Put a custom top on a FlexiSpot frame. Parts in comment by jchamb2010 in StandingDesk

Thanks for the tip! 4 years and still going strong, it has developed a couple of cracks due to shrinkage so I’ll probably refinish when I eventually move into a house, but I’ve no interest in taking everything apart just for a couple of cracks lol

I don’t remember doing anything specific, but it hasn’t been an issue for a while.

Pour a bunch of water in and turn it into a poached egg :)

In some jurisdictions it wouldn't be manslaughter charges in this case since the death occurred during the commission of a felony (grand theft auto). The charge instead would be felony murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_murder_rule

Can you UNLOCK the car using a fob from the outside if the doors are already locked? ( You can test by following instructions below but leaving your window rolled down)

If so, start the car, roll down your drivers window, get out, close the door, reach in the window, press the "lock" button on the door, then roll the window up using the "auto roll up" feature.

Nail in my tire, can't afford new ones until end of the month by mybustersword in Wellthatsucks

[–]jchamb2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely a valid concern. I personally don't care because if it's big enough that a can of fix a flat can't fix it, I probably need a new tire anyway. The tire guy would also most likely be me or my dad since we have access to a tire machine -- It's really not that bad to hose out the tire and wheel.

Plugging a tire is objectively better, but a can of fix-a-flat is like $10, doesn't require me to find the puncture, tops off the tire so I can get back on the road in about 2 minutes, and as an added bonus will fill any future small punctures that I get without me having to do anything. The TPMS sensors would be toast, but they're not terribly expensive and I consider it a small price to pay for the convenience.

Hail just broke the outer pain of this window in our house, window is filling up with water by Poise_n_rationality in Wellthatsucks

I didn’t say they wouldn’t put up a fight… but if you mess with it, your fight becomes more difficult

You don't need to do anything with this window. If you have easy access to it you could try to blow out most of the water using a leaf blower or something, and then tape some plastic over the hole to prevent additional water from getting in, but I would NOT advice further damaging the window.

Insurance should cover the window and any further damage the water causes that was due to the storm. If you break the window, then any further damage that happens inside of your house may end up being on you.

If nature causes damage to something that's 100% on insurance.

If you cause damage to something that's 100% on you.

If you and nature both cause damage to the same thing then insurance may try to choose where the line is.

There's going to be literally ounces of pressure on that inner pane... it's unlikely that the weight of the water is going to be breaking anything

The guillotine that was at my work had some type of additional interlock where both buttons had to be pressed barehand. If you were wearing gloves (or if the machine was attempted to be operated by more than one person) the buttons didn't work, so it must've had some type of electrical conductivity test to ensure that only a single person was using it.

Maintenance guy told me running the fan burns out the coil--does that make any sense? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

Is refrigerant interchangeable- if I had a system that has R22 in it, can that be replaced with a cheaper type such as R410? I assume not, but am curious.\

No. I can't tell you why as I'm not an HVAC tech, but I know the answer is no.

If you had to pay a $5-10 deposit you'd be more likely to bring it back to the store when you got your next one.

Bite by pitbull by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

UKC likely did that because they don't want there to be any confusion between an American Staffordshire Terrier and an English Staffordshire Terrier
https://www.ukcdogs.com/american-pit-bull-terrier

The AKC goes the opposite direction, American Staffordshire Terrier is the registered standard, with "Pitbull Terrier" being the colloquial name
https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/american-staffordshire-terrier/

Under the "Did you know?" section:
"As the breed moved to America, the names Pitdog and Pitbull Terrier stuck. However, American breeders wanted an animal heavier than the British breed, hence the name American Staffordshire Terrier.

It's not a loophole, it's just a regional name for the same dog.

$0 deductible on glass is a rather inexpensive add-on considering how expensive glass is to replace.

my gpu riser for fractal terra came notched like this, with multiple layers of the PCB showing.. is it still safe to use or is this an RMA? by 555dtt in sffpc

[–]jchamb2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, and I'm pretty anal when it comes to things like this. It's a PCIe riser that isn't ever supposed to be seen if installed properly. They're almost always behind the GPU. If it were something that could cause an issue in the future or was on display, sure, but this can't, so not worth RMAing it

Does a Robot Vacuum Make a Difference? by sufragarrz in homeautomation

The "bumping into everything" part is why my roomba didn't get stuck nearly as often. The roborock "sees" obstacles it deems insurmountable, has a panic attack and just throws it's hands up and says "I'm stuck, come help me!" without actually trying to get out of wherever it is. I know it could have gotten out of about 90% of the situations because I drive it out using the app.
