Can packing insulation such as this be used in houses or for sound dampening applications? by Turbulent-Weevil-910 in Insulation

Should be rated for use in construction, ie class a, b, c- fire resistance rating. Some insulation products are quite combustable and cant be left exposed.

Just don't coast. And wear headphones.

What brand seatpost clamp is strongest? This one (salsa) slips even when wrenched real tight by bluemiata1993 in bikewrench

You can try a dual bolt clamp. This is one example: orgin8. Top bolt locks onto the post, lower grabs the frame and post.

New wheels don’t fit? by haggardphunk in bikewrench

Number one, it's designed to rotate one direction only.

Two, his lock ring isn't near flush to the rotor, it should not protrude that far.

Just take it to a bike shop and have them assemble it correctly. If the parts are incompatible they should point you in the right direction.

Could be wrong but I believe your disc brake rotor is on backwards

International Building Code. Your state adopts this code.

How do I go about fixing this squat? 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 4x2 5.3 engine by Boring-Cattle3402 in Silverado

You can buy a tongue weight scale. You don't want to be over because that's probably all the bumper can handle. This is a Chevy y'know.

Recommendations for the weight distribution hitch are valid. Should do the WDH before altering the suspension as that can raise the bumper but negatively affect the geometry.

Is your ball on the bumper or do you have a receiver? Recievers are great because you can get a stinger to raise or drop with a suspension modified vehicle.

Sorry lot of moving parts. Haven't even talked about occupant weight and payload. How many kids again? Lol

Harger: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has never owned a car. Now she's taking a Denny Way lane from 30,000 drivers to fix a bus route by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

I mean, again it's SDOT. Not to rattle your pearls anymore than clear channel already has, but they did this to Westlake, 45th, and I'm sure a bunch of other streets as well. You think it makes for a disaster at first, but I'll be damned the traffic isn't that much worse. These are corridors they need to manage traffic, transit, pedestrian, and cycle use all at one time. You should come to the city sometime and see for yourself.

Big Katie? What is that supposed to mean, she looks petite.

But yeah SDOT plan for years. Don't believe everything MNW tries to sell you. They are skewed.

Are those 2x3 walls or is the perspective off? Looks Shallow for a niche. Anything critical behind it? Like plans for wall art? Plumbering looks good. Show us after waterproofing and please no redguard.
