Ugh, fucking heater has been on all damn night. Anyone know of a good way to determine where most of the heat is being lost? Or is this normal for these temperatures(-4 last night)? Note: I have a tankless water heater and baseboard heating. No idea if that applies or not. And no...

If you're a music fan, why would you use an EQ app that essentially changes how it sounds? This is like using bass boost on your Beats by Dre?

I thought humans couldn't digest cellulose. We lack the enzyme to break the acetal link. It's basically fiber.

Sorry, I have the habit of writing posts from my point of view and making assumptions others couldn't know. The "if then" in that first quote is just a way I talk. It wasn't meant as "if we eventually add baseboard heating, this isn't a problem, right?". Anyway, to simplify: Currently have...

Science behind this? Or was it that you just didn't drink a sugared drink? Really sounds like bullshit. You think if you could extract some magic blood sugar lowering medicine from soaking okra, some pharma giant couldn't do it as well? Remember to pound some baking soda the next time you...

Are you saying you can't toss chicken with a crock pot? Wuss.

I'm sure if you've kept on this thread, you know my opinion on such things. I prefer to have control over what I'm eating rather than not trust myself to eat something. Counting calories allowed me to do that. The control and knowledge substituted for whatever sweets I wasn't getting while...

I think I am confused about the fire code thing. How are cat5e cables a fire/toxic fume hazard if run parallel inside a joist pocket? I have baseboard heating, so at most, that vent was allowing air from the top level into the joist pocket. The bottom grate is sealed off, should it not be...

Why do you think you can't eat those things at all?

And you can see from the second pick the bottom part is blocked off. How much air can be really moving through there? I've taken a peak in the adjacent room that shares the same joist space and there's all sorts of electrical wiring. I guess I won't block it off completely, still gotta fit...

My wife got disability for her maternity leave. One of my biggest gripes about this country is how poorly we support people having kids relative to just about every other 1st world country. You're only ensured you get your job back after 6 weeks, no longer. And you can go on disability during...

Fat people bring good food! Feeders probably get a euphoric response from binge eating similar to doing drugs. Probably not on the same scale.

So what do they give those people who already got their shit together and are at a healthy weight?

The red arrows are correct in direction, almost placement too. If we use baseboard heating, do we have to worry about that fire code then? I'm planning on running it through the vent, then sideways over to another room which has suspended ceiling, then under the joists from there. Thanks...

But you already have a compromising photo of myself and my wife in the third photo! Joking aside, I was actually trying to avoid including personal stuff in the pictures. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when I have time to move stuff out of the way. Some googling makes me think it's a...

So, anyone know what the purpose of this is? Just a grate in the floor. To the right you can see the molding on an exterior wall and to the left the back of the entertainment center. It connects with this in the room below: I assume it has something to do with the fireplace in...

So here's my uTorrent(2.2.1) settings on a 30/5 pipe. Assume unchecked if not specified. 1920 max down 320 max up Apply rate limit to uTP connections 500 global max connections 100 max peers per torrent 8 upload slots per torrent use additional slots if speed under 90% of max 9...

You don't have a limited amount of sick days?

Wear a sweater bro. Or 10. I thought my house was drafty. I keep it 62(~10 outside) at night and last night I was measuring the duty cycle of the heater, 50%. No idea if that's good or not. What do you keep your temperature at and what's the duty cycle of your heater?

Make sure you weight yourself after those mega dumps. What are you putting in and on those salads? Grilled chicken in no way ensures the salad is good for you besides providing a decent amount of protein.

How many more potato vomits before you commit your eldest?

I'll give it a try, will post a screenshot of the overall stats when I get home.

Shouldn't you be digging up some WebMD article by now? Perhaps you should make the assumption that the OP has already tried talking to his child. Kids are stubborn, who knew!?!?! Sometimes talking doesn't work.

Can you quantify how much of a worthless poster you enjoy being?

If my kid could find a way around a MAC id ban from a password protected router, he/she is free to use all the internet he/she wants.

I'm new to this, so perhaps I don't understand terms that well, but I don't think where I would be drilling/cutting would be near the sill plate. The foundation doesn't come up that high. The wall I would ideally like to put the wall jack has joist(s?) running parallel underneath it. I'll...

I got into the cycle at the "wrong" time. It's still cheaper than continuing to pay VZW, but I plan to buy new phones only when the current Nexus line get discounted to move inventory in preparation for the refresh.

No way bro, way too easy to influence your own bet. Just mention cell theory, abiogenesis, and evolution and he'll go off. I've been playing this a bit for the first. While I hate the RNG aspect, I understand it's the nature of the game. But it's a really easy game to play while feeding...

Yes, I've limited my upload and download speeds to half of my pipe's speed. Max 500 global connections.

You're on the wrong end of yearly product cycle. The N5 came out in November. Battery life has been great for mine so far. Granted, I probably use mine MUCH less than other people and I shut off the cell radio when I'm at home. But, I didn't need to charge it over the weekend and that...

Was this on wifi? How much per month does your seedbox cost? I do agree, sometimes when downloading a torrent near the speed cap(which I've put at 50% of my pipe's cap), it will still cause the rest of the internet to go to shit. Steam can easily max out my actual pipe and it has no effect...

So...exterior walls, how do I do them? My TV is in a place where the closest interior wall is, by cable run, ~20 ft away. I took a look underneath the exterior wall in question and there's at least 1 joist in the way.

This is related to my post in the Home Improvement thread, in case anyone reads both threads. I've seen a lot of people post that they can't stream 1080p over wifi, and I would agree with them. It seems going from my desktop(802.11n, 2t2r) to my router to my boxee(802.11n 1t1r) with 720p can...

Nah, it is possible to be overweight/obese/morbidly obese/whatever and have normal cholesterol and triglycerides. Both of those stats are influenced by how you're currently eating and it's possible for someone to be fat, eating well, and just struggling to lose weight. It's not common, fat...

Wow, huge difference between the ones you have pictured and the one Ortega listed. How important is it to have a quality punch down tool or can I get by with a cheap one that comes with a patch panel(pictured)? One more attempt at the shopping list: Also, can't figure out if...

Thanks for pointing out the tool requirement Ortega. I didn't see anything on the monoprice website about needing one. I was worried that I would require a patch panel and two different types of cord to do this the "right" way. Much more money than I was intending spend to just fix my desktop...

$80 for a box of solid, $84 for a box of stranded. What do you mean, I can use it for other stuff?

IDK, I've read that stranded works better for the RJ45 plugs because the standard ones pierce the copper. You'd really get the 1k box? What would you do with it afterwards? No way I need that much cabling, not even close. Yes, there's cat6, but from what I've read, it's essentially being...

At the very least, I make sure the nutrition facts states cooked or uncooked, otherwise I ignore it. I usually go with USDA nutrition facts or the product I bought, if they have it.

Wondering if someone could check my shopping list to see if I'm buying the right stuff. Originally, I just wanted to run ethernet cable from my desktop to the router but now I've decided to spend a little more and do it(and most of the other rooms) properly I have a drywall saw on my...
