@eigenrobot@ChaletMocha@miltonappl3 Sometimes it is the actual shrinkage or warping of the window that contributes to the draftiness, which requires a little more carpentry know-how to fix...but it can be done.
@eigenrobot@ChaletMocha@miltonappl3 Sounds good. If the windows are drafty, it's potentially an issue of the expiration of the glazing putty on the exterior perimeter of the lites. Scraping out the old putty and paint, applying new putty and repainting would tighten them up dramatically. https://t.co/OSWLP2S8W3
@miltonappl3@eigenrobot@ChaletMocha The problem is the paint. You need to strip all the existing paint with something like a Speed heater cobra infrared heater, and then use linseed oil paint. No need for primer, and it will never peel. Just needs some maintenance with linseed oil and the very occasional recoat.
@eigenrobot@ChaletMocha@miltonappl3 Let me know if you ever need advice on refinishing them or tightening them up if they get drafty, etc., assuming they are still original. NEVER* replace old windows with new.
*You can get new ones made as they used to be if absolutely necessary.
@GreeneMan6 They all have imposter syndrome performing in traditionally male roles and it validates their anxieties to construe all previously competent men of power as actually incompetent, merely coasting along on their privilege.
@thewoolshire@reallytanman That was my first thought when I saw your tweet about all the millions of wasted cowhides in the world. Why isn't every single car interior wrapped in genuine leather?
@churrascooooo@bizlet7 "I'll do everything I can to help you get established in life. But at the end of the day, if you want more, it will be up to you and your drive and your hard work to get it."
@churrascooooo@bizlet7 I could go along with the idea if, after his son reached the $2,500 or whatever he wanted him to save up, he then matched it with an equivalent gift, or bought him a nicer car than he was planning on buying. Teach him some skills, impart that entrepreneurial spirit, but tell him:
@owroot I grew up with three siblings and two parents in two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom semis, and a 1200 sq ft single detached. My boss grew up in a single detached home of around 1600 sq ft with seven or eight of his eleven siblings.
@eugyppius1 My uncle never had his pilot's license, but he co-bought a de Havilland Tiger Moth with a guy who flew private jets for a living. It was a trainer for the RAF in WWII. He took me for a ride and man, what fun.
@Antweegonus@Steve_Sailer I believe the intellectual roots of the phenomenon are planted in the idea that white, phallogocentric patriarchy inherently detaches its subjects from the body and nature, and therefore those opposed to this way of being are described as being "grounded" in their bodies.
@martianwyrdlord I admire Carney's voracious and insatiable lust for power, and his commitment to achieve it by any means necessary. I only wish that there was someone like that who actually had interests aligned with mine.
@simonsarris As someone who lives there, I think about it almost every day. If the trendlines continue, my daughter will be growing up with worse healthcare, more expensive housing, a more dangerous driving environment, more crime, less freedom, less opportunity, etc. I must do something.
Not two weeks after I saw a thread on here about how oatmeal crops are doused with glyphosate at harvest time, my wife came home from COSTCO with these glyphosate-free oats from One Degree Organic. I never told her; she just knew.
@UCCavalier The Yarvin video circulating now addresses this. The Laurentian Elite is our predator. They were stalking; now they're charging. They can in fact continue this indefinitely until someone stops them or until the last heritage Canadians are quivering behind their electric fences.
