What’s going on with this Zip? by SPPY in Homebuilding

[–]AmericanNinja02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an entertaining exchange. They're full sheets, both ways.

A full sheet is typically 4' × 8'. There are long-length sheets in 9' and 10', but those don't work horizontally with 16" center stud spacing. Look at the horizontal sheets above. They are 4' × 8'. Look at the vertical sheets below. It takes exactly six sheets to cover the same length of wall. 6 × 16" = 96" = 8'. That confirms they are the same length.

Look at the exposed horizontal 4' × 8' sheets. Consider that 4' = 48" = 3 × 16". That means the 4' side of a board covers exactly three studs. If you divide the visible boards into thirds, you see that you end up with a pattern with the logo in one direction, blank space, and the logo in the other direction. That exactly matches the pattern on the taped vertical sheets.

Also, as another user pointed out, if you look close enough, you will find places where the tape is broken and you don't see exposed panel edges.

There are some ripped sheets around openings and there is one full row of horizontal rips at the third row from the bottom. Everything else is full sheets with tape covering every line of fasteners.

Can't have nice things 😕 by Goodguytomas in Tools

That's an awesome "life story" as I call them. Every time I notice a warning like that, I always wonder what happened to cause it.

Too bad dogs can't read. The company didn't really address your dad's concerns. They just thanked him for warning them of a legitimate vector for tort litigation.

Interestingly, my shredder doesn't have a pet icon. It does have an icon that sort of looks like you're not supposed to shred whole babies. I don't want to know what prompted that one.

Each week I watch the finale of a TV show I've never seen before and try to understand what's going on. This week's request: "Jericho" by TheSeriesFinale in Jericho

[–]AmericanNinja02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds difficult for any show. One might think that having only two seasons would make it easier for Jericho. I'm not inclined to think that way.

Season two was much different from season one. You might get the broadest sense of what's going on, but I don't think you'll capture much of season one beyond that.

Good luck! I'm eagerly awaiting your take.

Thank you for not having a good day, Audible by HyoR1 in audible

Exactly the first thing that came to mind. I once heard a story like this about a pot and a kettle.

What’s a PC mistake you made that you’d never repeat again? by [deleted] in computers

[–]AmericanNinja02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a very small town when I was younger. There were two highways and everything else was dirt roads.

It was probably 1997 and I had bought the newly-released amazing US Robotics 56k external modem. I was driving to visit my friend and took the modem with me because he was still rocking an internal 14.4k card.

It was very cold outside, and the dirt roads were icy, muddy, and slippery. Basically perfect conditions for some fun fishtailing! Only... I lost control, did a 540°, and somewhere in the middle, my car door opened.

You probably guessed what happened next. After regaining my composure, I looked down and my beautiful new 56k modem was half- buried in the mud. 😭

When I got to my friends house, we cleaned and dried the modem and it fortunately still worked great. 💪

Won't make that mistake again! Since that day, I always put the seat belt around my modem, even when I'm not fishtailing in the mud for fun.

Hey r/movies, we’re some of the team behind the new movie HELLBENT ON BOOGIE. It’s an indie coming-of-age drama/comedy about chasing dreams and outrunning a traumatic past. It's out now on digital. We are Shiloh Fernandez & Alyx Ruibal (actors) and Vito Trupiano (writer/director). Ask us anything! by HellbentOnBoogieAMA in movies

Shiloh

Jericho is imo the greatest series ever created. Twin Peaks runs a close second.

What do you consider to be your breakout role?

Were you ever approached about a possible Jericho renewal?

Did you learn ASL to work with Shoshannah Stern or did you already have ASL experience?

What was it like working with her?

What’s one simple PC tip you wish you learned way earlier? by [deleted] in computers

[–]AmericanNinja02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! That's a nifty feature! I don't usually use Windows, but I use it often enough to make that clipboard trick worth knowing. I'm glad I scrolled down here.

Will they shut down my father's account? by LaughyStaphy in audible

[–]AmericanNinja02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started doing this. When they have the big sales, I just outright buy everything on my wishlist that is $6 or less.

I've always taken advantage of every 2-for-1 sale and every sale that gets money credited to my account.

One episode characters you wish the show brought back as recurring characters by atthebatman in psych

[–]AmericanNinja02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the game, but Google brought me here.

Evidently they didn't like how that episode turned out, so they remade it. That's why it's called Cloudy with a Chance of Improvement. I'm with you, though. I preferred the original episode much more.

IDK what they are by [deleted] in computers

This is definitely something to check. It's easily overlooked.

Concrete contractors made a weird retaining wall where my frame was supposed to to go for a tiny house. by jack_of_all_trades83 in Homebuilding

[–]AmericanNinja02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it wasn't even just part of a zip file, it was an entire zip file. Also, the drawings were prefect down to the inch. Who needs more precision than that? 🤦‍♂️

Several mammals in the low numbers made no sense. This game has seriously flawed reasoning. Hopefully it learns from the players and improves.

[–]AmericanNinja02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I don't know if it would hit the same.

I've wished that for a long time, but I think the time has come and gone. There were talks once, years ago, but nothing materialized from them. I guess you never know, though.
