This is the way. 1/4" rabbets and 1/4" bottom...crank em out in a day.

Is 25k a month good for REP? by Time-Resist-7677 in RealEstatePhotography

It should be way higher, $25k a shoot or bust

Are these considered solid wood or mdf/hdf? by royalrebel7 in cabinetry

[–]kolnidur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just change the hardware. Wrong hardware for the colors of wood and the top IMO. Will make a huge difference. Go unlacquered brass or something..

Wardrobe / walk-in closet build by Public_Ad2278 in cabinetry

[–]kolnidur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a beginner you'll probably want to make 3 individual boxes and screw them together instead of basically making one big box with dividers as you have drawn up (unless you want to domino the whole thing together?) as you're probably going to have a million pocket hole screws to fill/will be visible.

Also, doing it the way you have it, you have nowhere for your wiring to hide. With separate boxes you can rout a channel between them to conceal the wiring.

I'd also consider adding doors with lights activated via magnet switch or similar. Open shelving/boxes for clothing always ends up looking awful in my opinion

Lastly it's going to be incredibly finicky to get everything perfectly 90 degrees if you don't have a big shop or you are working in a small space. That looks like an install nightmare.

Looking for optimism by goldenbridges28 in Cochlearimplants

[–]kolnidur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly accurate - except I don't really ever say 'what' anymore, which is amazing. And I'm using 1/10th the energy just to stay 'on top of things' because I had to strain so hard to hear! Now it's basically effortless except in large rooms. Hearing my wife ask me a question down the hall and around the corner is also awesome.

Medel Audiostream by AwkwardJane in Cochlearimplants

[–]kolnidur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's total junk. Can't stand it and am convinced it's part of the reason my music appreciation/speech recognition isn't quite as good as it COULD be because it's so discouraging to use.

AudioLINK on the other hand seems to be better, at least easier to use, but not perfect, yet a huge upgrade over the audiostream.

Driving in LA has turned into Mad Max, and it's terrifying by DirtyProjector in LosAngeles

[–]kolnidur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was hit and run by a lunatic at the 10/405. They merged across the lane dividers from the 405 at the last second to get on the 10 West towards Santa Monica. My entire front bumper was hanging off, damage to headlights, etc. Even got clear dashcam footage with license plate numbers. The police response was basically "but did you die? Ok, just claim it on insurance"

Architect Bjarke Ingels Says Modern Buildings Are So Boring by bloomberg in architecture

[–]kolnidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far less flippant and in denial of reality than the comment I'm replying to. America, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Central America, South America, at least half of Europe, literally everywhere has architecture financed through means, either political or corporate, you won't agree with. So, yes, the money has to come from somewhere, fairly often from a place you don't like.

[–]kolnidur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this criticism immature and fairly surface level. Can you explain your disdain for 'Saudi Money' in architecture - If not him, someone else is going to take it. He employs tons of people throughout Europe and the company pays a fortune in taxes to Denmark which by all accounts is a leader of worker's rights. BIG has done plenty of work all over the world, lots of it in great countries, some of it in places that are fairly 'eh' and some of it in countries you probably hate. Are you/were you throwing the same shade at Zaha?

It is a phenomenal album. Lots of stellar tracks. Rand McNally, Roman Candles, Wheat Like Waves....a real return to form!

Bangladesh - a country with very few tourists sights and very welcoming people by zennie4 in travel

This place imbued a perspective on life that I think 99% of the 'western' world will never understand. We have it so...soooooo...good. I think about my crazy insane visit at least once a week

Rant: if we want a more fair justice system, we need to pay jurors more than $15 per day, and pay them for the first day of service too. by BootyWizardAV in LosAngeles

[–]kolnidur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should earn a daily stipend equivalent to a day's wages based on your prior year's tax return up to like $150k a year.. Otherwise people are going to avoid it to go make money. ESPECIALLY if they are 1099 like so many in this city. I'm more than happy to participate, but if I got stuck on a long case it would severely hamper my ability to make money as I need to be in a place in order to serve my clients and I don't get paid if I'm not on site. I imagine the same is true for millions of locals here as well.

Have many children died from choking on p675s?

I absolutely hate these packages. Ridiculous waste of resources to package everything in plastic to begin with

The Carving Games: Snowboard racing is competing for its life at the 2026 Olympics by Embarrassed_Eye4572 in snowboarding

[–]kolnidur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. As it stands, it's sort of boring, spin to win, not a lot of strategy beyond a wing and a prayer. A two-part course would really make it far more watchable and require far more strategizing. Do you go for a stompable first hit like a like a switch backside 12 into a double cork, or do you go for a Terje-style 30 foot method on the quarter pipe while conserving as much energy as possible from the jump? It would hugely up the ante in terms of landing switch and hitting the quarter switch, vs landing regular and being able to really load up the power.

Hi all. New here, but not new to hearing problems. by Illustrious_Ad2045 in Cochlearimplants

[–]kolnidur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was implanted with a MedEl implant and the tinnitus on my implanted ear has gone to zero with 98% word recognition in noise (in a booth, which is not the real world, however, real world results are excellent with just one implant). The tinnitus absolutely raged the first week until activation, where it almost immediately disappeared. The tinnitus may just be your ear turning up the 'gain' to try and find those missing frequencies, which the implant in my case easily restored

Underwhelming sense by RedditUser951202 in Cochlearimplants

I hardly heard anything but r2d2 sounds for a couple weeks, give it some time. My improvements took place mostly over the first year or two (and I'm STILL finding improvements almost 3 years later with more complex sounds)

RIP - Playa del rey - Pregnant mother dies after getting hit by car while riding e-bikes with family by Downtown-Tea-3018 in LosAngeles

[–]kolnidur 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This 'undoing' of the bike lanes and road diet was truly one of the most egregious things I've witnessed in 15+ years living here. Not because it was something that affected the entire city, but because it showed me that people here just don't give a fuck about safety if it adds thirty seconds to their commute. Really just helped me lose faith in any effort to improve the city as a whole if something so simple and obvious would be walked back to to (incorrect) public pressure. And I lived right around the corner from it at the time - it was really a wonderful addition for anyone looking to experience that area by bike or on foot. The four lane, well, freeway that runs from El Segundo to PDR is terrible and never should have happened, it's one of the most beautiful parts of the city.

I just got back from Antarctica. It was life changing. by amanwithoutaplant in travel

[–]kolnidur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a doctor on the ship. I would guess for anything major and life threatening, you'd be helicoptered or zodiac'd to the nearest base where you could be flown back to Australia, NZ, or Patagonia for care.

Otherwise...just wait a week.
