The real surprise is why anyone wastes money on any of those overpriced steaming services. It’s not a typo. I’d rather take a minor hit in resolution than pay those crap companies.

It’s a brutally competitive and toxic game.

I don’t get it. Do all of it if it makes you happy, but get paid if you can and love doing what you do…

Is there a light switch that controls it? Maybe lighting options that can hang.

I’m confused. Is this meant to say that if it’s an unpopular opinion, just muzzle them? I was taught that civil discourse was meant to find common ground, and censorship was bad.

You might be right, but I think it’s this way because most people don’t have any real idea how either system “works.” Haha, that’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one. One system is set up to be dependent on good income for good insurance or good employer with benefits but has massive government wastage, which could easily fund a better medical system for lower income people. The other depends on taxes for the funding but has the same government wastage problems and massive incompetency in getting good people into the medical field.(ex: limiting number of doctors or nurses that can graduate)

It would be, but I pay through my nose in taxes for that system to be extra shitty. I’m not gonna sit here and say the US is better or worse because it’s subjective. If you make good money to pay for good insurance or have a good job and / or employer who gives good benefits, it is undoubtedly better, low wait times good service. But if you’re in the opposite group, which usually needs a good system more so than the better off people because of obvious dietary and time advantages they have to take better care of their health, than it’s a disaster of system, die in waiting rooms like we do. That’s all to say that we can pay for private insurance which compares to the prices in the states and pay a lot via taxes, which I can’t because I can’t afford both or “live” cough cough with a system that is just terrible. But to be clear, by no means is this a pissing contest, I feel your pain.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get treatment soon. Isn’t it amazing how the world thinks our medical system is so great? There have been multiple deaths at the hospital near me of people waiting to see a doctor in emergency… not to mention people I know who would still be here today if the doctors in that same hospital were halfway competent, but since they can’t be sued for malpractice, nothing happens…

My chemical dependence

No expert, but maybe look into foundation patch, for where I am, it’s a rubberized sheet that would glue to the outside around the affected area. Once back filled, the pressure from the dirt is more than enough to keep it in place. I have done that kind of repair before, and it worked for years after till the place was sold. As repairs go, it’s inexpensive. You just need a shovel time and the patch. Just do your homework as to it being a viable solution for a block foundation as mine was poured, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. As was said before, trying to fix it from the inside is an uphill battle.
