“after a review of the evidence that was gathered, it was determined that the person of interest needed to be released.”

Just sayin’, maybe you review the evidence BEFORE you name someone a person of interest and arrest them?

Oh yeah, FUNCTIONALLY, the house is fine.*

*“fine” defined as “built in 1951 so there is not a single ground wire in the entire house so we have 4 GFI outlets for the important stuff.” 😉

Yeah, I hit the same thing with a chocolate cheesecake recipe of mine. It calls for a 12 ounce bag of miniature chocolate chips.

The “good” brand chips are all 10 ounce and 20 ounce bags now. Fortunately I found a store brand that was 12 ounces.

I do have a kitchen scale so it would have been possible to buy the 20 ounce bag and measure out 12 ounces…but still!

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll need to measure the space once the shelves go up to get a better idea. Thanks!

That’s the minimalist basic plan, yeah. Hoping to do something complimentary above the bookshelves though.

Yeah, the pattern makes it intentionally hard to tell. It’s a vacuum formed plastic square with 4 circles.

What they did was staple a horizontal slat, then some extra vertical slats, and painted the bottom half of the wall blue.

It’s all plaster except for the crappy wood slats they stapled on. LOL.

I found some old photos from before they did this, it was a perfectly fine wall. Maybe a little plain, but fine!

I dunno if they’re transparent enough for that, would be worth looking into.

There’s an 10" gap between the bookshelves and the ceiling I’m trying to do something with. 😉

I need to figure out what to do with the top of the wall that sticks up above the bookshelves, lots of options, but my wife has veto power. 😉

Left to my own devices? TARDIS wall. LOL.

Others:

No joke! Glad I have some time off!

Do do do do do do do do dodo!

Not a bad idea, a bit beyond me doing it, but that’s what contractors are for! 😉

In fairness, they are a set that I linked my wife to as a “yeah, something like this…”

Bookshelves are one of those things that can be like $80 each up to “How much would you like to spend?” These are reasonable.

Rumor an innuendo at this point. “Sources” are saying his kid stabbed him to death along with his wife.

Farro is my go-to cheap meal. Bags of 10 minute farro at Trader Joe’s for less than $2.

2009 they were waving sheets of paper at Obama they called “The Republican Health Care Plan”.

On examination, the sheets were blank.

Nothing has changed.

I think part of the problem is people aren’t taught how to cook anymore, either by family or by schools. They’ll SAY “Oh, I don’t have time.” and that may be partly true, but you get down to it they don’t have the knowledge or practice that takes the time out of it.

If you don’t know what to do in the kitchen, yeah, fast food, ready to eat, prepared pre-packaged food is it.

Crystalline / Holographic storage has been hyped since the 80s… still not production ready.
