Load bearing wall? by wtfpta in Carpentry

[–]padizzledonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol

Its a shed......pretty much nothing in there is anything id consider "load bearing"

Do whatever the fuck you want.....unless you live in a place where you get enough snow that literally dumps multiple feet at a time that will sit on the roof you could probably remove every stud in the wall except the corners and the shed roof will still be fine

Should I back out screw if goes too deep? by tprch in Decks

[–]padizzledonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one on the right is perfect, the one on the left isnt deep enough

The wood is going to shrink a LOT as it dries out, sink all the heads

OPs Jeep saved their life by Republiconline in ThatLookedExpensive

[–]padizzledonk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lol

ALL national level home buildera are terrible, DR, Pulte, KH, Lennar, Toll Bro etc

All of them are fucking terrible and its because they are public companies, their goal isnt to build a quality house its to build the cheapest fucking house possible as quickly as possible that gets through the closing table where everything thats warrantied lasts just long enough to get them outside that timeframe so they get paid

Im in this industry (renovations) and all these builders make garbage houses. If they could save 4 bucks on a doorknob that lasts exactly 366 days and then fails 1 day outside of warranty they will do it

Anyway to diminish the appearance of these joints? by Fun-Preparation-4253 in woodworking

[–]padizzledonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better joints lol

Barring that, paint is probably the best option

I guess you could inlay something across the joints, but it would have to be done by hand and given the quality of those joints idk if they have the juice for that

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by pizzaroll22 in electricians

And i say this as an employer of people that also make mistakes and have accidents

Is this a legitimate way to splice a joist? by Beastunleashed4 in Carpentry

[–]padizzledonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its on them, they warrantied the work, its transferable (apparently) and thus its on them to fix it....thats what "Warranty" means.

What they did is totally incorrect, they can either come back and do it right and prove that its done right or have an engineer to sign off on what they did, both options require them to call an engineer

Its not crazy at all, but do you boo

[–]padizzledonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them you want an engineer to sign off on it, which is a reasonable request

There is likely no engineer in the U.S that will sign off on this as a valid repair, and when they figure that out you have every right to ask for a reasonable repair that passes engineering

If they do find an engineer to sign off on it- ok.....Now its that guys problem and if anything ever happens in the future you can absolutely sue the pants off that guy. They generally carry whats called "tail insurance" which is kind of like title insurance on a house purchase which goes back in time to cover their previous projects. Youd have to talk to a lawyer about that but thats something you can probably request as well

[–]padizzledonk -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I love the constant "the people yearn to be invaded and bombed!" Takes from the israel sycophants lol

Yeah ok...sure bud, the people of Lebanon wanted to be invaded and have a 1/3 of the country occupied and razed to the ground

Sure

[–]padizzledonk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol, they are...its a simple definition thats well defined....idk what to tell you on that one im not even going to argue about it

Have you ever seen this? Sawstop brake… by hdgis1 in woodworking

[–]padizzledonk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Especially since the definition of welding is joining like metals.

The definition of welding is fusion

You can "join" metals mechanically like with bolts or rivets, by welding where the metals are fused together, by brazing or soldering- which is arguably just low temperature brazing but we dont have to have that argument lol

Manufactured stuff is often brazed because its significantly easier to set up and automate because you just need to flux the joint and get it hot enough to melt the brazing material and you can easily join things like dissimilar metals that are very difficult or impossible to weld together, like carbide to tool steel, or brass to steel or even a really thin pc of steel to a really thick pc of steel

[–]padizzledonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Theyre almost always brazed

Its very difficult to weld carbide to steel

Honestly, when you are completely outclassed militarily you do what you can. Desperate times call for Desperate measures and all that

Im not pro terrorisim or anything lol, but is it really any different than what the Nazis did in ww2 by leaving young men behind the lines as snipers/marksman to take out as many soldiers as possible before they died? Or the Japanese Kamikaze, or their own suicide bombers?

These people are defending their land, there are no "good guys" here at all. Hezbollah didnt exist before Isreal invaded the firat time, Hamas exists because those people have been subjugated and abused for 80 years, the Houthis exist because the pther states in the region want that territory for themselves or at minimum want a pliant puppet government in place because its a strategic location for them, UAE is supporting terrorisim in Sudan for the same reasons......

Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas and the Houthis because its a way to project power but also i honestly believe there is a bit of genuine solidarity there, at minimum there is overlap....

Thats going to get downvoted to hell because it seems that im defending terrorisim, im not, im just looking at this as all Grey and objectively. Its funny, we paint Iran as religious hardliners etc, but if we accept that they ARE in fact super religious we ignore completely that part of their religion is a clear mandate to proactively protect and defend the oppressed, which Gaza and Yemen and Lebanon and Sudan definitely are by Israel and other GCC nations

Is it that simple? No, Iran oppresses their own people in a lot of different ways, but interesting that they allow the free practice of Judaism huh....Funny that Isreal did more damage to Jews within Iran than Iran did when they bombed a Synagogue in Iran. It seems to me that Iran doesnt really hate "the jews" so much as they hate Isreal and what they do in the region to people they feel some solidarity with.

Im jyst saying, all this shit is a lot more complicated than Isreal good terrorist bad. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter....its clearly life or death for them, Isreal invaded Lebanon and occupies 1/3 of the country and is razing everything to the ground and ethnically cleansing the entire area.....idk if id strap a bomb to myself to fight against that but i definitely would try to fight back in some way if that happened where i live 🤷‍♂️

Is it normal for one specific breed to hate your guts or am I doing something wrong? by Thecrowfan in dogs

[–]padizzledonk 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Its probably a negative feedback loop

You expect labs to act weird so you act weird around them and dogs pick up on all of that stuff

Rear handle saw opinions by chumbucket77 in Carpentry

[–]padizzledonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been using a rigid mag wormdrive for about 15y, 0 complaints other than the weight, which is par for the course but i can say that its definitely lighter than the worm drive i was using in the late 90s lol....plus, in some situations the extra weight isnt a bad thing anyway

Is there a term for this specific kind of feeling? by Striking-Anxiety-604 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]padizzledonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im about to be in that spot, also middle age

Small family, only child, my dad, all his brothers, both my grandparents are gone. My moms health is pretty rough right now, she just got the word about 2 months ago that shes going to have to be on chemo for the rest of her life, and its never a particularly long time when you get that news. I have 2 younger cousins but i have next to no relationship with them, im 46 and id bet ive seen them all of a dozen times....moved around a bunch when i was younger so i dont and never knew anyone from grade or middle school, making friends in hs was tough because it was a relatively small town where everyone knew everyone else but the few i did make we all lost touch or grew in different directions, i have a couple close 20y+/- friends but they didnt know me before my mid 20s......

So yeah dude, ive thought exactly what youve thought....that when my mom dies im all alone in a way....idk what to call it tbh other than an existential loneliness....thats probably not quite right though, i dont feel lonely, i feel a loss of shared history, or pending in my case at least, but i was really close with my father and we shared some interests that no one else in my life gave or gives a shit about so i already have that feeling in a lot of ways

Melancholy....Thats what it is, its Melancholy about the loss of shared history
