They probably think that if they're not in the library they're spending their parents money at some store/coffee shop/restaurant. While that will be true for some I imagine the rest will roam around in hordes causing "mayhem". Either that or the church.

A little off topic, but on first glance I thought that website was called fart caller.

On topic, I've never Heard of this service. I still haven't setup anything like this. Might give it a try.

I had just finished rewatching The Pacific. The last few episodes really drive home a fraction of this feeling (empathetically anyway).

I reckon it has to do with the weight that the workers have to pick up (usually no more than 50 lbs). If they err on the side of none, then people will likely try to put a little in at a time. Then they won't care. I imagine if they say a little is okay, then people will fill the bins/bags with soil. I can hear it now, "It's just a little!"

It looks like it uses chrome for certain data, and I'm not a fan of that. Any idea if I can change that to use Firefox?

Another thought. Try the warranty.

Edit: Hmm. Says not transferrable. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to try

Looking at the picture, a regular piece of wood should work as long as the thickness is the same. Otherwise the front will sit a bit proud if thicker, or there will be a gap if thinner. Though you could trim the dado back on the sides if it's thicker. Edit: and make sure to measure size before trying to take it off. Just in case it breaks more.

It looks like that particle board is nailed to the face. Hopefully it isn't glued as well, otherwise it'll be a beast to get off. Those screws are just for the handle and likely have no structural qualities.

I agree, that piece on the back of the face got pretty mangled, and glueing it up honestly wouldn't be enough long term.

You could try clipping them off instead of pulling them out. Just use a flush cutter (or as close to flush) and cut them down to the wood. This is what most do when taking our trim, as it can cause more damage to get the nails/staples out.
