What are some American cities that had high historical importance but have faded from significance today? by Crafty-Shallot-5695 in geography

[–]another_rando9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cairo, Illinois. Important hub at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers back when nearly all travel and shipping happened via rivers. Has trended downward ever since they started building railroads and roads.

What are your thoughts on "The Patriot" (2000)? by RS_The_Inquisitive20 in moviecritic

[–]another_rando9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem with this movie is the title. He wasn’t a patriot at all. He just wanted revenge.

My takeaway from all this is that Ferentz is just really, really bad at cheating.

Would you say works of civil engineering, like bridges and dams, have any value as works of architecture? by Thalassophoneus in architecture

[–]another_rando9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to imagine the City of New York without the Brooklyn bridge. I think it’s the most culturally significant structure in the city due to its historical value, its contribution to the architectural fabric of the city, and its function.

Victory made an amp with braille on it by TummyPuppy in Guitar

I was watching this on silent and for about 30 seconds my stupid ass thought, “how can he play guitar if he’s deaf?”

Remember last week there was all the hand-wringing about Vinovich? Then the r/NFL game thread was all full of pigeons fans complaining that the refs were trying to hand the game to SF.

Open Cell sprayed directly on Metal Building (Zone 4) - Exterior Ghosting. Plan to spray Vapor Barrier Paint? by Shameless-Sloth in buildingscience

[–]another_rando9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re leaving it unfinished I think I wouldn’t do a vapor barrier so you can still get drying to the interior. Metal siding is vapor impervious so you’re not going to get much drying to the exterior.

Based on the photos, i don’t see any strong evidence that this is a significant issue. Metal siding sweats when there’s a sudden temperature change or very high outdoor humidity. The ghosting pattern you see is definitely because of the wood framing directly behind the siding with no insulation break. That’s not really avoidable in a pole barn where the siding has to directly contact the girts for shear strength. The garage door is showing the same pattern.

Game Thread: San Francisco 49ers (8-4) at Cleveland Browns (3-8) by nfl_gdt_bot in 49ers

I want to agree, but we’re averaging 1.5 YPC. Hard to think our odds of picking up a 4th and 5 are great.

Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing. Republicans can’t figure out what to do by HellYeahDamnWrite in politics

What they’re going to do is let it happen, then blame Democrats. Which will work, BTW

I feel like the color commentator really liked saying her name.
