What is the best wood for an outdoor bench?

When it comes to selecting the best wood for an outdoor bench, several factors need to be considered. Outdoor benches are exposed to the elements and can be subject to moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes.

Oak is a durable and hard-wearing timber that is well-suited for making timeless outdoor furniture.

Oak has a lively grain pattern, which can cause some fine hairline cracks on the surface of the wood due to expansion and contraction in varying weather conditions.

No, but you don't understand, Technus is so fucking funny, and without even trying. Like, imagine telling somebody about his whole deal, it'd be a trainwreck lmao.

"So there's this ghost who can control all kinds of technology."

"Okay."

"He looks like an off brand cosplay of Nikola Tesla and can and will villain monologue you to death."

"Yeah, okay, continue."

"One of his plans of world domination was fully dependant on making his favourite enemies-to-lovers ship canon."

"I'm sorry, what."

The most outrageous thing, tho! The thing that drives me up the wall!! Is that his convoluted plans work like clockwork!!! If Sam wasn't an MVP that she is, then Technus' plan to take over the internet by playing a fucking videogame would have been successful. Combining Technus' technology and Skulker's mastery with weapons was a real pro gamer move, and they did almost beat Danny's ass in under 5 minutes. His plan to distract both Danny and Valerie by matchmaking them was stupid as fuck and yet it fucking worked!! How the fuck did it work.

His downfalls are literally 1) his arrogance, and 2) simple dumb bad luck. The reason why he and Skulker failed was because they both were pretentious fucks and were too prideful to cooperate with each other properly despite literally sharing a body. And if Danny and Valerie were a little less afraid of the other getting hurt, he'd have succeeded there, like, for real-real.

His failings more often than not are really just unlucky coincidencies. What a loser lmao.

#he kinda reminds me of nosy grannies that sit on a bench near you home and loudly judge all your life choices #literally hears a rumor and asks 'is somebody gonna get involved in this' and doesn't wait for an answer #ALSO THE IMPLICATIONS OF HIM BEING AN EXPERT IN ROMANCE LIKE??? WHY #do. do ghosts go to him for relationship advice. does he offer couples therapy #imagine going for romantic advice and hearing 'i know a guy who can help you in your troubles ;)'#and the guy in question is nikolai fucking technus #(he'd still offer a better advice than skulker or god forbid spectra so there's that i suppose)#technus #danny phantom

I took Preston to Diamond City and as soon as I was finished buying a noodle bowl from the ramen-bot, he started trying to order alcohol from it for some reason. He had quite a lot to say about his desired order. It didn't give him a drink (I don't think it can give drinks, as far as I can tell it only serves noodles), but when he finished talking about alcohol he immediately started telling me more details about his tragic past with barely a breath in between. A few seconds later he sat down like this:

Preston Garvey Drunken Moments I guess lmao

#fallout 4 #fallout #preston garvey #later on i sat down on the bench near the noodle stand to 'wait' which i interpret as napping while sitting up #he sat down next to me all friendly. when i 'woke up' from the waiting he was at the counter eating a noodle bowl #i wanted to get a screenshot but he was done before i could get a good angle. i was very charmed tho

