The easier solution is just flair. Is it really hard to get your daily users to use flairs… and then sort post by them. I can’t imagine that subreddit is busy enough to need a split

If you are on mobile you'll probably never see it unfortunately.

It doesn't though, because the mods gave up on trying to redirect people

Yes, they need to be wire so that the cold air circulates through the entire fridge. Also look on appliance parts and rebuy the original shelves.

Biology isn't even a big one. Hell I've been here forever and I subbed to whatsthisbug long before I subbed to arr-Biology. But you make a good point about the algorithms.
I still maintain that people are idiots. That just seems to include the people that force users into places using the algorithms.

I have utmost faith in you pulling this off with nary a titter, giggle, nor snicker, /u/Maoman1 (however, what I would now like to know, is how are you and /u/maoman1 related?).

That's another thing that gets me. Who uses the "official" reddit app? Stop it! (*Slaps hand*)

Not a locksmith but a guy who has played with picking locks (it even came in handy a couple of times.
Was going to a party recently, of the rather shall we say lively and spicy kind. The person throwing it pointed out that there is an old safe in one of the rooms, and the owner of the place has given permission to try and get into it.
I made it a point to NOT find out where it was, because otherwise I would have spent the entire night there trying to be that guy.

Working so well you need to come to an unrelated sub to tell people who don't use your sub how to not use it because it works well for 6 months already
Edit: the guy was so unfazed by this non troll response they called me a troll and blocked me, definition of triggered

Have you tried breaking into more hones and getting caught? I bet you'd get the opportunity to use it then

They can, but the problem is getting subscribers. Like if I want to talk about biology I'd Google "reddit sub for biology" or whatever. What's going to pop up first?

[meta] user of Reddit here, please post announcements to your own sub instead
Long story short I don't post to locksmith subs and didn't need this information

That should have been taken into consideration, when built. But thats what i mean about high ground levels.
Over the years, people tend to add new layers of gravel/soil etc on top of the old stuff, and now the ground levels are higher than what they should be against the building.
The dpc is generally 150mm above external ground levels. External ground level, depending on floor makeup, being 150mm at least below your finished floor height.
Assuming its cavity walls due to council house,cavity going down 225mm from your dpc (depending on floor makeup), the cavity should stop anything crossing over , but again, sometimes (usually when initially built) the cavity gets filled slightly with mortar/rubbish from the brickwork above being built, and you dont have a cavity, you have a damp bridge letting water soak across.
Combine that with your garden running water towards the house, and its a potential problem. Ground might not be high though, and just the dpc work alone, possible also some drainage along the house at the bottom of the slope might fix it.
I dont know enough about the old damp courses to comment on it being worn out. I think plastic dpc started to get used in the 1970's, so its possible yours is slate or some other material.

As one user said above most big box home improvement stores have a cutter in the department with the shelving. You can buy just a few feet of it and the little caps and walk out with it the right size.

In what context - Reddit, or locks?

To be fair the Reddit Admins have tried very hard to make it worse by removing the sidebar in mobile, hiding the rules, limiting the character count of each rule and ensuring that sticky posts are not sticky unless sorting by Hot. Well over half the users never see the rules.

Do you not have any contact in the U.S. who’d be willing to receive them and then ship them on?
