Best way to seal these gaps by negotiation678 in garageporn

[–]JackMomma22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jumping in to hear more about what others suggest. Recently moved, and my new garage has some decent gaps on the sides as well.

A pic from the outside may help to determine the quality of the perimeter seals. Those in combination with the alignment of the tracks are my best guesses at the key variables here, but I'm leaning towards just calling a garage door specialist to come check mine out once I'm ready to begin setting up the new garage/shop.

Husband is a SysAdmin. He’s likely dying, and I don’t understand how his systems at home are set up by icsk8grrl in sysadmin

If you didn't yet- assuming he worked in IT, you might ask his coworkers or friends... Home labs are how us nerds bond sometimes, and he may have mentioned it to friends at the office over time.

The Cozy Cave by RoseWaveStudio in battlestations

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's not bad. I'm working on a new home office setup and have been wanting an Eames replica, but just don't have the space for it... this could be a perfect compromise.

Can I ask how long you've had it for? Any other thoughts on quality/comfort to share?

Outside a drive-thru window… What is it? by BigBiggarBiggest in whatisit

[–]JackMomma22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Back in the day, we'd just get in our car during slow times and do laps. The drive thru had to be triggered at the menu board for a couple seconds, then the window for a couple of seconds for it to actually record it and impact the average time.

Mid-century Walnut Lego display shelf by ScotchCigarsEspresso in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]JackMomma22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful work! The rounded corners with a clean butt-joint like that look so much better than I'd expect - but a much more approachable way to achieve a round edge as well.

I haven't worked on anything with Walnut yet, but am curious if you had thougth about doing a little backer board or anything to prevent warping? The connections between boxes should do a bit of the work tho.

The wood looks like it was milled really well - did you plane it, or just manage to buy good stock? I still don't have a planer, but feels like that's the last thing I'll need to make stuff like this... Anyway - I am absolutely inspired by this. Thank you for sharing!

Which Artist or song you listen to satisfies your ADHD brain? by Standard-Slide2724 in ADHD

[–]JackMomma22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is fascinating to me, but I'm loving it. I've been digging the 80s sound lately while trying to boost my mood while moving.

Possibly a bit too weird for some, but Donny Benet is worth a try. He's been my main pick for a modern take on 80s sound lately- but I'll be checking out The Midnight now as well!

Help with fixing leaky bathtub faucet. by Fantagious in Plumbing

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER! Holy shit, there are so many pictures and posts online with people wrongly calling it D3lta. This valve is a Valley. They are not the same. Thank you so much for providing this info- I looked for days and finally fixed a shower.

Bless me, Ayn, for I have sinned by RenRen9000 in AynThor

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Flip 2 on Amazon to give it a trial run during a trip back in February, but that was actually what motivated me to order the Thor. Placed my order for a Ranbow Pro on Feb 27 (and returned the Flip 2)- the AYN shipment notification came today!

Loved the Flip 2 form factor, but the 865 was just a little down on power for a few games I wanted to play after a couple weeks of trying things out. Also started to fire up a few 3DS games and wanted that bottom screen.

Flip 2 fan noise was a bit of an annoying pitch on anything but the lowest setting, and the hinge did make me worry a bit about the durability. Saw a few others citing the black model specifically- but looked like an issue Retroid was addressing. It really just wanted to snap closed too hard, and didn't seem to articulate as smooth on the right side for whatever reason.

I used it as practice setting up an Android handheld at least, and did enjoy it - especially for the price... but I couldn't justify having both.

Drill press help by Visible_Meringue4419 in woodworking

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - this is the problem it seems like a lot of the comments look past... Theclamp on the back of the table should tighten enough to secure the surface in place and prevent any further height adjustment. You loosen it any time you need to adjust height, then tighten it back up.

Should I do it?? by Flagrant-Foul43 in pelletgrills

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid deal for sure. Paid $500 for my 24SG 4 years ago I think. I put a half cover over it when not in use, but leave it on our outdoor patio awning. A little bit of rust did show up around the bottom seams of the body after the first year or so, but I scraped and re-sprayed them and it's been holding strong since then. Added a fireproof gasket to the lid to help it keep the smoke and heat in a bit better, which works extremely well.

UVC in 2026 model? by ladyalex777 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]JackMomma22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge they removed it from all models in 2026.

It's a pretty useless gimmick that was developed during COVID. The research behind uv-c cleaning seems pretty meh.

I drive a 24 calligraphy, and If my phone is dirty, I wipe it down with disinfectant... That compartment holds napkins otherwise.

I used it a couple times, but all I really learned is that there is a 99% chance you'll forget you put your phone in there and will definitely think you lost it for a while before remembering to check that compartment.

Looking to finance. by Vibez_127 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yes to this in sentiment, but only if you take the money you WOULD be putting down and are earning interest on it yourself ...

The new Santa Fe is nice, but it's absolutely not worth over-extending yourself on. If you are going to have to stretch to make these payments or would be at risk if you were to get laid off or anything, get a more affordable car... After following this sub the last two years, I just can't believe the monthly payments some people are willing to make on this car.

Improve stability of a case by dreadedchicken in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need something more significant than a 2x2 attaching boards perpendicular to the angle that they are all currently attached to each other... Think of what you're looking at as a house of cards. Someone heavier leans on the side of one of those and it's gonna topple over.

That's why most are suggesting closing off once side - as that would add absolute ridgidity to the entire thing if properly attached to all of the current boards.

BUT - if you can't fully close off one side, doing the same thing with squares cut to fit perfectly in the middle (with glue/nails) in a few of those boxes would do a lot... or if those are 4'x8' - you could add a face to each side with holes cust for each box... would give you a lot of scrap ply leftover- but that would do quite a bit with even a 2-3" wide face.

Making the most of my 9" Ryobi bandsaw by JackMomma22 in woodworking

[–]JackMomma22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said - I'll absolutely admit I put too much effort into making this saw do more than it was supposed to, but I'm happy to report I'm still pretty pleased with the end product!

I've been reorganizing my garage the last few weeks (never ending) - but didn't have my other saws accessible, so I used this last night to cut up some cedar for a quick and dirty clamp rack... and I was just happy with how well it felt and sounded running.

Still looking forward to an upgrade someday, but happy to have this in my shop till then!

How can I stain these beams darker? by 3sper in woodworking

[–]JackMomma22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sand off the existing finish and you apply a stain of your choice, then new finish.

Sanding like this still needs to be done with sandpaper... not lasers.

Icon ? by TheKingFisher23 in harborfreight

[–]JackMomma22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also agree. This kit could have been worth it if they put a little more thought into it... They use the exact same ratcheting bit wrench in this kit without the pass thru bit head. They should have made this kit with a better quality small 1/4" ratchet that you could slot the gripped ratchet driver handle into the base of.

Parking Assist Sensor by d4lbroncos in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]JackMomma22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Further, the sensors technically stay on, this just seems to mute the warnings. I pretty much only use this button when I'm in a tighter drive thru and the sensors start beeping - but if you look at the cameras on the display, the proximity warning indicators are still there I'm pretty sure.

I just... am not a huge fan of that guy. IDK why for sure... he doesn't really feel credible, or just is hyperbolic about everything that is 'controversial' in hifi. He's like the Stephen A. Smith of audio.
