| Topic | What are those wire tack things called? |
| IdiotMachine 07/21/19 5:56:27 PM #1 | It's like a small circle with a tab on one end, where a nail is attached perpendicularly to that tab, so that you can nail it down somewhere. The small circle is where you put the wire through. --- |
| Topic | PSA: Your AC can probably only handle lowering your living area 20 degrees |
| IdiotMachine 07/21/19 5:35:10 PM #31 | @chrono625 posted... 500sqft per ton is rule of thumb for HVAC sizing. So the HVAC guy recommended getting at least a 7-ton light commercial unit, because getting two units will involve resizing ducts, zoning, etc. (he explained it to me in more details, but I forgot now). I talked to an HVAC friend, and he said don't do that, just get a second 3-ton split ductless unit installed in my first floor (the entire first floor is an "open concept", with vaulted ceilings and ~2,000 sqft of open space). What do you think about that...? --- |
| Topic | PSA: Your AC can probably only handle lowering your living area 20 degrees |
| IdiotMachine 07/20/19 9:40:03 PM #13 | We have a 5-ton unit for our home, and it was freakin 81F in this house during the morning (when outside it was 95F peak). Only now, with the sun down, is the inside temperature going lower and lower. We hired an HVAC tech to come take a look, and he said the unit is undersized for our house (approximately 6,400sqft house). He recommended a light commercial unit of 7-tons or adding a split unit in the main hall. --- |
| Topic | $300 for 45 minutes of work by a pair of roofers. Fair? |

| Topic | $300 for 45 minutes of work by a pair of roofers. Fair? |
| IdiotMachine 07/19/19 9:43:47 AM #1 | Had a leak, hired roofers. When they inspected the roof, they said some roof shingles were loose and the caulking around the windows and skylights are all cracked. They nailed some shingles and recaulked 12 roof windows/skylights in 45 minutes, then charged $300. The whole inspection to finish took a little over an hour. That seems excessive to me... --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/09/19 9:50:28 PM #20 | Solid Snake07 posted... I'm sure amazon knows the logistics better than I do but what I've heard just sounds inefficient. The John Oliver piece had employees talking about having to go across the entire warehouse to grab a single item IIRC, Amazon doesn't organize their stuff; they just dump everything where they have space and keep track of it, so when it's needed, robots or people go get it. --- |

| Topic | Am I a bad person for not feeling too much sympathy for Amazon employees? |
| IdiotMachine 07/09/19 9:38:12 PM #1 | Specifically Amazon warehouse employees. The job is unskilled labor, comprising of walking and picking up packages. If Amazon is not a good choice, why not go for another similar unskilled labor job, like FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.? --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/06/19 12:52:52 AM #4 | MabusIncarnate posted... Do you treat your cats with a flea and tick treatment? Chances are, they are taking the majority of the bites, and the mosquitos are dying shortly after due to the treatment. I do not treat them with Flea/tick treatments as they are strictly indoor cats. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 7:06:42 PM #29 | ledbowman posted... 2001 is timeless and nothing like a stage play. Wtf I was trying to generalize all older movie styles. 2001 A Space Odyssey, in my opinion, has very poor pacing and was just an all-around borefest. Nothing interesting happened in the movie, and every action took minutes to happen. Even mundane things like walking and talking on a phone is elaborate and take minutes. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 6:25:20 PM #23 | YookaLaylee posted... The Godfather is a modern movie though. Films from the 70s and later aren't like what you're describing Got it. I rarely watch(ed) a movie that's older than the 90s, so I'm trying to expand my film taste. --- |
| Topic | how do people get full albums on youtube? |
| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 6:14:28 PM #2 | When you upload copyrighted content that is not yours, there are generally three ways it ends; the content owner tells YouTube to either: A) Do nothing and let's you get the ad money, B) Allow the upload but the content owner gets all the ad money, or C) Not allow any upload and mutes/deletes your upload. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 5:34:17 PM #19 | CelestialVoices posted... do you have to "take yourself back to the time when they filmed the movie" to appreciate it (like Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, Planet of the Apes, 2001 A Space Odyssey, etc.; how old movies have overacting, poor pacing, etc.)? These older movies are more like filmed stage plays; the acting is ridiculously over the top and the scenery is mostly static. Like I don't understand how Doctor Strangelove is such a classic; the titular doctor is a comedic, overacting fool. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 3:31:20 PM #39 | The Popo posted... Also, if you just tell them what you want, theyll be able to work with you. All they do is cut hair, so if you tell them approximately what you want, theyll be able to do it. I guess the problem is I don't know what I want. The place I always go to, I ask for the usual. And the first time I went there, I asked the stylist for her opinion on what will look the best. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 2:40:20 PM #34 | My wife said my haircut could be better, and noted that they forgot to cut one part of the head (since it sticks out above the other hairs). She was happy about the price tho lol. --- |
| Topic | How do you get a haircut at Great Clips or whatnot? |
| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 1:52:19 PM #28 | She treated me like I'm an idiot the whole time. So I get in, she asks what do I want. I say I'd like a natural look, more of the same right now but shorter. She said is #4 okay, and I had no idea what that meant... She pointed to another customer and said that's a #2 for reference, and I said that's way too short. So then she said she'll start with #6 and go from there. She buzzed the back and sides, then asked if that's good; I said that is a little shorter than I expected, and she just shrugged saying #6 is the longest she had. She then started to buzz the front, and I said I prefer scissors, to which she looked frustrated and got the scissors out. The front is better, but still too short... She then asked if I wanted my sideburns to be long; I said no, just match the current style now (because why would I have long sideburns with short hair)... And its just a line now; not even faded. What a terrible experience. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 1:46:22 PM #26 | Hexenherz posted... Well we warned this would happen Yup. I am an idiot. My laziness in trying to call for other salons or barbershops led me to a chain, and it was really bad. I guess the only good thing is that the haircut took a really short amount of time, and it was cheap at $12. --- |
| Topic | How do you get a haircut at Great Clips or whatnot? |
| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 1:36:56 PM #24 | Wow what the shit they cut it terribly. She said #6 is the longest she had and just buzzed the sides and back, then used the scissors for the front. It took like 5-10 minutes vs the usual 30 minutes or so I normally expect. The hair was cut way too fucking short and there's no fade on the sideburns; just a hard cut. No clue what the back looks like, because she didn't show me with the mirror (I asked, and she said they don't have a handheld mirror; wtf). --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/05/19 11:45:33 AM #13 | xsouljah posted... IdiotMachine posted...Yes sir, I have longer hair, so I tend to prefer salons. I live in Pittsburgh suburbs and I've tried calling the two salons I go to, and both were closed. As far as beyond that, I am hesitant; my logic says chain places (like supercuts, great clips, etc) is a safe bet because it's a chain..... They have to be at least average, right? Hexenherz posted... how does anyone get a haircut at any barbershop or salon, I've been to so many and it never comes out even remotely close to what I was expecting. The ones I went to, they ask how you want your haircut and they periodically ask you if you want it shorter or whatnot; or they have a display/tablet and show you different hair styles and you pick one. --- |
