Most empathetic answer I can give you: people are desperate

Most likely answer: people are idiots

oh yes, I am certain he won't shed a penny for the absolute best care which may or may not bump people who need it more...

The American tax payers are happy to pick up the tab for Mitch but not for each other (if Mitch have anything to say about it)

Maybe rural and urban areas should not be bunched together under the same umbrella since they clearly have different wants and needs?

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Concrete project, feasible or not? (lemmy.world)

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe
