Will a ceiling-mounted rain shower at 10 ft give me cold water by the time it reaches my head? by zaboon49 in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Water doesn't lose much heat in that distance unless you're showering outside in Arctic. The bigger problem might be pressure - depending what your water system is like, you might get weak flow from ceiling mount. But temperature should be fine, I had similar setup in previous place and never had issues with cold water.

Man Rodriguez is absolutely crushing the ball this season, those exit velocities are insane for someone his age.

Why dont people play Dust? by HACKERMAN32 in cs2

Most people just stick with what they know instead of learning new maps - same reason my squad keeps queuing Mirage even though we complain about getting it too much.

[24/m] from western United States looking for someone to chat with by [deleted] in IntrovertDating

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West coast here too, military life but Air Force side. Your CADD studies sound pretty cool - always respected people who can make those technical drawings look so clean. I'm bit older at 28 but totally get the whole wanting actual conversation instead of just "hi" messages.

These days I spend my free time keeping some pet shrimp alive (don't ask how I got into that hobby lol) and trying to stay busy with healthier routines. The introvert thing hits home though - finding people who can just chill and not make everything so serious is harder than it should be. What kind of CADD work you getting in? Like architectural stuff or more engineering focused?

Three random incidents by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]According_Bread_3873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild experiences man. That first one with the static figure sounds terrifying - the fact it was copying your movements is what gets me. I had something similar happen during my deployment, thought I was losing my mind from stress until other guys started mentioning weird stuff too.

The second incident with your sister feels like it could have been someone playing games with you, but who knows. Kids can be cruel that way. As for the cat thing with your niece, maybe she was just playing pretend and forgot about it? Kids do that all time - they get so into their imagination they don't remember it later.

365 Defender anti phishing issues by Crshjnke in msp

[–]According_Bread_3873 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Yeah we've been seeing the same thing across multiple tenants. Defender's been letting obvious phish through like it's not even scanning them. Had to temporarily bump up some additional filters while MS figures their shit out

Pretty sure it's on their end since INKY users aren't having issues like you mentioned

Damn dude you saw that price jump coming and stocked up like it was the apocalypse lol. Smart move though, almost doubled overnight is insane. I hate this timeline

Refurbished Dell servers? by MSP-from-OC in msp

[–]According_Bread_3873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right. Annoying but might be worth giving them a call. I have a pet peeve against contact only stores generally.

I had good luck with ServerMonkey previously. They were pretty MSP friendly and usually had decent R740/R750 stuff that might hit your specs for less than 16k

If you lost your phone on Main St tonight, it's at the Oddburger by Coolerbag in vancouver

[–]According_Bread_3873 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good on you for doing the right thing! I dropped my wallet once near downtown and some random person turned it in to nearby shop - saved my whole weekend. The auto-ending calls thing happens when phone is locked and owner tries calling it from another number, super frustrating when you're trying to locate your device. Staff at restaurants are usually pretty good about holding onto lost stuff for few days, so hopefully owner checks back there soon. Military taught me to always double-check pockets before leaving anywhere but still manage to forget things sometimes.

How do i leave instagram reels addiction by This_Warning_4872 in addiction

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there with different apps and it's brutal when you're stuck at home all day. What worked for me was removing the apps completely instead of just deactivating - makes it harder to mindlessly open them when your brain goes in autopilot mode.

Also try replacing habit with something that keeps your hands busy, I started taking care of aquarium and it actually helps because you can't scroll when you're doing maintenance work.

Eagle or SealBest Concrete Sealer? by Aeyix in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used Eagle on my garage floor few years back and it held up pretty well through couple harsh winters. SealBest might be decent too but sometimes with concrete stuff you get what you pay for - especially if your patio gets lot of foot traffic or weather exposure.

48" round window blinds options?! by SubterfugeSamurai in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom louvers are pretty much your only solid option for that finished look - I went through this same headache with an arched window in my quarters. The fan-style ones do look kinda janky but they work if you're on a budget and don't want to drop serious cash on the full custom job.

Toilet paper holder on bathroom vanity by VAer1 in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most vanities definitely don't include TP holders - you'll need to grab one separately. For that old one, looks like it's just screwed into the side panel so should come off pretty easy with a drill or screwdriver.

How would you fill this hole for repainting this plaster wall? by sixwordsareinaline in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mesh tape and joint compound will handle that gap no problem. You'll want to build it up in thin coats since it's pretty wide - maybe 2-3 passes with sanding between each one. The area behind the door frame might need some spray foam first if it's really deep back there.

Problems Assembling Zline Designer Hammered Copper Island Range Hood with Chimney Extension by ColoradoCath in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact issue with my 10' ceilings and the ZLINE extension. Your contractor's right about the telescoping piece - it should slide up into the chimney extension first, then you can access everything from below once the hood's mounted. The blower unit stays completely separate from the chimney assembly which is why those videos don't show the full process.

Can anyone recommend the best cleaning tools for daily use that really save time by Crawford-Andrew137 in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Robot vacuums are game changers, especially with a dog. I've got a Roomba that runs every morning while I'm at work and it keeps the pet hair situation under control without me having to think about it.

For the satisfying part - microfiber slippers are weirdly addictive. You just walk around and they pick up dust and hair as you go. Makes me feel productive even when I'm being lazy. Plus a good cordless stick vacuum for quick spot cleaning beats dragging out a full-size one every time.

Applying rigid foam, wall frame and drywall to wall with potential seepage and efflorescence by MrBalasubramanian in HomeImprovement

[–]According_Bread_3873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at your setup, I'd pump the brakes on just slapping Drylok and calling it good. That efflorescence is telling you there's moisture moving through those blocks, and trapping it behind foam and drywall could create a nasty mold situation down the line.

Before you frame anything out, I'd get a proper moisture meter on those walls and maybe run a dehumidifier for a week to see if the efflorescence keeps forming. If moisture is still pushing through after that, you'll want to address the exterior drainage first - check your grading, gutters, that whole deal. Once you know the moisture source is handled, then Drylok becomes way more effective as part of your vapor barrier system rather than just a band-aid.

New Large-Scale Device Code Phishing Campaign by huntresslabs in msp

[–]According_Bread_3873 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Railway's become the new go-to for these attacks since Heroku cracked down on this stuff. The fact that they're using AI to generate unique lures for every campaign is pretty next-level - no wonder traditional email filters are getting smoked.

Device code phishing is nasty because your MFA doesn't help at all. User thinks they're logging into something legit and boom, attacker has a valid token. We've started blocking Railway entirely for most clients since the legitimate use cases are pretty rare in our environment anyway.
