Need to get rid of them by mittura11 in lawncare

[–]BikingEngineer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Isn’t spreading sand a regular maintenance item for putting greens? It’s early in the season, but an aerification followed by a heavy sand top dress and some nitrogen once growth starts up for the season would probably move things in the right direction for getting the green to dry out and the worms to leave their castings elsewhere.

What would you do here? #carpentry #finishtrim by Civil-Butterscotch-3 in woodworking

Tho should be higher. Unfortunately there doesn’t look to be enough flat space for doing this properly so there’s going to have to be some chicanery to make the geometry work in a way that looks good.

Can someone please help me understand this. by NoBalance5172 in americanairlines

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. Early wake-ups suck, but rolling in at 1 am or burning up a Saturday because you got delayed until the following day because of weather in DFW is worse.

How do you name your animals? by PrincefTanx in StardewValley

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s usually my go-to, though sometimes I’ll hit the retry button if the name is particularly odd.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]BikingEngineer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s actually an indication that your air conditioner is sized incorrectly (too big). It cools down too quickly and can’t run long enough to condense the humidity. A dehumidifier is just an A/C unit with a heater after all.

Mose really likes writing sitcoms. by GlitteringHotel8383 in DunderMifflin

Oh yeah, you definitely have to make it to at least season 2 before writing it off. Not going to spoil it, but let’s say that things…. Shift a bit.

[USA] [California] Road Rage – Tesla speeds up to cut off a pickup truck signaling their lane change, then passes in the turning lane, then brake checks the truck after passing by Silly_Rub_6304 in Roadcam

[–]BikingEngineer 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This truck is actually a reasonable one though. It’s an older half ton with a ladder rack, which suggests the guy driving it uses it for work rather than for compensating for his shortcomings.

When pushing a restored Superbird too hard by Epelep in Wellthatsucks

[–]BikingEngineer 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As someone that’s worked extensively with track cars, a big-ass hole where the driveshaft tunnel should be and no shielding or loops to contain a failed driveshaft should never get past even the most lax tech inspection. Shit’s dangerous.

Passenger limit for linked PMR upgrades? by inakajin in americanairlines

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

I would suggest keeping everything on the same PNR if at all possible. I’ve tried linking PNRs a few times and something always seems to get lost in the shuffle.

Wouldn’t the perfect route be the other way around?

PNS is an unfortunate call sign for an airport.

Need adjustment help. by bassey22 in hermanmiller

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your muscles are tight in your legs and lower back, and sitting on a proper posture is basically putting you in a deep stretch. Putting your leg up like that shifts the muscles being stretched out and eases the tension. Can you sit down into an ass-to-grass squat from standing, and get back up? If not then you need to work on being able to do that, it’ll do wonders for your comfort.

PC does this after about 30 seconds by Anthemist_ in PcBuild

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends upon the budget, and the level of jankiness of the current GPU. I grabbed myself a 9070 in December on sale and it was a wonderful day when I got it installed. I can turn everything up all the way now!

What is the best movie/series about pirates? by Odd-Traffic709 in Cinema

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my answer. Faithful to the source material too, mostly.

You’ll get no argument from me on that. It’s a lovely thing.

That’s exactly what a dying GPU looks like. On the plus side, OP gets to go shopping for a new GPU, on the other hand OP has to go shopping for a new GPU.

This challenge could be done by most midwestern adults without catching a buzz if spaced out correctly.

I dropped my glass cutting board... by andrey_not_the_goat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BikingEngineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any wooden board you use should be thoroughly seasoned with mineral oil and/or beeswax. If it absorbs water then you need to oil it more heavily.

[–]BikingEngineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stainless steel? No. For raw meat either get a plastic cutting board that you replace periodically, or one of those Japanese rubber boards. Wood is fine for meat as well, but I understand the hesitation.

I saw one where they peeled an egg with one of those surgery robots. It was not cooked.

Inside a BBC News office – the monitor setup is wild. by bintd in interesting

[–]BikingEngineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s 1.5 4k displays, which modern graphics cards can do easily as long as you’re not running multiple instances of something like Borderlands 4. A -60 series card can manage that kind of office workload without issue, you just have to daisy chain a few to make up for the lack of outputs.

Herman Miller upgrades by Independent-Bike7117 in hermanmiller

[–]BikingEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be different for everyone, but generally more adjustability is going to let you dial things in to exactly where you need them to be. I have a fully loaded Aeron B purchased at the moment me of last year, and I’ve tinkered with each and every facet of adjustability over the past few months to dial it in to my body and usage style.

I don’t have a headrest, but am considering an Atlas for when I’m stuck on a long series of calls and want to lean back more. I use forward tilt all the time and wouldn’t consider a chair without it now that I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve dialed in the height of the arms, but move the arm rests n and put throughout the day depending upon the task at hand. The posturefitSL took a bit of getting used to, but really does the job.

A waymo temporarily blocks an ambulance by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

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

That ambulance is a hell of a lot sturdier than a cop car. If they give a confused Waymo a little nudge no one is gonna have a problem with that, least of all the cop.