Little "bouquet" of random flowers I found growing wild in a yard

#flowers #photo diary #I think people are way too mean about ''''weeds'''' and not appreciative of them. Like.. dandelions are super nice looking #and bright and pretty.. forget me nots are so cute and a nice color.. etc. all of these random things that just spring up in the yard #are so neat. and it's evil that people tear them up and mow them down all the time #I guess maybe I get dandelions because they can kind of take over a space?? MAYBE?? but even then #if I was going to have a yard that is just a giant empty plot of blank grass. I would ratherit have a scattering of dandelions than #just like....... nothingness.#Also super cool that this person I know has columbines growing wildly in the yard. They hate them and pull them up #since they've kind of ''taken over'' a patch of grass near a bench they use #but they're soooo cool... Though they only have the single color ones just purple. My favorite columbines are the ones that are two colors #and almost look like two flowers in one or something.#There's a hill near a road around here where poppies seem to be growing wild.. ough... I wish I could go and take some or something #I've tried to transplant forget me nots everytime I'm in some realitive or friend's yard who has them and I ask to dig a few up but #I think theyre just not the type of flower that really grows long term on a deck lol.. but I wish they were... I just really like the blue #color. THOUGH this year in someone else's yard I found a very cool flower just randomly growing wildly that I had never seen #before. It's called Bethlehem Lungwort and it has spotted leaves and multi colored flowers and it looked like a flower out of a cartoon #at first. Since it was randomly growing wild in a yard the person let me dig one of them upand its' still aliveon my deck actualy #It's not blooming flowers anymore but the leaves are still prospering fine. Though it seems to really dislike the super hot sun #and will wilt in this heat wave if I'm not watering it at least once every other day lol.. anyway

okay hear me out. i know i love science and i’m very good at chemistry and physics. but what if i became a fucking accountant

#IM SERIOUS…….#like i’ve been doing research about what career path to tailor my degree towards when i go back to school #and it seems like chemistry careers outside of phd research and academia just. barely exist in the US anymore #they’ve been largely outsourced or are extremely geographically limited. or it’s pure bench work that barely pays better than retail #and i’m like. knowing what i know now about my health i just cannot go into academia. i cant. it would take up 100% of my life #and as much as i think i could be smart enough i just like don’t. want to give up on hobbies or having a personal life.#i’m a slow reader/writer. i cant be writing all those papers and making all of those curriculums. it would be all i ever did #and i don’t want to constantly move across the country in pursuit of unicorn chem/bio jobs that would actually interest me #i need to be near my family or a few very close friends on case of a medical emergency #and as for accounting like. look at my hobbies. i love optimizing dragon capitalism on FR. i love making charts and solving puzzles #i don’t mind menial tasks. i need a job with consistent hours that i can leave at the office. bc otherwise i can get too wound up #accountants are in demand everywhere and the pay is actually proportional to the amount of schooling required #depending on the company you work for the work/life balance can be pretty reasonable apparently #i’m good at math enjoy solving problems and have job experience recruiting clients and solving their unique problems #it’s not as spiritually fulfilling as astrobiology but like does it have to be? if i could have a stable and healthy life with people i love #idfk man

Being married to someone who also wears glasses, but doesn’t need them HALF as much as I do is wild. Like she’ll just take off her glasses and hand them to me for cleaning. While. She is driving. If I do that? Congrats, I’ve killed us both before the next cross street. With glasses off, my world is shapey blobs of color. I haven’t been able to make sense of distance objects since I was like ten. She? Is fine! (But I’m still instinctively clutching the dashboard in a panic.)

Similarly, she’ll be talking about something in the new shower, and I’ll just be nodding sagely along. And then, five minutes into this convo, she realizes: “You can’t see in the shower, can you?” No. No, my love. I certainly cannot. Saved me SO much stress immediately after surgery, I can tell you. Couldn’t have told you WHAT my incision situation looked like. Also might as well be doing the whole thing with my eyes shut, but y’know. We take what we can get.

#my wife #true hilarity #I did wear contacts for a number of years because it was a safer way to play basketball than uh. it could have been #but then they stopped letting me on teams because I was famously only interested in ball handling if no one came near me #and it turns out no one wants a point guard who is terrified to leave the bench #and then I started taking an insane number of naps with contacts IN which. fun fact. don’t do that.#anyway. all that said. love a pair of glasses. means I don’t die within moments of leaving my bed each morning #but her being able to just get ready and nearly forget hers altogether? what a world she occupies. I love her.

I just had a very nice moment with a little wasp that sat next to me and cleaned herself while I was reading, and then immediately after almost got MUGGED BY A SQUIRREL.

