Comment on Analog problems require kickass solutions
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 months agoall I’ve said is that drywall is a silly argument in a case like this especially since it didn’t have anything to do with the wall in the first place.
It’s a silly argument… Unless copper wire is behind drywall.
By the way, drywall is used in Europe, it’s just called plasterboard.

I’ve never said it wasn’t user in Europe, just that I haven’t seen it. Where I’m from we quite literally just call it Gypsum, you need to read what I’m literally saying and not derive off of it.
Copper wire can be found in excess in a lot of access panels and such, like the other commenter said.

I see… so drywall is an American thing because they call it gypsum where you live and Radio Shack is an American thing because it wasn’t in Europe. You’re right, I was only talking about American things.

Drywall is an American thing because it is only popular there, in other countries it is reserved for certain cheaper constructions and quite rare.
Radio Shack as the name wasn’t a thing in Europe, Tandy and others were.

Is this based on “what you have seen?”
Yes, we’ve already established that, according to you, “not a thing in Europe but a thing in other countries including America” makes something an “American thing.”
