Man Mandrake brings back some memories. It was my first linux install solely because they had the fastest shipping time for install cd's and at the time I was on dialup so I couldn't just download anything I wanted. I ran it for several years and ended up on a few different distro's and freebsd for a bit.

Not if you're on kbin. The new server isn't federated with kbin.social for some reason.

You use a lower pressure and higher GPM than pressure washing. There are different ways to do it some people use a 12 volt pump with a flow between 5 and 10 GPM along with either a downstream injector or a mixing valve and separate tanks to inject SH (Sodium Hydroxide) and a surfactant (soap) into the wash stream. Other people use gas engine driven pumps the same as a pressure washer but the nozzle at the end of the line takes down the pressure of the water emitted from the pump so you don't damage the house. This is the most non-destructive and really the only safe way to "pressure" wash a house or roof. You can also use it on sidewalks and driveways. The SH kills organic matter and the soap breaks up dirt and grime. It is applied to the house and sits for several minutes then washed off with a stream of water.

To be honest I am considering doing soft washing. I am retired and have the time to put into it.

I think it's the Youtubers who claim how easy it is and make claims of making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year doing it. Somehow those videos made it into my algorithm on YT. Everyday for several months I get at least one usually 3 or 4 pressure washing / house washing videos recommended. I'm sure many other people are also. Seems like there are 2 bigger companies spamming Youtube with how to get in the soft washing business and that birthed a number of people who vlog on yt about how great the business is.

Edit: It also has a low cost of entry to start a pressure washing or soft washing company. From what I've seen you can start one for under $500 in equipment and have seen videos of guys using their cars to haul around the equipment and chemicals. So anyone who wants to can get into the business. On a side note I doubt many of them are licensed or have liability insurance. The risk of property damage is super high when running a pressure washing or soft washing business.

I thought I replied already to this so this might be a double.. I think they are just a bootlicker who needs to go outside more often. Based on the reply I got from them I don't think they give a shit about their users just their power.

Just got back a message from the mods who told me to grow up and called me a 'hero'. They also muted me for 28 days so I can't message them any more. My reply to their ban was this "Banned for deleting my own comment in a 10 year old thread? Funny."

Love the way you worked this against HR. I had a situation kind of like yours once where we got a per diem daily for a hotel and one meal. The company let us keep the leftover money from the per diem until they hired a new manager that insisted we turn in the extra (it wasn't much maybe $5-25). Fine, we all started getting more expensive hotel rooms and spending the rest on food using every cent they gave us. . After about 2 years the guy who made us turn in the leftover money left and we went back to being able to keep the extra money.

June 30th is my date. I have a 13 year old account and a 8 year old account. I'm considering options what to do with the accounts. I'm split between selling them or nuking all the comments and deleting them.
