  • First dude hurt himself. There’s a number of people there running like they’ve blown their knees out. Then the over weight shuffle.

    It’s also comedic to see them all “run” with excessive gear on flopping around like it’s the first time they’ve ran in that gear in quite some time.

    I get the second string vibe from these guys. The yes man attitude as long as I get to bash some skulls in. The I don’t care who they are because I’m always scared and will use force. And if you look carefully, I thought I saw the respect my authority crew… Maybe it was that goofy, out of place cowboy hat.




  • Hmm partially. Thanks for the clarification tho. I do agree there are conveniences that are rentals . I think home ownership is a totally different conversation however so I’ll leave that one alone.

    Your statement that companies move towards this garbage subscription model is 100% accurate tho. Couple that with enshitification and you’re at the whims of stakeholder value and CEO bonuses. iTunes can remove and add songs to your library whenever, games can be bought then supporting servers decommissioned, hardware you’ve bought is intentionally hobbled because it’s behind some other subscription, and like you said it’s only getting worse. And every one of these collect and sell your data. So not only are you buying a service but you’re also a product bought and sold. That being said, rental conveniences are different than the subscription model. I don’t think ownership levels are different between urban or city.

    I’m also jealous of your outright home ownership lol. I’m working on my mortgage and with the locked in <3% apr I’m not going anywhere. But damn I’d love me 5 acres with a dry lot, access, and utilities already placed.




  • I’m not a contractor of any sort, just had to deal with a similar issue with my foundation.

    I have a real old slab that was cracking and water coming through my cold joint running any finishing I had in the basement. We addressed the issue with a sump pump covering the water ingress and put a water proofing membrane over the whole slab. AIl done on the interior. We were out about 5k for the pump and another 2k ish to repair the basement finish.

    From your photos, it looks like water is pushed towards the house and then getting in through the cold joint on your walkways/foundation. Maybe consult with a contractor quote or, if it were me and the basement didn’t have standing water, I’d patch the pieces that fell off yourself then seal the gap between walkway/foundation. Also the humidifier is probably a solid choice to start with
