Those are costs to handle infestation (but not including repair). I’m talking about the measures we take to prevent it in the first place that are already part of standard construction costs. Keep wood dry, pressure treat wood that can’t be kept dry/off the ground. So while sugarcrete might not be the 1:1 replacement for concrete, termites are not going to be an insurmountable task to mitigate
My motorcycle was made in 2000 and a previous owner added a headlight flasher module at some point. Some rodent crawled all the way up inside the bike and into the nose cone just to gnaw on the flasher wires. I have looked around and inside many places over the years but have never found any other bite marks.
We figured it out for wood, so if this is Termite edible, I’m sure we they’ll figure it out here
I saw the image embedded in one of the comments here before hut somehow didn’t realize the gravity of it until this thread
Looking at the prices, my cheap ass would sacrifice some portability and opt for a tripod and a lightly fabricated aluminum or oak stick (read: drill 3 holes) to make a 24-36" offset mounting plank and carry a 5lb counterweight
Alright, seeing the moons was harder than I remember with 10x50 Nikon AE. Handheld, about 80deg up. For a few moments, I could pick them out, but the shakes got too intense to see them again reliably. That’s with decent knowledge of what to expect. My memory is probably based on the one time I actually used my homebuilt parallelogram mount. Or maybe when jupiter was 30deg up and my elbows were on a railing
By split a gallilean moon, do you just mean see up to 4 moons separate from Jupiter? I’m pretty sure I can distinctly see them, at least with elbows on a railing or on some mount. I guess I’ll have to look tonight if it’s clear. I kinda only remember catching 3 at a time and not investigating further. I do have 20/15 vision so I guess that plays a role. Good point to remind me not everyone has my hawk eyes. I don’t catch much color though. Usually too small and washed out. It’ll have slight pink bands at best. I haven’t been able to note a crescent shape for venus, either. But I figure even cheap scopes can show my planets, so it hasn’t been my focus
+1 on binos. They’ve kept me happy because they fit in a backpack or carry-on luggage. I’m deep in light pollution, so viewing is best done with some travel. They have less magnification, but they’re as bright as a much more expensive telescope and there’s a certain value to having two eyes on the night sky.
10x50 is where I landed. Probably the same weight as your 7x50. While yes, the 50(mm) describes the outer objective lens, the key thing is really the lens on the eye side. Divide the aperture by the mag and you find that exit pupil size. 50/10=5mm, which is about the size of a dilated adult eyeball pupil - and they get smaller as you age. I’m guessing you have a Celestron or similar astro bino which has some advantages for this hobby. I am surprised at the ~$40 price tag, so I no longer want to recommend against it. Where I WAS going was that 7x35s would likely give a similar image from a reputable manufacturer while saving a little weight and being more likely to be found at a garage sale. But who could say no to $40 new 7x50s? As long as OP avoids those 20x50 boating binos or 10x25 hunting binos, they’ll be in good shape. My 10x50s are closer to OP’s budget because I opted for Nikon Action Extremes to survive my beach spot, hikes, travel, drops, and any other mishaps alike. Things go bump in the night so rubber coating and waterproofing was worth it to me
NOx is not Nitrous Oxide and is not short for Nitrous Oxide. Nitrous Oxide is specifically N2O. NOx refers to both Nitric Oxide (NO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), both of which are far, far more damaging to health and atmosphere than N2O. NOx emissions are the reason diesel is generally nonexistent in US passenger vehicles - not even great mpg numbers have sufficiently-low NOx emissions.
Even if it included N2O, using nomenclature with a variable like “NOx” and grouping it all together as one inert byproduct vastly underrepresents harm. Imagine if you referred to another group as “COx” but saying it’s relatively inert and easily detected by way of a burning lung sensation but feeds plants so it’s not all bad because Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has that effect. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is completely left out of that description and will silently kill you.

Again? Still?
No, this was Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult and it was released this year
If we lived in a dream where housing was somehow always provided, sure. But we don’t. So what to all the people who don’t have savings for a down payment do if the only option is to buy? Not live anywhere?
I bought a “mystery ticket” for $5 at a Regal and ended up seeing The Order. Pretty intense at times when you abstract to real life, pretty upsetting at times. Remember to be intolerant of the intolerant.
I have not been in a packed theater since Avengers Endgame. I have been to the theater dozens of times since then. Don’t go opening night or maybe even opening weekend. Most ticket sales at my AMC and Regal are prepurchased with assigned seats, so you can see what’s open and not blocked. You can move around anyway once inside. And all my local ones rebuilt the floor for a greater slope anyway
What’s the difference between profiting from stocks or profiting from rent? Either way, I’m increasing my spending power
Good job baiting me into reading the whole article. It goes through a whole lengthy explanation of the idea that a mini black hold could gut a body and leave it empty. The author finishes by asking if one could be in your house. The scientist says not that they’re aware of, but maybe nobody thought to look. May as well have asked the scientist if they checked their butt hole.
I thought Desmond was supposed to die in 2012
Well, you see, the blood was warm when it was spilled. Unfortunately, because the customer was in the 3rd tier SuperSavings Freedom Unlimited* HSA Semi-Preferred SelectChoice Healthcare plan, all claims require a 24-hour waiting period after symptoms erupt to allow rebuttal from the primary physician. The blood was only cold after the grace period elapsed.

But also figure out what you may need to do in the legal/regulatory departments because most populated places don’t let you just go wild with a solar install. Aside from regular permits and licensed contractors being involved, my utility requires the system be sized so it’s annual output matches annual consumption. They’ll do credits in summer to pay for winter, but won’t pay homeowners for outright excess anymore - won’t even let you connect to the grid.
Offgrid, have at it. Still probably pertinent building permits and fire codes to consider if you’re in a dense enough area to find used panels.
