I’ve sprayed my roof because my ac can’t keep up. I didn’t notice a difference, but it felt like I was at least doing something. DO NOT spray your ac condenser outside. Best case, you slowly build up hard water deposits on the fins and reduce efficiency further. Worst case, you rust out components not intended for direct/continued water.

That’s probably the same demographic that praises craft beer from brewery businesses, so I think the question should be taken back a step from DIYer to consumer. Here’s my interpretation from the US, matching the demo in question.

I’d guess from an economic status, lower income doesn’t have the money to spend on craft beer and higher income would transition towards wines. Even though wine and beer can both be made in less than 2 months, beer typically doesn’t benefit from aging but wine typically does - meaning better wines incur higher overhead costs for storage for better wines.

From an ethnic standpoint, I don’t think I can pin it on anything other than being the majority demographic of the English-speaking world (with your survey/groups possibly being US/Canada focused). Beer is certainly a global phenomenon, but keep in mind your sources will be based by language. However, Germany is the only country I can think of outside of North America where I’d expect diverse craft beer. Maybe their surrounding countries and England too. Everyone makes alcohol, but they may put more resources into wines and spirits instead. Ethnicity likely also ties into financial status on a global scale so once you account for language bias, you’ll lose countries that don’t have the national spending available for such craft beers.

As for gender, I would put that down as a mix of beer being seen as manly - large quantity of liquid, not sweet, makes burps. Sweet and brightly-colored drinks make many men worried other men might think they’re gay (gods forbid you enjoy a tasty drink). So that gives straight men drinking beer and everyone else mixing it up.

Where does that leave us? Straight white middle class men drink craft beer, which spills over into the homebrew English-speaking community demographic.

Oh I see, you are 12 and these are the extent of your creative writing prompts.

Is flamboyancy the punchline?

Interesting. I don’t really wear any jewelry myself so I wasn’t aware of the nuance. My ring is tungsten and I rarely wear it. I do remember getting green stains from costume jewelry with copper plating beneath weak top layers

I wouldn’t concern myself about a lab diamond being too perfect. I have never met anyone that pulled out a loupe in the restaurant to check. That’s between me and the jeweler.

Wow, tough crowd. At no point did you say you were looking at typical diamonds but you’re still getting jumped. My interpretation is that you’re not interested in mined diamonds and are already aware of the massive ethical issues.

I can’t tell you if she actually wants an expensive ring with a big rock, despite what that other comment assures you. That’s something you have to determine. My SO wanted something pretty and durable, not expensive. She meant it. She also picked a stone in her favorite color. I think it’s flanked by small diamonds for that sparkle but it was only $350 at a department store. I guess at this point I should mention why she did all the shopping and why I don’t really know: I proposed with a paper ring and quoted Taylor Swift in doing so. Rather than take a guess and potentially be way off from what she’s been looking at on her own, she was able to choose it herself. Some people may be upset that you didn’t do all the traditional work, but that’s between you and your SO and for you to determine acceptability. A woman with established desires (beyond price) in a ring has likely already done a ton of shopping.

If she tends to be rough with her hands, diamonds are still the most durable stone available. It will take most stones a long time to be visibly scratched, but it happens - especially around sand. That also means if she loses jewelry, the ring may not be around long enough to matter.

I wouldn’t recommend silver since it’s softer and tarnished a little faster than the other options.

As far as cut, you’re really getting into an opinionated area. Some people like the traditional cartoon cut, some like an older oval, some a rectangle, etc. It depends on her style and how loud she wants her jewelry to be.

It’s a very variable topic. The only thing I can say, and this applies to many things, is that when you get down to the final 5ish options, no one else will know what you chose between. You’ll forget too. They’ll probably all be nearly identical if you were to describe them on paper without a picture. There’s no such thing as perfect but you always come to simply accept something for being what it is. I went through this with dozens of paint chips when remodeling a house. Once the walls are painted, your guests will never know nor care how long you spent choosing between G305-03 and G306-03.

Jello as dessert? When I was 15 for a school project. Jello as a shot? Probably annually

I suppose with global education on the rise, prior examples won’t always be accurate. I wasn’t considering China’s example to be part of an increased education amount because it didn’t necessarily teach the average citizen why they should limit kids, but a governing decision that results in the same outcome could still count.

I don’t think limited resources ever results in reduced births. 100 years ago, US parents were making lots of kids and not naming them for the first year because infant mortality was so high. Education is what slows the birthrate.

“majority”

You sound like you feel guilty after you masturbate and your favorite expedition was the Mayflower

Fake IDs, fake foreign IDs, mismatched IDs?

That “booming” economy is a straight line on any chart from 2010 to 2019. GDP, unemployment, debt, income, whatever you want to check. Funny you think democrats are why things tank. Do you associate the 2008 financial crisis with Obama? Because that nosedive, which landed lower in 2009 than we hit in 2020, has a clear nosedive starting in 2004. Please don’t tell me you think the astonishingly-low gas prices in 2020 were Trump’s doing, either. People literally stopped driving altogether and oil companies couldn’t offload ships since demand was so low. I’m not really sure who you’re concerned about regarding WW3 that you think would be a powerful player that isn’t in NATO and isn’t already against the US. But really, it’s impressive to think Trump’s tenure was such a safe haven of global peace when Russia, one of 2 likely opponents, was thrilled with Trump because he was friendly to them. That’s not peacekeeping or carrying a big stick, that’s Putin making the marionette dance.

I implore you to check out a few additional “news” sources and actual analyst sources. If your news sources get emotional, that’s not news. If your analyst sources cite high school polls, that’s not analysis. If your source of stats is unverified text-over-pictures or commentary social media videos, God help us all.

Not sure if art good or just lights up

Fox says a thing as an opinion. Trump says the same thing as a statement because Fox viewers don’t know fact from opinion (or from “satire”, legally). Fox says Trump said the thing as a fact, so it must be fact. This is a feedback loop. This is by design.

This is the kind of thing that “makes sense and agrees with my beliefs” to his audience - people who don’t fly. His party hammers down on flyover state residents to make them think people in planes are snobs. This keeps them from flying. This keeps them from traveling. This promotes the local echo chambers throwing snowballs at the other side’s forts. This is by design.

Was that the Urahraptor? Discovered in 1993, estimated 5-6ft tall and 16-20ft long according to wiki

Would plugging a drive with an OS on it into a running computer just show a list of files like normal?

Wild. I was just complaining that I used to follow Lockheed Martin on social because planes are cool, but it’s recently become filled with missile and other direct weaponry posts. I’m well aware of what the purpose of a fighter plane is. They used to at least have fun posts about the scientific work performed by the U2 and SR71.
