The garage tree may not be as silly as it looks, if that's the yard side and intended to allow you to drive the riding mower out maybe? I'm trying here.

For when you're too lazy to drop $1 on a two switch faceplate

I might just be jaded, but I'm thinking that it's not in a box, or not in the correct box, and a normal two switch faceplate may just not fit properly on it.

Y'know, over ten years ago I went to a tech show and saw a prototype display that used an array of independently-controlled lights for the backlight instead of having a single global brightness setting. Even with the relatively crude backlight grid in the demo (which only had a couple dozen lights for a standard computer screen, if I recall correctly) it made a huge difference in the achievable contrast compared to the standard "monolithic" backlight system. It just looked miles better. Sure it's a bit more complicated to manufacture, but you'd think this kind of thing would be available in at least some consumer-grade products.

Nearly all LED backlit displays that aren't from Walmart have adaptive, zone-controlled backlighting. Or, at least, that's what I thought. It's called "local dimming" and has been a thing since 2014. Instead of being used to make screens better and better, it's been used by most budget manufacturers to allow for larger, cheaper panels that would otherwise have totally poo poo blacks without it, and instead are only passable with it. There are a ton of 4k TVs today that aren't Vizio or Hisense that use it really well, though. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 14, 2016 |

I don't know if interior design WTF qualifies as crappy construction, but anything to get away from T.V. talk.  Fell free to speculate about the weird copy/paste nature of everything in the foreground.

 That whole blog really.  Seems like some hvac companies set up blogs like this to drive traffic, dunno if this is all just leeched from somewhere else.  These are bathroom vents for a single family home.  You get the ideal.

Examples: shadows on chair legs point in different directions. Light from windows doesn't match either EV or color temps. Faucet doesn't let out over a sink. OTOH it looks pretty much exactly what my sister-in-law would use Photoshop for if she ever learned how to use it. It's pretty damned close to her "perfect" kitchen.

I'm actually shocked that your sister's perfect kitchen is 75% old bait shack.

AMOLED would like to speak with you. Granted, AMOLED costs a lot more than LCD, but it's been available on a lot of higher end phones for awhile.

Friend found this when he was renovating a 1st floor bathroom/laundry room. Fortunately, it was on the laundry line. I've never seen an air gap drain like this before. Not sure I want to see one again.

That open drain is a requirement for AC condensation setup in my neck of the woods. In case of backup, it overflows, instead of going into the unit. There is nothing wrong with that setup if used for something other than gray(sewage)-water. The imgur wainscoting bedroom is pretty sad, but will look fine to most people. Even after every joint will crack. And they will, in about 1-3 months. At least they used oil primer so it's not going to turn piss-yellow.

I thought sewage was black, and grey was water from condensate, laundry, or sinks before it hit the sewage pipe.

nm posted:I have one of the final few years of samsung plasmas. Its gonna suck when it finally dies. I've got a Mitsubishi 50" plasma in my office. It's just over 100 lbs and old as poo poo (first or second gen). It's a great tv that was given to me in exchange for mounting my buddy's 60-something inch replacement - this one still look way better but has a tendency to burn in pretty bad when you leave something on the screen. It goes away quickly enough so I'm not too bothered by it. The most expensive part was buying an articulating wall mount that would actually support a TV that heavy. Fortunately I knew exactly where to mount it since I built this office - it's lag bolted into a structural 4x4 (pole construction) as well as to a couple of (non-structural installed to hang drywall on) studs on each side.

Air gaps like that are pretty common and in some states required by health code in commercial kitchens. Although they are larger in diameter. The big fun of it is scrubbing all the collected kitchen gook off of the inside of the drain.

I thought that was posted here due to the electrical outlets without covers and the lovely routing.
