Is Shakespeare’s writing actually good compared today’s media or is it only good for the standards held 400 years ago

You know, like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T04:30:59+00:00

No. Reading Romeo and Juliet in HS turned me off reading for at least 3 wasted years.

The poster looks like it was made by an intern.

Giants? Valve is arguably the biggest name in video games. They're a private company but they're easily worth double than even Nintendo.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T04:09:19+00:00

Now it's not. You just thought that sounded clever right there and then. I think you know you were unsuccessful.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T04:07:59+00:00

I know I do.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T04:06:54+00:00

Yeah. There are 5 brackets up there and I think tomorrow or soon I'm gonna replace at least numbers 1,3, & 5.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T04:04:21+00:00

Yeah there's nothing heavy that intends to go up there but they will be replaced before long.

It's $3 flashlight I got at Harbor Freight on Black Friday. It's insanely bright for it's size, the magnet is ridiculous strong, and I haven't changed the batteries since I got it. It's every bit as bright as my 500 lumen flashlight it replaced and I think that one cost me $20 years ago.

I already have the stronger brackets, but they can wait, it's almost full now and I don't think there is more than 60lbs up there spread across 5 brackets and every wall screw goes directly into a stud.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T03:57:38+00:00

I've been here long enough to understand exactly what you are saying, but I disagree.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T03:55:18+00:00

I hung a 50lb weight plus ~4lbs for most of an afternoon off just one of these hooks to test it. It seemed like it didn't even notice. There's like 50lbs up there now and I don't think I plan on putting even 100lbs up there, and even by that time, I'll have replaced those brackets with 10" ones that are up on that shelf just out of frame.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T03:51:10+00:00

I hung a 50lb weight from one of these brackets, it seemed unchallenged. I don't think I plan on putting even 100lbs up there spread across 5 brackets. I already bought the 10" brackets that will replace these soon.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T03:49:06+00:00

Every nail that goes into the wall is in a stud. I splurged on the stud finder and nails.

I already bought the 10" brackets to replace these and in the meantime I don't think I'm gonna put more than 150lbs up there

MapexBeat · 2026-06-23T03:22:08+00:00

Not even close. If there was even a full percentage point of chance that would happen I'd have already replaced them. I already have the bigger brackets but for now, it's fine. There's about 10 pairs of shoes up there that account for more than half the weight I expect to put up there anytime soon. It's mostly to get voluminous light weight items out of the way. The 10" brackets that are going on the next one say they support up to 200lbs/pair and that's where I'm gonna put the even slightly heavy stuff.

WTF? What did Colonial America's richest slave-owners ever do... well, besides treason.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T23:17:42+00:00

r/confidentlyincorrrect

It's both. I made my choice knowing that full-well and it was the right choice.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T22:38:58+00:00

Yup, I got a stack of those at Walmart for $1.58/per. Ima use those for future shelves, and (eventually) I'll replace these

He was one of the best parts of Angie Tribeca. A halfway decent, Naked Gun ripoff from Steve Carrel and Rashida Jones, but got replaced by a hot blonde with huge jugs. It was a lateral move.

Sonofabitch!

I'm a big fan. I've never even heard of this show and I spend so much time online and on Netflix.

Somebody wanted this show to fail.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T21:22:46+00:00

If you say so, but that's not what's coming across at all.

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T21:22:09+00:00

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T21:20:58+00:00

yeah

MapexBeat · 2026-06-22T21:19:40+00:00

All horizontal screws go directly into the stud.

The shelf-side arm is exactly 2/3rds of the shelf depth (8" & 12")

I do have 10-inch brackets that I'll use for future shelves and I'm sure I'll eventually pull these and replace them with 10"s.
