cause everyone hates you. go eat worms.

drug the wife?

@TheEvilGreebo there are moments when I remember my house is insured for twice what I owe...

My subpar DIY advice will have to come at another time

@KarlKatzke that is much funnier out of context.

@lsiunsuex Go light one up. I'll wait.

Code is only followed when a permit is required.

Ok.... let me rephrase that. I won't get nail pops because I finished my drwalll properly and there's only nails along the edge, and if they pop they'll have to take mesh tape and 1/8" of compound with it.

Welcome to Project Update Thursday

didnt you hear what the patent office said years ago? anything that can be invented has been invented? everything moving forward is just reiterating and incremental updates :)

@BMitch hey, I've narrowed it down to the main breaker, when I turn that off everything else goes off, I think that might be the problem.

That's the tag we need! [Darwin-Award-Nominee]

I think 14ga stranded is still Ok on a run of less than a foot, but @Tester101 would need to answer that one. I only know enough electrical to burn my house down.

I disagree. It's your problem. It just happens to be your problem with me ;)

^--- there's your problem

Cox

@Steven It doesn't bother me personally. I just don't think the site is the best place to vent these types of frustrations.

well I am going to finish the basement, so I plan to put 1.5" XPS foam on all the exposed concrete parts then apply drywall which should overlap the bottom of the frame ever so slightly

Welcome to Project Update Thursday!

no mention of kerning? drop shadows? wtf is this, 1980's?

It ain't there to haul ass, it's there to haul shit.

@TheEvilGreebo I made cookies, but couldn't figure out how to jam them into the ethernet cable.

I guess a more ridiculous questions is. Should changing a light bulb require a permit, and/or be performed by an Electrician?

@Tester101 Just remember that the more outlets you give, the more likely a woman is to plug in her hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, etc all at the same time

If you need that kind of ventilation, Remind me not to use the washroom after you.

That would be one helluva bathroom exhaust fan

an evil genius

@ChrisCudmore I knew a girl like that once.

You know, you could have stopped typing at "insane" We would have got the point. For that matter, you could have stopped typing at "She".

NO!

Strength of a beam is proportional to the second moment of inertia which is 1/12 wh^3. If you double the width, you double the strength. If you double the height, you octuple the strength. (allowing for buckling forces). Or you add a high-tensile member on the tensile thread of the beam, which ... Wait? pornography? Where?

You always need to plan for a little bit of slop so that you don't end up with slivers.

@TheEvilGreebo I thought I'd capture your rep in case you miss this significant moment

Our national tragedy is ending:

Problem exists between receptacle and device

@lsiunsuex If you can't plug things into the receptacle, you shouldn't be touching plugs. Resolved: By design.

Don't forget the blue paint, so you can make your greenboard blueboard.

@Tester101 Did you just offer to pay for my materials?

@TheEvilGreebo It's totally blue... your colorblindness strikes again!

Programmers who use regex's and do reno's.. I am pretty sure there is some kind of graduate psychology thesis that could be written there..

@ChrisCudmore Why are you mowing the lawn in the bathroom?

Welcome to Project Update Thursday

@ChrisCudmore Just add (Not a child molestor, I promise) to your resume....

Caturday's nothing. It's Furry Fridays that terrifies me.

It's National Coming Out day. I shared with you, now reciprocate.

It's like the joke where the guy goes to the doctor and says "it hurts when I touch here... here... here... here", and the doctor says "sir, you have a broken finger."

@Tester101 That's how. Nobody cares about that.
