As the other commenter said, water travels far and the route is rarely linear. If you can somehow be certain it’s rain water entering the basement, then at least you know the source. But if it’s a leaky pipe then it may have eroded a path underground which is now impacting your foundation.

I’m no expert. But it seems to me that adding any sort of soil or rock would only be a band-aid fix without patching the crack where water is entering. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but it seems logical.

I went to high school with a psychopath. He was a friend of an idiot friend. He beat up a quiet kid on the bus once and later tried to steal my car. He disappeared for awhile, and I later learned he’d been locked up. I searched him on the internet a few months ago because I had a feeling he’d be in prison.

Yep. He raped a girl, beat up her boyfriend, and was being hunted down for burglary when the cops cornered him (I think on the rooftop of a 2-story house). Then he said some stupid line and backflipped off the roof.

After awhile in prison he managed to get hold of the tool the prison guards use to slide the food trays while the new guard was in the cell with him. He beat the guard to death with it, then acted casual about it. There’s a video of the aftermath.

So he’s on death row now, trying to play the Jesus card.

There’s a shitty Amazon doc about him, name is Billy Tracy.

EDIT: When you mentioned knowing a truly evil person, that’s what Billy is. I could see it in his eyes from the moment I met him, just a void. When I searched him up his parents weren’t mentioned much, but what was there seemed to indicate they were as baffled as anyone about how he turned out. Maybe, who knows.

Did they even have signage up?

Sharks preceding trees is 🤯

Something tells me you’re one of those who parks it in the passing lane going at or below the speed limit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if imposing martial law led to a series of events that culminated in a civil war.

Unless someone with opportunity eliminated Trump from office by one means or another immediately after he sent the order. This would probably be the best path to avoid having the country rip itself apart.

In practice your experience may vary. I went to pay at a Boots with a £20 Scottish note in England once, and the cashier was initially hesitant to accept it. Ultimately she did. That was the only time I tried it.

At first I thought we were finally going to learn the fate of that Russian.

My gf and I thought we saw a disappearance in the mid-90s as well. This was next to an area with rented horse stables and the like.

We saw a girl walk into a fairly small grove of trees, didn’t think much of it, but it was noteworthy because we’d never seen anyone wander in there. It was on the edge of the property and there wasn’t much else around the trees.

After a bit we went to check on her, nothing. Nobody we could find among or on the other side of the trees. She probably had kept going out the other side or emerged when we weren’t paying attention, but at the time we were convinced she had vanished.

My very first conspiracy theory: Space fuckery. I’ll lay out the dots and you can connect them.

On the morning of March 19 or 20, I observed what I was certain at the time was my first meteor sighting. This was in the greater Dallas area.

Skip to Sunday I found a story about meteor sightings reported in Houston and other areas. The sightings were from the previous day, March 21.

Since last weekend there have been further meteor reports across the US.

On Thursday March 26 there was a visible missile launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force station.

This is all in good fun for me. But with this administration and the blunders in Iran, it won’t surprise me to learn later that they had something to do with it.

I put my leg through the ceiling of a General’s office. He wasn’t the commander of the base mind you, he was the commander over several bases.

Someone had asked my team to repair one of his lights, and his office was in a WWII era building that had had a facelift. So most everything you could see was newer looking, but that did not apply to the base structure of the building, which included the area above the ceiling. Took a bad step and CRASH, huge mess.

Lucky on two points: He wasn’t in his office, and I was able to grab support so as to not fall all the way through.

His secretary heard the commotion and yelled, “oh gosh, are you ok?” Bless her, she was concerned for me. Friends/coworkers laughing their asses off in the ceiling with me.

“Not sure. I think I probably need CPR!” Couldn’t resist saying this. Friends still howling.

“Oh jeez, I’ll call the Fire Department”.

“No, not necessary. I’m fine now, thank you.”

I never did see the General, and they didn’t want me in his office to clean the mess.

So this was my biggest mess in a figurative sense due the circumstances. Which would have been orders of magnitude worse had the General been at his desk.

For good or ill I still use it for mail, hell with 'em! I just don’t want to go through the hassle of brainstorming all those who have it and then changing it where necessary.

Hotmail from 1998.

Did you get some wires crossed here? After looking it up HMC is electronic music by a guy named Kim Cascone. The group you seem to reference is simply Fripp & Eno.

I’m going to check out both anyway, so thanks!
