Jerry Cotton posted:Yeah but the rest of the world didn't have a hundred years of inertia. They had thousands of years of inertia. Not really. Measurements weren't standardized until just a couple of hundred years ago (and in most cases, less than a hundred years ago). Even countries that used the same term for a measurement for centuries did not have accurate and universally-applied standards for those measures. And for sure the entire rest of the world has not been using a single system for thousands or even hundreds of years.

Americans also tend to stockpile ammunition, so that's a lot of additional lead to use as ballast.

Too bad if you want to take a shower. Or ever get away from that reek you just created. Or sleep dry. Or, you know, live like a human in a first world nation.

Friendly reminder that horses are measured in hand-widths. Except a 'hand' is standardized as like 4 inches. Why not just measure them in inches, or feet? Who knows.

I'm trying to imagine the look you'd get, bringing a bar-find home. She'd have to be drunk enough to ignore the fact that you live in a bathroom, yet sober enough to make it up the ladder. That's a fine loving line.

Is that a load bearing bookshelf? Things are going to get interesting when all the wood touching the floor starts to rot from the constant damp.

I can see the top of the corner post, and it doesn't look like those white shelves are as deep, so it's probably supported. As for the rapid deterioration of the wood due to damp, I imagine that's what the poor bastard's security deposit will be used for.

My next-door neighbor is goon and carpenter RivuletsofGlop, employed by a developer that rehabs & flips repo homes in south Jersey. Last week while working on a deck, he found this GFCI in a weather enclosure, attached to the rear elevation of the house. It was still working. The indicator light was still lit...although he didn't try to actually test or use it.    We're trying to ID the manufacturer so that we can send them a testimonial.

I think the landlord isn't thinking this through. Put a water mattress in the tub, rent to two tenants. They can still use the tub, just drain the mattress and refill after since water is included.

My next door renter neighbors just dug a large hole, lined it with a blue tarp, filled it with water and put rocks around it. It looks about as bad as you could imagine. I guess they have no idea what Mosquitoes are. Once they ran out of rocks for the "water feature" they decided to bust up the concrete downspout extensions that are intended to direct rainwater away from the foundation and used them as ersatz redneck pond rocks. I'm thinking about mounting a directional loudspeaker outside that plays dueling banjos on an infinite loop aimed at their yard at a low volume.

They guy replastering my kitchen ceiling just tripped the RCD so I guess we'll have some fun figuring out what caused that when the electrician comes round to re-fit the lights. Hasn't tripped again after resetting so it *probably* isn't a nail through a wire but if it wasn't that then who knows! Edit: they even re-routed the wires so that they were actually run through the joists rather then hanging off the bottom of them specifically to avoid this sort of thing so gently caress knows what they did. Hopefully just jiggled the copper pipes running under the floor above and upset the RCD somehow.... Edit 2: turned out he left his radio out in the rain or something then let it dry out and it was probably shorting when he knocked it!

Rules state 375mm below private ground. It was directly under a 30mm concrete slab. How we missed it with the digger needle I don't know.
