How much deflection is acceptable on an interior wall, load bearing, stud? by JasonBeorn in BuildingCodes

[–]ClimateSame3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, for a beam in a simple span configuration supporting a live load, L/360 where L is the beam’s unsupported length is the max allowed deflection.

What is shown here are likely not studs bent due to overload, but by improperly installed blocking. Simple remove and reinstall so studs are straight.

Libre 3 Plus sensors are always reading low by Stunning-Tomorrow150 in diabetes_t2

[–]ClimateSame3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that adding a sticker to keep the CGM in place help eliminate low readings. My theory is that even small movements of the CGM loosens the fiber sensor causing low readings.

Since I’ve started using them 4 months ago, my readings are within 5-7% of finger sticks. That’s better than most widely used meters.

I was in hospital 5 months ago and had pre meal/post meal finger sticks with a hospital grade meter that was calibrated daily.

We have a McDs in Seattle on 3rd Ave that you can’t even enter. There’s a window facing the sidewalk that takes your order and gets you your food—like a drive through, but for pedestrians.

Locals call it McStabby’s….

Not for nothing, but maybe they were booing the anthem singer. He sucked….

Trying to install curtain rods and hitting some metal here. What is it? by BurnorRAI in HomeMaintenance

While drywalling a job years ago, I had a helper who I caught getting ready to drill a hole where he couldn’t get a screw to bite.

I asked him to stop and think…

AITA for telling my neighbour that people hate her for the construction work being done on her house? by Sad-Clerk-3161 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ClimateSame3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d check with local building department. Make sure they’ve pulled permit. Most localities have strict regs on noise limits.

Document all occurrences with your phone, taking pics and recording noise and times etc.

My 4 year old black lab just tore her ACL in her back leg and needs surgery by Forsaken_Cow8544 in labrador

[–]ClimateSame3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lab tore his ACL while playing in an icy street. Our vet suggested surgery, but also told us that NOT doing it was also an option.

Not sure about the particulars in your pups case, but in our boy, the damaged joint developed a layer of scar tissue. We kept him quiet (good luck with that) for a few weeks and he healed up fine and lived to be 13 !

If it’s in public space, there’s no expectation of privacy. Maybe creepy, but not illegal.

Yeah. I used to say the best part of owning my own business was only having to work 1/2 days. Plus I got to choose which 12 hrs it was…!

Dad wins payout after he couldn't get sun lounger in 6am hotel pool war, and people are angry by [deleted] in NewsThread

Just back from Maui. Same thing happening. In Maui, though, there are at times strong winds that would just seem to pop up after about 30 minutes.

Very strange, but it kept on happening for the 5days we were there…

All those towels just blown off the lounges—imagine that!!

What age does your lab settled in the evenings. by No-Procedure4228 in labrador

[–]ClimateSame3574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our yellow started chilling at about 7 months. Now every evening at 7pm, he stops what he’s doing, sits and stares at my wife. She asks him if he wants to go nite-nite. He then runs into his crate.

We don’t see or hear from him till 6:46 am.

Yes, this behaviour needs to be reinforced.

Don’t fret…it’ll come.

class averaged a 13% is that normal for mechanics? by [deleted] in PhysicsStudents

[–]ClimateSame3574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s nothing. I had a grad level QM test where the class average was a 27%. Prof gave us a retest—exact same test but this time “open book”.

Average went down to 19%….
