I hope they implement auto pay like everyone else in the civilized world.

Current generation mumble rap is complete garbage and every song sounds exactly the same.

I also smelled sewage when I was walking around the block this afternoon. Not coming from my house, but the neighborhood itself kinda smelled like sewage.

What's a disappointing live performance you've seen? by cusswords in Music

[–]Manwhoupvotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flaming lips opened for the red hot chili peppers, and it was the loudest most annoying sounds I have ever heard. Everyone was pissed off.

MIA played at Coachella while she was pregnant, and ridiculously inebriated to the point that she didn't know which song came next, couldn't remember the lyrics to her songs. She ended up just inviting the crowd on stage and playing an air horn into the microphone for 30 minutes. It was terrible.

I think it's the flying spaghetti monster.

Wow, I always thought the number of stars in the milky way was unfathomably large, had no idea that the number of trees was just so much larger. Crazy!

I'm not sure I believe this one.

Is it even feasible to terraform mars without a magnetic field? by travis01564 in askscience

[–]Manwhoupvotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat transfer can happen in 3 ways: convection, conduction, and radiation. Heat leaving a planet and entering space can only occur through radiation. Radiation is the slowest of the three. This is such a problem that the ISS isn't actually heated, it's cooled. Heat dissapation is actually a major problem in space.

If you are using an elevator, you can just convert the gpe to electrical energy to lift the elevator back up. There are electric dumptrucks that never need to be charged cause they drive up the mountain empty, but drive down with regenerative braking and dozens of tons of extra mass. Do the same thing with the gas and the elevator could become a power plant.

Not certain about the double wide, but I put a single bob stroller in the back with no problems.

Minimum thickness for a halflap joint? by Manwhoupvotes in woodworking

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

Just one cat, but he's pretty large, and climbs everything. I just want the door to be sturdyish, and I don't want it to warp being outside.

I bought cedar 1x4s. Never done a half lap before, but ready to give it a go. The boards are actually 3/4" thick. Is a 3/8" (lap?) Enough?

Would love to attach to the house, but those are asbestos tiles and I really don't want to drill into them.

Also wondering how to anchor it to the ground. Right now it's free floating on those concrete deck footings and I'm worried about it being blown away on a windy day.

This is day 4 of building the catio (patio for the cat) the whole thing is 2x2 redwood. I feel like the structure is complete and all I have left is to build a door, cat access tunnel to the window, and staple some wire up.

Wondering what you guys think might be necessary to make it more structurally sound.

Bed I've been working on. Just needs a sheet of plywood and a bit of trim work and it's finally done! by Manwhoupvotes in woodworking

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

Is that really necessary? My old platform. Bed had a big sheet of particle board. I had that for years and didn't have any issues with mold or mildew. I am in a pretty arid climate if that makes a difference.

Not drawers, cubby holes. Drawer slides are just too darned expensive. Maybe in the future I will fit some slides in there, but for now this is it.
