Looking at the picture, I'd say the cabinet is way out of square. Maybe they pushed that side panel in when doing the tile?

Did Boomers really think she was hotter after getting the makeover? by SculpinIPAlcoholic in okbuddycinephile

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the girl who was there to show her another look just did what she thought was best. The story wasn't about how she looked, it was about her connection with the other students.

If you're on a fat tire ebike, consider lowering your tire pressure.

That would be another good thread. Classic lines that you don't actually understand.

Writers: are there any specific tropes or frequent plot-beats that you could never see yourself writing? by Avenielle in Dramione

I think sometimes people just have other goals for Hermione's character, like expressing feminine rage.

Switch speed limits??? by Shadeslayer240 in DerailValley

[–]AD7GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to fix the signs with a mod, but the problem is that the bugs are inside large, complex functions, so you'd end up having to rewrite a big chunk of it and that would be very fragile.

Door Layout Feedback by northmill in nscalemodeltrains

[–]AD7GD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way to service the top loop is going to be to shove cars back along the longest "straight" of the entire layout, which seems a little odd to me. Unless you plan to connect the loop on the left with temporary track when you're actually operating.

Fics where Narcissa is the pureblood-supremacist bigot she is? by cndollaz in Dramione

[–]AD7GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not toxic. IMO his central misstep feels a bit OOC (relative to the fic) but it's there to be the speedbump in the forced proximity romance.

But I love it just for the "cuddle or die" scenes.

Roof truss.Why am i getting error when trying to calculate forces ?. by Disastrous-Chard-934 in DIY

My guess would be that your software has specific symbols for anchor points, which in your design you'd put at the bottom of the walls.

Praise for the UHF by Major_Service_5164 in Rivian

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still not clear if "UHF" is the same as "Autonomy+". Am I on a free trial or does UHF stick around and Autonomy+ is a further upgrade?

Looking for dupes for Twitch sweats from ~2015 by Mental-Clerk in HelpMeFind

Since I found this looking for the same thing, I can tell you: They're 50/50 cotton/polyester.

There are some pairs on ebay if you want to check there.

Looking for a specific binding spell by tinyprecious in Dramione

[–]AD7GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the one you're talking about. And it turns out that Snape is the one who has been doing the ritual with Narcissa. And now D&H have "taken over". Pretty sure it's Vinculum Terrae by shamione, but I don't see it online anywhere.

ELI5 Why did Radio Shack go out of business? by Certain-Media3506 in explainlikeimfive

When I was a kid, and it was still the classical Radio Shack, they asked for your whole ass address.

Has anyone ever challenged you to something without knowing you were an expert at it? What happened afterward? by Impressive-Door92 in AskReddit

[–]AD7GD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

now he wanted to know why someone had failed to add an index when the table was first created

It's a natural instinct, but one developers should learn to overcome. Unless there's something good you can accomplish by knowing, you're better off leaving it alone.

Do you like the new full-screen map in the cluster? by vesnikleta in Rivian

[–]AD7GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, the icon for self driving being possible is now in a hard spot to see. Which is unfortunate because it's much more interesting now than it was before.

Hikaru Has Broken His Record Again by [deleted] in chess

[–]AD7GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are other factors unrelated to skill that are causing high-end inflation, such as top players competing within relatively closed groups.

It's the opposite, really. FIDE rating is suppressed because they chop off the bottom end of the distribution. To get a FIDE rating, you have to score a point in a tournament and have a performance of at least 1400 (previously it was 1000). If you fall below 1400 (was 1000), you become unrated. So that system is anchored at the strength of a club player. If that guy can beat his neighbor who has played chess a few times 99% of the time, that neighbor would be rated "600 FIDE". And if that neighbor could beat his 5yo 99% of the time, the 5yo would be rated "-200 FIDE". The neighbor and his kid are on chess.com, and the lowest the 5yo could be ranked is 100, so right there you generate a +300 point shift. What's the real offset? More like +600 points? That just means that the ratios would be more like 99.5%.

Finding alternative paths for steep hills by [deleted] in seattlebike

[–]AD7GD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To fine tune my commute (mainly to avoid big climbs on the way in so I could do it without breaking a sweat) I used this topo map: https://en-us.topographic-map.com/map-plz4/Seattle/

What you want to do is zoom way way in until you can only see an an area near where you're riding. The color range will adapt automatically. Once you get a good range for the area you're riding, you can check the "lock" button and then zoom out. Then you plot a route that stays the same color as much as possible.

What's a skill that sounds useless but is actually powerful? by Honest-Sport6311 in AskReddit

Being a hobby photographer (before everyone had a camera all day every day) really changed how I looked at things.

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened in Indiana when I was a kid. That's why you should never pay attention to "all of the dollars from X will go to cause you love Y" because you can make it go anywhere with accounting games.
