PSA Dagger Reliability
Can anyone speak to PSA Dagger reliability? It’s not something I’d buy to be an EDC necessarily, but more so a fun gun. Gen 3 clone to customize and just have a good time with.

Has anyone DIY’ed their Driveway?
I was pressure washing weeds out of the cracks in our concrete sidewalk and asphalt driveway over the weekend when I finally realized just how badly the asphalt is cracking and breaking apart. It likely needs fully redone (demo, new sub base, etc.). So it got me thinking….has anyone DIY’ed their own driveway and been pleased with the result? I’m open to asphalt or concrete. I’m pretty handy and I am aware that speciality tools would be necessary to do either task. I just know it will cost me an arm and a leg to pay a contractor, so I would like to explore the possibility of doing it myself.

Would you take this job offer?
I’m a transportation engineer in PA with 5 years of experience and actively studying to take my PE exam this year. I received an offer from a larger firm and I’m wondering what you all think.
roughly a 6% base pay increase, although the new position would be salary vs my current hourly position
Benefits are considerably more expensive but slightly better
Slightly more Paid Time Off (2-3 days more)
Same hybrid work policy as my current firm (3 days in office, 2 days WFH)
Much better 401k match (currently half of first 4%, new position would be of the first 8%)
The new firms design work appears to be more aligned with my personal interests
The new firm appears to have more staff to support me in my role than I currently have, along with what seems like ample opportunities for career development
I got a very good impression from the hiring managers and they appear to seem very interested in me and my unique experience.
I have some initial thoughts and opinions, but I wanted to open it to the rest of you to see what you think

Palram Greenhouse Temperature Control
Hi all, my fiance is heavily into gardening and starting her own seeds so a family member gifted us a 6’x8’ Palram greenhouse as pictured. We enjoy having it, except the issue we’ve found is the ability to control temperature is little to none. There’s a vent on top, but even with it open it’ll easily get to 110+ degrees Fahrenheit on an 85 degree day, so we usually end up having to open the door too. We’d like to be able to use it more months out of the year (in PA so we do get relatively cold winters) so I was wondering if anyone has modified something like this before to keep it to a reasonable temperature in the summer and above freezing in the winter? My initial thoughts would be fans controlled my thermostats to keep more air moving in the summer and a solar heater in the winter, but I was hoping to find some inspiration from someone else. Thanks!

Wedding venue suggestions in Harrisburg area?
Does anybody have any recommendations for relatively affordable wedding venues in or around the Harrisburg area? We’re trying to plan ours out and I don’t even know where to start tbh. Thanks!

Anyone with experience with weddings at US National Parks?
Got engaged to my fiancé May 15th after being together for 7.5 years. We want to have some kind of a wedding, but given our personal financial situation and our immediate family’s financial situations, we’re somewhat limited in terms of what we can spend. I’ve been seeing a trend of younger couples doing small intimate ceremonies at US national parks so I’ve been researching what I can; but, I wanted to see if anyone had personal experience and can share how it went for them
