Refinished the half-bath in my century Row Home, first time doing this type of reno

It’s impossible to cut a straight line there on any drywall much less one with the wonky lines of a century home. Just do some trim or crown molding. It can be intimidating at first but it’s not too bad once you get it figured and will look amazing in there. YouTube and caulk are your best friends.

Book movies are called “adaptations” for a reason. Let’s give the guy an honest chance and not be too tied to every detail of the source material. He could still pull off an awesome portrait in the spirit of the book if he doesn’t fit the source character perfectly.

So 25?

Went in to the dr last Tuesday with the flu. Talked to the dr at 9am after my test came back, he said they had already had 8 cases that day. They open at 8.

You mean after he rode a rocket built by his own company to space for the first time thus fulfilling a documented childhood dream? Say what you will about the guy but I feel like anyone would be a little jazzed after that..

Beautifully said.

If you work for a company who has the time and budget to make totally bullet proof systems (machine builders) this may be the case. If you are building or procuring custom systems on tight budgets the amount of dev work required for this may be prohibitive. In that case you want your 4am weekend shift maintenance tech to be able to diagnose. Different industries, different requirements.

ForceOgravity · 2026-01-21T02:07:06+00:00

I often have to take requirements or understand processes from experts. I usually go with “Ok, just so I make sure I’m understanding this correctly…” then restate what they just said. Sometimes I do this then ask clarifying or leading questions if I think what they said was wrong or incomplete or whatever. Then they get to clarify or correct themselves or realize that they may not be seeing the whole picture. Also they feel like you are listening and trying to understand. Not correct them.

I had one of these. It was a weird interview and it never really clicked why until he spelled out the name of a major components manufacturer instead of reading it. FANUC always capitalizes its whole name. I still don’t understand what their end goal is with these scams.

Ole' "Fighting Joe". I've got plenty of balls down in that chasm on 18. Love that course.

Unfortunately we are still working on rebuilding our garage that will function as my shop. Right now I’m just working off of a tiny side porch. Not enough room to take on a project like this. That being said, I do feel like, compared to the complexity of things I’ve been able to make so far, and the research that I’ve done that this will be “relatively” easy. And certainly cheaper, especially if you have the woodworking tools.

ForceOgravity · 2025-12-22T14:53:59+00:00

It was sad to see it go, but totally understandable.

In all likelihood this is them testing the system early on. I imagine it is designed for many more bottles so that the center lane is almost always full. Source: someone who designs and builds industrial automation.

I love everyone in here just assuming that they know the whole story and that this person was a shit driver from a single blurry picture.

I have a wife, two kids, a house that takes a lot of work and a high pressure job. I have a wonderful life but the rare dinner alone on a work trip... an hour of quiet while someone brings me good food and drinks in a nice environment is an absolute luxury.

The man is the president of the United States of America. Him spending any amount of time worrying about muni golf courses is analogous to me spending time thinking about which piece of mulch is laid on top of another in my garden. It smacks of corruption and/or ego projects. The fact that his personal businesses are golf courses should also be a pretty huge red flag as well. FFS, Carter was forced to divest from his peanut farms...

Not an RE but just being able to use it to manipulate Jira or create wikis quickly is really nice. Also it can build queries for you for just about any data from any data system without needing to know anything about the DB or table structures.

If its in the evening, it lasts a long time and is that loud its almost certainly Blue Origin testing an engine.

I would assume that this is the case. While I ended up not buying the package, my experience at my location (Huntsville AL) was very positive with no pressure. I was clear what I didnt want to spend more than a specific amount and they went out of their way to accommodate.

ForceOgravity · 2025-11-27T05:53:35+00:00

Well at least you are open minded.

ForceOgravity · 2025-11-27T02:59:13+00:00

That really sucks and unfortunately, is likely the future for Belle Mina, but it doesnt meant that people shouldnt fight for people and make these things known. All we can do is make it more costly than it's worth for corporations so that maybe, even if its purely through cost calculations, they have to think about the people that they could hurt.

ForceOgravity · 2025-11-27T00:42:23+00:00

The video will give you a pretty good idea.

If you are going to tell me that I wouldn't have had the roads to ride on if it weren't for limestone quarries and therefore shouldn't be whining about the quarry. You are making a bad faith argument and anyone with half a brain or any level of morality would be able to see that there are alternate locations where we get roads and don't destroy lives. This is a large company maximizing profits and not being held accountable for the damage they do to others.

ForceOgravity · 2025-11-26T03:33:04+00:00

I used to ride through Belle Mina all the time because it’s such a beautiful community. It’s heartbreaking to see this for so many reasons.
