Cable machines and rust in a pole barn gym?

I have a pole barn detached garage. When the seasons change sometimes things will rust due to condensation, like my barbell for example. would this affect cable machines? Don't wanna buy something and have it eventually rust.

How to tackle this?

We ripped off a vanity mirror that was screwed to the wall and all this came with it, I've already primed the raw paper spots and orange areas with oil based primer, is my next step hot mud and then sanding? Would you go with a 5 min mud or something a little longer? Should the mix be pretty watery and thin or more thick? This is in a bathroom above the toilet and I plan to put some shelves there, so id like it looking as decent as possible.

Old fan returning to new albums (my playlist)

I was a huge fan of metric and loved all their early stuff, I stopped listening after Synthetica came out, ventured in to new bands and genres to listen to. After seeing they just released a new album a few months ago I figured I'd return and check out everything they released after Synthetica, and what better way than to listen to every album beginning with their first. So far I've listened to every album up to romanticize the dive, and saved every song I love in to a playlist.

I think it's safe to say everything after Synthetica for me at least hasn't been that great. There's a few great songs but for the most part it's been underwhelming compared to the old stuff of theirs I fell in love with. How do you feel about this playlist of songs?

Anyway, going to listen to romanticize the dive on tomorrow's drive to work and then my playlist will be complete.

Any other stuff I should check out from bands or Emily haines her self? I've only listened to her emily haines & the soft skeleton stuff which I love but you definitely have to be in a mood for it.

Is it weird my ex-wife/mother of my child and my current wife text pretty frequently?

Been divorced 6 years now, re married to an amazing woman, lately my ex wife has been texting her pretty frequently. It's mostly random stuff, they both have anxiety and ADHD so they'll talk about that, or they'll talk about jobs/work, and sometimes my son. It's mostly my ex initiating conversations, and my current wife is too friendly to not converse with her so she always replies and continues the conversation. But part of me just finds it weird that my ex wife is always texting and that they have long random conversations about stuff that's not related to my child.

I've always been under the impression that you should only ever talk to a partners ex if it's about their child, I sure don't have any need to talk to her ex whom she has a child with, it's never even crossed my mind to text the guy, and it just feels weird to me to be friends and text with your partners ex. Am I being irrational? There's a part of me that wonders if there's some ulterior motive or she's trying to gain information about our relationship. She used to be a highly unstable person (part of the reason she's my ex) I've told my wife it's weird how my ex has been messaging her, and she has agreed, but she still continues to be friendly and conversate with her pretty frequently. She's my ex for a reason and I want to keep her in the past, I don't want her being a part of our relationship apart from being my sons mom. I only ever talk to her about our son and nothing else. Anyone else find it weird or am I just being stupid?

Can't find 2003 scythe

I logged in a couple years ago, and I had the Halloween scythe from 2003, today I decided to log back in to start playing again and it's gone? The toy store guy doesn't have it and thessalia in varrock has no option to return things to me I've lost? I'm positive I had one last time I logged in and I don't know any other option...

EDIT: so it seems that I have it on my RS3 account, not my OSRS account, is there anyway to get it on both?

Movie poster

This is a long shot, but does anyone know where to get a Michael Jackson movie poster? Or any Michael Jackson poster? My 8 year old son is obsessed with Michael, loves all his music and loves the movie and I want to surprise him with a poster but I'm seeing they're pretty pricey online

Will I regret selling 1k of my Bitcoin?

I have around .45 Bitcoin, around $30k worth, life's gotten in the way lately and I've incurred some expenses which has wiped out some of my bank acct, I'm on the fence between selling around $1k of my BTC to replenish my bank account or just keeping it and waiting to see what happens with Bitcoin. This wouldn't be sold at a loss, I've bought at $40k, 69k and 95k and never sold.

18v vs 40v weed eater

Any reason to pick 40v over 18v for very basic weed eating? I'd maybe use it for a total of 15-20 minutes of weed eating. I also have a little bit of brush on my property to clear, but once it's gone I'd never need the brush cutter attachment again. Is it worth saving a little bit of money and going with the 18v?

In the market for a router

I'm a very beginner woodworker, I maybe spend one or two days a month in my garage building various little things. I've been wanting to pick up a router but trying to keep it cheap. Does anyone have any opinions on this skil router kit? I have a skil circular saw and orbital sander already and have been happy with them.

Love when she's freshly cleaned

Just hit the 12 month mark with my maverick. Only have two gripes and it's the super thin paint on this truck, and how easily the interior plastic scratches. Every week I see a new chip..

Anyways, happy with my first ever brand new vehicle. Averaging 40 mpg

Kuololit quality and repair

My fiancees engagement ring is a 3ct oval moissanite, 10k gold ring. She's been wearing it for 6 months now, and as of recently the moissanite started falling out due to loose prongs. It's happened several times now, each time it would be put back in and the prongs tightened. Now yesterday one of the prongs just broke off only leaving 3. I'm really not happy with the quality of this ring, and it's quite worrying, so my only options are to send it in to kuololit for repair, have it repaired locally here in the USA or just get a new one and go with a more reputable brand.

My fiancee works from home at a computer all day so it's not like she's using her hands in a rough way, I'm not sure why this is happening, but anyway..

Has anyone ever sent their ring in to kuololit for repair? Wondering how that process went and the cost? I spent all I had on this ring and would hate to have to spend the same amount just to repair it.
