You could just put the the floor joist on your concrete deals and put the floor right down on that without having a floor joist and a support under it on the concrete deal. Put them on each end or even if you want one in the middle and then fill in level at the top with joist hangers using short...

The maximum span for a 2x4 floor joist assuming it's no.2 southern yellow pine is only 5' at 16" centers. If you go up to 2x6 is just under 10' with the same deflection for a given load. Big difference. The last shop I built here at the house I used 2x6 No.2 for the floor joist and went 8'...

Murder is good for the economy.

Personally I find fork over rated and I've fished all the lakes in East, TX a LOT. College I only had class M-T- and 1/2 day on Wed. so I fished a lot. It's good if you can fish in the week during the spawn otherwise too many people, too many out of staters that don't have a clue etc... I...

I think they have gone up in price. I actually got the first one they built for taking promotional pictures when they first came out in 2008 or 2009 I can't remember. I paid $2,200 for it. Not something you want to carry and portage a lot since it's heavy. But it's nice for bass fishing since...

Leave it to a German to think of that. It might not be available on the EU servers.

Me? Now I've never gone after really big fish. Maybe 25 pound redfish. I've only fished saltwater with it a few times. If it's calm I can stand in my kayak because it's a huge kayak. I mostly got it for freshwater fishing when I lived in East Texas on all of the above mentioned lakes. Even the...

I have a hobie pro angler. I find it amusing that you think Austin is surrounded by some of the best bass fishing TX lol. It's not bad but seriously. I live in the hill country now not far from Austin. At best I would say the bass fishing is "OK". It's nothing like when I lived minutes from...

Well if it's on a slab that's a big issue right there, putting in a new drain. If it's over floor joist that is an issue if you have to go perpindulcar to them and make cuts for the drain. Either way not good.

Video of robot fails at DARPA Robot Challenge followed by some normal coverage. Best part of 2nd video starts around 3:00:00 with practical challanges.

I'm not too worried about it, just seemed odd. I already knew the job they called about was open as there are only a limited number of people who do what I do. I didn't have an agreement thru the original recruiter. I just knew that the company was looking to hire X and someone who worked...

Israeli super sherman coming at some point. Not sure if it's a premium or what, but it has a 90mm gun.

Moving a toilet would be bad/difficult. Followed by moving the controls for the shower/tub which would require either gutting the wall on that side or cutting an access from the rear on the other side. Depending on how old the valves are in the wall already. Lots of times on older stuff they...

Pad of graph paper. I have been a designer using AutoCad for 25 years and still use it daily. I would rather sit down with a pad of graph paper and throw ideas around than sit down and start from zero in a cad package. Once you get the rough idea down then throw into a cad package to work out...

Recruiters are selling resumes to other recruiters now I guess. I applied for a job thru a recuiter about 6 months ago. The company hired me direct in a different posistion and bypassed the recruiter. The recruiter said it wasn't a big deal since they staff a large portion of our shop and wanted...

I would only do a breast or two or something similar. Not an entire duck.

I had a '74 Blazer I got from my family whoboughtit new. I drove it all thru high school as my 2nd car. It was great, take the top off and have an open top. Or put the canvas bimini type top on to get out of the sun. Much like this one except it was blue, similar size tires on it. It lasted...

If it was a Blazer I would be all over it.

Former Obama Spokesman Robert Gibbs Hired by McDonalds - NBC News How about just make food people want to eat in a place they want to eat at?

2nd largest purchse most people will make in their lifetime, let's not talk about them or research or whatever.

Pretty sure you've never had sex in a toaster either.

How many toasters give you freedom? Do you sit at the toaster using it for hours a week or sometimes hours a day?

Don't let any treated lumber stay in contact with the ground. It's no longer the treated lumber of the past since they stopped using chromated copper arsenate to treat it.

Sounds like the first step of people who think steak comes from the grocery store and not cows.

Well the commute to the office is about 3-5 minutes so not a big deal. But I make about a 6-7 hour trip every 4-6 weeks to see family and that would get old in a hurry considering the timing. If I leave at 11 on Friday when I get off work I get there right in time for an hour or more of sitting...

Every MRI I get I ask for the CD so I can view it at home and have it with me if I'm out of town since they do them to compare the last one. Saves time.

You know if we're gonna make genetically modified animals...I've said for 20 years I would do a miniture longhorn. They have miniature horses so why not? Sell it to the thousands of people who went to UT and have a mini 2 acre ranch in the hill country and profit. Lots of doctors, lawyers, and...

It's a 2009 I think, she hasn't had any problems with it other than regular maintenance. It's not that I hate it for the performance part. I just fucking hate the entire paddle shifter deal.

What does the town of Port Angeles "win" if they are first, or basically what's the point?

Maserati GT. No I've never had it to 185.

KFC Is Going to Court to Dispel Rumors of GMO Spider Chickens - Yahoo News

I can't operate one currently which is why I started looking at autos. I've driven a manual for most of my life so it's not like I never learned. Because I have a medical deal that mimics MS my left leg really isn't in shape to drive a manual for a while. It will recover 100% they tell me, but I...

Vehicle shopping again with a little more gusto. Feel less manly looking at sports cars or semi sports cars like the 370z with an auto but I guess that's life. Kind of suprised there are that many autos on the lot.
