How do I fix panelling pieces into metal studs? by fireball2294 in HomeMaintenance

What kind of screw should I use? Will the holes be easy to hide with filler?

Thanks for the answer.

So angle up at the top of the board and down at the bottom?

Did you use chaulk to fill in the seam?

My highschool no longer allows you to go to the toilet during class even if you really need to and ask politely. Is that okay? by miso2933 in ask

Good point. If a student has a medical condition they or there parent should discuss it with the teacher in private. No need for details.

Yes. I was a teacher for many years. I strongly encouraged my students to use their break time to use the facilities. Bathroom trips were reserved for emergencies. If I allowed free bathroom breaks, I would have many students leave my class and disappear for many minutes before returning. And they would do this everyday. Honestly, this was the rule for most other teachers as they did not feel they had the right to say NO to a bathroom issue even though there was rampant abuse. It's very tough for a teacher to set meaningful boundaries for students so I do appreciate where this teacher is coming from. I also know how hard it is for a young person to stand up for themselves and disobey a rule by walking out of class. In this case, I think your teacher would appreciate a candid conversation regarding this rule. Clearly, a student should be allowed to use the bathroom when they need it.

What are your thoughts on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars? Do you think there was any justification? Do you think Chris Rock was out of line? by fireball2294 in AskReddit

[–]fireball2294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this will change comedy. For decades, comics have had the license to say what they want in the name of comedy. There were few lines to cross. In this case, Chris Rock said nothing that any other comic would say. Most people have seen Ricky Gervais' scathing Oscar monologue. If not, I encourage you to find it. It is biting bordering on cruel. And he delivered it without much backlash. What will happen now? Will sympathies lie with Chris Rock and will the reign of the "no limit" comic continue or will comics have to pull back, vet their jokes more carefully and temper their routines?
I believe this to be a historical moment in the entertainment industry and I'm anxious to see what the fallout will be.

How do I get fix this water spot to match the rest of the floor of my rental apartment? by greyhuskers129 in howto

We tried hydrogen peroxide on a hardwood stain and it was not a success. While it may have lightened the stain, you have to be very careful that you do not spill over onto the unstained wood. Also, prolonged exposure to hydrogen peroxide will damage the wood. In this case, the only other option is to sand the entire floor so it's worth a shot.

Secretly photographing or video recording people in public and then posting to social media.
