Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I guess he didn't want to pay extra for the waterproof paint lol

Or hydrogen peroxide proof!

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Peroxide wouldn't damage the paint, only used to kill algae. It's even safe for fish in smaller doses. In my large aquarium, I have black beard algae blooms because of so much daylight, that I'll dump a bottle of peroxide in there too hero kill it then scrape it off and a couple days later clean out my filters.

He drained the swamp... right?

Where do you think they got the water to fill the reflecting pond?

As litigious as he is I’m assuming he’s suing this shoddy company for the benefit of the bargain, that is, THEY’LL be on the hook for covering the proper fixes done by a competent company?

How can they need on the hook when he likely never paid them to begin with. I mean we all know how Trump likes to treat his contractors

Honestly that would probably happen to me.

Any paint experts know the trick to paint not peeling off? I feel like there's a secret code that can't be found unless you're unionized

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Well, unless you're a large painting contractor with prior experience doing similar projects (something that's typically considered during the bid process), you should never be in a position to fuck something like this up.

But also, it seems like you care about the quality of your work, so you if you ended up out of your depth, you would have hired proper subcontractor(s) who are experts on this type of thing. You would also be actively communicating with the design engineers who approved the plans and specs to get clarification regarding materials, paints, etc. so if this did end up happening, you'd have a paper trail showing that you did everything in your power to prevent something like this.

Read the manual, use the right product, do things properly, don’t be a lazy half-ass.

Prep, treatment, type of paint, and THIN coats.