I am very comfortable being around critters but goddamn some of them really need to be less comfortable around humans.

#it was just under my bench and i was like 'alright whatever' but then it hopped up and TRIED TO WRESTLE MY WRAPPED SANDWICH AWAY FROM ME #lil dude. you cannot eat my plastic sandwich bag. stop this foolishness.#I got distracted worrying about one of its feet the toes were kinda mangled #it didn't look like it had any issue rn but it did seem to have broken them in the past. one of the toes was at a hella weird angle.#anyway. i do not know when i got perfectly comfortable letting critters hang out near me but #good lord people need to STOP FEEDING THE SQUIRRELS for this reason #a squirrel should not feel comfortable enough to try to BEST ME IN A WRESTLING MATCH FOR A SANDWICH.

Quick and easy way for a man to catch Kae’s attention? Show him a nice good ol feat of strength

#hc; kaeya #//Okay; it works with most anybody lbr bdbdb #//But ye #//Not even just combat-wise (tho he Will find himself checking out ppl with keen interest in such cases more often than not)#//But also in simply lifting weight most others can’t. or sb like Wagner pounding away at their latest project at the forge in a way that #makes Kae go ‘god I wish that were me’ and making Huffman or sb turn look at him like ‘Pls be serious. you can do better. pls-‘#//njshshdh #//I love playfully slandering Wagner jfbjdhdb #//But yeee #//Nothin quite like flexing muscles and guttural grunts of effort to trigger windows error noise in his brain hfbfbb #//Bro will be Transfixed #//I jokingly say it’s on the Khaenri’ahn dna jdbd #//His brain is just hardwired that way hdbfb #//Bro will see sb lug around a big ol wine barrel or smth; or damn near bench press and/or fucken CHUCK another man & be like ‘me next pls’#//Actually pls throw him; he is utterly DELIGHTED by it. Doesn’t usually like being touched but he’ll allow this and gladly #//He would be so very giddy and happy afterwards; he’d be practically glowing #//Doesnt matter where or how high/how you wrangle him into it; just #//DO IT jdhdb

Weirdly specific complaint but I hate how annoying it is to find a cafe or restaurant that has like, reasonably private seating where you aren't either crammed in and the person at the next table over can effortlessly snoop even when its busy, or its so quiet that the staff can snoop. Need some moderately busy booth seating arrangements in my area. Smh.

#this is bc somebody wants to have a private convo with me but neither of us have empty houses #i guess the alternative is like a park bench but its november and all of those near me are on like Major Paths too urgh!!!#i mean its not like top secret bs id just like it to be comfortably private

nothing quite like a midnight cry session with a good friend to make you feel better about the world

#making this bc i have a lot of love in my heart for him rn and i don't know where to put it all #for those who want the full story:#there was an incident with my friend group where i got pissed off and stormed out #and kinda just ended up walking until i ended up at a dark bench near the lake #and my boyfriend called in one of our other friends to talk to me #bc i was pissed and angry and didn't want to talk #and we talked for a while and i calmed down and started crying #i told him how i feel like i am never doing enough and he stopped me dead in my tracks and told me all of the shit i've already done #and it was extremely theraputic #also they give the best fucking hugs i felt so much better #i'm so grateful for him being in my life #lea chatters

the way that me and my friends went to a majority queer goth club after the first place we were at and a girl came up to me to tell me that some guy was taking pics and videos of me and my friends dancing like wow so nowhere is safe huh

#and on of my friends had sat on the bench next to him to rest for a sec and he got mad weird which was when the girl came up to me #and my friend saw him on his phone after i told her and was like ‘what’s that? 🤨’ and he got up and slinked away #and then returned on the dance floor near us like okay weirdo #have a good sesh i guess it was mad dark idk what he got #it was a vibe otherwise they were playing like all 80s music

I think I’m always going to be running and trying to find the next thing that will make me happy and it will always be something I have to find within myself. So that’s cool.
