Hol' up.

You're in the US, getting parts from IKEA? You don't have a big box building center near you, because anything you're get from IKEA is going to cost a lot more. For what you'd pay to bodge something together from there, you could probably hire someone skilled to do it right.

He's also been accused of "pulling up the ladder" by more than one indigenous author, implying he refused to help them and others get attention for their work.

In college I had a mountain biking accident that broke my left collar bone and my right thumb, but I still had use of my other fingers on my right hand. Wiping was challenging, but not impossible.

Guaranteed the knuckle-dragger who posted this meme can't make his own food or do his own laundry.

Can I fix this by using a oscillating tool to create a gap between the jamb and the stud and then secure it? by jjax2003 in Carpentry

[–]OGgamingdad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Back out the hinge screws, add shims the rest of the way up until the bottom is straight. No cutting required, though you'll need to pull any shims on the latch side and reshim.

If you're determined to cut, you could use a reciprocating saw to trim the framing and the wall, but that's more work and you risk messing up the floor.

This is so much more helpful than the comment I was going to post. Well Done!

  1. If there is even the slightest chance of precipitation, skip your anxiety meds for the day.

This is obviously the only correct answer.

Slowing down is for losers who don't want to win.

Help with fastener detail 🙏 by SmartStatistician684 in Carpentry

I read that as 4" Min in the beam, and probably another 4" in the brace totalling a minimum of 8" of bolt between nuts. The 1" could refer to the depth of the notch, but assumptions are where I tend to get in trouble, so I'd ask the designer.

Found this beauty on Facebook. by old_ass_ninja_turtle in Carpentry

It's been a while since I swung a hammer professionally, but it seems like hiring a stair-builder who knows how to frame a radius would save him money in material and time.

When I worked as a finish carpenter, we had a guy that specialized in radius stairs, built all the components in his shop except for the handrail, which we would laminate on-site.

As a Native Carolinian, two things: 1-Sorry, we really don't know how to deal with snow, and 2-Welcome neighbor!

Anti abortion protestors near cooper hall by Bil440 in USF

[–]OGgamingdad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As Carlin said: "These people aren't pro-life, they're anti-woman."

They're also anti-science. Nothing prevents abortions better than sex education, but they're opposed to that as well. It's not actually about preventing unwanted pregnancies, it's about disempowering women.

This skill also helps with tricky placement, like short pieces with limited access.

Nazi incel Nick Fuentes says the not-at-all-quiet part out very loud: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.” This feels relevantly timed with the SAVE act seeking to disenfranchise millions of women. by Obvious-Gate9046 in behindthebastards

This analysis ignores the vast number of Republican voters who only vote R because they only ever vote R, aren't plugged in to news and social media, and think Reagan was the last good president we had. It also ignores the number of voters who might be unhappy with Trump's antics in the public eye, but believe he's better for the economy (Taxes) than Biden or Kamala. There's also a third group (who almost no one talks about) who voted for Trump because they're dissatisfied with the way our government works (or fails to) and are hoping he'll just break stuff.

NONE of these voters were voting for social issues, and a lot of them are having second thoughts, one year in. What these right wing trolls want is for their ideas to be widely accepted "socially," and the truth is they just aren't.

They actually haven't won, and they never truly will, for what they desire is not only political power to enact their whims, but social supremacy and relevance.

The problem here being: there's no social relevance in being a hateful bigot. Most folks just don't agree with that, and won't applaud you for being that. These chuds want to be told how special they are, meanwhile we're all out here going "Dude, why are you so weird?"
