Phenomephrene

I used to work for a building materials distributor; we moved a lot of composite decking. From what I remember the manufacturer didn’t recommend leaving a cleaner on the decking, that if a cleaner was used it should be rinsed off before it has the chance to dry. I can’t speak to Pine-Sol specifically, but we would use Simple Green on any boards that needed cleaning and would wipe it down with a couple rags (one to remove the excess cleaner, and a wet rag to follow up).

Edit: Here’s a url for the manufacturer’s product care page that we dealt with. If you know the brand of decking you have installed there ought to be a similar page on their website if there are any differences.

Mayhem - Whore

Magnolia is such an honest depiction of human fallibility. Almost unrivaled in its verisimilitude to modern life (or modern as of it’s release date). Incredible movie. Good shout.

I was genuinely not expecting this. As little reason as this Supreme Court has given to inspire confidence, I thought this was a bridge too. I feel sick to my stomach.

I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I’ll always have both stocked in my pantry.

The Seventh Seal [Ingmar Bergman, 1957]

As the plague ravages Scandinavia, a Swedish crusader returning home is greeted at the shore of his homeland by Death. To buy enough time to make it back to see his wife he challenges Death to a game of chess.

A film about different human reactions to the inevitability of death. One of Bergman’s masterworks.

Whatever happened to Whiplash? You know, that spider monkey that would dress up as a cowboy and ride around on a border collie at rodeos and in a few Taco John’s commercials. Put him in there. The border collie can be his running mate… (get it? get it?)

Pretty ambitious to try and make it through >95% of the bible in a semester.

Got a session of Pathfinder in with my group who seems plagued by the scheduling monster. Always glad to get a session in when we can.

Is anyone who enjoys something that you don’t measuring their dick, or does it have something to do with the inherent double entendre related to noodles?

I mean, when I eat spicy things I’m not even thinking about my genitals; I’m enjoying my food.

Eh, the post you’re replying to isn’t anywhere close to as cynical as it could have been.

Frankly, the most generous interpretation of why this policy was put forward is an implicit acknowledgement that the way the US healthcare industry currently operates is adversely impacting the personal economies of a huge segment of the population in a way that isn’t really justified. With just a slight bit of cynicism, in that they they mention how it could affect mortgage acceptance rates, there’s also an acknowledgement of the knock-on effects this is having on other segments of the broader economy, which is probably what they care more about. And with just touch more cynicism we could say this is a move to garner more votes in the upcoming election. Or all of those things can be true simultaneously.

The state of the US health insurance industry and the relationship private equity has to healthcare in general really needs a complete overhaul. To say that this is a bandaid solution (if even that) isn’t the same as saying that it won’t do any good, and therefore shouldn’t be implemented.
