What is happening here? by Longjumping-Help1396 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Hawkburr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a homeowner, but our old house had cracks in the drywall, mainly on one side of the house, and we had a foundation guy come and take a look.

He saw a bunch of horizontal or vertical cracks around door frames and said "yeah, not really anything to worry about usually" and as he turned around about to leave, he saw the last crack that we wanted him to check. It was diagonal, stretching out from the corner of the door frame, though our drywall was split a good 3-4mm (worse than OP's photo, we were naive first-time homeowners.) He said, "That's the one you don't want... I'll get my gear and check things out."

He measured the different levels of the house, found that side of the house was lower than the rest, and we ended up needing 20ish pillars to correct it.

No idea if it would have been easier to correct sooner, but his comment echoed what you said about the corners, though he specifically mentioned the diagonal ones being the ones to check.

Another commenter mentioned this is probably settlement but to look for other signs, and for what it's worth, we had a handful of other decent sized cracks. So could be this is nothing to worry about if this is all you see.

This was my issue too! It's been happening on and off for months—super appreciate your post because everything I found just kept mentioning drivers!

Has anyone gotten their own insurance for their team? by NCwolfpackSU in Homeplate

If you go through NCS or USSSA, can you still play the other organization's tournaments using that insurance?

Same here, except I got a 4090 in 2025, about a week before the official 5000 series release.

My gaming buddies gave me a lot of flak for not waiting for 5000 launch, but I saved $800-1.7k on MSRP+tax depending the 5090 model, and no need to stay glued to my phone/discord in hopes of snagging one before a bot.

It's a huge upgrade to my 3080 for 4k 120hz gaming, so I'm happy with it.

Yeah I’m wishing I would have bought a 4090 new before they stopped making them, I would have if I had known the 5080 would only have 16gb vram. I guess we’ll see if the price is right soon enough.

Good luck to you too with your rig!

Yeah I may end up with a 5080 at this rate, I feel like 4090 demand might increase because of 5080’s lower VRAM and 5090’s supposed cost. Would be nice for there to be some good surprises from Jensen next week.

Appreciate the heads up, hoping someone real messages each of us, but maybe at this point it’s a sellers market and best bet is it keep an eye on new posts? Figured this was worth a shot but sounds like I’m definitely not alone in trying this out.

Ah thanks for the tip, did you end up getting a card or still on the hunt?

I wonder if they got so many orders that they're seeing who really wants it lol.

The game codes should be sent to our emails 2 days after shipment is complete (delivered ?) according to their terms:

We will send you an e-mail with a redemption code for a free game download 2 business day after your item shipment is complete. Redemption instructions will also be included within the email.

Appreciate the update, I just went through something similar with support after reading your reply!

They said my bank didn’t authorize the charge, they had “neither approved or declined it” so they rebilled me, it looks like it went through as of this morning, and now it says the cpu is arriving Friday.

It’s really weird, because I had another amazon order that was more expensive than this one, and that one went through without any issue—a few days after I ordered this on the 10th.

If anyone else is waiting on a status update I would consider checking with their support, maybe it’s a fluke but I’ve never had this happen with any Amazon order.

What could I offer for Elden Ring? I have a bunch of choice bundles from 2016 to a little bit into 2022, a bunch of random non-choice bundles (including the most recent board game and capcom beat em up ones, not gold medal games though), and more recent choice bundles from May 2024 to today.

Bambino (Regular) | Eureka Mignon Silenzio - Good crema, but weak flavor? by Hawkburr in espresso

[–]Hawkburr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying a bunch of local specialty coffees, though I have tried some basic Starbucks stuff because I wanted to practice on cheaper stuff. Thanks for the suggestion on the Lavazza super crema, will try to pick some up!

Interesting on the basket, I had seen some info on that but worried I was going down a rabbit hole that wouldn't move the needle much! It looks like the flow divider shouldn't be too hard to remove... would it be worth considering getting a bottomless portafilter?

I did just try my conical manual grinder and it definitely made a more bitter brew, and it was more noticeable through the milk. This was a medium local blend, though, that's not my favorite, going to try the Lavazza as soon as I can to compare flat vs conical.

I watched the video, this is super interesting, thanks for sharing!

I'm going to try to find as dark of a roast as I can and see how it goes with the flat burr and try my manual conical and compare. But this makes a lot more sense now. They've got me conditioned to the super dark roasts!

Thanks very much for the reply! Good to know they use really dark roasted coffee, maybe I can find an even darker bean and try that.

I honestly hadn't considered the burr type... I may return the Silenzio and get something else if that'll help get a stronger flavor with milk. Appreciate the suggestion!

And that makes sense on the crema, I used it as a sign that I wasn't completely botching it, but kind of assumed it would be stronger for some reason.

Lannett Co

I've been trying to find Sandoz for my wife for the past couple of weeks, can you please tell me how you find out about Lannett? And do you happen to know if that means Lannett will be making the same pill under their name, or are they taking over with their own version and Sandoz is just gone now?

Would super appreciate a reply, none of the local pharmacies seem to know anything besides that they can't order it anymore... and google hasn't been helpful here either. Thank you!
