I came here three years ago when they killed the API and Reddit is Fun on mobile. I refuse to use their mobile site but still used their desktop. If they kill old.reddit I guess I'm done then.

    My wife and I go antiquing, usually something to do on the weekend that gets us out of the house and exploring. Old History, scientific and reference books are the best. A lot of the stuff in them is outdated, but they're still a snapshot of the world from a different time.

    I've been eating Taco Bell weekly since I was a teenager, and I'm 45 now. I can't think of a single time I've gotten sick from it. If all you eat is crap without any balance to your diet, it's not the Taco Bell that's the problem.

    I remember the times McDonald's and Hardee's made me sick, but those times were 30ish years ago.

    Well, the Capitol of Minnesota could have been called Pigs Eye after a French Canadian fur trapper if it wasn't for a Catholic priest changing it to St Paul.

    Clean the surface to get any slime and loose dirt off. Use a primer that adheres to the type of material that the pool is made of, Killz or Zissner. Then apply the paint color in enough layers to the desired tone. Doing it right takes longer, but it'll last longer.

    The paint in the pool would have stripped regardless without cleaning and priming which I'm guessing they skipped. The hydrogen peroxide just sped things up.
