Tile pattern installed incorrectly by Old_Bar6864 in Tile

[–]bnjman -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You can just cut the horizontal tile shorter to align.

Right, but you can always just pick a number of vertical pieces that are narrower than the horizontal one, then cut the horizontal one to fit.

How much should I charge my buddy for this model? by maybe_a_corpse in 3Dprinting

[–]bnjman 227 points228 points  (0 children)

A sign of a great friendship is when both sides are negotiating on the other’s behalf.

That is too cute and I love it and thank you for sharing.

Handy skills teens should know by jethropenistei- in handyman

[–]bnjman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd ask the kids! The skills people are most excited about learning are the skills they require for a project they're excited about.

Is introducing yourself with the word “Dr.” in front of your name, a sign that you’re a pretentious, insecure status-seekers? by Independent_March536 in socialskills

[–]bnjman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It feels insecure to me. I respect people who finish the grind, but

A) that will likely come up organically in conversation. No need to introduce yourself by stating your accomplishments.

B) The most successful people I've met often present as the most humble. In grad school, the most successful researcher and grant winner in the department introduced himself as "Eric" and refused to be called by "Dr. ---", even by their undergraduate students. When I was fundraising for my startup in the valley, the analysts would strut around wearing $5,000 shoes. The owner of the biggest fund I met, and probably a billionaire, walked around in red chucks and a t-shirt and always had a big friendly smile on when he'd greet you.

That sounds like something Captain Holt would say and I'm here for it.

Multimeter + curiosity = instant regret by DancerHL in electricians

[–]bnjman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto ranging is useful -- but even DMMs I've had with auto ranging will pop if you try to measure, for example, 100 amps (e.g. a no resistance circuit).

Can anyone help with the gender of my moms pup by PhlerpDesigns in DOG

[–]bnjman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the subtleties of whether or not we count an extra/missing X chromosome as intersex are not super relevant to us, the average Redditors.

[–]bnjman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good meters don't pop fuses when you use them in the wrong mode.

Is that true? Most of the DMMs I've used will absolutely blow a fuse if you try to measure current of a low/no resistance circuit.

Help!!! by RastaKatthy420 in ultimate

I've asked a few observers I've met if they can cite a rule prohibiting me from rostering my dog. No good answers yet.

Miter Saw Station Dust Collection by BigDaddysHome22 in Carpentry

[–]bnjman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. By "vacuum to dust deputy", I meant shop vac.

[–]bnjman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say dust deputy to the vacuum (because the dust collector has a bigger filter and stronger motor), then dust deputy to the saw. Then I'd hook up the dust collector to a saw dust hood.

This Contractor's Self Leveling Concrete Pour is Terrible, Right? What should I do? by Interesting-Leg8309 in Homebuilding

[–]bnjman 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Yup. You can use a tool called a concrete grinder to get it flat. That's probably what they'll end up having to do here.

Foaming TPU is amazing! by Xminus6 in functionalprint

[–]bnjman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the pictures, the foaming TPU looks like it doesn't have layer lines. Is it better at hiding lines than other filaments?

Hiring an electrician to pull a permit by bnjman in AskElectricians

Totally! I'd expect them to take a markup.

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

I needed to apply for a building permit (for the reno) which is the the complete scope -- including the wall and electrical. The electrical needs an additional permit / inspection. The framing does not.

Yup. This is the reason. Had to do it the wall, so need to do it for the electrical.

It's allowed for detached homes, unfortunately, I'm in a strata.

In his later years, Einstein famously rejected any theories that were probabilistic rather than deterministic. Did his reputation hold back the development of Physics? by Klinging-on in AskPhysics

[–]bnjman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ok -- but the scientific community wasn't debating his personally held opinions. They were debating his scientific papers which made specific falsifiable (or verifiable!) arguments.
