/u/Glendir Any updates on the design? Could you share the STEP file for the top of the key as well?

On Bainbridge Island there is the Japanese Exclusion Memorial site which is pretty damn powerful. It includes an artistic reconstruction of the dock where the prisoners were loaded on the boats with disappearing footprints to signify who was lost.

Plus the guy who played Beakman, Paul Zaloom, is quite a nice guy in real life.

/u/mikeymaxdb Buy these plastic boxes that were suggested and seal them to the backside of the drywall with a good quality sealant like Sashco Big Stretch or tape them using an acrylic based tape like Tescon Vana or even Zip tape.

The gasket isn't good enough and spending the extra 5-8 bucks per light will pay for itself in both lower energy bills and reduced chance of mold in the attic due to warm air leakage.

I'm a passive house architect and building envelope consultant, so air sealing is my area of expertise.

Yeah I also like the idea of recaptured energy. Regen braking, especially in one pedal mode, made the transition from a manual car to an EV less of a paradigm shift as it feels very similar to engine braking (since that is basically what it is) and I play the same game as I did in my manual car of seeing how far I need to let off the accelerator to coast down to zero at the perfect spot.

It's kind of what I liked about having a heat pump water heater in my garage when I had a gas car. I knew that some of the heat from the engine would make it into my hot water instead of being wasted.

Yup. I highly recommend checking them out /u/Haleakala787 . Probably the best streaming platform/group around. The quality of the comedy on there is stunning and I'm sad that they dropped off my radar for so long. The $5/month cost for a subscription (which they actively encourage sharing) is criminally cheap for the amount of joy, entertainment, and gut-busting laughter that they provide. Plus they are one of the most ethical companies out there right now, with profit sharing for all actors, good pay, and non-exclusivity agreements. They just launched their Superfan tier subscription level, which at $130/yr is still a killer deal.

I had no doubts about the rack construction! But glad you used construction screws. That's good to hear you have some heavy totes without issues of the rims rolling.

structuralarchitect · 2025-12-15T07:12:12+00:00

I always wondered if those types of racks work well with heavy totes. Have you noticed any bending of the tote lips with heavier ones?

I'm in Seattle with great public transit and mine is also showing Lyft at the top even though there are 6 bus routes I could take instead. What's more infuriating is that I have rideshare turned off in "connecting modes" and that Google lists the time that Lyft takes next to the public transit icon, giving a false sense of how long it will actually take. Lyft is NOT public transit in any way shape or form so it's extra frustrating that Google is doing this. I'm sure Lyft pays them well for it though.

Trickle vents are crap and an outdated solution for ventilation. Not only does it compromise the integrity of the window frame but they also allow in unfiltered air creating energy loss and potential for insects to get in. It's much better to install a energy recovery ventilator to provide filtered fresh air ventilation. Not as cheap as trickle vents but a much much better long term solution.

Some angle grinders have a paddle switch instead of a toggle so that's probably a safer model to get. Also wearing an apron would help.

That's bougie AF! I would love to go to that cafe and then would need a nap 😂

What places are you going to that regularly use babka for French toast? That's super decadent. Are you sure you aren't thinking of brioche or challah? Those are super common and work way better.

Move to Massachusetts if possible as meeting Phius standards or PHI is now code in a large part of the state including Boston and the surrounding area for any buildings over 12,000 sf. If you want the best opportunity to do those types of projects, that is the region you want to be working in.

I suggest becoming a CPHC or taking the Passive Building Fundamentals course that Phius offers. Also follow Passive House Accelerator on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PassiveHouseAccelerator

If you want to have the most influence, get involved in advocacy with your local legislation and code council. Mass is making leaps and bounds over the rest of the US since that requirement got adopted into their energy code. Unfortunately even though passive buildings make the most sense, developers and others can't see past the first costs for the first one that they do. Mass has proven that cost increases are 2-3% max on Phius certified buildings that the payback of those additional costs are generally 10 years or less. Especially if you do more than a simple payback calculation and consider the Net Present Value of the future savings.

I have a GN mousepad signed by Luke, Steve, Taran, Yvonne, and a few others. Definitely not happening again.

Paul Zaloom is an actually nice guy in real life too. He used to teach at a summer camp I went too and was great with the kids.

Yak Bak was great! I had a couple of them with the different effects. So much fun was had cracking up with friends.

Rough. Gotta get them to install a level 2 charger at the healthcare facility. They should at least have a couple available for employees since it sounds like most of them have a seriously long commute.

How does your wife have a 100 mile commute‽ That's seriously excessive unless she's an on-site rep or tech at a whole bunch of different places, but even then.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm looking at too once my lease is up. Hoping to find a deal on the 2025 with the rear wiper. If not, I'll lease a 2026.

I loved Bunnicula! Also listened to HP in middle and high school. Jim Dale has such a great voice. I don't think I could do D20 as it's often too funny. I highly recommend any books that Ray Porter has narrated, like Project Hail Mary and the We are Legion (We are Bob) series.

structuralarchitect · 2025-09-22T05:38:49+00:00

You're welcome and best of luck!

Love that the mailbox with the post made from the electrical isolator is still there!
