roomside changes only
The pictured fan unit requires a 4" duct that has to exhaust somewhere. Going through the attic and roof might be simpler.
The only tricky part is getting a no-leak roof penetration. If a roof vent is needed find a roof-repair service.

complicated country to govern
Agreed, I don't think we Americans come close to understanding the situation. On the positive side Persians are not Arabs and kept much of their culture and language during the era of Islamic conquest. On the negative side some factions sip oil wealth and have ambitions of returning to a Persia-First dominance in the Middle East. When the Shah was deposed there was a coalition of Pro-Democracy, Pro-Communists & Pro-Islamist...the last took over. With them killed off, US might not be happy with a new order.
re: What's the Best Value Fish Sauce?

I usually buy Red Boat. It shows a 40 degree Nitrogen, a high level which is supposed to relate to quality. High levels are suitable for dipping, lower for cooking... so I was told.

So I'm slightly skeptical
Good reason to be doubtful. Modern nappers can produce outstanding blades using ancient source rocks and maybe cheating just a bit with lapidary tools. "Discovering" such forgeries in a dig makes a good story.
South Louisiana has an impressive number of wholesale nurseries and many make retail sales. When exploring them don't forget BTR's Cleggs. It's "Color Division" on Greenwell Springs Rd is where the production greenhouses are. Now is a great time to visit there. Chances are good that the guy helping you is one of the owners. Plant selection in the late fall is less, but that time of year a greenhouse with 40,000 poinsettia is an impressive sight.
re: LSU votes to bring back Standardized testing today…

Deja vu all over again!
Up to the late 1980's LSU had open rather than merit-based enrollment. Chancellor Wharton and Provost Carolyn Hargrave fixed that error with great opposition by setting admission standards and raising them over a few years. The classroom experience improved immediately. Under open enrollment 1st-year classes were designed to flunk out the weak students. Under selective admissions those courses were redesigned to educate the capable students. A return to the forgotten higher standards of Wharton/Hargrave will definitely improve LSU.

Proper Cloth
I've only bought shirts and pants from Proper Cloth, and that made me appreciative of their service. The company realizes that people want to inspect cloth and be fitted for expensive items. So they are adding fitting rooms in NY and DC. I was very impressed with my NY experience; my profile is online if needed again. They have also put a lot of effort into improving online success via live stream and shipped try on's. Obviously, that effort adds to the cost, but quality is great.
This year. Prune after this bloom to open up and use a acidic fertilizer. That might improve fungus issue. Next year spray with Garden Tech Sevin 3-in-1 Flower & Shrub Insect Killer.

I would like to think that a cabinet installer will go directly into the studs
Friends in a fancy new house had kitchen cabinets fall off the wall because installer missed the studs...does happen.
A reinforced section of a windowless inside wall makes some sense. You could always access the wall cavity through the wallboard on the back side. The day will come when you need to access wiring in the wall where you hang your electronics,

all over the toilet
Could be defacement or you occasionally have guys whose only experience is with a squat toilet, Turkish toilet, hole in the floor. I know of one case of the latter. The offender was given private toilet training.
Iceland is interesting at many levels. I had access to locals through business; it is otherwise hard to have personal interaction with the locals. Icelanders are cordial but most don't engage with tourists at a personal level. Many hospitality workers are internationals.
I've heard that LINK is a tour company that takes a more personal approach. They have self-guided activities.
The total population is only about 400,000. There is lots of elbow room.

Scallops are extremely perishable and are almost always distributed frozen and thawed for market display. Buying frozen yourself will probably get you better product. In BTR, Calandros and Maxwells often have large frozen bags "in the back freezer" and will sell you a few on request. There are lots of sea scallops imported, but they are usually good quality.
First, check to see who services your house and how. Just enter your address at this FCC site - LINK

shitty New Orleans soils
There is little you can do about it. But, cousin in Greta had a badly jumbled driveway lifted and leveled with foam 10+ years ago and is still happy with the fix. NOLA area definitely has experienced people.
Before 1980 people got around the sinking-soil by spreading shell gravel dredged from Lake P. The shells were much lighter than crushed stone. It didn't cause as much sinking, formed a strong surface, was easily renewed and looked good too.
Blooming in azaleas and other shrubs can be triggered by cold-hot swings rather than spring warming. So, this is normal. Making it a bit more complicated is that newer azalea strains are rebloomers that can be triggered any time of year.
re: What is your household’s Mardi Gras bead policy?
Posted by Tree_Fall on 2/22/26 at 10:32 am to white beans
1st 3 years of going to MG parades with a young kid filled 2 large buckets of good beads. After that only "great throws" like spears were saved. Now when that kid's daughter visits out c,ome the bead buckets. She gets to take 10 home each time. At that rate we have enough for a great many visits.
re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?
Posted by Tree_Fall on 2/21/26 at 4:41 pm to doublecutter
Have had 2 over the years. Then and now Mazda produces well designed and built vehicles. Honda and Toyota will have a better resell value just based on popularity.
re: Fire Stick
Posted by Tree_Fall on 2/21/26 at 10:02 am to namvet6566
Switched from Firestick to Roku 5 years ago due to buggy interaction with older Sony Bravia. If you like Amazon Prime, Firestick integrates with it. The Roku world is simpler. I doubt if many compatibility issues exist now.
Travelling, I find AB&B's more likely to have Roku, and I can sign in with my account. I usually remember to delete the account before I leave.
If you have a newer smart TV it will have basic streaming capability built in. You do not need a stick. Best reason for using a stick that I've heard is that Roku and Firestick frequently upgrade their inexpensive devices while your TV's capabilities will remain static.

Two things 1st:
1. You do not need anything more than a word processor to get your content in digital form. Start with an outline then fill it in. That might take a lot of time before any Learning Management System app is needed.
2. Identify your prospective students and existing curricula providers. What apps do they use?
The complicated thing about LMS is that there are several. Different topics and student groups will have a favorite. Then ask for specific help. It will be a lot easier to get help once you have some content in a file.

Don't believe everything AI tells you...Great West bottle jack 1940-1960. Sold through auto, farm, etc shops. Might accept Simplex parts with kits on Ebay...LINK

I recently found that a young-adult associate has been deeply terrified of dogs since childhood. So it is important to reduce the toddler's fear. Reasoning might become effective when she is 3.
Until then positive experience may be best. Atlanta area has several therapy dog training programs. Contact a few of them and ask their help in making a list of well-trained dogs close to you. Then every few weeks have short no-pressure visits with dogs of different breeds and sizes. Before the visits show her pictures and tell her the dog's name.
Good luck.
