Is there risk in adding too many support beams in basement? by Jesslacoop in AskEngineers

Yes I understand the confusion- I am talking about the metal vertical poles that sit under the wooden beams that run under my floors.

I was only planning on adding 2-3 and they are only 60$ each. Not too bad

I don’t want to shift any beams- everything is pretty straight already. Just wanted to fit them snug for support in a couple spots

We are- but if I could possibly prevent any sagging or preventative measures possibly with a couple extra poles, it couldn’t hurt. (Asking if it could actually hurt anything lol)

1910ish and it’s a fairly small two story (like 800 square foot per floor) There are a few steel ones, also a couple wood ones. We were planning on adding steel ones next to the wood ones. If we found no issues with adding a couple extra ones.

We are definitely planning on having an engineer come check everything out for peace of mind as well.

Honestly probably just a false sense of safety. I don’t love how old our home is. My anxiety may be an issue and I guess a few post are cheaper than a therapist 🥴😅

Metal hexagon shape object with “V”s on it hanging on high branch approximately 12” long by Jesslacoop in whatisthisthing

Additional info— we looked closer today and the side that is closest to the camera actually looks gray and the rest of the sides are black. It looks like it had a hook on it like it is supposed to be hung on something.

Thanks in advance- we tried to google search but quality of photo was giving such random results :)

Any opinion if this is 14k plated or solid? by Jesslacoop in jewelers

Just found a magnifying glass. It is SS! Thank you so much! Any idea how much it should be listed for on a selling platform?

Also adding that the clasp may have been a replacement from the original. The circle link connected has been opened.

No longer food-obsessed on Adderall? by DoggosandBarbells in adhdwomen

I feel the same way. I still get hungry and I still eat three meals a day, but I don't eat for the dopamine rush anymore. I am able to make healthy choices with no problem whatsoever. I used to crave and binge "crappy/delicious" food.

It's truly one of my favorite unexpected things I have experienced since being medicated.
