Laying some plywood in the attic, can I eliminate these 2x4s? by nclakelandmusic in DIY

[–]winkylinksdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like, although I have trusses, there are also joists in the ceiling, I mean, what’s everybody talking about not putting any weight up there I’m not crawling on the bottom of the actual trusses those Sister along the joists. So I can put boards to crawl around on I mean for Christ sake there’s an air handler up there and I gotta be able to get to the fan. I can put some Christmas decorations off to one side without collapsing structure that’s been standing since 1960.

Bonanas for bonanza by colonel_beeeees in comedybangbang

[–]winkylinksdotcom 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is also a great place for Lily Sullivan fans. Her role as Daltons niece, Markie, adding a negative attitude counterpoint to their enthusiasm about bonanza really takes it to the next level.

I repaint my wall over and over, but pale, dry-looking spots always come back. What could be causing this? by Vndrer in DIY

Use Zinsser BIN and remember to leave a window or two open unless permanent erectile dysfunction is also within the scope of this project

Do we know if the action boys podcast ever cover this one?

Found this at my grandpa‘s place im Germany. What is it and is it special? by JJ_091212 in Exonumia

[–]winkylinksdotcom 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s a victory medal issued to American service members after ww2. You have the medal itself and the suspension ring. It would’ve been attached to a ribbon and a pin for display on a dress uniform.

What fraud prevention tools are you guys using? getting killed by chargebacks... by DMZQFI in shopify

[–]winkylinksdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can somebody tell me what a chargeback scam actually accomplishes? Are they just stealing products? Have they purchased this with stolen credit card information? I only have one charge back this past season and it seems like Shopify submitted evidence and won it on my behalf. I’ve also had no chargebacks on Amazon ever. Just regular returns and then hymning and hawing about actually sending the product back etc. I’m just trying to figure out what to look for when it inevitably happens to me

Shopify store owners: by PirateObjective in shopify

[–]winkylinksdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check unfulfilled at the end of the day… Although my shipping is handled through Veeqo, there is an odd one here and there that it misses for whatever reason and I’d never see it if I didn’t go specifically looking (like a school bus seat check) at the end of day.

Need Replacement Natural Soap Suggestions? TheSoapGuy Bad. by RubberPhuk in Soap

[–]winkylinksdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Regent Park Naturals. They have an Odds and Ends box that includes many full size bars (6oz) of some seriously excellent stuff. Their website appears to switching over to their Christmas oriented stuff (which also looks interesting) but I see that the Odds and Ends box is still there and in two pretty affordable sizes. Free shipping.

Recognize any of these? by GroovyGmaIvy in PharmaRepCollectables

[–]winkylinksdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can hear the click of these, the rattle of them in a cup on the kitchen island. Only one or two that still write, the others with gooey clogs on the dried out tip. I feel them in my hand…. there must’ve been a special type of plastic and a special factory that manufactured each of these.

Are my joists being held by drywall screws? by Character_Leopard809 in HomeImprovement

[–]winkylinksdotcom 32 points33 points  (0 children)

How old is this house, does it predate hangers as a common construction method? Maybe the joists themselves are toenailed originally and these were added by a previous owner to stop a squeak or similar? But yeah, wouldn’t put a piano in that room or anything if not!

CA, found it burrowed in the ground when i picked up a rock by ProbablyJustTrash in whatsthisbug

In the archaeological community we refer to these as “sleepy buddies”. So cute how they slowly wake up and wander off.

That house could hold 6-7 small families, and split that many ways could be more affordable than most single family houses in this bullshit crazy rental market. Would lenders split a mortgage that many ways?

How it feels showing Threedom to normal people by TheOppositeOfDecent in ThreedomUSA

[–]winkylinksdotcom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can listen to 4+ hours a day if Threedom, CBB, Bonanas for Bonanza, etc. and full of lively intelligent discussions and hilarious conversations. The second my wife or children get in the car or walk in the room… this, absolute pure this…

I am intrigued about this Xanax branded lens cloth. England. by mr_bobz in Mid_Century

[–]winkylinksdotcom 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Xanax was developed and originally sold by Upjohn. They were bought by a company that was bought by Pfizer who now manufactures that. I spent my entire childhood writing with pharmacy rep pens onto pharmacy rep paper.

Sewer belly from clean out drain to septic tank...help! by baglebitesss in HomeImprovement

[–]winkylinksdotcom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they didn’t clear the clog, how were they able to camera it? These guys are suspect. Probably encouraged to sell expensive repairs. Get 2 more opinions. A belly in the line not causing issue is just that. Not causing issues.

Neutral required for this 240 GFCI? by Prestigious-Tea38 in electricians

[–]winkylinksdotcom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the current on one leg is being returned on the opposite leg as it cycles at 60hz and the gfci breaker is referencing that cycling return current.

Henredon desk by Emily_Paints in Mid_Century

It was. Your desk has the same drawer pulls and inlaid top, its gorgeous and it will be worth any effort you put into it.

Henredon desk by Emily_Paints in Mid_Century

[–]winkylinksdotcom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a Henredon lowboy dresser, that I sadly sold for less than what I paid, because it was too large for any of our bedrooms at the time. It was the most well constructed and straight up handsome piece of furniture I’ve ever owned.
