Because when you first bought 2x4's they were milled at all. People wanted milled lumber and mills were already set to rough cut a 2x4 that was 2"x4". But we couldn't have that so they just milled more off. I still don't know why people don't udnerstand the word nominal.

Apparently the word "normal" isn't taught anymore. Back to your nanny state that has to explain how everything works to you. A 10" beam isn't 10" either. It's called nominal, look up the word.

It's not labeled 2"x4". It's labeled as a 2x4, period. Waiting for this ass hattery to reach our industry. I work in steel. Ocasionally we sell to the general public when someone wants a drop (a piece we cut off of something else). Not all 10" beams are 10" deep. Some are 9-7/8" and...

Because it's incredibly stupid. Suprised they didn't get them on the length as well. An 8' 2x4 isn't 8' either. Normally you get an extra 1/4 to 3/4" of an inch to work with. I'm angry because eventually people who have half a brain wind up paying for it.

You're gonna be pissed when you find out 1/2" plywood isn't a 1/2" thick either. Maybe they should learn to read, nowhere does it say a 2"x4" piece of lumber or mention inches at all. A 12 volt car battery puts out a hell of a lot more than 12 volts as well, maybe I should sue......yeah maybe.

Been that way a long time, you rough cut it to 2x4 and mill 1/4" off each side give or take. You aren't buying 2"x4" or even paying for 2"x4". It's just a name.

Let me off the planet please. Hoping this is sarcasm but I can't find it. CA Judge May Have Created Huge Challenges For Contractors Been that way a VERY long time in the US. That's a rough cut nominal size before final dimensioning/planing (tho we do both at the same time now). Not a lawyer...

Herbicides and pesticeds are two differnet things. I know a guy who got sprayed a few times with overspay while spraing pine seedlings which they do a LOT now with southern yellow pine. The next day he can kill the grass in his yard if he takes a leak on it.

Come and gone apparently. UPS planes in the air now if you look at the sites to track what is in the air live. Probably nothing but when you see 9/11 and grounded planes seems odd.

The time posted in that came and went. It's 6:47 Zulu now. No idea, but why just UPS planes is what seems odd.

regardless of destination. 9/11 scare or what? Says airline computer issues but that seems odd but I admit I'm not knowleagable about how often this occurs. Just a coincidence but what could cause them to ground ALL UPS flights? Someone suggested that airline computer issues was code for a...

This has been a while by sister lived in a very rural area. They liked it a lot. They lived adjacent to farm/open land in a town of 325. They built some sort of low income housing on it. The nearest store is 25 miles away, no gas station either. It went to shit rather fast. They literally had to...

As long as you don't vaccinate them they will be OK.

I don't like the smell of chicken shit and in some cases human shit sprayed on crops, that's why I live where people farm trees. Plant once, thin in 10 years and cut em down and start over 15 after that. Also the land I own that I grow trees on that is income producing I only pay $3/acre...

I would be more worried that you live next to land that hasn't been developed, if you think a farm is bad just wait. I live in a very rural area and the odds of the land around me becoming developed anytime soon is very low, but if you live near a town/metro area that is expanding just be...

I lived north of Pensacola for a year in a rural area. I liked it. Town was close. It was big horse country. My neighbor had his own 4 hole golf course, a pair of par 3's and a par 4 and a 5. I played on it every so often. Life wasn't bad at all.

There's a guy with a radio show who actively encourages his audience to SWAT people who own firearms, open carry, conceal carry etc...in the hopes they have a shootout with the cops. This Deranged Radio Show Host Wants To Trick Police Into Killing Open Carrier Protesters - Bearing Arms...

I guess I missed it, but unless you already work for them how do they even know what you make now to compare it to? Someone once tried to make me an offer based on what they thought my house cost. LOL. I guess because I have never worked in the corporate world I never worried about. Ask what...

Bust on the job offer. They didn't want to put a contract in writing. I do everything on long term contract. Once took a job and worked one day and got paid for a year because they were idiots. Oh well, still on paid leave for a few more months.

Possibly, but it was well covered in a well respected publication and they had a multi page write up when he offed himself about what happened and how his problems with his vision drove him over the edge. But whatever.

If I had training wheels I would use them lol. I bet I would look really cool on my full suspension Kona mountain bike with training wheels.

Between January and now I lost the ability to walk, use my left arm and have any balance at all. Got most of it back now. And yes my lawn is 4 acres and it would have what would be considered berms if they were on the track, but I'm gonna plan on sticking to the flat parts to start

Wish me luck, going to try and get on and at try to ride around the yard tomorrow for the first time since January. I hope it's literally like they say, it's like riding a bike you never forget how lol.

It was a big deal. I remember reading the obituary and they had been taking up donations for him for a long time, he was a big time contributor and writer in this particular hobby. I knew him from the forum but he also wrote for a couple of the mags that followed the hobby as well. Probably...

A college friend had it done about 15 years ago and it never really worked out. After that I just decided to keep wearing glasses forever. On another large forum I belong to a guy had it done and they totally screwed him. I'm not sure what the problem was. He sold everything he owned trying...

I haven't had the problem at a dealership most people do apparently. The dealer I buy from normally stocks about 20 trucks and 1 car in the show room. I bought a new 2008 truck, sticker was $35k and change. I wrote a check for $26k and change, it was an extra cab and it sat there 6 months during...

Too bad they can't do that for the entire conference. There's a lot of teams that sure made a lot more money on bowl game payouts in the SEC the last 10 years since it's an equal split (minus expenses). Not sure how much extra you get for playing in the new playoff.

Bo better start working on his resume.

Complicated lol. I have set to down and compare the pros and cons. The obvious pros are more money (base salary) and better benefits. The cons are I would have to move, but be closer to my other home I own - too far to commute but I could make weekends there easier. Another con is it's more...

Got a job offer today while I'm still on paid leave till after the first of the year....

Dunno, never lived in an apartment but from what I've seen most of the newer ones here you get a garage. Guy I am working with who is here temporarily has one. Since he lives alone he just opens up the other door for a guest since he only has one car.

Why shocked? You fill out form 4473 and they do an instant background check, no problems you go home with your gun. Lots of states don't require it period. Unless you get a federal hold when they do the federal check and then if it doens't come back clear in X days you get it regardless. In...

I can believe it, considering last week I saw where they called out the SWAT team for a guy walking on campus in CA I believe who had an umbrellas. The pics were unreal, 1/2 the team was using no trigger discipline at all. Suprised someone didn't get shot.

Most states do not have registration. When the cops find a gun or recover one they go back to the maker of the gun and go from there, the distributor etc...till they end up at the FFL who sold it and did the paperwork. Then they can find the owner from that info assuming it hasn't been sold...

No.

Sad day for Tiger fans.

Apparently you can break into a home to rob it now and if they shoot you or you get injured inside the house you can sue them for that as well.

I used to have a professor that said if you want to be average go home and stick your feet in the oven and your head in the freezer and somewhere you'll be average.

Good thing I only got to watch the first half. But from the recap it sounded like a typical LSU game. Hang on for the fourth quarter and beat the defense down till they tire out and then go to town.
