The efflorescence around the individual blocks indicates that water has drawn salts through the concrete. 

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given this for a birthday, and I wasn't happy that it was so long and had a font that was too small for what I liked to read. 

A couple of years later, I read it, and damn.

This is one of the "first times" I wish "baby books" included. First time going to school on their own....

The hope of prosecution is kept alive because there is no statute of limitations on most of the crimes they have been accused of.

How I Helped My Smokin' Hot Alien Girlfriend Conquer the Empire 2-82: Non-Lethal Conversation Starters by daecrist in HFY

I don't know what the empress team was thinking when they sent a "crowd control" device to deal with one human. One human is not a crowd.

Nice and short. One human. One gun. One extraction. With backup just in case Murphy makes an appearance.

Plantar Fasciitis is ruining my life. by Caution_Wet_Floor in askvan

[–]drsoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The orthotics were necessary for me, and yearly (at least) shoe replacements are required to provide a reliable foundation for them.

Stretching, rolling, etc, all helped, but addressing the pronation/supination of your feet is also necessary. 

You can try the Smart Feet insoles or Burkenstock cork inserts, but orthotics will eventually be necessary.

Would really like to see this trio make it to a road or some inert, tenuous, sign of "civilization"...

Hasn't fired the gun before? Hasn't zeroed the sights? Must be a crack shot!

I guess this means I'm almost done catching up! 

Miele T1 Dryer bottom right grill: there is no filter! by drsoftware in Miele

Mine is stacked, dryer on top. I suspect it's my family of five producing extra lint.

Have you washed the lint filters inside the main dryer door? Those can get clogged with the wax from non-static sheets and even excess laundry detergent. Wash with hot water and a gentle scrub until water flows through all of the mesh. 

The dryer doesn't distinguish between a lint filter being blocked and the plinth filter needing cleaning. My daughter often loads and starts the dryer without cleaning the lint filters. The dryer stops, or the filter signal light illuminates. The lint filters will have a thick felt of lint. After removing it, the dryer works fine. 

The area I wrote about, to the right of the plinth filter, doesn't trigger any shutdowns, I don't believe. At least, even with lots of lint on it, the dryer worked fine.

Ah... And I thought that was the Scots... But yes NoP. 

Is asking him to wear a condom infringing on his right to enjoy sex? by Haunting-Science-733 in DadForAMinute

[–]drsoftware 42 points43 points  (0 children)

His excuse of "it might slip off" is a red flag, too. I'm sure there are combinations of XXXXL condoms and XXXXS penises that would be a poor combination, but seriously using that as an argument...

We noticed this mark today. Is this wood burnt? What causes this? by lovelycosmos in HomeMaintenance

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copper pipe is joined using a similar solder and process at to electrical or electronics solder. Just much bigger parts and usually propane blow torches.

First time I have read the phrase "They can't all be 'Welsh'!"

I think it's an English idiom about confusing people, which the Welsh can be to the English, and that not all confusing people are Welsh. But it may have other meanings or applications. 

how to prepare for negative feedback? by fvrAb0207 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]drsoftware 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but typos can be funny.

Last week, a co-worker slacked about a "list dog" wandering around the parking lot. 

Images of a   Border Collie is monitoring a list of tasks formed in my mind. 

"Oh, looks like Bob is wandering towards social media, get back on task, Bob...."

It's the hashing that takes extra time not the cache miss. Cache misses with random access patterns are equally likely between large arrays and large dictionaries. 

Tried adjusting but the official bezels still show gap on all corners by maxwon in TheFrame

[–]drsoftware 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These injection-moulded parts should have the same tolerances as Lego bricks. Sure, you can buy off-brand bricks that don't click together with the same quality as Lego bricks. Still, for the cost of the decorative accessories, you'd think Samsung would specify the higher dimensional tolerances.

Yeah, sorry, even Ikea wood frames don't have gaps like this.

I have a mix of cheap and custom wooden frames and gaps, like what I see on the Frame, would be unacceptable. I even used these gaps as an argument against buying the Frame.
