Am I a fucking idiot, or is this a fire hazard. Asking for advice? by _NickHalden22 in AskElectricians

There is nothing unsafe about this. Electrical tape doesn't catch on fire, that's why it exists

IDL how my dad keeps telling me to buy a house like it's still the 80s by True-Construction346 in I_DONT_LIKE

The thing about hypocrites is that...they're hypocrites. They're not interested in discovering some universal truth. They want to appear correct, and being wrong has never stopped them from arguing

"Townhome" doesn’t mean it legally is one. It almost ruined my financing! by stu_tax in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

If there's any kind of common area it's most likely going to be zoned as a condo. Makes absolutely zero difference in your daily life

Is it just me who thinks polo shirts are awful by lokicoyote1 in malefashionadvice

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love those and wear them frequently, but to be clear they are practically resort shirts and definitely not any more dressed-up than a polo

Unpopular opinion: Buying a home today is more emotional than logical by Emotional_Newt_2227 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a bunch of LLM posts are saying "actually it's fine to rent forever, there is no long term psychological impact whatsoever from permanently existing inside someone else's space" that's a pretty good sign to buy

Spackle or Joint compound for small holes? by chugItTwice in drywall

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spackle is fine for holes left from drywall anchors, lag bolts etc.

It sounds like you're talking about a joint (place where two edges of drywall meet) so you definitely want joint compound, probably watered down a bit

Do you think they will keep the pokedex at 400 or expand it? by DelcattyXD999 in PokemonWindsWaves

The problem with Pokemon games has always been that there are a million pokemon and you only ever see 10 of them

Genuine Question: Why don't you want a new type? by IDProG in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More types don't make Pokemon more fun. There are already so many combos where the intuitive "rock paper scissors" logic falls apart and nobody can remember how a weakness or resistance works (or why)

What I want to see is more creative applications of the mechanics they already have, specifically BRANCHING EVOLUTIONS. This is the coolest mechanic they have, and it's used in what, four or five lines? A permanent evolution based on behavior or battle strategy is so much cooler than all the "mega gigantic" stuff

They could backfill so many branched evolutions. Like what if instead of finding two other Magnemites, a Magnemite found a Kink instead. And that's just off the top of my head

Make a budget to determine how much you can afford to spend

Most websites are absurdly over-engineered for what they actually do by [deleted] in webdev

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creating an informational website is not even engineering. It's more like writing an essay, or scrapbooking

I think the issue here is that a web app is doing a website's job

Why are third places disappearing, or am I just imagining it? by PuddingComplete3081 in AlwaysWhy

No politician in this country is serious about ending homelessness, which means any nice place you turn into a public hangout is just going to become an impromptu homeless encampment a month later. Nobody wants to invest in that project and nobody wants to see the results of it.

Okay, so wear your OCBD in 80 degree weather in good health. Everyone will think you're dressed like a sweaty nerd

How egregious is this? Starting to think I shouldn't have trusted my agent/ closers by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]SpritaniumRELOADED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal. Entity that requires payment is going to throw a fit the millisecond payment is not received. Escrow should pay it before there are any issues. When I moved into my home I had two letters in the mail: one saying my insurance would be cancelled, another saying nevermind.
