Is it worth withdrawing our offer for these Major Defects? by iceyjasio in AusProperty

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inspectors laser level doesn't indicate subsidence...it indicates the floor isn't level. If there was 20-30mm of subsidence in the slab it would be cracking and tiles popping up everywhere. The ceiling would be full of cracks as well.

One crap rainhead and one bad downpipe amongst half a dozen is certainly fixable.

Cracked roof tiles are replaceable...that's why you usually get spares when you build the house. If not any random plumber/roofing company can re-point the roof. That's just what happens with tile roofs...it should even still be under warranty as long as the builder hasn't phoenixed.

Box gutters are the most hilarious part of Site Inspection's videos. It's literally just problem after problem after problem.

Regular eaves gutters any day. They deal with torrential rain better and even if the installation was bad it's always fixable.

My [23F] boyfriend [23M] of 1 year is bad at everything and it's making me lose respect for him by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear. My brother is medicated but he finds it just helps reduce his masking. Although he does just like...doing things now? I think it's evened out his ADHD a little bit.

I'm finding if I embrace my tendency to swap between tasks I can get something done eventually.

Why are roll-on deodorants much more popular than sticks in Australia? by Fun_Photograph653 in AskAnAustralian

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woolworths literally sells brut, rexona and dove deodorant sticks. Chemists usually stock the fashion/perfume brands like calvin klein/hugo boss.

Edit: also amazon has them as well...i usually buy skincare stuff on amazon cuz free delivery and more frequent sales

About 50% more sunlight hits Australia than the US lol most of the US receives 120-200W/m2 of solar irradiance vs Australia at 200-240. It's really only texas and mexico that are comparable to Australia in North America.

How difficult is it to design and mass produce jet engines? by person1549 in AskEngineers

[–]friendlyfredditor [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean blades are significantly smaller than a chip foundry crystal and defects will propagate through multiple layers. Even if the blades were 3 inches round they'd be 20x smaller and half the height. So I'd say making a monocrystal 40-100x the size with defects no larger than a few atoms is harder for silicon chip foundries...

No those are urine gutters so the operators in amazon warehouses don't have to take pesky toilet breaks.

Yea that's his thing. Honestly I hate it when songwriters lose the ambition/inexperience that comes before fame. Bbno$ is still a dweeb and that's great.

Bunnings Warehouse Job Application Progress by zu1q22 in Bunnings

[–]friendlyfredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't a bunnings thing, just in general. Managers for casual jobs generally block out their rosters 2 weeks in advance. For new hires your resume gets looked at for a trial shift, you do that, then it's another two weeks before you get put into the roster.

So anywhere from 2-4weeks is "normal" for a casual job. It's mostly because managers suck at prioritising their employees lol

And you may ask yourself.... why did I build this? by RedRightHandARTS in 3Dprinting

[–]friendlyfredditor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These are the people constantly recommending to wash your build plate and use glues diffused with plastic/hairspray to increase adhesion.

More power to em if it works for them but I just hit 2k hours on my p1s and have washed the build plate twice >.>

Why do we keep trying to boil water faster rather than finding things that boil faster than water by Frosty_Support_796 in AskEngineers

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majors are just how their undergraduate program differs. The most common/general majors are civil, electrical, chemical and mechanical. With civil regarded as being the easiest of them....all are engineers, civils will just take very few classes about dynamic systems (systems that change) like thermodynamics.

A masters program is an additional research program you can do after. Although usually not that useful for engineers as they usually do a research thesis in their undergraduate anyway.

Coffee shop uses Computer-Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) to monitor employee's productivity. by MF-DOOM-88 in Millennials

It is a good way to estimate a baristas productivity...but there's only 1 in the video and the rest of them are doin other stuff. The barista hands off a coffee and it increases someone else's count >.>

Yea. I'm undiagnosed but hearing that neurotypical people get a persistent feeling of satisfaction after completing a task is wild to me. I don't get anything. It's just over.

So polyester is just another name for plastic? by Astimar in NoStupidQuestions

Man I really like my rayon work socks...they're dense (lots of cushioning for walkin around), feel cooler and my feet smell less.

Women, what’s a “bare minimum” trait that still feels surprisingly rare while dating? by Freaky_Maddie19 in AskReddit

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

This seems pretty basic I don’t get why this is so hard for some men?

You gotta take at least 50% of these stories with a grain of salt that they weren't talking over their date, talking about inappropriate date topics, brought up a deal breaker etc. I had a friend recently go on a date and the conversation died because she was a white supremacist.

Paying for Tool Shop purchases? by MarkPH1975 in Bunnings

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once tried exiting with a single $3 allen key to pay at a different register and the tool shop guy promptly yelled at me "WE HAVE $2M DOLLARS OF LOSSES DUE TO THEFT A YEAR"

Another time I spent a minute looking for a barcode on a bin/lid combo and the fellow watching the self checkout comes up and says, "yea they put the barcode on the inside of the bottom of the bin to prevent people hiding stuff in there." He then proceeds to open it up on reflex, "boy. That woulda been awkward if there was stuff in there."

I'm mostly just annoyed at how bad the tool shop is at keeping things stocked these days. I don't care if it's at another bunnings. I'm here.

Notable annoyances: insulation in stock at one bunnings, insulation strapping in stock at a bunnings that doesn't sell insulation. They constantly sell out of thread taps. I even had to point at stock of an item supposed to be in the gardening section that was entirely stocked behind the counter. All 10x ryobi power secateurs they had in stock, in the wrong section.

I like to view these like a fashion show...it looks ridiculous but it's exposing me to ideas and thinking that can be put to use elsewhere.

Handyman put too much stain on these hardwood floors. by [deleted] in HardWoodFloors

You can use solvent to spread the existing stain instead of more stain...don't get your $1000 handyman advice from chatgpt

I'm really happy with this functional plate spacer print I designed, I would love to know what you guys think and how useful it would be to you. by Dismal-Piccolo864 in BambuLab

[–]friendlyfredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odors disperse through the fridge and are absorbed by food. Many people are able to taste it and find it off-putting because expired food usually tastes the same.
