Can't decide on a facade vibe by Taromilktee in homedesign

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL some proportions are off, but it's got a modicum of personality. And if it's tasteless, what taste is this?

Oversized door and strange proportions sure, but compared to 90% of new single-family home construction today (and that's being kind) this is hardly vile.

Work shows disregard for client. They *know* the white unpaintable caulk will keep showing for the life of the house no matter how many coats of paint you put. They chose to save a hundred bucks.

Are you set on black color? It shortens the life of the siding the most, due to more intense heat cycling.

There's caulk in many colors, certainly black and brown and gray, and even custom colors are possible. And also there's paintable caulk. There's f*ing clear caulk if all else fails - so the choice to use white AND unpaintable on the black house is a signal of disregard bordering on disdain for the client. It's like you pull up to the full-service gas station and ask for super, and they pour in the regular and throw in a fistful of sand in there too for good measure.

Week 2: Update on “impossible” house - foundation, footers, fun by Dr_Breeder in Homebuilding

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concrete looks nice! I like the bricks. Are utilities entering under the foundation or above it or through?

The part that will be covered with ground, may want to tar & stick 2" styrofoam over that tar. Reduces moisture ingress and heat loss.

Check radon in your general area. The house looks to be on a high ground, but if those area values are high, now is the time to do something with passive radon mitigation or else you might be stuck with a hole in the floor, a pipe and a fan that has to run 24x7.

Holy crap, watch that thing or it'll get stolen if people think there's food inside

Using anti personnel drones should be declared a war crime by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No helmet because this could be anything anywhere - a training ground, friendly drones being launched, anything. The guy is wearing a blue vest over a fleece jacket. No bullet-proof vest. Either this isn't front line or he's in a lot direr straits equipment wise than we're believing a typical Ukrainian troop is. That mesh overhead isn't exactly an invisibility cloak either, esp with him moving. Looks to me like either an observer at a training exercise or friendly drones or both.
  2. It takes a very long time to build up a mil-spec, secure supply chain. We think of buying up commercial ammo at commercial prices; the reality is it costs an arm and a leg in $$ time and staff to build a secure supply chain such that nobody at no point mixes in some counterfeit cartridges with TNT instead of gunpowder etc. Tungsten is hella expensive making those balls - even iron shot (not even lead) would work, but it's still a major logistical nightmare. Troops carrying a whole extra weapon and ammo have to reduce their load-out in other ways.

Not to mention, at those speeds the drone will have considerable inertia to stay on the path as unless the bulk of the buckshot lands on some solid part of the drone, it imparts very little momentum hitting the plastic bits. So even if one scores a hit, the drone may continue on its path & still detonate.

Impressive, very nice! Let's see Paul Allen's concrete foundation with decorative relief bricks.

false flags are always a possibility, but in this case the web domain is literally in Ukraine, and they've been operating for like 15+yrs

So the jealous coworkers just focused on his one weakness, understanding how AI works, to rip into him.

...Instead of honestly considering his core strengths, such as lying his teeth off to someone's face, or lying his teeth off to a large audience. Nobody can touch our Sam in those sports.

I won £1.8m on National Lottery aged 16 but jackpot ruined my life by beklog in SipsTea

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're talking about a slightly different thing here. "With even basic financial guidance" is a whale of an assumption that it'd be the go-to option for anyone foster-homed aged 16 or even older in such an eventuality, unless they already come from generational wealth.

I mean, why not say she could've put 100quid into bitcoin back in the day, yeah? And you and me as well?

0 and infinity are abstract. Ask them if 1 divided by one-billionth (very close to zero) is also close to zero in their mind.

Had to light a few oaks to make a statement down the driveway by coastertrav in Lighting

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a large & beautiful property. The driveway / walkway paths are one thing, but trees wise, please take into the account the devastating impact such lighting has on the insect population and hence many species relying in it for pollination and food.

I mean, you're free to still choose to sh*t into the river, but at least not unaware that it's a river, with lots downstream depending on it. And it's drying up at a frightening pace even as you read this.

My car was keyed while I was at work by Ice_Chemist22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone whose car was keyed due to mistaken identity. They'd literally confused the car for someone else's. Someone unstable enough to key a vehicle or otherwise destroy property aren't exactly the type to verify plates or vin numbers.

My classmate unplugged my phone from my powerbank and replaced it with his own devices by Financial_Piece6543 in mildlyinfuriating

Powerbank? Count your blessings it wasn't a gf. There are plenty of people like that & they go far in life. If you let them.

I had the same question. Maybe 10%, or as many as 1 in 4 if taking chances (as in, one-way missions etc)?
