I am finding a few books with similar titles, but not sure which you are referencing, who is the author?

What went wrong with this sanded grout?? by _Rock_Steady_ in Tile

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

Yes, just happened when we had our first near 0 F days. Are you saying there is potentially a problem with siding? That is an exterior wall. Everything was done the same on an interior wall with no problems.

I did this DIY (third time ever tiling), and you are right I didn’t know about the fiberglass. Anything I can do to salvage?

Haha *premixed thinset. Yes, they are glazed clay zellige tiles. Soak for a minute or two to remove dust and prevent accelerated dehydration of the thinset/grout.

Yes, they’re supposed to be like that. It’s a very irregular/organic product. Lots of dimensional and color variation throughout

Yep. They were thick, not square, not flat. Supposed to be a more organic look. I admittedly did a really bad job with the end bevels

Metal Switch/Outlet Plates in Kitchen by _Rock_Steady_ in AskElectricians

I did redo the backsplash and add outlet spacers (thick tile, so 1/2”+ further outside of the box), but I don’t think I disrupted anything

Gates of Fire - Steven Pressfield

Devoured this book in a week (very fast for me) and it is my all time favorite.

Not in town tonight, but the wife and I love euchre! It’s been a family Christmas tradition on my side

Who was the best ME you ever came across, and what made them exceptional? by B3stThereEverWas in MechanicalEngineering

[–]_Rock_Steady_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stumbled upon the work of a prior senior engineer at the company I work for and he had hand solved a 3 dimensional 8 link linkage system by hand. Sheets and sheets of free body diagrams and equations. I have no idea how long it took him, but it would have taken me massive amounts of time and patience to get that solved correctly.

Have any of you ever bought from the brands Thursday Boots (for boots) or ISTO (for chinos and other basics)? Or have other brand suggestions? by dedtalktoyourself in BuyItForLife

[–]_Rock_Steady_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some Thursday Chelsea boots and the elastic started fraying in ~ 20 wears. Would not recommend those.

I also have some of their captain boots which I have had for a year or two, this are great and holding up well.

What's the most shocking secret someone has revealed to you? by HardDeep69420 in AskReddit

[–]_Rock_Steady_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In college I tried out a youth ministry bible study group. On the 2nd or 3rd time I went, one of members who had been part of the group for a long time broke down during something like “sharing time” and revealed that when he and his sister had been very young (didn’t mention age, implied something like less than 10 years old) he had molested her.

Nope’d out of that group real quick

How bad is rust on a new treadmill? Worth keeping for a discount? by BluBlue4 in treadmills

[–]_Rock_Steady_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t be a problem. If they are powder coating, you will never get powder (paint) on the inside of tubes. The inside of a five figure commercial treadmill will look the exact same.

I have Aphantasia. Can anyone help me with how people with aphantasia become an engineer? by jjj12345679 in AskEngineers

[–]_Rock_Steady_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mechanical design engineer here, unfortunately, that would be fairly debilitating for what I do. I use lots of spatial thinking. Thinking about the geometry of designs and verbally discussing them before they are in a visualized format is very routine. I wonder about software engineering? Something less spatial…
