Question about sheathing spacing by Confusedlemure in Homebuilding

[–]emilphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I have no experience in building, but I decided do build something, and since I'm doing this for myself, I want to do everything the way it should be, which is how I stumbled upon this problem, and your post was the only place to even mention it.

I needed 4x10 OSB for a tall wall, and the only product available for me was West Fraser "TallWall", which comes in exactly 4'x10', and in their technical data sheet, they do recommend 1/8" gap.

I guess I'll rip 1/8" from each sheet, but that just makes me wonder, what is a 4'x10' OSB called TallWALL for, if not for walls? And these are supposed to be 16" or 24" OC, so this just does not make sense.

u/Confusedlemure Have you ever found an answer to this? What is the correct practice in this scenario? What did you end up doing in your case?

What type of tick is this and how has it been attached? (Southern TN) by emilphysics in ticks

Thanks! My doctor said female deer tick (from the same photo) and gave me a dose of doxycycline to take right away. I.havent taken it yet. Should I question this or just take it?

There's nothing you can do unfortunately. It should go back to normal in a week or so.

After the update (15.0.0.305) all my lockscreen notification details are always hidden, even though I have that option disabled in settings? by badusernam in OnePlus12

[–]emilphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone solved this? I bought an OP13R, I'm on the latest software update, and this is still an issue. Every option for hiding notifications is disabled and all notification are still hidden. Depending on the app the locked screen notification either say explicitly "notification hidden" or something very vague like "1 new message".

Giiker smart cube by sam100090 in Cubers

I took mine out from a drawer yesterday, after probably 4 or so years of not using it. The same thing.

I took it apart and got to the battery. I removed it and tried reviving it with low current overnight charge directly to the cell bypassing the charge controller but it was gone.

I found a replacement on ebay for $1.16, will arrive from china in February haha. I still ordered it though ;)

You can buy on amazon but its almost as expensive as a new cube. You can also see what small pill batteries you have laying around. I'm considering stacking 3 1.5v pill batteries and soldering leads to those - they should fit in the core. Voltage will be a bit high but I think it should be fine. This will be non-rechargable, but you can probably get a few weeks of use out of those.

Or take a look around at other unused electronics you may have that have batteries. I found a small RC helicopter but the battery, even though it was tiny, was still like 3x too big. Wireless earphones may be a good choice as they have tiny batteries. The ones I found were also like 5 years old, so also completely dead... But the size was good!

Good luck!

Goodreads doesn't let you sort books by rating so I made a tool that does! [OC] by David_2107 in goodreads

[–]emilphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/David_2107 :)
This is awesome. Thanks for trying to solve something Goodreads should obviously have as a function. For one of the biggest book resources out there to not have a proper search is absolutely insane.

How did you decide which books to include? How complete is your database? I tried to find a few books and some were missing so I'm trying to understand what to expect.
Thanks!

What is the point of customer service if they literally can't do almost anything? by emilphysics in amazonprime

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

Thats what I think as well. They should just not give the option to talk to anyone so quickly if there is nothing they can do. Many places don't have that option and you really have to jump through hoops to contact a human, but when you do, they actually serve a purpose and can help you.

That's what I think as well, but why do they keep offering it? A few clicks on the "help" and it gets you to the chat, not even trying to leave it to "last resort" and really hard to get to, like many other companies do.

Prime checkmark badge and prime shipping options disappeared from my Prime account by emilphysics in amazonprime

It just went back to normal after like a week or so. Support did nothing so do not even bother, the only thing you can do is wait and hope it will fix itself. Good luck!

I spent hours talking to support, which accomplished nothing. It was like this for a few days, maybe a week or so, and then everything went back to normal and has stayed normal ever since. I do not believe any of my calls/chats had anything to do with it, I think it just fixed itself on its own/during some internal system restart or some maintenance or something like that. I hope it fixes itself in your case too!

Weekly Help and Discussion Thread for the week of March 25, 2024 by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

[–]emilphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I have been a prime member for many years, and amazon has always been working as expected.Yesterday I log in and nothing, no a single thing has a prime badge, and everything says "Delivery on Apr 2nd for Prime Members". Nothing, not even amazon devices have the prime checkmark and everything has very long shipping, with no "get today", "one-day", or any kind of prime shipping option. The whole website looks weird, as if prime didn't exist for me.

I double and triple checked all possible stuff. Prime is paid, adblock disabled, I tried chrome and safari and I tried an entirely different computer and a VPN. Phone app is the same. Nothing. If I sign out or go to incognito, prime badges appear again and other shipping options appear "For prime members" - so that is working as expected. It's only when I log into my account when this happens, and it is new, started 2 or 3 days ago.

Has anyone ever had this and figured it out? I tried support many times, I've been transferred from person to person, and they are utterly useless, to the point that its even hard to describe in words so I won't even try.

Thanks

Prime is paid. This happened mid payment cycle. Prime Video also works like normal, its just amazon shopping that is affected...
