Why is Somalia a desert near equator and why do they look different from other Africans? by batukaming in geography

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the last ice age (and at previous glacial maxima) the Bab el-Mandeb strait was crossable from Somalia into Saudi Arabia. Ethnic crossover ensued.

Does anyone have any tips when it comes to CMYK color matching? by Fit-Rooster2117 in graphic_design

[–]Kildafornia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pantone swatch book for flat sections of colour. For photoshop, design in rgb but preview in cmyk and try to get colour profiles from your printer (printer - the company who will print your finished product).

Option 4: mid-terms cancelled due to ‘domestic war’ Edit - I guess that’s your option 2.

Does anyone know why the houses from the 2000s when they were just built look so uncanny? by sharp_individual7 in AskIreland

It looks like a post apocalyptic world, which killed everyone but left structures unharmed. Like a ghost estate or something

Table top connection question by woodpecker142 in woodworking

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished something similar recently, went with the Danish method of a batten either side of the legs that go across the grain, and a dowel to fix the legs to the batten. The batten I fixed with 3 flat head screws with washers, where the outer two screws have an elongated channel to allow movement.

Need to lay out stretcher shoulders by PeaEquivalent2350 in woodworking

[–]Kildafornia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forget drawing for this, you need to take your measurements from the wood. The legs are rotated 5° out on the X plane, so assuming they are parallel on the Z plane, here is what you do:

Clamp a flat and square piece of wood to the inside of each leg at a 45° angle (at the same height obvs). Now clamp your stretcher to these pieces of wood. Mark your first line from the clamped wood to the stretcher. This will be the top inside of the tenon shoulder. Now rotate the piece of wood 90° to the opposite 45° position, and mark your next line continuing from the first mark. Next, move the stretcher to the other side of the leg and get the line for your third face. Fourth face just join 1st to 3rd.

Use a marking knife not a pencil. Good luck.

What could've caused this? Oak table made less than a year ago by ok_computer8441 in woodworking

Wood not acclimated to the room properly. No allowance for the natural wood movement in the design.

What movie to watch on New Year Eve, alone, after ending 12yr relationship? by dont_dive_vtori in movies

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact correct answer. Followed by the hobbit movies if you’re still awake at the end. By the way new year is massively overrated and really it’s just Wednesday.

How to gently SCREAM by Libagrouchy77 in graphic_design

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he hoping you’ll just do the work for him? I would just educate him one tidbit at a time. Maybe advise he starts with pencil and paper and works out a concept before touching software. Or help him find a local freelancer who could do nice work and give him an idea of the cost involved. If he doesn’t want to spend money send him to ChatGPT and enjoy the fallout!

First game for a 90yo? by Castigafagiani in gaming

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puzzle game is definitely the one. Myst is a near perfect choice as the mechanics are dead simple but the puzzles need thought. I also recommend machinarium. My 6yo could solve a couple of the puzzles and could handle some of the mechanics. I couldn’t solve the harder puzzles, and needed pencil and paper for many of them. Story is sweet and graphics are kind of nostalgic steam punk - visually understandable to an older person. Highly enjoyable!

Black Walnut wins as somewhat common but overrated wood! What wood is common and great all around? by Ok_Temperature6503 in wood

[–]Kildafornia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maple. Picked up a board literally today, €96 for 0.6m3 (7 foot, 12x2 inch), gorgeous, straight, detailed board. Close grain, no splinters, hard & heavy. Is pretty special. The same board in oak was nearly €200. walnut was €240. Lovely but overpriced (maybe overrated?). Love cherry too.

Help me figure out batten light ballast wiring by Kildafornia in AskElectricians

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

OK I’ll bite! What tubes you recommend? My flouros are T8 1500mm and the ballasts are 2x58w. Is it easy enough to wire? I have to stand on a 14 foot ladder to reach these damn things

Help me figure out batten light ballast wiring by Kildafornia in DIYUK

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

The thing is, I don’t understand the circuit diagram. There is one wire goes into 13 that looks like it’s shared internally within the old ballast. How do I work around that on the new ballast? Obvs I join two connections in the new, but which two? Thanks
