(Here’s my favorite) The gaps between the beam and joists are fine and eventually the house will settle and the joists will bear on the beam. Putting in shims would be pointless because they’d get crushed and compressed when the house settles. (He really told me to wait until your floor sags and it’ll line up)
Is the contractor planning to come back and fix all your cracked drywall/plaster for free? Half the point of installing additional supports is to prevent any further sagging. Whoever did this needs to find a new profession.

Nuclear Powered Steam Locomotives
Pros:
- Looks cool as hell.
- Only needs to be refuled every 25 years.
- It’s a steam locomotive.
- It’s a steam locomotive.
- Did I mention it’s a steam locomotive?
Cons:
- Have to replace the fireman with a nuclear engineer.
- Still have to stop to grease bearings and take on water periodically.
- Hazardous radioactive materials.
Pros clearly outweigh the cons. What are we waiting for?

I’ve heard it called a “suicide plug”. A common use for them is back feeding power from a generator into your homes electrical panel during extended power outages.
It can technically work but comes with major safety risks such as:
- Giving yourself a nasty shock.
- Electrical fire.
- Electrocuting anyone who comes in contact with the power line, i.e. a lineman who might assume the line is de-energized.
- Blowing up your generator when the power comes back on.
The proper way to do it would be to have a transfer switch and generator plug installed. The transfer switch guarantees that when you’re running on gen power, you’re not back feeding through the transformer out to the power line.

Tarrantula Hawk Wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has just been dropped into your bubble bath.
The first time I ever saw one of these it was dragging a paralyzed tarantula back to its nest. That big fucker stopped what it was doing, turned around, and stared at me like it was sizing me up. It then turned back around and continued dragging the tarantula across the ground like, “Oh. It’s just a human. Not an actual threat. No biggie.”
No biggie is right. No way in hell I was getting anywhere close to a 3 inch long wasp.

There are some subreddits that I miss but there’s also usually a lot less bullshit here. The giant “fuck you” to third party app developers was the last straw for me. I wasn’t even in that group but that pretty much told me where reddit was heading and I wasn’t willing to go along with it. But, there’s probably quite a few people here who still use Reddit. Either way, welcome!

Nope. They get screened out by a trash filter at the sewage treatment plant and then find their way into the landfill. Unfortunately, they frequently fail to make it to the plant and cause some nasty clogs.
If you have a septic tank in your back yard like I do, then you’re just playing a $25,000 game of Russian roulette.
It does not matter how big it says so on the package. “Flushable” wipes are NOT flushable.

Reminds me of my neighbors complaining some websites had “liberal views” on vaccines.
I didn’t even bother to ask what that meant because the phrase itself was so stupid. I just knew the explanation was going to be even stupider.

- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 4 weeks ago:
Self hosting is a great opportunity to learn about some popular technologies and even acquire a few sysadmin skills. Required knowledge of a self-hosted solutions tech stack is not gatekeeping any more than required knowledge of tools and building materials is gatekeeping when it comes to renovating your bathroom. In either scenario, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to be a much more difficult job.

That said, you should not be exposing any of your service to the public if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s a quick way to a bad time.

- Comment on Bad people and bullies usually have justified reasons for why they are doing bad things, so instead of blaming them, maybe sympathize with them. 5 weeks ago:
I grew up in a family with a cycle of abuse.
I now understand why my dad was as angry and violent as he was. It honestly made me feel sorry for him and made it easier to forgive him. But in no way did it excuse or justify his actions. What he did was still wrong.
- Comment on Protip: Don't lose count 5 weeks ago:
Pro Tip:
If you ever find yourself in the position of having a pistol shoved in your face and you cannot safely escape, it is possible to disarm your assailant.
Quickly grab the wrist or forearm of the hand holding the weapon with one hand and grab the weapon’s muzzle with your other hand. While directing the weapon away from your body, push down on the muzzle like a lever. Your assailant will not be able to maintain their grip on the weapon. Be prepared for the to discharge because it probably will. If you decide to attempt this maneuver, DO NOT hesitate or you will probably get shot.

Virtualization really helps with reliability. In particular, by allowing you to quickly take snapshots before doing anything destructive and by streamlining backup and recovery.
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds 1 month ago:
A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.
I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds 1 month ago:
With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.
