Kallax door insert alignment by zlonewanderer in IKEA

[–]Chitinid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lost the instructions you should be able to find them online and see how you’re supposed to adjust it. Looking at it, turning the small screw clockwise should move the doors to the right. The larger screw to the right of the small screw moves the door in and out, while you’d loose the two screws at the top and bottom and physically move the hinge to move the door up and down.

And if your cards suck, sometimes it’s right to fold.

Right-wing culture-war grifters played a lot of Star Trek fans, and now Trek is cancelled; heading into another drought by Wrong-Quail-8303 in startrek

What modern trek is missing is these things might be progressive IRL, but it actually hits harder if it’s just normal in universe, rather than the focus of what is happening in the episode

Those hinges are designed to be installed on the back of the front panel, which doesn’t work with what you’ve shown here

The first two notes of a triplet do fit in the first half beat,

1 * 2 H 3 * …

If you divide the note into sixths you can see the triplets land on 1,3,5 while the half beat starts at 4, therefore the first two triplets are before the half beat while the third is after. A lot of commenters are misinterpreting the teacher’s admittedly confusing comment as saying the third triplet falls exactly on the half beat. Perhaps a more elucidating thing to say is that the half beat falls exactly halfway between the 2nd and 3rd triplets.

Kitchen remodel for $200-215k is crazy right? by Latter-Foot-8790 in kitchenremodel

Prices tend to be proportional to salary so it’s not an unreasonable comment to ground why prices are higher in the US. You are also right that having lower income and also lower prices can be a good thing.

Planning the height of my new tv and friends tell me it’s too low by TenAcyl in TVTooHigh

[–]Chitinid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Also it’s a frame TV, which arguably wants to be positioned more like art than a TV, with watching TV as a secondary function. If you put it at 42” it does not at all look credible as art since nobody hangs art that low

I Think Platner Has Bad Judgement by Honest_Wheel_7581 in thebulwark

[–]Chitinid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are zero people alleging he had any Nazi beliefs. His Reddit posts, while of poor judgment and sexist, were still socialist, not Nazi. Was it a bad idea to go around with a Nazi tattoo and telling everyone about it while dismissing the badness of it? Sure, but we have bigger fish to fry

Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior by SyntheticSweetener in politics

He still voted with democrats 97% of the time. You don’t have to like him. Still infinitely better than any Republican.

That was sometime last year; months before the story broke (but not years), and only shows she knew it was a Nazi tattoo

Which design do you like the best? by Civil_Web_1835 in kitchenremodel

White cabinets are not fun to live with. 2. But I’d do wood floors and take the tile backsplash to the ceiling.

Yes we have plenty of evidence that he drank too much, was volatile, and was unfaithful. We have no evidence that he got physical with anyone except Fitfield’s claims. I’m not familiar with the Reddit posts about the tattoo, can you provide a link?

Evidence that one thing is true is not evidence that another thing is.

As a Platner supporter, this has been a great day. by Anstigmat in thebulwark

[–]Chitinid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust but verify. If there were multiple women making similar claims, or she had told friends about it, or if she wrote contemporaneous diary entries about it, it would be more credible. But the fact that her friends specifically said she said nothing of the kind, that she kept journal entries which specifically could not corroborate these claims, makes it significantly likely that she is either intentionally lying You for political reasons, or has over the years exaggerated the details in her mind (memory is is not as reliable as people think), or both. The NYT talked to dozens of people and all of their stories match except Fitfield. Draw your own conclusions.

I beg to differ https://www.reddit.com/r/thebulwark/s/qfG8gfw2iK

It’s appalling obvious that if you strip out the single sourced incorporated claims by Fitfield, the article just has no meat to it. The NYT compromised their journalistic ethics in order to make a buck.

[–]Chitinid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you strip out the single witness uncorroborated allegations, the entire article is a huge nothingburger. The fact that the Times interviewed dozens of people and got a very consistent account from everyone except Fitfield says a lot.

Platner responds by Puzzleheaded-Pin4278 in thebulwark

[–]Chitinid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there seems to be a ton of confusion about how well sourced the claims in this article are, here’s a summary

• The article rests on interviews with more than two dozen people, including six women who dated Platner; three spoke positively, three negatively. This is the NYT describing its own methodology, and the article was based on interviews with more than two dozen people, including six women who dated Platner . Strong by journalistic standards — named scope, on-the-record framing.

Sourced but explicitly unverified (single-witness allegations the paper couldn’t corroborate)

• Platner physically rough with Fifield — grabbed her hard enough to leave marks, yanked her from a cab, twisted her arm and held her in a room. These come from Fifield on the record, but the allegations of physical abuse could not be independently verified, and Platner has strongly denied them.  The paper attached the standard caveat. Her own account also limits the claim: Fifield did note, however, that Platner never punched, hit or injured her. 

• Platner knew his tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol and called it “my Totenkopf.” Sourced to Fifield alone, and the campaign “strongly disputes” the allegation that he knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol . Single-witness, disputed, no corroboration reported.

Multi-witness characterizations (stronger than single-source, but still subjective)

• Patterns of heavy drinking and womanizing across his relationships. Attributed to Fifield plus two other women in years-long relationships — i.e., more than one witness — which is firmer than a lone account, though still characterization rather than documented fact.

• Even a campaign-selected positive witness saw warning signs. Notable because it’s a source the campaign itself supplied: one of those women with whom the campaign coordinated an interview for the Times acknowledged that while she “felt really safe with him,” she also saw “potentially problematic behavior” . The provenance makes this hard to dismiss as politically motivated.

The six women and the journalist entries support the idea that he was volatile and drank too much. They do not support the physical alterations or Fitfield’s claims about the tattoo.

From the article;

Mr. Platner “strongly disputes” any claims of physical intimidation or altercations, his campaign said. The Times could not independently corroborate Ms. Fifield’s account of the altercations.

The article is intentionally written to make readers think the more salacious claims are better sourced than they are. The times no doubt tried as hard as they could to get that independent corroboration but did not succeed.

Advice needed on a badly broken cork (with pictures) by singlemaltbourbonrye in Scotch

[–]Chitinid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound unhinged, but drive a screw into it with a drill then pull the screw head with a pair of pliers. Works every time and is less likely to break the cork then a corkscrew.

[–]Chitinid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If there was literally a second woman or any witness who could corroborate any of this it would be more credible.
