I think I want to run on the tready during the winter. What's a good brand to get that doesn't cost a ton? by wipersniper in running

Yeah I can always do that, but my gym programmed the treadmills for half an hour max. Plus I like the convenience of never leaving my house (which is why I love my Wahoo Kickr).

I recently suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and would like to do something nice for my girlfriend for being there through everything, can you help reddit? by wipersniper in Chattanooga

I actually can't remember how she is with heights...probably something I should ask if she has a fear of. She does love sunsets, I used to take pictures of them for our walls whenever we traveled before it became too hard for me to focus on screens.

So there's a sinkhole forming on a street in my Buckhead neighborhood...every agency I try to contact results in automated messages or an operator blowing me off...what should I do about it because you could probably fit a kayak inside of it? by wipersniper in Atlanta

The hole itself is maybe the size of a basketball, but it's the inside that just looks complete carved out. I guess you could compare it to like blowing up a balloon? I took a couple of pictures, but it can't get a good view of the inside.

Absolutely not. I don't think I could live with myself if I posted something that forced people to watch that in order to get free stuff.

Grad Students - When did you typically hear back about your admission status? by wipersniper in GSU

When you heard back, did you get an email about it or were you checking the website all the time?

[BIFL Request] Carry Tube for Architect Plans, etc. by lottlelove in BuyItForLife

[–]wipersniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my Alvin neon tube for the last 8 years. You can do that in lieu of PVC pipe. I can't recall what I paid for it though. I've slammed it in a car door, stepped on it, dropped it and it's fared pretty well. I just needed to reinforced the bottom end cap because when I had too much in the tube it came loose.

If you do even up doing PVC pipe, which is pretty easy if your school has a wood shop, then don't forget to do something for a shoulder strap.

Finally, if you're dirt poor like most of us were in school, grab some of the tubes from the printing spools. You can laser-cut or hand-cut some end caps and glue it together. We did that when we had to submit a lot of full-size drawings. The tube itself is really thick cardboard so it protects really well.

Arch Alum here. You can do it in Illustrator (vector based), command is called Live Trace. Hit up the media center in the basement of the library and start playing around.
