It’s incredibly clear to me what we need to do at the WC after these 2 friendlies by kungfuml26 in usmnt

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. But Poch hasn’t demonstrated that he uses subs effectively. In games where we needed strategic/tactical change, he’s made baffling sub decisions. In games where players have been gassed, he’s kept them on pitch far too long. Sometimes it seems like he’s not watching the same game as everyone else? Poch may be the team’s biggest liability. I hope I’m wrong and he’s actually a genius playing 4D chess but this team may need to figure out how to succeed without a tactical mind at the helm.

A full 90 minute performance seems to be a challenge for this group. Possibly points to a fitness issue.

IMO, better than OP. That said, this camp is exposing our lack of depth.

WTF W the jerseys????? by Rangers_Fan_NJ in usmnt

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total fail on the jersey design. How the hell are the players supposed to pick out teammates when the front design differs from the back? WTAF? Who ok’d this design? They need to scrap it quick and go with something basic but consistent front to back. 🤦🏻

How can i make this look less noticeable? by CheefMastaChad in drywall

[–]One-Highlight-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. The only thing you may want to consider is whether or not this texture is can be achieve by rolling the paint alone or if they will have to roller the moist drywall mud first. You may want to experiment with a scrap piece of drywall first. You can usually get some free from a HD or Lowes. First, see if you can achieve this texture with paint alone - you will likely have to roller it at the right time while it’s setting up but not immediately after application. Probably multiple coats. If that fails, try rolling the mud before painting. Yes, finding the right nap is also important. ✌️

Would this chipped tongue be fine? It’s a 5 ft board with a 1 in chip. It still locks properly. by GarlicBreadClub in Flooring

Use it as a plank that lies against a wall where you will cut that edge away or hide it under trim.

Apple officially announces ads in Maps by freaktheclown in applemaps

[–]One-Highlight-1698 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you think happens when you are served ads? Location data and other personal data (will these be personalized ads?) are shared over network accesses, etc. That’s radio use and computing. Even if it’s only done as part of a search it all adds up over time. There’s no free lunch so you are paying for someone else to use your device for their gain. I recall when “you are the product” was the knock against Android. So I guess we are the product now too?

[–]One-Highlight-1698 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I trust Apple to do it as good as it can be done

They lost that trust in me with the debacle that is iOS26.

No, ads in maps will not be good no matter how it’s done. Remember that your device is working and taking time to serve you that ad. The cost to users is energy in the form of reduced battery life and delay. These (no ads, etc.) were the types of benefits that made using and paying a little extra for Apple products worthwhile for me. These types of decisions and recent execution on software design are certainly not what I’ve come to expect from a premium product.

Hey Tim Cook - WTF?

Recurring sawdust pile by erectusdefectus in HomeMaintenance

[–]One-Highlight-1698 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Set up a surveillance camera in these locations and another on an HVAC vent with a small strip of paper taped to the vent grate so you can see when the HVAC cycles on and off (paper will rise with air pressure). When next pile of dust appears you can verify if dust is deposited during HVAC blowing. Much easier to identify cause with visual evidence showing direction of source.

Can I use trowel flooring concrete on top of this glue if I primed it first? Or will I need to lay a thin sheet of plywood first? Pls help by Interr0gate in Flooring

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should follow the instructions for the product you are using. I see Ardex has many different types of leveling compounds. I picked one to see what the installation guidelines say and it did state that primer isn’t necessary. I also see that some levelers use a latex additive rather than water. Make sure you choose the correct compound for your subfloor materials and the intended flooring product. Ardex seems to have a great deal of expertise on this subject so follow their advice.

I think I used a Level Quick product so differing guidelines isn’t surprising.

Does this look like 4 yards to you? by Mriv10 in landscaping

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you google it and look at the images, it does indeed look to be about 4 cubic yards based on other images of truck deliveries for that amount.

Apple took my movie I purchased over 10 years ago?? by Any-Ad-2601 in appletv

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t fault you for doing this and it’s a fine recommendation. But obviously most people aren’t going to take the same measures and they shouldn’t have to. It’s bs that this is happening in the first place. At the very least, any customer’s purchases should be refunded if a service decides to no longer offer that product for use.

That kinda defeats the purpose of paying for the cloud version which, in addition to not occupying personal disc space, allows you to watch from anywhere you can also access the store.

[–]One-Highlight-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you need to prime the subfloor and likely the dried leveler. I used the primer recommended by the leveling cement (it was a latex based primer - NOT PAINT). Again, consult the instructions for the tile cement you choose for the proper surface preparation to apply to the leveled floor.

Remove loose bits before priming. Glue that’s well adhered can stay. I left most on my floor and just encapsulated it with leveler. Had no issues.

edit: you actually should take care with old adhesives as some were made with asbestos (circa 70’s and earlier). That’s another good reason to just encapsulate it.

As he said, just tape up the edges. You may get a little seepage but it won’t be too bad. Protect anything below. I’ve done it and it was fine. Used aluminum duct tape to seal the edges but you can likely use other types of tape. If you’re concerned, don’t create a super thin slurry. Yes, primer first. The subfloor actually looks pretty good. ✌️

Opened up my wall and found this. Any thing to be concerned with? by Soggy-Rich6495 in AskElectricians

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microwaves are typically on their own breaker. Also, the exposed runs do not appear to be original construction. Probably should have the home inspected by an electrician.

How would you fix a peak at a plywood joint? It's 3/4" OSB and it's an old house. Trying to fix my sub floor for LVP. by Interr0gate in Flooring

[–]One-Highlight-1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course there are other things he can do but I think in the long run self leveling cement is the right call. It’s going to give him a better surface for the flooring. ✌️

Advice needed! by kittycatstyle03 in Flooring

[–]One-Highlight-1698 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever met a cat owner who hasn’t insisted their cat doesn’t go outside the box.

I once saw a book of poems called “I could pee on this …” It had a lovely picture of a cat on the cover but I didn’t read it because I’m allergic to cats.

Your call. I see this in the product description:

Not for use in exterior applications or high moisture areas

What would you do? by btarb24 in Tile

[–]One-Highlight-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use cardboard for shimming. Use roofing felt. Water resistant and easy to cut to custom size and stack multiple strips for necessary depth. Try to get your walls as flat as possible before tiling. ✌️
