I tried naming my cars and it was always awkward. Cars earn names from friends, which is why I have had trucks named "dirty POS", "toilet Jeep", and, well, the Honcho got its name at the factory.

I just run conduit everywhere so no one ever has to open the walls or fish anything through anything but a conduit ever again. Futureproof.

I used to drive 68 miles each way through Boston area traffic for work. I miss that job but not the commute. It got even worse once I met my wife, because she worked in Worcester so we would carpool and the total distance went up to 85 miles each way. There were days when I left for work at 7am and got there at 10, and left work at 7 and got home at 9.

Anything up to about 40 minutes each way I'm ok with, though I'd prefer less. My last commute was basically the nice easy 40 minutes of my previous nightmare commute, like 3 days a week I would literally see the brake lights ahead for the traffic jam I would have previously spent 1-2 hours sitting in just as I was moving right to take the exit for my new job. That was very satisfying.

I mean there's a good chance it is normal still. Level and pressure aren't very closely related until suddenly they are. I bet it would lose its poo poo if you parked on a steep hill with 1qt left, or cornered hard.

poo poo I expected the coup attempt since literally November 9 2016, and I knew it was in the cards if he won as soon as he started casting aspersions on the election he hadn't even lost yet that year. I just wasn't sure if it would be this election or next.

Libertiarism is rampant in IT and that is very much the core of a lot of the right wing idiot views. Science of course deals in reality so that tends to rule out most right wingers

Notice tho that the seditionists and most brain damaged Trumpists are not red neck trailer trash despite media stereotypes? The mostly are small business owners or resonably well off middle class. Only need to look at the ones being arrested to see that. Plus you know that tacticool poo poo aint cheap and a day off to try to beat up some congress critters aint availible to minimun wage working stiffs

There totally are a huge number of redneck trailer trash trumpets, the thing is they couldn't afford to take the time off and buy tickets to go start poo poo in the capital, mostly. The ones who could, yeah, they are middle class.

He's quieted down a lot since 2016 but was commenting dumb poo poo on your cousins thread about the coup last I checked. Unless I'm thinking of someone else. I ended up cutting off Joe (IIRC), some other guy from Friday nights, and Wally a long time ago, and Jeremy got mad at my "hardcore marxist leninist bullshit" and removed me recently.

Yeah that's the one :sigh:

I hadn't heard that about Wally. That blows... Last thing I heard was about the DUI after the night we egged him into doing burnouts, and then he was going all unhinged about politics on one of your posts in like 2016 and I just said gently caress it and removed him.

Engineered beam fire resistance sucks. 5-6 minutes before they fail. Similar to the poor fire resistance of a truss. Not what I want to be sleeping on.

Its R21 from the wall and exceeds the strength requirements. I will put foam board under the metal siding too. But I remain skeptical. Windows are ordered so its a little late to change or so the contractor says.

I never even considered that, drat. I guess I'll try to stick with traditional framing techniques for our next place after all... Was thinking LVLs would figure into it but I don't like low fire resistance.

The issue is that while the first shot often does give immunity, the second is needed to remind the system that it needs to actually remember this one for a long time. At least from what I read. So essentially the first shot won't protect you for very long.

E: you snuck that in while I was writing this, lol

That's a good point. I won't be using any in areas where they could be exposed to fire easily unless it's in the walls and ceilings anyways.

God I wish you could.

Actually, when I found out that one of the beams holding the house up was just.... gone I might have been able to get my house condemned, or at least had insurance pay for the repairs and temporary living arrangements.

I was on watch overnight last week for a pretty huge storm last week, 70mph wind gusts, landslides everywhere, and I was just hoping I'd come back and my house would be sitting at the bottom of the hill, or a tree would have fallen on it.

My Insurance is agreed replacement value, and I could build a hell of a house for that amount, and have enough left over to have someone put a 40' by 40' steel frame shop on the property.

Yeah that place is a wreck and I am amazed by the fuckery your previous owners committed every time you post.

The sad thing is just how many houses are out there that are at least this bad and the owners are just happily living in them and paying people to patch up dumb poo poo when they should be doing what you are doing.

Or burning it down, but, well, you know...

That's fair I guess. Also worth noting that the Pew numbers I edited in are particularly damning, even assuming it's all out of touch boomers who mainline Fox all day, it's only 23% positive at all and of that, only 8% say he's doing excellent. And a whopping 68% want him to stop being in politics at all.

I haven't drank more than a sip of hard alcohol since New Year's Eve 2012. I was a pretty hard drinker till then, but I was internet webcam drinking with the old Bachelor Thread crew and another group and overdid it really badly. Started out with Dr mcgillicuddy mint which is 40 proof and hard to really get in trouble with, but ran out and unfortunately I had reached the point where short term memory and ability to taste alcohol were both minimal. I grabbed a bottle of ice 101 and a few sips later forgot that it was 100 proof not 40. Blacked out a little while later (I'm not too clear on exactly when, I'm guessing an hour or two) and the only memories I have after that are waking up in my chair painfully aware of the fact that I needed to vomit IMMEDIATELY, doing so doubled up over the railing in my stairwell directly into a pile of moldy plaster demolition debris, then another 45 seconds of clarity at another uncertain point in the timeline, doubled up over the fence puking into the neighbors yard. I have no idea how I got outside or back in for that matter. Then I woke up at like noon and hid under the covers with my eyes closed until like 9pm.

Have barely drank since then. Maybe a few beers with dinner, but that's about it. I couldn't even stand the smell of alcohol for like 6 months.

There are two kinds of IoT people in the world:
- I love python! I own 47 raspberry pis! I have every smart device on the planet and my mood lighting changes color!
- everything I own is hardwired if possible, the S in IoT stands for Security, and there's a shotgun in the corner just in case the printer makes a funny noise.

My lighting may not be fancy but it hasn't allowed anyone to steal my wifi credentials and it works even if the manufacturer gets acquired and decides to tell customers to go gently caress themselves and no one has decided to try for a monthly ransom for its continued functioning either.

^ and that's why short trading can get you in a lot of trouble - unlike normal trading where worst case you lose 100% of what you paid... With short trading, you can theoretically have infinite losses because the price could have gone to any value.

If they sold short at $5 and it goes to $300 by the time they have to close out their deals, they lose $295 on their $5 deal.

Because the gap in credulity between those with "left leaning" beliefs that tend to be based in factual events and those with "right leaning" beliefs that at best have a nodding acquaintance with facts results in skewed data such as that chart, which ranks OAN on the same plane as Daily Kos because they're rating it based on partisan readership, not on credibility of the stories or the ability of their users to differentiate between "news" articles and "opinion" articles.

Left leaning weirdos believe stupid poo poo like "eating animals is bad for the planet" and "everyone should ride a bike" and "more people should get a chance to vote".
Right leaning weirdos believe stupid poo poo like Qanon and Pizzagate and God-Emperor Trump Is Gonna Lock Her Up.

Regardless of your inherent political beliefs, there's a vast difference between the fundamental 'wrongness' of these two positions.

While you are correct, left leaning weirdos (who I count myself among, fair warning) typically freak out over things like nuclear energy, gluten in bread, and vaccine safety*. The truth does have a well known left wing slant, but that is not to say that there aren't bad and wrong opinions unsupported by science left of center.

* Edit: the right has been coming up on this one FAST for the last 8 to 10 years, but I still see more crunchy hippies ranting about it than fash and it's infuriating.
