They've really done a beautiful job. I was worried this would be gimmicky, but it looks first class

Home Improvement Projects
I couldn't find the appropriate thread - so if one exists, mods feel free to move me... Nonetheless, I'm looking for some guidance. I'm not by any means a DIY wiz, but I've put together a little garage gym during this quarantine, I have a lot of equipment, but racks are either back ordered until June or like $400. I want to make a DIY barbell rack for two purposes: 1. to use when doing lifts with barbells. I.e. squats or shoulder press, and 2. as a place to store the barbell within the garage. The weights I have only go as high as 185 lbs on the bar and, as such, I wanted to pick someone's brain about this... My garage was constructed by the Amish and I have exposed beams everywhere, no dry wall, very plain - but sturdy. In my quest for a barbell rack I am considering the following... Screwing in a 2x4 across 4 of the vertical beams, each beam being about a foot or so apart, placing 2 6" screws through the 2x4 into each vertical beam. On the 2x4, about 4' apart, I am going to screw in two 1" black iron floor flanges. I will then screw two 6" black steel nipples, sticking outward from the flange into each, and cap each with a pipe cap. Does this seem like a logical solution to my problem? Or will this not be able to withhold a barbell with weights on it, as I'd imagined? Again, I'm really a novice at this stuff, so any input/advice would be appreciated.

Marathon Oil is near its 52 week low, near $3.50 ... It's been as high as $18 this year and over $6 only a month ago. Might be a decent fluctuation buy

It would also lead to A LOT of litigation, in my opinion, over the issue of when the contractual deadline is tolled.

Cleveland: Downtown: Sherwin-Williams Headquarters
No, you're absolutely right. But think of it as a short term capital injection versus sustainable financing. With the jobs (and thereby residents) Sherwin's new tower will add, it makes the surrounding businesses more sustainable. I'm by no means a finance expert, though.

As an attorney here - if the incentives were used as a part of the package, a bad faith claim against the city is not a good look... Moreover, SHW could afford to take a 20% loss on that land and not bat an eyelash

To your point @KJP a couple years ago, over some drinks with my dad... I asked why Grandpa had decided to leave the city when everything was so convenient (He grew up on w. 61 between Herman and Detroit and my Grandma grew up across the street from him). And he said... "Well, during the Great Depression, Grandpa took a rail car at the age of 11 as far as it would go, then would hitchhike the rest of his way to caddy at Lakewood Country Club. He did it five days a week. After he came back from WWII, he got a job as a fireman, going into industrial fires non-stop for $1,200 a year. I don't think 'walkable neighborhoods' was much of a consideration for Grandpa when he moved us to Parma."

Airline Industry News and Discussion
Agreed - we had two years in a row of record travel by plane and, after four down weeks airlines are already seeking a bailout. That indicates to me that they've been fiscally irresponsible more than anything else. I obviously don't want 750,000 out of work, but if one or two go belly up, the JetBlue, Frontier, Alaska, etc can step in and change the game
