in the drain cycle, it will complete the washing.

48 Thinking outside the box, what would be an ideal material for a bar sink?

Non-tarnishing.
Resilient, so dropped glassware might not break in the sink.
Massive enough so that running water does not drum on it.
Easy to clean, needs no polishing.

Why not mold bar (and other) sinks out of solid Teflon or Delrin plastic, with a shiny finish?

I had a humbling experience a number of years ago. A dog was lose on US 1 in traffic and was completely panicked. I stopped my car in the road and went after him. Got him in my car and he started licking me in thanks. Had a tag but I didn't have a map, finally found the house. Thinking I'm going to be a big hero I knocked on the door with him in tow. A drunk asshole answered the door. Dog immediately tried to bolt. He screamed at the dog and grabbed his collar and started beating him as he dragged the dog back inside.

I felt terrible. A serious WTF moment.

Had a sorta similar thing happen here in AJ a few years ago, I was down during summer, doing some work on the house, and two pitties or pit mixes showed up in the front driveway. I thought at first they might be going after my dog, inside the fenced yard, but they ignored her. They were both marked up with scars, and were timid and thirsty. One of the neighbors came by, and said, "Give them some water." I did, and they lapped it up. He said, "they probably belong to some (n-word) who uses them for fighting. We called Animal Control, who eventually shows up, and after some palaver, loaded the pair into truck. No sooner done, than an old pickup shows up, driven by a black guy, says they are his dogs, and the cops turns them over to him.

99 >>bar sinks have flat bottoms to accommodate dirty glassware

I installed a bar sink the same design as CBD's in my old place but it was brass not copper. Also it was asshoe.

Put a flat bottomed stainless sink in current bar. Maybe not quite as bling but a hell of a lot more useful.

184 Illiniweek, regarding the 3 days and 3 nights-
MacArthur explains it
Matt. 12:40 three days and three nights. Quoted from Jonah 1:17. This sort of expression was a common way of underscoring the prophetic significance of a period of time. An expression like “forty days and forty nights” (see note on Matt. 4:2) may in some cases simply refer to a period of time longer than a month. “Three days and three nights” was an emphatic way of saying “three days,” and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of three days. Thus, if Christ was crucified on a Friday, and his resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as three days and three nights. All sorts of elaborate schemes have been devised to suggest that Christ might have died on a Wednesday or Thursday, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretation.

Beer bread uses beer as a leavening agent. You can use good beer, or you can use cheap beer. The flavor will change but it seems a pity to lose a can of decent beer

197 My first world problem: 1 of our 4 outdoor sconces failed and their those stupid "last forever built in LED" crapola lights.

Naturally, we're replacing all three and also putting in timer switches which are supposed to be sophisticated enough to account for the change in when the sun sets and rises. Yeah, for some reason, I just can't abide the idea of leaving a switch on and letting a photo cell turn my outdoor lights on and off.

216 I had my house pretty well automated with Samsung SmartThings. My dog chased a ball under a tv stand and unplugged everything. The SmartThings hub failed to restart when plugged back in.

I could replace the hub. But thing 1 two generations have passed of the device since the one I had. Second I have to reregister all the devices with the new hub including the ones I custom programmed. But one of the more important devices - the light and fan in our bedroom - needs the remote so I can register it. And I can't find that remote.

Gah. I think I am going to go Amish here in the house. Or at least return to the 2000s.

229 I went back to Codell KS for a second look. They had a tornado three years in a row, 1916-18. It happened on May 20th each of those years and they got worse each time. The 1918 one took out most of the buildings in town and killed 8 people, five of them children. (Then the survivors got to deal with Spanish Influenza). More here: https://tinyurl.com/mr9kj9ph

I liked the story about one boy that was ripped from his parent's arms, then found unharmed a short distance away. He liked to tell his classmates about flying through the air in the tornado.

She used inclusive, men, women, and hangover in her defense of why she blew up the brand. She basically said it was a dying brand (meaning she hates white men) and she needed to save it by blowing it up. Sort of like a MD murdering the patient. I think she has succeeded as she has in one move completely changed how Bud Light will be seen from now on.
