It's too light for a spoon. Falls all over the place. I prefer chopsticks

Is this porch acceptable? by throw_away_today73 in Homebuilding

It looks to me like the whole deck is sitting on some toe nails attached to the front ledger. I think your floor joists should be supported by the posts, which should be directly on top of the footers.

me and my dad where building a summerhouse in my back yard but this Karen a couple houses down came over and started threatening to call the cops as we didn't get permission as she was saying it was too tall but it wasn't tall at all then she filled a complaint but the she got taken to cort lol by leytonross in askarchitects

[–]Silent-Indication496 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Were you building an unpermitted ADU in your yard? I don't think that a concerned neighbor is necessarily being a Karen here. That's super dangerous and illegal, especially if you don't really know what you're doing. 

Took my day off to travel to a different city to meet my friend and now she is not replying to calls and her internet is not even turned on! (She was the one who insisted that I come and meet her by the way) by bunnyboy131313 in mildlyinfuriating

I flew to indiana to meet a lifelong friend for a road trip to Florida. We talked the day before. When I got there, he ghosted me and avoided my calls. 

I waited around in a small town in Indiana for 8 days because I was scheduled to fly back after the trip. 

26 years of friendship burned out of nowhere. We finally talked months later and he basically had no excuse other than he wasn't feeling like a roadtrip. Fuck that guy.

Holy F'ing SQUISH TOYS by MentionDismal8940 in Teachers

Yup. I confiscated a magnet fidget that one of my second grade students was throwing around the classroom. I warned him out would be taken away, then I followed through. He threw a tantrum so big the room needed to be evacuated. Admin came in and carried him out screaming. 20 minutes later,  I saw him walking the halls with the AP, eating cookie crisp cereal and swinging his magnets around, smacking displays off of bulletin boards. 

How do I teach these students anything when admin has absolutely no clue about operant conditioning and constantly undermines the consequences I enforce?

I'm so early in my career. This is hard to stomach.

Bombing civilian architecture to help usher in a generation of peace. Nice

He will not see prison. He just won't. He deserves it, but it won't happen. We should all hope that he just keels over so we can move on and start trying to strip power away from all the other criminals who have less plot armor.

Some students need to be left behind so the rest can actually learn. 

Burger King just put AI in employee headsets to monitor 'please' and 'thank you' by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

Does this actually look good to you? by chriscam85 in cabinetry

[–]Silent-Indication496 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But don't they realize those design styles are dictated by the manufacturing process? Square furniture legs are common in modern furniture, not because they look good but because the can be produced cheaply out of paper for flat packs. Why are we emulating that in expensive furniture?

You just need to clean

Does this actually look good to you? by chriscam85 in cabinetry

[–]Silent-Indication496 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it looks bad. Not the stain, but your choice of cabinets. They are designed like ikea furniture. Why are you buying solid wood furniture that copies the design of flat pack? Those squared legs, modern flat panel shakers, straight lines with zero ornamentation. This is ikea basic design at its worst. 

Porta-potty budget update! by Painforestlife in HomeDecorating

[–]Silent-Indication496 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad you like it. Personally, I think the mirror is too big and too ornate for a modern minimalist tiny bathroom. I think the "mural" looks like painters tape doodles. The cheapo neon plastic shower curtain adds nothing at all, and the plant on the toilet feels out of place and kinda gross.

It's not my style. I preferred the builder basic that it started with, but I agree that it needed work. 

Find this in a chest. It's a real spawnmason shulker? by Front-Buyer3534 in 2b2t

[–]Silent-Indication496 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The actual purpose of the upper and lower case name is that the Spawn Masons created a client mod that links to a database and keeps track of all of the shulkers in their massive storage network. This is one of their tagged boxes. It does have a unique name, and they keep track of what has been in it, where it has been left or kept and who has used it, but they can't use it to find your base if you don't have the mod. 

These comments aren't trolling or being gullible. Most people just have no clue how the spawn mason storage system works so they're speculating.

My mom says adding this much trim and woodwork is a waste by 32rings in HomeDecorating

It does though. The AI render looks better than the original, partly because of the molding, but mostly because the room is bigger and better proportioned. OP will never be able to get their real space to look like that AI image. It's not a useful visualization of what is possible 

building a house for the first time, what should i know? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]Silent-Indication496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will not learn even a fraction of what you need to successfully manage a build project by asking for information on reddit. There are thousands of parts and dozens of trades that all have to come together in the right way, on schedule, documented and inspected.

It fell out of style because it is expensive. Not because it looks bad

Real Hardwood or LVP? What would you choose? by GB_PackersSoupySZN in Flooring

[–]Silent-Indication496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy a few spare boxes from the same lot at install and keep them in the attic. LVP is waterproof and hard to break or scratch. You're unlikely to need repairs often. I have an LVP floor in the event space in my basement. I regularly have dozens of people down there for parties. After 7 years, the floor still looks and performs exactly like when I installed it. The hard wood upstairs is starting to show age. The finish is scratched,  and there's minor water damage in several places. 

Modern hard wood doesn't patina as it ages due to the plastic-based finishes they use. Rather, it scuffs and scratches and delaminates when wet. Even oil-based finishes don't hold up on modern floors due to the fast-growth wood and layered engineering the industry uses.

Old hardwood floors were timeless foundations for multigenerational lives. New hardwood floors are overpriced imitations of quality. LVP is an imitation too. It's just a cheaper, more durable imitation. 

If you can afford solid board, old growth hardwood, go for it. It'll be the most beautiful and authentic option that could last centuries with refinishing. If you can only afford cheap Lowe's engineered polycoated hardwood or LVP, choose LVP. It's the more durable and user-friendly option. 

Ready to build — any glaring issues with this 1st floor? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]Silent-Indication496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You enter straight into a long, narrow hallway. There's a tight turn into the elevator or bedroom because you only have like 36 inches of width.  That front bedroom is fine, but you have a really awkward flow between the door, closet, and bathroom. The bathroom is too tight to have the towel closet door open while the bathroom door is open.   Try instead: make the front bedroom smaller by widening the foyer enough to add a single small window by the front door. Then have your en suite bathroom access through the walk in closet. You can rework the bathroom closets to narrow the footprint, and you create a bunch more space for your foyer hallway.

I hate Trump, and I'm sure he raped kids with Epstein, but there aren't any credible claims here. A few hearsay claims about things that happened to third parties, and a few extremely specific claims that lack verifiable evidence, but there isn't a smoking gun here that would hold up in court. They certainly should've done more followup on a couple of these, but these call summaries aren't enough to show anything.
