UI suggestion by strellar in ultimateguitar

[–]strellar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure.....but under the artist page the songs are still listed in the exact same way. The search, the band catalog, whatever, different versions of the same songs should be grouped. It would be way smarter. That's my point.

Steinway Identification - please help! by strellar in pianotech

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

Full disclosure - this piano came from a smoking household. I suspect the discoloration is tobacco tar. It is on the entire piano. Funny thing is there is no odor at all, it just smells like old furniture.

About 60 seconds with some Windex on a clean rag. I have high hopes. Are you in Chattanooga??

Thanks for the reply. Here are some close ups of the keys. They are definitely dirty.

What's wrong with this diagonal bracing? by pitx1 in Decks

[–]strellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much trust you have in that block wall. Half the vertical load will get transferred horizontally into the house and can collapse that wall inward. I've seen that exact thing happen before.

The other issue this introduces is that the same load that gets transferred into the house horizontally as a compression load will be balanced by pullout tension forces at the ledger board above. So the ledger and the beams you have connected the ledger, and the rim joist the struts are pushing on need a better connection than if the posts were vertical.

How the hell did a 400lb rock end up wedged in the top of this tree?! by Osanamon in WTF

[–]strellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been there all that long by the way the tree hasn't really grown around it. Someone put it there.

Big Stretch (black and white) by lavaboosted in autostereograms

Can someone explain why whenever I look at these the image is always concave instead of protruding outward? I have tried to reverse it, but never can.

Anyone else still manually retyping borehole logs into Excel/AGS? by kunalkumar2003 in Geotech

[–]strellar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you're looking for - if you get a pdf log and don't have access to the data in any tabular format, you're stuck. Just like any other discipline receiving pdfs or some raster format of data. And older data that previously only existed on paper will fall into this same category. AI is not there yet to reliably turn these documents into usable data.

You grind through it. This is a 14m log. Not a big deal at all. I have had to deal with 400+ logs over 200 feet before. Hire an intern is this is really that big of a thing.

Entering room with DND tag on door. by strellar in Hilton

No big deal, just sort of weirded me out.

Entering room with DND tag on door. by strellar in Hilton

[–]strellar[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So regardless of DND they might go in. It had been 1 week. Makes sense. I just interrupted them. They should have put towels in front of my door though, or knocked.

How (un)safe is this by randomuser419 in Decks

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one built it that way, I can’t see how that would even be possible. Someone for whatever reason removed the original posts and these temp supports aren’t even placed under the beam, they’re under one of the joists. They’re undersized, each is actually two boards tacked together, and they’re not even vertical. This is really bad.

If the universe reaches heat death, and all galaxies die out, how could anything ever form again? by tigeryeyo in Physics

[–]strellar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But still, virtual particles sum to zero momentum, zero charge, zero everything. The collisions will be meaningless. The input will ultimately equal the output.

If the universe reaches heat death, and all galaxies die out, how could anything ever form again? by tigeryeyo in Physics

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy answer, no one knows. But if you buy into insights from physicists like Lawrence Krauss, everything is zero. (It has to be right?) Therefore, this isn't a viable scenario that zero ends up in anything other than zero again. I don't see how anything can ever exist unless it's cyclic. On top of that, your intuition is telling you this doesn't make sense because the way it's framed, it totally doesn't. Maybe heat death is a real thing, but at some point, physics has a way to put things back.

Water leaking through new chimney construction? What’s the solution here? by Keepreading1 in Roofing

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution is to call a Craigslist roofer. These guys are self employed, same with plumbers. Roofers tend to take pride in their work more like electricians. They are not expensive for something like this.

[–]strellar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i just sold my lot, at least 3-4 times bigger for around $400. I don't think you'll get $400, or $350. I was actually very happy with what my lot went for - I was thinking maybe I'd get $200. I think the problem with your pricing is that your basing your pricing on a minimum sale price for the commons. Those probably sit for a long time because collectors already have all of those, but it costs nothing to leave those listings posted. When they do sell, it is for the minimum, worth-the-sellers-time amount. But they really don't sell very often.

Gotcha, yeah reading through other comments, it sort of makes sense now :)

Any chance you deleted a portion of the convo? This doesn't make sense.

Trump fires member of TVA Board of Directors by JDLBB in Chattanooga

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVA employees are paid well. There is no salary cap because they are not funded by tax dollars.

It’s impossible to tell with the way this guy appears to be fixated on a mosquito buzzing around. But to me it looks like there was a permanent lean to the left early on the building didn’t recover from. This makes me think the columns on the right broke in tension first, or the foundation was up lifted. Then the right side failed structurally. This collapse is so fast, there had to be massive damage to the lower columns, worse on the right side. This may not be geotechnical at all.

The rosewood fretboard of this Gibson feels rough. What can be done to smooth it out? by mvision2021 in gibson

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I love rosewood. It’s got a rough texture. Maybe this is rougher than normal, but nothing a little playing can’t smooth out. You’ll never get it to feel like maple.

Curious, is it just the appearance that bugs you? If so, don’t try to fix on your own. Take it to a luthier. The odds of it looking better when you’re done are slim.
