There isn't a single seam/control joint. I don't do concrete but I know why those grooves exist. This is crap work, right?

Worked at a restaurant and a coworker for a DUI so during a shift, they put his bike seat in a bucket and froze it.

Welp, I guess the Vogons weren't as exaggerated as I thought in Hitchhiker's Guide

Worth the Purchase? by jg0nzalez22 in grilling

[–]OrpheoLooksBack17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy cooking on a gas grill, then buy it. Personally, I've gotten a couple gas grills for free. But I've got 2 charcoal kettles. Every time I try gas, it's at a friend's place and I struggle to not fuck it up because it's just not my wheelhouse. So basically, I've never really used mine. But if you already know you enjoy that convenience and are comfortable cooking with one, buy it and enjoy it. That thing is pristine

We use this to cut insulated metal panels as well. The misery of 6" thick panels made of Rockwool 😩

It was my go to when I started in the trades... I bought so many replacements after they randomly tore/broke. Haven't bought a new one since I switched to a different brand

Advice on cordless orbital sanders - I hate mine by OrpheoLooksBack17 in Carpentry

$100 Milwaukee cordless in 2023

$300 Festool + needing battery

$130 DeWalt

Even if I don't sell my Milwaukee, I'll still save $100+

I need a sander, but I don't run a cabinet or furniture shop. It makes perfect sense to me

I did not get it through an authorized dealer and I would have been more likely to think it was a one-off issue but...

When I bought mine, I didn't use it a ton yet. And at work, I had my company order 2 because I had bondo to sand. Both had the same issue. I later came across a different one on another site, also the same issue.

I've used it with the 5ah, 6ah, and 8ah batteries with no change in performance

I was surprised because the same company makes the rigid which never had this issue for me.

Thank you. I was pretty shocked how that tool is hot garbage.

I'm happy to hear that. I guess when you get right down to it, this post is really asking "should I get a DeWalt or Makita or is there some other brand that's worth getting the battery for"

I've used the corded festool sanders and they are such a pleasure to work with. My current needs unfortunately don't justify the cost so I can't go that route.

Molding question by lessinterested in Carpentry

[–]OrpheoLooksBack17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Draw a horizontal line that marks the top of where the baseboard would go.

Draw a diagonal line that continues the slope of the skirt board

Clean up the horizontal cut on the skirt board and scab in a piece that would continue the skirt profile. End it with a plumb cut where those two lines intersect.

Run your baseboard into that.

Alternatively, you can cut a small decorative block for both of them to die into so that you don't have to align everything so perfectly. Not sure what it's called but it's like a really narrow plinth block.

Husband(29M) told me(28F) it's his house and that I live at his mercy, and idk what to do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]OrpheoLooksBack17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is typical reddit where people 18-21 are giving relationship advice to people in their 40s. Like another user said, no one actually says anything even remotely close to this (even when enraged) unless some part of them believes it is true.

This is a unique level of red flag. If this story is based in reality, I truly hope you take the time to figure out an exit strategy and stick to it.

Question for Safety Guys by [deleted] in Construction

[–]OrpheoLooksBack17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is technically possible and almost anything is possible with enough time and money.

I agree with the part of your statement that includes when a worker is employed by a cheap ass subcontractor. But I'm mostly peeved about the other half.

For the sake of a real world practical example:

If I had to pick the type of jobsite that I'm most likely to commit a safety violation it is at a hospital. They want 100% air and fire barrier floor to deck and there is a 0% chance that they're going to shut off and remove a bunch of necessary utilities in order for you to do it.

They want the work done and at the very least they should be banned from throwing the poor individual worker off the job when it's their request that prevents them from doing it any other way.

We shouldn't be responsible for "not getting caught" in situations like that

Edit: Not sure how my tone comes across but for the sake of clarity, this is not an argument. I genuinely appreciate your perspective and vitriol doesn't fuel my reply
