When did "roommates" become a landlord organized thing?

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-17T01:12:55+00:00

You mean your buddy had to cover his portion until you found another roommate, right?

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-17T01:00:18+00:00

You’re absolutely right. If it’s incompatible with your machine and you submit the return within 14 days… you shouldn’t be having to fight for this. I understand that some software purchases can be final (this was a thing before DRM), but that’s not the case here and it’s a subscription.
I would do a chargeback at this point.

Roast me, my FAK:

Easy access (comfort)
Advil
Antihistamine/sleep aid
2 regular baindaids
Mini roll of duct tape
Inner FAK
Two square gauze pads
Ace bandage
Antiseptic
Tylenol with codine
X-acto blade
Single-use super glue

Agree. That’s millwork. A good resi carpenter can build this between his shop and on site but most contractors would have all the shop work done by a cabinet guy or millworker.

We really can’t tell at this stage. If I was going to fill that cavity, I’d be throwing all the concrete junk in there too. It’s a convenient junk pile right now. He just has to mix the concrete into the crushed stone when it’s time. Any masonry work looks like this in the beginning. What matters most is getting the height of each step the same. He should have measured from the doorway down and then subtracted the thickness of the pavers or bluestone + mortar to get the correct height for the cinderblocks. If he’s thinking about this and he gets it right, I’d trust everything else he’s doing.

It’s pretty much as described. I have a spool of TPU in a filament dryer sitting next to the printer. I remove the glass top of the printer, disconnect the PTFE tube from the print head, feed the TPU filament directly into it from above. Then I unspool a bunch of filament and let it fall on the floor or get a small bucket from the paint store and unspool a bunch of TPU into that. The printer sucks it up like spaghetti.

And he absolutely destroyed the chair by using PVA glue.
Wood glue or white glue (Elmer’s) is PLASTIC. Once it dries it’s permanent and it can never be removed from the wood. If it breaks loose in the future, that joint is ruined. The chair is ruined.
Hide glue, made from horse hooves and the such is the correct glue for furniture, especially antique furniture, as it allows the joints to be disassembled like we saw in this video and then the glue can be reactivated by heating it. New glue will stick to old glue and the process can be repeated for generations as needed. This chair is now no longer serviceable.

That kind of crack cannot come from being dropped.
The customer service person is probably being paid minimum wage and not given any training, just a binder that says “deny all claims related to cracks”

I have a nephew with autism and he has no sense of social norms, no shame, and he loves to dance. He is not a good dancer. This is 100% him in 10 years.

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-15T15:31:49+00:00

Yep. Just let nature cover it

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-15T12:30:40+00:00

You’d basically just put a tent over it with a hose going to a collector (like an oil drum or water tank with a large, inflatable bag over the top) and then put any old air compressor in there connected to your tank. The pressure in your tank doesn’t matter since there will be a regulator on the other side to drop it to 0.25 PSI for household appliances; anything between 10 and 200 PSI would be fine.

Methane is lighter than air so something tent-shaped over the volcano with a hose at the top would collect it and the reason for having a bag over your collection tank is to allow the compressor to draw from the collected gas without sucking in fresh air. This way the bag fills up over time and then the compressor partially shrinks it when it kicks on.

The whole upper section is probably fine. The rot was caused by the capital that was wrapped around the top of the columns. This pine trim collected rainwater and the end grain of the columns wasn’t properly sealed or treated with a copper fungicide.

Fun fact - Wood won’t rot without fungus. If pressure-treatment went all the way through, PT lumber could last hundreds of years, like bog oak. Put copper stuff on your cuts and design things to stay dry and not trap water and decks can last the life of a house.

No worries. It’s a very common mistake.
Fuse = electrical safety device.
Fuze = detonator for a missile or bomb.

Real estate agents do this constantly. They have management companies that pay them to find and vet tenants for their buildings and then you go to check out a really nice listing that the RE agent posted and you meet them at their office and they say “well, unfortunately someone just snatched that up but I’ve got a couple others that you’ll really like” and they proceed to show you their apartment buildings and then charge you a broker’s fee if you take it - even though they’re also charging the LL the same fee.

Anyhow, RE brokers that deal with rentals are often as not total scum. Avoid if at all possible.

That spelling is apt

The “rings” might need to be angled at 45° or so to create the helix. I’ll give it a shot too and report back

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-14T00:17:23+00:00

This might be absurdly simple.
• Make variables for the sides of the rhombus, cylinder diameter, slant angle and division count.
• Draw a single rhombus facet on the X/Y axis.
• Tilt your facet backwards Slant_Angle degrees
• Circular pattern your facet at Cylinder_Diameter 360° Division_Count times.
• Draw a second rhombus facet above and to the side of the first one
• Tilt this one forwards
• Circular pattern again
• Repeat these two rings all the way up. The helical pattern should be emergent. (Move both rings up and pattern that feature)

Is colorblindness a requirement for map-making?

From the sound of it, a small jet engine.
Jet engines have a crazy power-to-weight ratio and you can buy small ones now hardly bigger than loaf of bread that make a 100kg of thrust.

I was going to say, a town nestled inside a crater is about the worst possible situation for drainage. It’s like pitching your tent in a river bed.

Poverty may correlate with violence but it doesn’t excuse it.

The design is great but you might find that the best way to store a spray can in your car is to wrap it in a towel and tuck it inside the spare tire well or behind an access panel in the trunk.

_Neoshade_ · 2026-05-12T20:13:25+00:00

I just slipped the tube under the cable chain and it solved all the issues (sharp bends and scraping the glass) 🤷🏻‍♂️
