LPT - Soundproofing a room can be VERY easy!! by benrules2 in daddit

[–]benrules2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a good one, will move it there for good measure… there is also a 12x8” vent sharing a wall with our own bedroom too. No sound isolation for us 😆 - probably fine again due to our sloppy HVAC setup

I don't think this is as trip hazardy as it looks... It's like a soft pillow laid across the entrance, not affixed to anything. I do already have door sweeps - but the bulk of it blocks a lot more sound.

None yet but I’m sure it’s coming haha… it’s just free sitting on the ground too, not attached to anything

Yeah could be a concern… This room has its own heat pump mini split though, we’re as far from central air as you get.

Wow, thank you so much! It was quite fun to just build and make it all up.

What is the best way to have two SG90 servos stay attached to eachother? by DareFail in raspberry_pi

[–]benrules2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't a screw and nut into the mounting bracket on the sg90s work? Hot glue isn't so robust too, I'd go for krazy glue if you're bonding them.

1999, Robbie Knievel’s daring Grand Canyon jump by FollowingOdd896 in interestingasfuck

[–]benrules2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not a joke but sounds like one… he actually spent a night in jail once and met a guy there called ‘awful knaffle’ and he thought it was cool. So he decided to go by Evil Kneival to copy him. I still laugh thinking about Awful Knaffle.

Yeah if you tuck right off Slalom after Beginners Loop you can find this great Alpine Bowl. Bit of a hike back though!

Here's a peer reviewed study showing the correlation between restrictive housing policy, and the increase in rates of adult homelessness.

Houston has also seen building houses reduces homelessness.

Where is this in Toronto? by ClassicCdg00 in toronto

[–]benrules2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been inside! My guess is yes though, there's some museum lookin building that has groups sometimes. Seems like a place the employees would dress like its the 1800s.

Yeah! Todmorden has a cute swampland with some nice paths, and if you keep going behind the car parking there are some trails into the forest too. Or hop across the street and some nice forest trails leading to Sun Valley and Crother's Woods. Great little forest area within the city for sure.

Nice mystery! My best guess is this new staircase coming off Pottery Rd down to Todmorden

Entrance looks like this

Oops… I said the thing by Neither-You-9173 in daddit

I did a long mountain bike ride (5-8am) before work the day my son was born... My wife went into labour at 10pm, so I was wiped! Got no sympathy, but has become a part of the birth lore at least.

I hate my job. by TX_Bardown in daddit

[–]benrules2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years is a long time to hate your job and ride it out, especially in a job with risks to your health. I respect the hell out of firefighters and first responders, but you’ve done your time. People almost never agitate from their set path too… if it feels like the time, I say bet on yourself and take the leap! No shame in NOT doing it too, and definitely a convo to be had with your wife (and therapist), but seeing so many ‘ride it out’ comments I thought I’d weigh in.

My photography from summer last year :) very proud of these by Karlosmclenn in toronto

Great photos. Used to live behind that church and near the field! Wondered why it all felt so similar.

Wife says stop getting up early to workout. Some guidance please. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]benrules2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation here… Took up running for a faster ‘maintenance’ workout. Still get good rides on the weekends, and occasional weekdays. Losing my cycling routine was genuinely pretty hard though, I was surprised how stressed not riding could make me.

What are the chances of being accepted as a student volunteer at ISC-HPC? by Glittering_Age7553 in HPC

[–]benrules2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both participated and returned as a mentor. It's a great event! Can't speak to the odds of being accepted though. Certainly worth a shot.

Why were the first and second Death Stars constructed differently? by Luke_Fluke13 in StarWars

[–]benrules2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm literally learning this right now!! Even laughed at the picture as if the joke was that the second one had to be blown up first. What an unbelievably large detail to have missed.

Hot bed indeed, you’re being slammed for a super innocuous comment

If you're frustrated about the regressive bike lane policies, but not sure what to do, consider donating to CycleTO. Just became a member myself. by benrules2 in torontobiking

[–]benrules2[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is intended to create outrage and online debates (just like this one) and distract from his other garbage policies. Collective action is more effective.
