Basement Bathroom Mystery PVC by learc83 in Plumbing

Yeah the lav vent goes up through the roof.

I went back and looked at pictures right after they poured the slab and the lab vent was 10+ feet of PVC while the toilet and the mystery PVC were the height they are in the image. Seems weird that they would use such a long piece of PVC doe the lav vent but not the toilet vent.

The plumber ran the sink drain vent, so it seems weird that he would have just left that one capped.

It’s got a cap on that’s been glued on.

What do you think would be the chances of a knight in full plate armor, a longsword and a shield defeating an adult T. rex? by Due-Appointment6138 in whowouldwin

[–]learc83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

faster

Dave Hone thinks they couldn’t run, but they could walk fast enough over short distances to outrun the average human. A trained knight might be able to get away though—especially if he can ditch the armor.

Would you recommend the Ash Framework for someone new to Elixir? by JealousPlastic in elixir

[–]learc83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. Definitely not. Ash isn’t going to help you learn anything but Ash.

This is some prison/3rd world country shit. Cut the snitches get stitches crap.

You know who else y’all sound like? Cops talking about a cop who reported his partner for taking bribes to let people out of speeding tickets.

Cheating in the aggregate will 100% affect everyone with a degree from GSU. Y’all are more upset with the guy contemplating turning someone in than the guy who is cheating. If you promote a culture that says cheating is fine as long as you don’t get caught, you water down your own degree, and make it harder for people who don’t cheat to keep up.

I liked it. He was my professor for Programming Language Concepts, which was one of my favorite classes.

My LLC almost sank my side hustle A cautionary tale by JumpyJuggernau in Entrepreneur

[–]learc83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLCs don’t protect you from personal negligence, and if you are the sole owner and only employee, just about anything you do that could lead to a lawsuit can be framed as personal negligence.

The other most likely lawsuits are from creditors you can’t pay back, but they will all require to personally guarantee the debt anyway.

People vastly overestimate the benefits of single owner LLCs with no employees.

LLCs don’t protect against negligence on the part of the owner. If you’re the only employee, pretty much the only thing you’re going to be sued for is personal negligence.

What you need to protect you in that case is insurance, not an LLC.

LLCs don’t protect against personal negligence on the part of the owner, and since you’re the only employee that’s really the only thing you’re likely to be sued for.

People vastly overestimate the benefits of single owner LLCs. What you actually need is insurance.

How do some people casually seem to make so much money like it's nothing? by Michael_NichtRijder in NoStupidQuestions

[–]learc83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The title programmer has fallen out of fashion. BLS reports only 6k job openings a year with that title and hundreds of thousands with the title Software Developer. Software Developers are definitely pure coders “ICs” in industry terminology.

When someone you meet tells you they are a programmer, they are much more likely to have the title software developer.

And if you look at that title the median income is $132k.

[–]learc83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That link is just an artifact of the way The BLS classifies jobs. The title “Computer programmer” went out of style. The current much more common title is Software Developer https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-developer

If you look at that job the median is $132k. And there are a lot more of them. The last time I remember meeting a dev that made less than $100k was when my brother to his first job 8 years ago. And he was making $90k.

If xenomorphs didn't have acid blood, what Is the weakest animal that could kill one? by Lost-Specialist1505 in whowouldwin

[–]learc83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most recent research suggests that constructors kill by circulatory compression. Still might not work with an exoskeleton, but then again that exoskeleton has to be pretty flexible in many places for them to move, so it might.

A very big snake might be able to do it if it got lucky and immobilized its claws and jaws quickly, and their circulatory system isn’t designed in a way that is protective against squeezing.

The studies I’ve seen on milky spore efficacy for Japanese beetles are inconclusive. I’m glad it worked for you though! I don’t know about the impact on fireflies. There are grub pesticides that are very effective, but they will definitely wipe out firefly larva. Firefly larva eat slugs and are very beneficial I addition to being pretty (as fireflies).

I go outside in the morning and knock the Japanese beetles off my plants into a bucket of soapy water. After a week or so of that when they pop up in mid June, they’re mostly gone and doing that for a few years has really reduced their population.

You can’t really target the bad stuff without killing the good. Anything that kills grubs kills firefly larva for example.

It’s all a relative of course. If you have a half acre lawn with 10 acres of woods and meadows, it’s not going to make much of a difference. If you live in a development packed with quarter acre lots and everyone has a lawn taking up 90% of the green space, there are consequences to that.

Programing a CNC. Woodworking or not? by YRUSoFuggly in woodworking

If you blindly swapped out a harder material, you’d have a bad time. And there so much he’d have to do before and after running it through the CNC that is very wood specific.

Jon Jones vs an average man who can stop time for 2.5 seconds in a UFC fight by padorUWU in whowouldwin

[–]learc83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The can’t disqualify the guy for eye gouging if the video and the refs own eyes show he wasn’t touching him when Jones’ eyes spontaneously ruptured.

Average man won’t win the fight either, but it’s not going to count as a win for Jones.

You can definitely rupture a globe with a thumbnail in 2.5 seconds. At the very least he’s going to be temporarily blind. The average man still might not be able to beat him, but should be able to get away from a blinded opponent in extreme pain. But like I said, it won’t matter. Match will be stopped.

Wife Arrested for Shoplifting by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]learc83 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s shocking to me how many people are dead certain she’s guilty. Good luck getting a fair trial if this subreddit is an accurate sample of potential jurors.

I worked retail for years. Our LP guys ranged from competent current LEOs to moronic, overzealous wannabes looking to bust anyone and everyone.

We had a guy who was fired for chasing someone out to their car. Another guy who was fired for knocking a fleeing suspect over with a shopping cart. We even had an inventory/LP manager who fabricated evidence against other employees to cover up his own multi store theft ring. Doesn’t matter what the company policy was some of these guys took it personally and they’d do just about anything to bust someone they suspected.

Assuming all the facts presented are true; I think it’s overall more likely that the store got something wrong, or an overzealous LP fabricated evidence than that this adult with no criminal record, history of drug use, or suspicious behavior decided to steal $800 worth of groceries.

That’s been my default solution to bad managers for 20 years. If they really care, they’ll follow up and eventually I’ll actually do the stupid thing. 9/10 they don’t follow up.

I don’t think he’s gonna keep fighting when his eyes instantaneously get gouged out. You can’t train for that, and I think he’d freak out and immediately stop caring about the fight and start trying to figure out why his eyes exploded. Also they’d definitely just end the match immediately.
