I have mine in a photo album along with other gig and event tickets.

I don’t think you have sole responsibility for the fuckup here. I’m assuming you lied about your age but on the other hand it’s your parents’ responsibility to educate you on online safety, the risks of sending inappropriate photos, using platforms meant for adults as a minor etc and it seems like whatever they did on that score was inadequate.

If you can even get it to stick in the first place anything you put on a textured wall and then pry off is likely to take the texture off with it. You will also probably have problems if your landlord inspects the property during your tenancy and you have made such a dramatic change without prior permission.

A better plan is to talk to each prospective landlord and ask whether they mind you redecorating by filling in the texture - they may be absolutely fine with you plastering over it if you get a professional paint job done, as it’s essentially you paying for free maintenance and upkeep of their investment property, and it shows you’re committed to being a stable long term tenant. They may be willing to allow it even if they’re not happy with it for the price of a clause in the contract promising you’ll put the texture back in when you leave or an extra security deposit to cover the cost of remediation afterwards.

Either way it’s a lot of money to put into someone else’s property so the better solution might just be to hang fancy bedspreads over the walls and take them with you when you go, or keep looking until you find a place that’s more to your taste.

Usually it doesn’t; the same number of staff are still present in store but they are switched to other tasks such as restocking the shelves, cleaning or unloading deliveries - or helping customers on the shop floor.

It is possible to get rid of some checkout staff in the switch to self checkout but the usual trend is that rather than cutting service the stores just provide more service in other areas, especially at quieter times.

The loss will be fairly negligible compared to the cost of preventing it as plastic pipes don't conduct heat well and neither does still air; but if you want to invest in removing even that tiny little bit you could box in the pipes on the outside with insulated ducting. The expense probably wouldn't be worth it though.

Aren't waste pipes mostly empty apart from the water in the S bend? There'll be no direct air movement from outside to in because of the S bend, and the water movement will always be in the one direction (taking warm out, but not bringing cold in), so it doesn't seem to me like there's an issue here.

putting runners down will be essential or you'll lose the lower part of your wood supply to rot and it'll be too dusty to burn indoors - bonus points if you use weather-treated wood for that as it'll last longer, but that's less important. you may well find it's quicker and cheaper to just chuck a few spare pallets down instead of putting a proper floor in, and that will work just fine for what you need.

Screw a piece of wood across the width of the drawer at the depth you want it to go to.

Then glue and screw/nail the bottom of the drawer to the new back of the drawer, and cut off the original back of the drawer leaving the original sides intact.

Then you can cut out the bottom of the drawer so it goes around the sides of the arm, which will help keep the drawer in shape.

If you offend her, then she will understand how you feel. You don’t need to worry about causing offence to people who are unkind to you even if they are family.

In cities electrics are getting a lot more popular (at least here in the UK) and hybrids and fuel-saving cars (the kind that switch off when idling) have been on the market for over a decade and are a good proportion of the domestic traffic in cities. We also have much better public transport (and fewer hang-ups about using it and investing in it) and cycling infrastructure than is typical in the US.

I’m guessing you’re in the US? Driving everywhere like that and not driving electric/hybrid cars isn’t that normal everywhere else.

Thing is that running the alternator uses extra fuel. Even just using the air conditioning in the car (which is essentially doing the same as a fridge does) can add 10% to your fuel bill. Running bigger appliances can use even more fuel, and they’re typically not as efficient as the kinds of appliance you have in your home because they’re designed to be compact and convenient more than efficient.

Added to that, most countries have at least some percentage of their home fuel supply generated through much greener methods like wind or hydro power.

A better solution would be to just turn the engine off when your car is standing still - and most newer cars do this automatically anyway meaning there’s much less wasted fuel.

Not the worst idea. I saw a Manchester bus take out two side windows of another bus and shower a lot of passengers with broken glass because they pulled out too close to the other bus and the wing mirror scraped along the side of the other bus.
