Sorry, I don’t check comments all that often. I’ve heard it’ll take a decade for supply and prices to recover. who knows. But I’ve started to just shift to alternate materials for next few years—mostly punted or veneered MDF. Fwiw I’m onl

Don’t forget that the “home button” on iPhone has simply been a finger print sensor with a haptic response since iPhone 7; no physical travel when pressed.

From the article, a good explanation for why recent incidents used missiles rather than the cannons (among other reasons): “In 1998, a rogue weather balloon from Canada deployed to measure ozone levels accidentally drifted away. BBC reporte

Bay Area here. Kid’s bike was stolen from driveway (lock clipped) and I found it online a few hours later. I called police non-emergency line and told them I had already set up a meeting to “buy it”; they offered to assist if an officer was

Exactly. X-views is just disrespect and ensures I never build a habit out of the platform’s content. Same goes for sites like FineHomeBuilding.com. Even if I know there’s good content there, I now avoid clicking just to not “use up” my stup

Yeah, but that’s a NASA balloon which adds one or more “0” to the price tag just so it can source components from, and support jobs in, all 50 states. (Ok, being sarcastic, but I’m curious on the actual cost.)

Sigh, at this point, I think if I saw BB/BB 5x5 for $150, I’d buy what I had room to store. ApplePly and non-sanctioned EuroPly are basically all bought out, so it’s pretty difficult to get as a retail consumer. If you do find it, it’

Sure, that’s after cable evolved into something with enough bandwidth to the house to deliver dozens/hundreds of channels to a subscriber, not to mention the necessary distribution infrastructure on the back-end (e.g. satellite). That

Jeez, tone down the snark? Especially if you’re going to not provide any sources. Either way, you are incorrect. Cable TV indeed started as a way for folks to get TV when reception was otherwise impossible at the home (e.g. a mountain sits

Given current lack of availability and astronomically high price of Baltic/Finnish birch (or any euro ply, apple ply equivalent)… the $1.6k price is almost expected. But still. Sheesh.

Please save comments like this for Reddit. Seriously, someone is discussing struggles with an addiction and you’re making jokes. Not legit at all.

Your statement is quite context dependent, and does not apply to most modern residential scenarios. “Over insulating” a flex duct is not going to cause condensation. Metal duct work in an unconditioned space can cause condensation. Wrappin

Fwiw, context of this video is metal duct work. You’re not going to see R-8 flex duct buried in R-30 begin to sweat when the AC is running. In terms of controlling the dew point, the duct is no different than the conditioned space at that p

Was there anything beyond the extra time/effort that made you regret going with a non-DIY model? I’m considering doing the non-DIY in next year or so.

This is the way. And don’t forget your refrigerant license, which is super easy/cheap to get. Some manufacturers will void your warranty if not installed by someone unlicensed.

Because in the winter the thermal energy within your room will “flow” out of those “cold spots” at surprisingly high rates; in summer those spots act as space heaters. In both scenarios they will adversely affect the ambient temp of the roo

This. We live <50’ from an expressway, so after air sealing and replacing all of our ducts, I added a MERV 16 filter to our air handler. We had the windows open at night a few years back (no ac as well), and I woke up to smell of smoke f
