just remember, she's a woman. She expects you to just know what she needs and to fulfill those unspoken requests unquestioningly.

This article and another I found claim that the use of this ended in 1984 in W Germany (1991 in E Germany) though I swear I saw some in rail yards in W Germany in 1986 and 1987 when I was living there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-Baureihe_E_44 After the DB (W German railway Deutsche Bahn)...

It's not that straight forward though for US model railroads you are correct, N is 1:160 In the UK N is 1:148 In Japan N is 1:150 except for bullet trains and then it is 1:160 Continental Europe is the same as the US at 1:160

It's funny. Whenever I hear "E44", this is what I think of. I have to remember my audience https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q253563

Strange that nothing has been posted since 2pm MDT (4pm EDT). Anyway, gas still about $3.99 here. A few places it dropped down a few cents but seems to maybae have gone back up. Walmart was about $3.79 last I saw. Diesel is now up to 30 cents or more less per gallon than regular, when in...

Thanks. It looks strange with all the long thin pieces from the burst. It looked like a real life anime possessed train (say from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba")

What is it?

This is where you complain through your payment method.

Looks really nice. When we do the add on room (I call it a covered porch but its a framed room attached to the back of the house), which will have a concrete subfloor. we'll use that decoupler with the tile. It seems the gypsum based subfloor is less of a problem from what I read as most...

Yeah I went aand did research and I learned that it is common to directly apply tile to well waterproofed gypsum based substrate (gypcrete style lightweight concrete). (and not at all on walls). We should be ok. Thanks. The Semco waterproof membrane stuff is a poly-urea based one that is an...

You're right. Probably an oversight. I'll ask the guy who helped me (who did it) about it though I know he and his partner haven't done it on another job I saw them do (several years ago) which has held up well. We're over a waterproofed layer of gypcrete. Hopefully we don't get adverse...

So I drove by our Walmart that is local to us today. It was $3.79, where it had been in the $3.6x on Monday. Luckily I found a Walmart about 12 miles away as we returned from my daughter's music lesson and it was $3.59 Monday. I stopped then as I knew it wouldn't be going down. I filled up...

Gasoline prices are crazy. $3.99 now at most places though Walmart was $3.59 at one Walmart and upper $3.6x at another on Monday. January was $2.26 Walmart and $2.42 everywhere else. And back then diesel was $1 or more higher tham gasoline. Around here diesel is below regular gas the last...

Saturday it was mid 70s. Yesterday mid 60s. Today upper 30s and raining. Kind of sucks. Rest of the week is supposed to be relatively nice. On the house the solar panels started operation a week and a half ago. First couple days were overcast and only had limited production but since then...

Yeah I've never considered AC/DC a metal band. It's definitely "hard rock".
