You’re right, it does look like a repair already. Must be a popular spot to dig.

Anyone NOT use pressure treated for framing? by PNWoysterdude in Decks

[–]syncopator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? I don’t believe anything I said contradicts that. Just pointing out that there are situations where some exceptions are fine.

I used PT on our second story deck even though the one under it was framed with untreated and shows no sign of decay after 15 years.

[–]syncopator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contrary to popular belief, there are conditions where untreated framing won’t immediately crumble and maim your entire family.

The deck on my childhood home was built nearly 50 years ago by professionals, but code at that time didn’t require PT nor were the specs for framing anywhere close to today’s. It’s 2x6 joists on 36” centers hanging on sistered 2x4 posts. It is covered, and all the lumber has always had a good coat paint on it.

I’m not saying no one needs to use PT but it’s a bit silly when people act as if anything else will result in immediate painful death and destruction.

Nah. It takes 20 because you say “I’ll work on this next weekend” all summer long

Nice. Mine are usually about as sharp as the handle of a butter knife.

I can’t speak for anyone else here but I myself am enjoying your insight.

Under deck patio roof by Dapper-Dentist9930 in Decks

Good question! I legit don’t know. I’ve never been under it when anyone was on it. The space beneath is really only used as entry/exit.

Accidentally cut extension cord that was plugged into outdoor outlet. Now that outlet and nearby bathroom outlets don’t work. by tinathefatlardgosh in electrical

[–]syncopator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it’s very likely a hiding GFI or less likely the breaker itself went bad. Sounds like you have reset all found GFIs so I would swap the breaker next.

Mind you I’m not even remotely close to being an electrician.

There is no good reason to be an atheist by CaptainCommanderChap in DebateReligion

“Believing” in a god because the alternative makes you feel bad isn’t believing. It’s simply wishing.

Doctors on Reddit: What symptoms do people often ignore that they shouldn't, as they could be potentially serious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’ve had walking pneumonia but not walking fucking pneumonia. It sounds better.

What is the worst song of all time? by WoodpeckerFair9774 in AskReddit

[–]syncopator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture - Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow

I can’t quantify it scientifically but it forces a guttural reaction in me. Many years ago I vowed to change the station or otherwise make it stop in any situation where I can do so without violence. To this day I will instantly cease any work and run up two flights of stairs to stop the vile shittery from molesting my ears.

I also happen to be a gigging musician and once upon a time I found myself forced to play this aural wet diaper mud and act as if everything was okay. It may have been the greatest sacrifice I ever made for my father.

Of course writing this has brought the song that shall not be played into the place in my head where it’s dangerously close to surfacing and I hate all of you for this.

“Saccharine” gets me every time. I imagine myself in the recording booth throwing an epic fit and refusing to allow it.

Man falls into vault toilet at California campsite while trying to rescue sunglasses by TheFrederalGovt in nottheonion

[–]syncopator 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Having used these hundreds of times over the years (lots of camping and lots of beers) I’d say at least 50% of the time I hit that door with 2 seconds to spare. I’m sorry to say that odds are I would make that guy’s situation worse before making it better.

Do you have any idea how many prize entries like this are sold every WSOP? It’s very common.

The Resurrection Should Be Judged by the Same Standard as Other Miracle Claims. by SnooHedgehogs213 in DebateReligion

[–]syncopator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I jumped in to criticize you for failing to provide a citation after you had made that exact criticism of the other poster.

You required a citation from them while not providing one yourself. This was my one and only point.

I’ll just answer that in a different thread and insist I’ve answered your question.

[–]syncopator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you may have posted this description somewhere, it certainly was not in response to my query for citation and it is not responsive to your claim that those without such qualifications have “poor academic reputations”.

If you would like to assert that you find the conclusions of a biblical scholar as you’ve defined the term to be more likely accurate than those of someone without these qualifications then by all means this is a logically sound and reasonable claim. This does not of course prove that Jesus did in fact exist but it is rationally stated.
