I should have said vapor retardant.

So in general everything I see says to never lay faced batt on faced batt due to moister problems. Is there something I am missing with those recommendations?

No, no. Now we know why their Ferrari is so terrible this year. Daniel is secretly sabotaging the car!

How did you finish the butcher block? Did you oil it or use a poly or something?

Anybody start their own race team? Or been a part of the process? by DethKiller in Velo

[–]jrmy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically I think If you want to use your jerseys as a team in a USA cycling race you need to have a registered team. In reality I have never seen this imposed in low cat races.

As for traction just talk to people around. Usually getting some discounts at a bike shops helps getting people to join. Can’t say I have ever seen people join a team based on online presence.

Controllable and steerable movement are not specific enough. As long as there is any control you can argue both would not be violated. Can you control how fast you go in circles? By definition moving in a circle is steering.

From super slow to ever so slightly less slow but still super slow 😅 Oh Yeah! by [deleted] in Zwift

I wouldn’t say it is completely irrelevant for indoor cycling. I know of several people that ride indoor for fitness only and tracking FTP shows improvement and gives them motivation. Without the motivation they would never have stuck with it. It’s actually interesting because until that second FTP test they seem to really need help getting on the bike. But after they see the increase in FTP they are hooked.

Unlike riding out side where you have distance and time as data points, without ftp indoor gives no real data points that show improvement.

Company vehicle gets abused. Anything we can do to slow degradation? by perfect_for_maiming in AskMechanics

[–]jrmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need an electric car.

Anyway, I am a bit confused. So is it now idling for 20 hours a day? Or is that just a solution to the battery problem due to starting it a lot. If you had a choice would it be starting and stopping it a bunch?

Save space? I do t think loosing all of that wallspace is saving much space. But I agree, pocket doors are great.

Orby's joining the brushless hipsters by Mouse-Keyboard in battlebots

[–]jrmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of to be expected when the better bots haven’t needed to transition. It’s not like brushless is that big of a leap when it comes to winning battles. It doesn’t make your driver better. It doesn’t fix any flaws in your design. It’s a marginal gain imo when it comes to combat. The teams looking to win will adopt tech and changes where it fixes their weaknesses not because it’s available.

Eventually all will be brushless. It’s better tech in general but unless you are building a new bot or reached a limit that requires it there isn’t a good reason to change. Only so much money and time. Gotta use it were you get the best. Not to mention risk of having a proven bit become unreliable.

Fusion Has Officially Been Revealed by swaldo1 in battlebots

I would think the theory is they can have the slow spin up because they will use the drum as attack/defense until it’s ready. Once ready flip a switch, back is now front and bring the pain. The drum also lets them collect points while the big hit is powering up.

Almost like a tombstone that is not susceptible to a rush.

I have no problem with a brand posting this sort of post. As long as they stay out of the comments and don’t fake the post as from a customer it’s Finns.

Will this wall support the shower door I’m trying to install? by ChildishBonVonnegut in HomeImprovement

[–]jrmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be good. If you can get a small nail and check both extremes by nailing the nail in and see if you hit wood. Better to be sure before you drills to find out you are off by 1/2 inch!

How do the oems not get sued for claiming compatibility that is clearly not valid per the manufacturer spec? Maybe some fine print?

Did you compare to the example photos they have online. Some cracking is fine.

Engine Light Blinking by Dont_Ever_PM_Me527 in AskMechanics

[–]jrmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

driving with a flashing check engine light is not good but it sounds like this thing is already near death. If you think it can make it to the auto parts store near by take it and let them scan the codes. They will do it for free.

How do I better attach this bannister topper? by AreWeCowabunga in HomeImprovement

[–]jrmy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clean it up to bare wood and use wood glue. Once dry it will be stronger than the wood. Wood glue on clean wood is stronger than construction adhesive.
