    I agree with everything you said except the paragraph about how to DIY it.

    OP, do not DIY this. If you do, you now have two problems to worry about -

    1. You have no idea how to fix it AND no idea what a successful repair even looks like

    2. It will come up in the inspection when you sell. DIY foundation repairs are always noticeable and will raise a ton of questions. I backed out of two houses because the report called them out. You can’t see what’s going on behind the “repair” to know if it’s actually repaired





  • I think if you post someone else’s comic without adding anything to it, you deserve no attribution either. Pete is getting attention for something he didn’t do.

    If it were Tumblr, he’d be the “I reblog this every time” comment at the bottom of the screenshot. If it were tiktok, he’d be the guy green screened in front of the comic pointing and saying nothing. And it were early internet, he’d be the guy downloading it from SomethingAwful and adding a watermark of his website.

    But really, I don’t have a problem with Pete. The thing that irrationally bugs me is including him in the screenshot when the only content is the comic itself. BUT…whenever I see these, I assume it’s the person adding nothing who took the screenshot. It’s marketing…“please follow me on social media, I want to be an influencer”
