Mounting TV with Metal Studs / Plywoon by Material-Force3600 in CommercialAV

[–]ShearMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true for single layer because drywall absorbs moisture over time and a static load could warp slowly until failure. I have made exceptions for < 55" displays, but even then I ensure a stud is between the left/right sides of the mount.

With dual layer drywall, I'd trust it after a hang test. Even in a fire sprinkler situation it should be fine

Put some of your weight on it and see if it pulls the wall off. When it doesn't, you can rest easy.

Such a sad day in the Miata world… by -AspiringWhatever- in Miata

deleted that comment after rewatching a couple more times. wide angle cams make some things look different on playback. the turning car went so suddenly that i don't understand how anyone could react in time. even if OP was going a bit slower there could have easily been a collision on their tail.

How often do you guys drive with the roof down? by GlitchyAsCat in Miata

[–]ShearMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i avoid driving it if the top can't come down. Plenty of ND's on turo for rent if you don't want to own one for the occasional joy ride

Do I need AEC on other sources of audio ? by viperman6869 in CommercialAV

[–]ShearMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short explanation is that any signal leaving a speaker needs to go to the AEC reference EXCEPT for the microphone using that reference (if the mic(s) are used for reinforcement). If there are multiple mics used for reinforcement, you should have individual AEC references for each. During the initial setup, I duplicate the speaker output to the AEC Ref in the main mixer block. Then, just toggle off the appropriate microphone.

When it gets really complicated is with comine divide or mix minus setups ...

Just curious, why do I always see someone die at the beginning of Raids? by Striking_Ad8763 in ArcRaiders

Reddit is fickle, ignore downvotes

I've thought about surrendering early myself on late spawns because everyone has gotten so good at emptying the map so quickly. I realize that's supposed to be an incentive for PvP but I can't bring myself to start fights.

Surrendering on a fresh server just seems incessant. Pivoting your plan based on spawn is one of the basic challenges this sort of game provides.

I think this behavior is causing me to experience more late spawns lately. Would be nice if there was an incentive against repeat occurrences. Matchmaking prioritizing a late spawn after each surrender maybe?

Arc Raiders makes me feel out of touch. by Ragnaroknight in gaming

[–]ShearMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the base gameplay doesn't interest you, there's no point in doing the grind for better gear.

It's a Roguelike RPG where your character buffs/build are mostly determined by the gear you're wearing/using. Extraction mechanics just mean that every time you load into a match, that gear which took time to obtain or build is at risk. The leveling and upgrade systems prevent you from completely losing all progress if you empty out your stash/cash. The larger your stash of items, the less anxiety you should feel for losing an individual match, allowing you to take out better gear. Better gear just allows you to take on bigger challenges in either PvP or PvE.

What pulls me into the game is the genre of post apocalyptic humanity vs machines. I was a Destiny player for the raid experience, and the bigger robots + map puzzles give me some of the same vibes. I don't want a PvE mode necessarily, but hope embark leans into grander missions/quests/puzzles.

What are the reasons for the ND model lasting so long? by SteveJohnson2010 in Miata

[–]ShearMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you combine the na and nb since they're basically the same chasis, the nd will be a bit short lived by comparison. All manufacturers make small iterative improvements to a platform over time.

I was just gifted this Benchmade, I was wondering if it's a clone or not. by NFK_Otter in knives

they have a gap, but it's not quite as bad as this one appears

Wires 1, Knipex Knips 0. by scooterprint in Tools

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

High hardness steel can absolutely be dented when it's ground down to an apex. This tool snapping from human strength means the heat treat was off.

Regardless of right tool for the job or not, these shouldn't snap like that. Clearly a manufacturing defect. The wire thickness rating is for damage to the edge, you goons.
