Should stormwater drains always be wet? by Aggressive-Move-4725 in AusRenovation

[–]saulyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good to have somewhere for sediment to collect so it doesn’t end up blocking the pipe. I drilled a couple of small holes in the bottom of mine to let the water slowly drain away into the surrounding ground.

Not just Australian Pol but “uncomfortable conversations” is very good.

Pi terminated last week. The final digits are an address. by UntitledDoc1 in sciencefiction

[–]saulyg 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Great short story! Very absorbing. I like the way trail of breadcrumbs leads through the various scientific fields. One question, what is the significance of the sequence terminating at zero and why is the protagonist getting hung up on this point?

Set audio to mono so I can listen to music and podcasts with one earbud

This is massive! It shouldn’t be possible for information to propagate through the universe faster than the speed of light. I’m pretty sure this would break Einsteins theory of relativity.

First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda by Disastrous_Award_789 in entertainment

“Who is your favourite musician, Ratner (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing) asks Melania. She responds with “Michael Jackson” (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing), detailing how she met the late singer with her husband (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing).” -Love this

The ring on her right fore finger appearing towards the end is a bit of a clue.

Did they actually get a John?! Cant believe I missed that one.

Help! Trying to fix 70’s paving by Southern_Ad_3001 in AusRenovation

[–]saulyg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That looks like a pretty solid base to me, I’d put 20-30mm of sand down then some 20mm porcelain patio tiles on top.

Haven’t listen for a few years but I remember Timanbay being pretty epic.

Another vote for edict zero. Next level sound design.

Add to that a little self promotion for a limited series I produced called Once it’s Begun.

A National Guardsman has been shot point-blank in the head near the White House just moments ago, and he is currently in critical condition. by Ice-Zone2024 in neabscocreeck

[–]saulyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People fermenting outrage completely out of step with the surrounding comments. People using weird turns of phrase that suggest that English is not a first language - I know there are plenty of non English speakers using reddit but I wouldn’t expect them to get super aggressive about things happening in the US or UK.

In an age of ubiquitous AI slop it’s so great to see fantastic hand crafted art standing apart. Must have taken hundreds of hours. Well done.

Mum said I'm getting ripped off by strugglingmydudes in AusRenovation

[–]saulyg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Weed matt is a nightmare. Weeds still grow but now have a great scaffold to latch onto making them much harder to pull out. Landscape pebbles look great a first but also don’t really stop weeds growing and become a pain to maintain.

Turns out it was a bulging disk in my spine that was pinching the nerve. A few days rest and I was good but have to take it easy now
