    Door is going to get painted anyway, so I'm not worried about exposed dowels. I can always use filler if it comes to that. Concerns noted and shared on hardware location. I'm going to give it a shot because all the specialty door places are charging $1000+ for anything comparable. This is to...

    So I need to replace a 30x80 exterior door. Forwhatever reason, such doors do not exist within 100 miles of me. Link below is a good match for current damaged door, but it's obviously too wide. If this is indeed solid wood, do you guys think I could get away with cutting an inch off the stiles...

    I can't seem to find a link now, but I remember reading a few days ago that a new Nvidia driver update was causing performance issues. Perhaps that?

    I'm still driving the 02 Accord I asked about a few pages back. It's been through Boston winters and Atlanta/LA summers parked outdoors, the only weathering issue is a bit of burn on the clear coat on the rear bumper and pitting on the steering wheel. All the other plastic parts feel like new...

    It's because the model is predicting pixel colors, not "drawing hands". It doesn't actually know what a hand looks like, except in the sense of some latent multidimensional statistical abstraction. In the current tools there's no executive oversight going "dude, that's a hand and you put eight...

    Vagner was the highlight of that tournament. Wins his division, called for his medal, sees the USADA guy, and immediately nopes out the airport at full speed. "Sorry gotta catch a flight bro!" Lol.

    Follow-up: Problem identified as ground fault in a hidden subterranean line between the main house and the pool. Some previous owner DIY'd the electrical work, total shitshow when we opened the junction box, which was behind finished drywall. Full circuit load straight into the dirt. Whee.

    IMO they should do the exact opposite. Put everyone on roids under doctor supervision.

    I was venting a bit and speaking loosely. I have a great relationship with my landlord and he's a been reasonable guy. I will of course speak to him proactively and not leave the problem financially unresolved before vacating. If he's a dick about it I'll just eat the loss and think worse of...

    Yeah something is definitely fucked. Landlord knows the problem and will get an electrician. Fortunately we just bought a house and are moving out at the end of the month anyway. I'm going to tell him to pound sand on this electric bill.

    Fuck if I know, man. All I can tell you is that the breaker is hot to the touch and when I shut it off the meter shows a 2.5 kW drop. Usage spikes back up instantly when I turn the breaker back on. The circuit is only connected to a single overhead light and a couple outlets with nothing in...

    Just got a $1300 power bill at my rental house. Pretty sure there's a leak to ground on one of the circuits, since the lights in my master closet are drawing ~2.5 kW even when they're off. I'm surprised nothing has caught fire...

    Even if we're pessimistic there's no reason not to reserve final judgement until we get our hands on it. Easy enough not to play the game if it turns out to be a shitpile. Worst case I'm out a couple hours for the open beta.

    They can, but it more or less requires that the recipient not respect their own trachea. As I said, I've had it happen to me hundreds of times. I just tap and it's fine.

    Fedor carried plenty of gut and he was fine. Jones doesn't have enough extra mass that it makes him heavier to himself, especially if he's not trying for a cardio machine strategy in this fight.

    You need PT. Propping yourself up might get some short-term relief but won't address the fundamental issue of muscular imbalance/weakness. My wife was suffering from severe back pain for a couple months and had a total turnaround in 1-2 sessions. She's in good athletic shape but had a weak...
