People on government disability. Or on government pensions.
You know. The same people who endlessly complain about the government and people on welfare.

Oh absolutely and if you don't do it right it looks way worse.

You're gonna be painting this. So it's gonna be a single shade of color. You'll be losing any "wood" look.

Reply to Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123
ASML is not a high tech company on the cutting edge.
They are on the bleeding edge of semiconductor development. When people talk about institutions developing the future, you hear places like MIT, NASA but ASML deserves to be on a similar level.

Looks awesome.
The lack of color is the only issue I have, the bright green from the plants, notwithstanding. I think I would have gone with a more modern wood vanity, but it all look great.

Reply to To deal with noncompliant landlords, state rep proposes putting properties in state’s custody until repairs are made by BobbyRobertson
Is the state going to step in and take better measures at removing squatters and protecting landlords from negligent tenants too?

Fire your travel agent.
I love CT and all, but as a vacation destination, absolutely not. First and foremost, I hope your girlfriend is also 21, because we have ridiculously strict drinking laws when it comes to age. She'll be left out of a ton of things if she isn't 21 as well. Second of all, CT is mostly inaccessible without a car. Our public transit is rather shite.
I just would highly suggest you go to NYC or Calirfornia or almost anywhere else, quite honestly. We're just not a "touristy" state.

Neoluddite maybe because today it's all about the evil AI, a few months ago it was robots, a while before that it was some other cataclysmic technology that was going to kill us all in mere days.... And of course it didn't.
This shit is just embarrassing at this point.

Reply to How do I find these g-d studs?? by WaterChestnutII
You are probably missing the stud by a fraction of an inch. Instead of jumping another 16" from where you first went through, you should have gone 1/2"
Learn to use the stud finder properly. Videos on YT.

The hole is already partially threaded. Tapping it further would be super easy and almost fool-proof

Best pizza in the state comes from Greek owned restaurants. It is very much a north eastern thing, as well as in Chicago, parts of Florida and a few other pockets of the country were Greek immigrants settled in the late 60s and into the 80s. A lot of them opened restaurants back then because they didn't have any marketable skills and few spoke English well. Some of those places have been taken over by their children and kept within the family, while other places have been sold to Albanians, Russians and even Turks while still carrying certain Greek themes.

Don't fuck with the screw. I suggested he tap the hole a little deeper, but you do it with a tap, not by trying to push that screw in there. He can get a tap set for like $10.

Zoom in on that bad hole. Then zoom in on one of the good ones.
Do the good ones look like they are threaded in deeper than the bad hole?
Are you sure there is nothing in the bad hole? Could be packing material.
Does the screw look normal (fully threaded and not mangled up)?
Is this screw longer than the other screws?
I would either cut the length of the screw or tap the hole a little further in. Its gonna be a standard metric size. You can measure it with a pair of calipers. You can cut the screw down a little too as long as you get between 6 and 8 full rotations. A set of taps could be purchased for like $10 to 20 at Harbor Freight.

Are you telling me that sales don't ONLY go up, up, up?!?!
Whaaaaaat?
I love how sales of PCs and tablets and similar devices were hitting record numbers over the last couple of years and business executives acted like that could possibly continue forever. Now that the market is coming back down to more normal levels, immediately everyone is overhyping the decline.

That doesn't make sense. We aren't that big of a state, but we don't have industries and specific companies everywhere. For instance if someone is in finance, then south west is the place. Insurance is Hartford area.

We get posts like this all the time, but I just don't understand how so few of them mention where they will be working. If you work in Stamford that is totally different than if you work in Hartford which is totally different than if you work in New haven.
