Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.

Don’t worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You’ll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You’re welcome!

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement with

I’m a connoisseur myself and travel with my own stash. The stuff they have in most public restrooms is so cheap it’s like wiping your ass with a CVS receipt.

I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on

- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 month ago:
There is always the possibility the clog isn’t in the toilet itself but further down the drain. You can test this by running faucets and seeing if the sinks drain properly

- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 3 months ago:
I can’t speak for NY but that is the situation in Cleveland. I have a customer downtown on city steam. I watch hot water discharge to a drain at the rate of about 3 gallons a minute and there’s 1440 minutes in a day. When it was built I’m sure they reclaimed most of it (80% return is considered good) but over time the pipe corrodes and you have leaks.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 3 months ago:
It’s terribly inefficient. The efficiency is lost when the steam that condenses back into hot water is lost and none of it is returned to the boiler to be reheated. Rather than reheating this returning water which normally is at 120-160 degrees Fahrenheit, fresh water is used which in the winter here is around 56 degrees. Aside from this the cold water taken in contains impurities such as dissolved gasses which cause corrosion and dissolved minerals which can cause scaling that acts as an insulator raising the amount of energy needed to heat the water.

If it were that simple everyone would have done it by now. This method of heating your building is very expensive. Long story short, I’m in the HVAC business and two of my customers have made themselves independent. One was a private property management company that gutted an empty building and was successful, the other is a federal building that hired a private company to convert over and got screwed.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 3 months ago:
Some big cities originally heated their buildings by producing steam in one one centralized building and delivering it to large buildings thru pipes underground. The steam you see is from leaking pipes in this antiquated infrastructure. It’s a very inefficient method if you ask me. Cities should offer these buildings low interest loans so they can update and be independent but they never take my advice

I lived through all that too except for very early Sunday mornings our local station would show Felix the Cat and Popeye cartoons followed by Davey and Goliath. I think they got away with t because it was before church started and Davey was somewhat religious
