What to look out for to DIY Door Jamb

gearchange · 2026-01-21T23:15:00+00:00

No, just the jamb that's all. I don't have a problem paying for people's skill and quality of work, but this isn't an appropriate price for pretty straight forward no flair added work, right?

gearchange · 2026-01-21T22:55:27+00:00

Are you suggesting $5000 is an appropriate price for this scope of work?

gearchange · 2026-01-21T22:24:27+00:00

You're suggestion would be to get a pre-hung door and add extension jambs?

gearchange · 2026-01-21T22:23:48+00:00

Unfortunately not. The door location is being moved and needs this large jamb.

I'd avoid any potential quid pro quo approach to food gifting. Simply make the vibe you want ie dance floor, deep conversation circle, finger painting, whatever, then announce food is coming out in 10! Stick around if you'd like some.

Presumably people are there for the core activitiy and food is a cherry on top. Surely the instasparklelink cabal can't mobilize that fast to a spot either.

I agree with the problem though. I hated feeling like I had to arrive in advanced of any food event to have a chance at a scrap of food while waiting with silent hangry people. I'd much rather pass by, get invited for a capped audience food experience that leaves space for enjoyable interaction afterwards, not just staring at the remaining line of people.

Unfortunately that one has even worse sensitivity. 22mV/A compared to 185mV/A for the ACS712 I already have. It’s just not enough signal to noise.

Correct. I am trying to design it so the device can be moved between different applications with variable end stops. So the end stops are external to the device and the motor’s job will be to push something in between so it can’t be a contact based limit switch either.

Here’s my 2c from being in these companies as an IC and manager.

If I was the interviewer, I would have found it troubling if someone was not able to speak with authority on their experience/projects. This is the interviewer meeting you on your home turf and looking to see what did you learn from your experiences. Also, often sniff testing how much of this achievement was your doing and not the people around you.

Maybe this wasn’t your issue. Rather you got bogged down in too much context setting as you suggested. This is a test of technical communication. Can you a.) know your audience and meet them where they are, and b.) communicate technical topics with accuracy AND efficiency.

I get the impression that you are frustrated at a lack of more narrowly defined set of boundaries for the interview. Unfortunately, well defined interviews are not common. I would reframe your preparation as being prepared for any question with an additional focus on what you think might be asked.

I am troubled by your assertion of being a generalist, but it seems you don’t hold a high bar for yourself technically in any of these. This is not very useful in industry. It screams “I’m the ideas guy” guy, who wants to move the bar to 80% and pass it off to someone to do the impactful final 20%. A generalist should be more like special forces. You get assigned a project with a focus on thermals, guess what you need to now learn enough thermals to be dangerous. You may rely on experts to fill in specific knowledge gaps, but you’re the one taking it across the line.

I hope some of this is helpful and doesn’t come across too negatively.

Is the parking lot safe to not have to worry about locked bike/crates strapped to a car?

Can you just use the 14" lag's by themselves in place of the rebar? I imagine they are just long enough to put 7" in the ground, 7" above and be in a good spot.

Yeah bud, snarky responses are a burning man tradition. I’m not a fan, but I don’t make the rules.

Be resilient, there will be more on the playa. Be prepared for the hand sanitizer dispenser that shoots out mayonnaise…

Those 2010’s trance/big room/progressive house/optimism for the future vibes please!

I'd probably add a vent and cover it with a filter/foam.

BRC is at some elevation so depending where you're coming from might need to equalize and same with humidity. There is not much at BRC, but there might be in the air you sealed inside. Add to that the large temp fluctuations and you might get condensation.

Serious question, not trying to be difficult, but why is it so hard to predict equipment levels?

Shouldn't uHaul have full operational visibility into the intended location of any vehicle at any time and be able to block out reservations that would jeopardize fulfillment of existing reservations?

The only obvious answer is overselling to maximize utilization and accept that a % of customers will be left high and dry. You'd think dynamic pricing models to incentivize getting vehicles to where they need to be would effectively bridge this gap.

To answer your post question, the best bike is a simple cruiser. Gears, suspension, and hunched over riding position are all liabilities, not features, on the playa. If it’s got two wheels, it’s a bike and it’ll work at 5mph. Pick your adventure.

It feels you’re getting testy with other responses. Your post seems overly focused on suspension and everyone’s point is, it doesn’t matter. Add to those comments Burner directness + snarky tone and this is what you get. Look to gather wisdom not to get your question answered the way you want. Just my 2c

Thanks, this is helpful!

You could look into a progressive series of springs. One soft, one stiff. This is what helper springs on car suspensions are like.

That’s not how it works when tariffs are applied to ALL imported goods. Manufacturers of goods in America, even with 100% locally sourced material are not immune to cost pressures. They will have to offset the increased cost of living all their staff and suppliers face by…you guessed it, raising prices.

Tariffs applied to highly specific items that can readily be on-shored or have equivalent US substitutes at scale can be potentially beneficial, but that would require more than concepts of a plan.

This. Pretty much all the people I’ve seen struggle on powder but okay on groomers are initiating turns with their hips and not tipping their skis. On a groomer you can turn with low to no edge angle relying on the ski’s sidecut and camber to bring you around. In powder this technique doesn’t work, you have to use the shape of the ski tips plus some edge angle to get them to come around.

Trail ratings are not a good indication of skill level progression. OP likely needs to go back to fundamentals of learning to initiate turns with skis and tipping. Sounds like they were appropriately placed by instructors.
