Thankfully there aren’t any strong smells as far as I can tell. All the rooms smell pretty clean.

When we moved in there were a couple of sites of water damage that us and our home inspector could see in the basement. The biggest one was below the main bathroom, looked like a pipe busted at some point, but the inspector noted that it looked like it was cleaned up ok and that there didn’t look to be any mold growth on the spots he could see.

As far as anything recent, we haven’t had any notable water spillage since we moved in.

We’ve been looking into hiring a contractor for some remodeling work so I’ll be sure to ask when we’re talking through what we want with the house.

Thank you for the advice!

I haven’t been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I’d say it’s fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.

It’s what plants crave I guess.

I’d be worried about the now excess co2 levels disrupting the normal saturation levels in the groundwater.

Where’s Upton Sinclair when you need him?

The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that’s got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don’t have as many flavors, but they’re not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.

Huh. I would think that having everyone leave quicker would be more likely to cause an emergency than to prevent one. But also, like, the band practiced for this and the school (?) I’m guessing, gave the green light to go ahead and have the band play at the game. The least they could be allowed to do is finish their performance that they’ve been practicing.

One thing that I haven’t been able to glean from reading up on this incident was the exact reason the cops were trying to stop the performance. Was there an emergency and they had to clear everyone out? Not to imply the excessive escalation was justified, it isn’t imo, just wondering what set these officers out on stopping him in the first place.

No no, you misunderstand. The plants have so many tomatoes that the cages are bending. There are so many tomatoes.

I use resources on weather.gov for most of my personal forecasting. I know there are forecasts on there but I usually only need it for readings like pressure, humidity, and wind speed. Also I don’t own a Doppler radar which is a very useful tool for figuring cloud density and shape. I do want to get a lightning detector though. That sounds neat.

As for your beans, if you got some spare cans and like pickled things, assuming they are green beans you could pickle them and they’re pretty good. I like em that way at least.

Edit: I forgot to mention the accuracy of the forecasts. I have precipitation down pretty good. That’s just pressure, wind direction, and cloud cover/type of cloud. Temperature is effectively magic where I live so it’s hard to pin down. Still haven’t figured out that one yet.

| Weather watching - I’m by no means a meteorologist but I understand a bit of cause and effect for most weather patterns in and out of my area. I mainly use weather.gov for my informational resources and they also have guides on a lot of weather related stuff.

| Lockpicking - I started before lockpicking lawyer popped off but I deeply appreciate him for making fun videos about the subject and bringing it out of obscurity. He definitely is much better than my amateur self and makes it look easy in general. As for starting out, check your state and local laws because in some places possession of the tools is illegal if you don’t have the right licensing, in others intent is critical but possession is not. Don’t break into anything you don’t own is an obvious one. Finally you can get a set of hooks, rakes, and torque wrenches online for $15-30 (prices may vary) and key locks are pretty cheap.

Weather watching (not the extreme kind) - I basically note down the current weather and interpret my own forecast then later see if I’m right.

Lockpicking - it’s basically a tiny little puzzle and I can buy different solutions for a few bucks at any store.

Gardening - this is less obscure/quirky and more that I don’t want people to think that I’m bragging about how many tomatoes I have because I will in fact brag about how many tomatoes I have.
