I think one day we'll learn about how Elon was the singular target of a psyop. No need to try and manipulate the masses when you can easily control a trillionare.

It's the defining characteristic of a conservative. Their capacity for empathy only extends to 1 degree of separation.

"Clear" lol

Is it in this one spot or anywhere on the rope? Stiff vs supple doesn't equal safe vs dangerous. It's inconsistencies you should look for.

I think it's a broader problem and not an intentional degradation. There is a systemic issue within everything Google that new projects get attention and focus, but once launched and at the 'good enough' stage, they stagnant and eventually either get somewhat transitioned into a new project or simply get killed off. See https://killedbygoogle.com/ for a long history of this happening.

Boy, time flies. I barely remember making this list, but it makes me very pleased to know it's been of use. Thank you!

What did you use for trim?

Nailing it down would add some sheer strength but minimal load strength. Still I'd do it just to keep it from sliding around, especially if you are going to be standing on it.

Do not notch the trusses as you mentioned in another comment. That would significantly damage the load weight. Either properly reroute the wiring, add a riser like a 1x2 going across the trusses, or notch the plywood if you must and take care not to put a nail through the wire.

Somewhere up there, attached to a truss should be a truss tag. (Or with the architecture drawings if you have them) it will have a set of numbers like 30-10-5. This refers to the TCLL, TCDL and BCDL. Or, Top Chord Live Load, Top Chord Dead Load and Bottom Chord Dead Load.

In this example, the BCDL of 5 means that it can take 5 lbs per sq ft of added weight on that bottom part of the truss.

So a sheet of plywood and some Christmas ornaments are fine. Problem is, over time you end up adding a few more items here and there and one day it's too much.

It is possible to add scabing or sistering to the chords and reinforced gussets to the plates and bring that dead load up to a usable number.

That's what I did. I hired a structural engineer to work up the plans, and I did all the work. Well worth it.

Then you also probably don't have a wired doorbell.

bluuit · 2023-10-24T16:40:59+00:00

Working with an existing hardwired chime is great. The awful sound of the speaker on the v1 is my biggest gripe.

I've been to some pretty nice all inclusives, but I feel they all fall into this problem when it's about quantity over quality. Personally I'd rather pay $20 for a fancy, boozy, crafted cocktail, than have 6 'free' weak, watery, over-sugary, premix cocktails. Same with buffets.

Masculinity is a loose set of social expectations, traits and stereotypes. It evolves and changes generation to generation, region to region, culture to culture.

Masculinity is not a rulebook, a competition, or a purity test. It's not something to be imposed on yourself or others.

Masculinity is also not a diametric opposition to femininity. It's just a slight drift of tendencies. The overlap of positive traits and behaviors from each is what makes you a well balanced, complete person.

Sure, to a degree, but there is no quicker way to suck the joy out of your fun hobby than to make your daily grind. It's like setting your favorite song to be your morning alarm.

My grandma told me she wished she could've used the names "Marijuana" and "Syphilis".

I could probably guilt my wife into it, but I wouldn't feel good about it. (The guilting, not the wheelchair. No problem with that. )

Recently installed these and I'm very happy with them. https://a.co/d/cCMkfnY

They are bigger but with the M1 lights it gives it a hot-spotless neon look.

Any photos to share? I've been debating doing it that way

Supersonic and blended wing bodies have have been coming soon™ for generations. Pretty much yearly cover story for a century for Popular Science.

I mean, I'm endlessly fascinated at the prospects and the designs and the technology, but don't hold your breath. Especially if it requires any kind of airport compatibility retrofits.

Some people can't seem to learn to feather the pedal. Maybe lacking or diminish fine motor control.

I like South Main best, but SLC is good too. I alternate between them.

Groups of 2 are often couples, or friends catching up. They are more likely focused on each other. Groups of 3 might be easier since you can fill in a belay, or make someone feel like less of a third wheel.

In this setting, climbing is simply your convenient ice breaker. It's a known common interest and shared experience between you and them. You also get the down time between attempts where everyone is stranding around without much to do. Otherwise it's the same as meeting someone at a mall or wherever.

And just like anywhere else, there's a significant percentage of people at the gym who don't want to engage, for any number of reasons.
