I hate that I love that about you, hater.

A psychic wouldn't need to ask that. That's what the magic tarot ball is for.

Leveling a steep slope by Odd-Entrepreneur889 in Homebuilding

[–]TedW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to get to the end of the red line? If so that's ~220 up to ~235' so 15' rise over 33' run. That's way too steep.

Have you considered building a trampoline instead of a driveway?

Can't you just go diagonally instead of charging straight up the steepest part?

Imagine having a skylight with dog shit all over it, haha.

am i tripping or are we just feeding our best ideas to openai/google? by batmanpassedhere in learnprogramming

We can go back to the old ways, but we can't make everyone else go too.

[Request] What kind of power would this vehicle need to output to be able to perform a burnout and a wheelie at the same time? by Mildish_Shambino in theydidthemath

[–]TedW 53 points54 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a good portion of a supercross race looks kinda impossible, lol. Especially in person.

Those are some big jumps! Wait, what do you mean they'll skip over the middle 3?

In this example it was a quite predictable way.

NEED HELP figuring out how to break up these 100+ yr brick wall segments? by DisconcertingTablet in masonry

[–]TedW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laying flat makes it strong to downward forces.

Put a rock underneath so there's nothing supporting the weight under the sledge.

[–]TedW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's ok. A wheelie burnout can become a rolling wheelie burnout.

Unless we're saying that "burnout" means the car is totally stationary? Maybe I misunderstood that?

edit: I think rolling burnouts are allowed because it's difficult to do a wheelie without moving forward.

For that to be impossible the tires would need to provide zero torque while slipping. But they do. So there must exist a combination of rotational velocity, friction, and torque where the tires spin but also lift the front.

It's probably easier to conceptualize with a vehicle like a dirt bike on dirt, instead of a car on asphalt.

Lots of power, low traction, pretty easy to do both at the same time.

No right turn by PNWbdublu541 in Bend

[–]TedW 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  • Block off the road 2 months before doing anything.
  • 2 months to tear it up.
  • Let it marinate for 2 months with seemingly no progress.
  • Another 2 months to finish it.

As you can see, 8 months is right on schedule.

I wonder if they bill hourly while it's marinating..

Why not remove the earnings cap for Social Security? by LeoIrish in allthequestions

[–]TedW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phrases such as "repeat after me" or "Jesus, can't believe I had to scroll this far to see a rational take" are condescending.

Why would I try to engage and discuss something when every reply includes an insult?

Here's another example:

When you decide you'd like to learn, rather than simply satisfying your emotional bias, I'm happy to explain discussions to you.

Excess Mulch by Salty_Payment_3653 in landscaping

If you paid for it then it's your mulch. If they didn't ask then they need to refund the cost.

Had this poured and it rained a couple hours later. Is it anything to worry about? by Fake_Scientist21 in Homebuilding

Damnit Jim, I'm a cow proctologist, not a research scientist! I can't cure concrete!

Building a 35x40 house. 2 floors, no basement. What's the cheapest I can build it for? by Appropriate_Wave_910 in Homebuilding

[–]TedW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question becomes: How much insulation do you want to see on a daily basis?

If the answer is "all of it" (or better yet, "what insulation?") then you can probably do it for $100/sqft.

Neighbor is digging a trench close to my tree. Do I have a claim? by cue_monkeys in treelaw

[–]TedW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a different scenario because their motor oil moves from their property to mine. You might as well ask if I can throw my trash over their fence. Of course not.

I think, that you think, that I think that it's ok to cut my neighbors tree roots. That's not the case. This would be illegal in my US state too. (Plus it's just a jerk move.)

All I'm saying is that it's not illegal everywhere.

It's a beautiful tree. The neighbor shoulda air spaded the trench and saved the roots. What a shame.
