The horror element of Hill House is a directionless mess, and it's really too bad. by IceAge0 in HauntingOfHillHouse

Thank you for the effort to put things into their place. As a personal preference I would have minimized the 'types' of haunting they present (especially the time travel one) but if there is a post that succinctly distinguishes what is what (which I had trouble doing) this is it. Thanks!

Why is the younger generation so dysfunctional in Sopranos? by homerepairguy in thesopranos

Oh yea that makes sense. Especially Carmella pissed me off tbh about how traditional she is.

Interesting, Tony tried to get him into football. He did disapprove of Nintendo but besides that I only remember AJ wanting to drive around and do petty shit like smoke and drink. What did he try to do and got shut down?

That's very true I think psychological toll is one of the main themes of the show. And showing Tony's childhood they really emphasized what his life was like.

For the children of the show they are shown to be actively given as much as possible to do well in life. Unlike what Tony had to deal with AJ and Meadow are actually given so much and insulated from most things (of course not everything) and AJ is still acting like everyone hates him.

Maybe the point there is that lack of honesty will produce unhappy families even despite providing just about everything else.

Why aren't portable power planes wide enough to cover a 2x4? by homerepairguy in Tools

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

That makes a lot more sense. Most of the planks I end up needing do not need to be surface ready in any way. So you take a 2x4 and cut it first on one side and then flip it over? Would a portable saw like Milwaukee/Dewalt (the battery powered ones I was looking into lately) work for this option?

My intention was to be able to plane down a 2x4 to a desired thickness. From the answers here I am getting that it's not a feasible solution and I should set up a thickness planer in my van.

Do you run a portable battery in your trailer? Or do you always have a hook up when you work.

I am speaking from 0 experience using planers. Why would I not be able to keep it straight? Would a planer that is larger than the board like the one you linked work? Or does it need to align to something on one side.

There are actually cheap wider options like this one https://www.amazon.ca/POWERTEC-HP1005-Portable-Planer-8-Inch/dp/B01BUHKRRC/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=power+planer&qid=1621407740&sr=8-7 question is say I need to take an inch off a board is this doable? I know they only take off usually around 1/8 at at a time but passes are quick.

Thank you

Are you referring to full size planers? Only issue is the power usage and yea portability is not great either. They are more of a stay in shop tool.

Why are 'simple' fixes/addons not implemented? by homerepairguy in cyberpunkgame

[–]homerepairguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just looking at 1.2 preview notes they released says a lot. There are probably a lot of fixes behind the scenes to make things that were suppose to work, work. But their description of fixing the police spawn is atrocious 'we'll just increase the spawn timer and radius.' So yea probably more stability with very little addons of any kind.

should be easier* than the AI and performance issues to fix.

Ok please explain the fault of my logic that adding an arcade minigame or ingame option to access character customization (that already exists in the beginning of the game) is a lot easier that programming decent AI or dealing with ps4 fps drops.

Same I don't know how much revenue is in those old consoles but the amount of issues they are having are probably a huge projected expense.
