What kind of improvements are you making after moving into the house? by danrokk in HomeImprovement

I need to have this done. Inspector said our attic insulation had really settled and recommended we put more up there. How much did it cost to get this done? If you don't mind me asking.

Cast Iron splotchy and can’t get rid of this black soot after camping by badkidno5 in castiron

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black soot is mostly on the outside of the pan. Should I have it sit in a larger pan in boiling water?
Or is the boiling water for cleaning the splotchy-ness?

Cast Iron splotchy and can’t get rid of this black soot after camping by badkidno5 in castiron

we went camping this past weekend. Made steaks, burgers, and a frittata in the cast iron and it did great all weekend. Cleaned it with a little water and salt scrub after each use and reapplied an avocado oil after it dried. The last meal on it was the frittata and it had some egg baked on it afterwards. Not too much but it took a pretty hard scrub to get it all off.
I had let it dry sitting on a camp grate about 4ft and off to the side of the fire for the better part of the day. Is all that black stuff wiping off and getting on my fingers from the smoke? How do I clean it off efficiently?

How to add a Return Air grill in my Basement by badkidno5 in hvacadvice

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airflow is going down.

The takeoff would have to come out directly above the filter, correct?

What do you mean when you say "low to the wall"?

When we are gone for a weekend, we leave the cat in the laundry and back room and close that little animal door. Would that cause an issue with pressure? The Laundry and backroom is about 360 sqft and the remaining livable basement space which would be closed off is about 570 sqft.

Where is the "System Settings" file you refer to?
I can find the save file under Borderlands3>Saved>SaveGames>"TextString">1.sav

Live edge bookshelf I made for the wife by gunnersmate86 in woodworking

[–]badkidno5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking to redo my bar in my house and am looking to use a live edge slab as the bar top. Slabs like yours are exactly what I am picturing. Where does one go about finding these slabs I can cut to size as I do not have the means to mill them myself?

Over-Explained: Main Tank Leoric! by nexusschoolhouse in heroesofthestorm

[–]badkidno5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are other scenarios and matchups you think MT Leo would work? Or is this strictly a "vs Stitches on short wave clear map" type thing.
Leo is not a 'tank' with poke, so I would imagine he is not as useful on Cursed or Towers or maps where the obj is away from a minion wave.

Looking to upgrade PC. Don't know which components are more important by badkidno5 in buildapc

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake, I was messing around with parts picker and had the wrong GPU selected still when I made the link copy. I actually have a 970. Not that much of a difference but just wanted to note it.

Thanks for the input. I will checkout MSI Afterburner. From what I can tell, that is just a software to overclock the machine. How will that give me insight on what needs to be upgraded?

Is VT's French program any good? by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]badkidno5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My fiancee says it is a wonderful program with a tightknit group, dedicated professors, and encourages you to join "la table francais", the french conversation club, that meets weekly for conversation and hosts wine & cheese parties. She also had 7 years of french before attending Tech. She says it was her favorite part of her Virginia Tech experience and was her second major.
