We live near Peterson, but the display from Great America is occluded by trees. Has anyone scouted out a place to loiter and enjoy the show without driving?

Bit of a rambly question and it's more metalworking than welding, but hopefully you guys will tolerate it. The metalworking group feels much more bot and meme based and I am looking for human input.
I live in a third world jungle. Buying a house for my family that is little more than a concrete box. Wooden furniture that won't rot in the humidity is prohibitively expensive for things like shelves and built ins. I am planning on moving from regular iron to stainless anyway- so I'd like to build out the house storage with stainless- maybe painted so it doesn't look like a hospital...
Anyone done some domestic projects like this they care to share photos of?

In the USA today we use a street name with a number for each building followed by city state and zip code. But for common directions street name and building number. I moved to Thailand a few years ago and while the cities have adopted this format most of the country uses neighborhood name followed by a street number and good luck on finding the building you want- just use magic. So for example you might live in Rop Waing (small village or neighborhood name) Soi 3 (third ally) or Ban Du Soi 1.
What did we do in the west before the modern formal system? When did we start naming streets?
I've gone to war with mom's toenail fungus. I've read you should replace all shoes. Do you do that during the war? Or beat the fungus then replace the shoes? I don't want to need to buy two sets.
Bay area CA. This tree has one of those split trunks. One seems to have been dead for years and several branches don't sprout leaves. Should I cut them off? Is there something I can do?
Any amateur woodworkers interested in a commission? I want a furniture piece that doesn't need to be heirloom quality, but needs to be custom.
What are they doing with the old laurelwood campus
I live overseas with my head in the sand most of the time and just heard about this. But every website I see looks suspicious. Where is the correct place to file? Thank you
I came here after failing to get the new belt on a ge top loader. I had the machine just tilted back enough for me to shimmy under- but the amount of oomph that apparently is needed is not available to me in that orientation. Do you lay them on their back or side so you can manhandle it?

I have a weird job. Part of it is helping a hoarding family slowly dehoard and live as close to a normal life as possible while we do that. I work with them 1 month on 3 months off and it is very much a 3 steps forward 2 steps back deal.
​
Anyway, a huge portion of my time is spent helping undecorating and redecorating. (The hoard is 60% holiday crap) So in addition to playing the sliding number puzzle with boxes I swap out a houseful of artwork.
​
I'm looking for a better way to store and retrieve the art. Pictures range from like 8x6 inches all the way up to 4x3 feet. I imagine some kind of slide in and out shelf-thing, but can't think of a way to do it that will be net less effort.
Hey, I know I'm going to outgrow this in just a few hours, but I'm curious.

I'm the beginner build the ice shards enchantment is chosen, but not ice bolt or frost nova. The ice shards enchantment makes you auto fire ice shards at frozen enemies- swell. But nothing in the build freezes enemies. Ice shards doesn't apply chill or freeze.
Hey folks, this came through my Facebook and I found it curious- but in the spirit of today's nonsense content... There is no resolution. Wtf is this going to do?

It was explained to me the need to move to fiat was so the economy could grow faster than we find new gold. But couldn't we back the currency with more than one thing? One dollar is worth x gold or y silver or z corn... Or whatever?
Maybe a dumb question, sorry.
Does one of those weed burning heads put out less heat than a standard torch head?
Last winter on an absurdly cold day we tried to melt some cans with the weed head and couldn't really maintain the heat. Burned some cans, got a bit of melt, but like... We fooled around for an hour and could not achieve any sort of puddle. Had the cans in a cast iron pan.
Bought a no name brand and it's been a nightmare of garbage service and credit card fraud. Want to replace them with Ring devices.
Suggestions on models and where to buy them.
My aunt owns a rental that she refuses to rent. She is old and irrational and high maintenance. Looking for two cameras, one front one back. House usually has power, but could lose it. No internet.
So our household has 4 tweens, two of which are adopted brothers. One of those has seen some abuse- physical, mental, the kind I'll get removed for mentioning (probably), as well as whatever you call it when the other child is the beneficiary of tremendous favoritism.
He and his younger brother are very close, but you can see pleasure in the older one when the younger has anything bad happen. The older is very very addicted to his screen time and we now police this very tightly. He winds up with no phone a lot... When he doesn't have his phone his entire demeanor changes and he becomes the social leader of the group. He doesn't want to be bored and he organizes activities, convinces the others to use the tv so he can surreptitiously watch... And it looks super fake- like sociopath style- can't play with phone let's use siblings as toys.
Anyway, he likes to try to leave class early so he can play soccer before the car home... Except he will let the car wait for him. Zero remorse.
On the one hand he had a really rough time and I can absolutely understand a "the rest of the world can fuck right off, I'll get mine" attitude. Except he has been with us two years and in that time he has had a lot of comfort, attention, and zero inequality- it's like a full time job making sure. The only thing he seems to care at all for is his screen time- which he loses constantly anyway because he will abuse it. (I monitor it with an app, so I catch him all the time).
I need ideas.
Friend of mine broke a necklace she loved about a decade ago. I fixed it by replacing the back with a little piece of purple heart. She wore it for almost 10 years and the back separated from the front. In doing so it pulled the image off of the acrylic front piece. I'll need to glue the acrylic back on to the purple heart over the flower face.
Loosely I'm thinking I'll sand the back of the acrylic to 2000grit and then just glue it to the flower face and that I need a glue that will dry invisible clear. But my confidence is low.
Any suggestions?
I don't really have a point or question. Just a new way to whoops.
I can never find twist on syringes. Like, in 5 years I found them once. So I use standard old style compression syringes. I have what might be a bad habit... I press a little air out before I had my pinning needle so I have to get less air through the tiny needle. I find with the needle bubbles sometimes don't want to go up the little guy... But this means a bit of the solution gets on the outside of the compression sleeve on the syringe.
Anyway, yesterday it felt like the sustanon was being particularly stubborn about moving through the needle. I pressed harder and harder (I mean, still just my index finger at that goofy angle for a delt pin) and after only about 25% of my 1.2ml the syringe popped out of the needle base And sprayed everywhere.
I just did a fresh one on the other side. So now maybe I'll be like the gorillas that come here to brag about steroids? JACKED!!
Is it real?
I mean, obviously it's real (I suppose, I've never seen one) but is it... I guess I want to say "common", but that seems clearly not the case either.
Lately I've had a run of cuts from rusty things- some impressively rusty and decent cuts. I didn't realize that you needed additional tetanus boosters after childhood. I haven't managed to get one yet and was wondering if it actually matters.
I'm not looking for the classic "it doesn't matter until it does" comment. Do you know anyone who has had it? Not "heard about", but know someone. And not a "know someone who knows someone" either.
