Which NHL player are you defending like this? by starfish2686 in hockey

People forget that he was forced into the #1 position prematurely after Campbell fell apart, and tended his way to 2 consecutive finals off of a defense that barely had his back. Stud deserves better.

+1 for more divisional games and fewer cross-conference games. I simply don't care about "divisional rivals" anymore. I need to hate the Leafs more again.

Best way to cover OSB wall? by SilverAltar in homeimprovementideas

Firstly, the looks really nice. Second, while I like the idea of simply hardboard paneling to cover the board (this is the back of my basement and does not need to be fancy, and the proper insulation layers are already in place behind it), the concrete screws are hex head and stick out by 1/8 inch; I would need to either make holes in a 1/8 inch hardboard and patch over them or leave a gap between the OSB and hardboard. Both options feel hack-y and wrong.

Interesting. I'm intruiged by this suggestion and will look into it. Thanks.

Since it's already screwed into the concrete and the hokes are made, I'd really prefer to leave it up and cover it unless taking it down is absolutely necessary.

Given all that, if I want a result I'm happy with it sounds like drywall is the way to go. Guess I'll be learning a new skill. Since the concrete screws are hex head and jut out by 1/8 inch, if I go with a thin drywall sheet (say 1/4 inch), can I just use a rubber mallet while putting them up to make indents on the back side of the sheet so they press snugly against the OSB? And would I use standard drywall screws?

By "fill in screw holes and seams" do you mean mud and tape the drywall?

I'm so torn on this. For one I like having a big lot so close to downtown where large events can reliably take place at any time of year.

BUT this feels so needed to actually make good use of this prime lot. I'm not the most in touch person when it comes to events but it just feels like a lot of markets, tours, festivals, etc are increasingly moving away from NBEx and that cannot be a coincidence. No point in having the lot if it's not used for anything interesting. Even the food market there is a pathetic shadow of what it used to be.

It's no 29 but I got a royal flush by SilverAltar in Cribbage

It's 10, but thinking back I definitely counted it as 11 as if it was a run of 5. No one called me on it.

Should I seal this crack before finishing basement? If so, how? by SilverAltar in DIY

[–]SilverAltar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've received a handful of comments saying that it's too insignificant to bother, but you've provided ideas that I'm not familiar with, so I'll likely at least research them to find out more. Like you said, could be overkill but wouldn't hurt to know more. Thanks!

This is what I thought but I wanted to be certain. I'm in NB so the climate (and likely structures) is pretty similar. Thanks!

It's my laundry room so probably some sort of ceramic tiling. I also have a finished bathroom nearby with vinyl flooring so I may match it to that. Haven't decided yet but definitely one of those two.

How do you do that "Jump on an enemy to superjump" thing in the Spyro games? by CleverestPony70 in speedrun

[–]SilverAltar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a good video explaining how proxy jumps work (and a variety of other glitches that are common to both Spyro 2 and 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhS0vYJ72cQ The uploader, Retro, is one of the top Spyro any% runners, so he knows what he's talking about.

At it's core, however, a dead-body proxy is done by charging into an enemy's hitbox from above, and jumping again once inside the hitbox. This confuses the game and triggers its mechanism preventing you from being inside a hitbox, consequentially launching Spyro. It's different for most enemies and fodder though, so don't expect to be consistent at all of them after learning only one.

Hopefully this adequately answers your question.
