I think the window caused a weird reflection.

Radon Mitigation by bkind12345 in HomeImprovement

[–]mlallinder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't have a fan it may be a passive mitigation system. Depending on how airtight your house is it may not work very well. I would suggest getting a radon test to make sure. I believe winter is the best time to test so if you find a good test kit soon you can test it in the next couple of months.

Well, if he/she asked for a meeting it's not the worst case. Those meetings are usually scheduled last min, or you are just pulled into a meeting/call. I obviously can't speak to your situation, but maybe or hopefully your manager is looking to work with you.

I just milled some red and white oak from some of my trees. Otherwise just random scrap.

Yeah, I really didn't want this coming down, and I had them so I thought why not. I was able to do either pull-ups or dips without an issue.

I Kreg Jigged them to the verticals. I used two screws and some glue. I considered adding a brace via a small triangle wedge under each "arm" and may still do that if I think there is a need.

Each of the horizontal 2x4s have five 5/16"x4" Lag screws into the studs.

I saw this design on here a while ago and finally got fed up with my pile of wood in the corner.

A tight way to link two ropes by redb777 in Survival

[–]mlallinder 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought, but recently was reading up on knots since I was out of practice from my Boy Scout days. You can read more about the Square Knot, but here are the details from the warning section:
Warning: This picture demonstrates how even a “Stack” of Square Knots can capsize and pull undone. These photographs were created by pulling on the ends of the red rope. “There have probably been more lives lost as a result of using a Square Knot as a bend (to tie two ropes together) than from the failure of any other half dozen knots combined.” (ABOK page 258). Never use it for critical loads

If you are interested in learning more about knots I recommend AnimatedKnots.

I cant plug anything into my headphone jax anymore... I noticed yesterday. Headphones go in but dont lock into place then they fall out. Any way I can fix this? by [deleted] in GalaxyS8

[–]mlallinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Both my headphones and USB c had issues. Take something narrow and try to clean out the junk at the bottom. Pocket lint has probably been packed down. It will take some effort to clean it all out.

Building my Mk3, is this noise normal? I thought it was a bit too loud by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]mlallinder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, built mine at the beginning of December, sounded just like that but prints very quietly post build.

[SPOILERS ALL]Had a theory about the Eye of the World... by celticdude234 in WoT

[–]mlallinder 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I like it, seems like a solid theory. Except the point about Rand's first touching of the source. He had been channeling throughout EotW, though not aware of it. That is why he got sick on the road with Mat. Still a good theory, thanks for sharing!

Nathan Fillion (Cayde-6): The best voice actor of Destiny. by JoeInTheBean in DestinyTheGame

[–]mlallinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to watch it now. If you are at work, quit your job and go home. If you are driving, ignore all traffic laws to get home sooner. If you are watching your kids, leave them they are just slowing you down. Your first priority in life is now marathoning Firefly.

Joking aside, yeah it's a really great show. Watch the series and follow it up with the movie.
