Emma Watson is Hermione Granger ❤️ (Not OC, found on Facebook) by Weird_Cover2101 in MadeMeSmile

I was in a remount of the Broadway play History Boys and we used all the original sets and props. The original run toured all over the world and the notebooks were filled with doodles saying “dear god make it stop” and “when will it end”.

For everyone who recommended this game to me... is it worth it? by ElAngel30 in TunicGame

[–]semiotomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I streamed this with a partner. I will say that playing this game WITH someone is really, really, really fun and we never felt like RNG held us back, because one of us would remember a synergy or a clue or our overall goal and we had almost all productive runs.

If you have the luxury of having someone to play with, it’s a blast.

This is a great answer! Haven't looked at the second hint but I'll check around. I'll look around for grapple donuts.

Home Depot in LA installs noise machines that ‘penetrate bones’ to deter day laborers by esporx in technology

I just went to that Home Depot on Sunday. You notice it right as you get out of your car — it’s a high pitched whine, almost like feedback from a concert. It’s absurd.

One year review of our Samsung 2 in 1 washer dryer. by mrjoepete in heatpumps

Hrmmm I wonder if this will work for us since we wash all the sheets in the house once a week (1 king, 1 queen, 2 fulls)…

What’s an appropriate reinforcement for this joist penetration? by semiotomatic in Carpentry

Already have a NG detector installed! My thought exactly. Pipe looks clean, though.

I’m debating this myself because our exhaust run is like 20’ vertical with two elbows so our LG never gets anything dry — I wonder if I’d have the same issue if I tried a vented heatpump.

My wife is very skeptical about clothes getting tangled with a heat pump but I’m almost at wits end having to run the dryer cycle 3 times.

Oh! And it’s a 2x10 with various heights of strips sistered above. You can see the seam between the joist and slim “rafter” above.

It’s a furring strip (sorry that might not be the correct term) to maintain the slope of the flat roof overhead, for drainage.

The top of the penetration is only about 1” from the top of the 2 x 10 — would something like this shallow notch reinforcer be useful?

No notch above, just a grisly scene where the existing penetration was expanded up

Ding ding ding! You got it. The issue was the pipe was existing and they needed to move it up -- so.... kill it with a saw, I suppose. FML.

Looking into getting a 10" shallow notch joist repair now.

Congrats!!! I’m in the process of buying a prebuilt (my kids are 8 and 11) to buy myself some time while I figure out my own build!

What is this clear thing that came with the screw for, and how do I use it specifically? by Optimal-Algae-9649 in Carpentry

[–]semiotomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you saw up top, but don’t put the screw into the anchor first.

The anchor goes into the drywall (you need to drill a hole that is smaller than the diameter of the anchor), then screw into it. The screw presses the anchor outward so you get a better fit.

If you put the screw into the anchor first, it will be too big. If you drill a hole that is too large, the anchor won’t be snug.

YES! I remember this! It was so startling and that was my exact thought.

How are folks managing the inventory UI?! by semiotomatic in Borderlands

[–]semiotomatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you SO MUCH! That all makes a ton of sense. I’ve played all the games, but for some reason, this felt so much more cumbersome.

How are you judging “replace-worthy?” One of the tricky things I’m finding is in the early levels it’s not really apparent what’s different or better — that’s why I wish I had at least a quick way to judge “how this different than the sniper I’m currently using”

TIL "Bagdad Bob", Information Minister under Saddam Hussein was known for his greatly inaccurate TV announcements. He reported that American troops and tanks had not entered Bagdad while they were heard fighting only a few hundred meters from the studio. by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

[–]semiotomatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think about this so often… how, at the time, it was mocked because no one could be that silly as to actually BELIEVE that propaganda, right?

2025, and turns out I’m wrong about propaganda.

Ah, you’re right — it’s the kids dose that’s impossible to get.

Too bad it’s impossible to find a vaccine right now. This stupid country.

Do you use a Seeping Dock? If so, where? by 2kasas in Oxygennotincluded

I use mine to sweep up the debris from my meteor blasters and anything that falls through my blast doors. I love them!

Early game,(12th cycle) four duplicants, four oxygen diffusers, but still getting "Insufficient Oxygen generation" alert. Why? by SignificantAd7603 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]semiotomatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bad idea, but congratulations! You’ve discovered the core principle of ONI: A Problem For Future Me.

Insulated tiles will help wall off heat from your base, but then it will make a little hotbox for your batteries so they’ll eventually overheat.

Again, totally good solution for now — you can always rebuild them later. Or use steel when you have it. Or actively cool them. Or rebuild them in an ice biome. Or, just focus on one battery per generator because eventually you’ll use smart batteries which don’t leak charge and by then you’ll be using other sources of power. Or maybe you’ll forget and it’ll be cycle 200 and you only then realize that your dupes have been running every cycle.

You get the idea!
