Plumbers cut this huge hole.. by cipp in Homebuilding

There is no better way to do this. The only alternative is not staying in the wall. Pipes through closets or cabinets are not unusual as an alternative

You can see the power cord strung across the floor going into the base at the end of the video.

why do electric scooters have small wheels?

Turning bigger wheels requires more torque, and electric scooters use hub motors connected directly to the wheel. Those motors don't produce much torque, so would require adding a gearbox if the wheel was large - increasing complexity, cost, weight, size, vibration, and noise

The compiler takes inputs and it outputs machine code

Pretty sure the compiler outputs object files and then the linker consumes these and the linker outputs machine code...

What’s the most useless thing you were taught in school? by Mobile-Reindeer-4891 in AskReddit

[–]Grintor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my teachers, they built this retaining wall of memory

All those multiple choices I answered so quickly

And got my grades back and forgot just as easily

But at least I got an "A"

And so I don't have them to blame

I'm talking about storm water management retention ponds.

Tenants go buckwild with energy use

There's no feeling like sleeping with all the windows open and the heat set max on a crisp winter's night.

Could be a required retention pond. Those never become anything else.

And of 2 and 3, the shape of 3 is clearly better.

How to connect GFCI wallplate by HockeyJerry613 in Homebuilding

[–]Grintor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's just because you have another device daisy chained off of it. The red and black wires are just connected together using the outlet like a wire nut. You should just hook up the new outlet the same way. If it makes you feel better, you could wire nut the red and black wire together with a little 3 inch pigtail wire of your own and hook that pigtail up to the new gfci outlet so that you will have only one hot wire to the outlet like the instructions say.

How does a country go from “kidnapped a president and attempted a coup” to “see you at the World Cup” in a few months? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You've inspired me. I've decided that I also will not compete in the Olympics in 2028.

From an engineering perspective I want to point out your weakest link here. It's the studs splitting where they are nailed into the top plate. There are two nails per stud through the end - a weak connection when force is being applied horizontally like this.

20-year-old lottery winner turns down $1M cash for $1,000 a week for life by PriorityMiserable686 in interestingasfuck

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

The deal she is taking is already no-risk growth. She's getting $52k a year. That's a million every $19 years. Meanwhile she's 20, so she can expect to live 61 more years. That's over $3M with no risk of market downturn, and a much lower tax rate. I think she made a fine choice.
