Ashcans posted:Like if you have a black mamba in your house, you may have a rat problem, but you should absolutely get rid of the snake that may kill you despite that. There are less risky ways to handle the rats. This is the cool and right answer. Judge each spider on its individual merits, and find a less risky way to take care of your bugs than a black widow biting you because you spooked it. hth

The fact that there's this much debate over 2/5ths of a pound of meat when I do see a distressingly large number of scales in ounces is just one more reason why the metric system is superior by every conceivable measure. This post brought to you by an American, in case anyone is doubting my authority on the stupidity of Freedom Units. And also, to be clear, the poster asking for 2/5ths is the rear end in a top hat. edit: lovely snipe. Mods, please change either my name or the thread name to "2/5ths of a pound of meat"

wooger posted:Thanks, now I have a fetish for watching posh women descend dangerously steep staircases. A few years ago I lived in a place where the only stair access to my room was what I affectionately called "murder stairs." They were the servant's stairs described in the video, and hoo boy. They were a popular tour spot when we had parties.

As someone who is in a fairly detailed line of work right now, it's heartening to see people in other industries who take detail work like inspections deathly seriously.

insta posted:In ~ 2010, I had a gaming PC with dual watercooled overclocked 8800GTX GPUs and an Opteron processor. It drew a staggering amount of power when booting up a game, but at the desktop it idled fine. The apartment I was in put like 14 outlets on one breaker (which would trip occasionally), so most power draw from plug-in devices went through that circuit. One night, I started Oblivion, and the lights flickered and I heard a "bzzft" noise from elsewhere. The PC shut down, but the lights kept flickering. I went to the breaker box, and the offending circuit was spraying sparks out the front of the breaker switch. I smacked it with a broom handle until it shut off, and called emergency maintenance. I guess you must have lived in my unit back in 2010. Good news is the breaker panel doesn't spray sparks anymore. Bad news is that the wiring diagram is still nonsense and my bedroom on the 2nd floor west wall is connecting to a basement living room on the southeast wall, and so the breaker trips when someone decides they want to run a vacuum on that circuit. I have no idea about intermediate connections, but I suspect they are just as goofy.

The Bloop posted:Indeed I'm the failed attempt at a toenail joint. Also I feel like the hockey puck fill was someone trying to one-up a ramen repair and failing miserably. Hey, hold up... Now THAT's a nail. I can't actually tell what was trying to be accomplished here with the wall framing. I have a general notion of what it is supposed to look like, but the random boards and the fact the studs have been sawn through for nogging (i think that's the term?) rather than the other way around is loving with me.

Blindeye posted:That; there's a fairly significant loading (I think 90 pounds laterally?) that those need to resist and they just can't. I guarantee they're also held in by two screws or something. Do you have anything to show what designed properly looks like? I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what a properly secure railing should look like as a non-DIY non-carpentry person.

D-LINK posted:There's no newel post or similar hefty board to brace the rail at the foot of the stairs, and it doesn't appear to be sufficiently attached at the house end either. The crooked balusters will fail because they are crooked and weight will be distributed unevenly instead of straight down. Looks like I was halfway there then: my first thought was that the railing needed to be anchored to the side of the house. What I was fishing for was a discussion on proper railing design because it isn't something I've ever had to interact with but seems like something I should know.

Youth Decay posted:I feel like it's crappy construction to have every single inch of floor space in a house covered in carpet but I wasn't alive in the 70s so maybe I just don't understand. The bathroom paneling in the last shot looks like something that was in the cheap rear end mobile home I grew up in. Also, drop ceiling? Is that in the basement or something? It's wildly different from the rest of the house which aside from the dumbshit carpeting isn't that awful.
