I replaced the batteries in our thermostat today. Five minutes later we check it, as my girlfriend says it was finicky the last time she changed them. They were incredibly hot and one of the three had started melting the wrapper off itself  Anyway the problem was the spring for the back battery wasn't lined up and was causing some kind of bad connection, it's fine now.

Cat Hatter posted:I'm not missing that, busses suck rear end. I'm saying that trains are prohibitively expensive for most of the places people wish they were once you consider the number of people they'd serve and its better to give crummy service (a bus) to a bunch of people than a nice service (a train) to a handful of people. You’re not wrong or anything but it drives me insane that we’re only allowed to discuss costs when it’s related to public transportation. Imagine if we would consider cars in the same way. The public cost per person of building and maintaining roads to the average suburban hell is insane. Then add to that what the average commuter has to pay a month for their car and fuel. Trains only seem expensive when you assume all that other poo poo is free.

Part of the problem though is that you'll still need many of those roads so trucks can make deliveries to stores and factories, and once the road already exists and can withstand a semi truck hauling 50,000lbs of lumber to Home Depot then you'd might as well let people drive their cars on it. Even with industrial/agricultural rail being as built up as it is in the US, it's still usually hundreds of miles of travel by truck before it starts being cheaper to put everything on a train and then transfer to a truck near the destination. Yes, that's partially because the roads are subsidized, but it's also easier to get dual-use out of a road than try and cram people on a train trundling along at 20mph behind a literal cattle car.

Because lovely repair. It’s Hardiebacker clapboard; I installed it on my garage. At first I thought it was screwed only at the bottom to suck it in (I have 3-4 areas where I had to do that, probably because I used ring-shanks in a Paslode dialed all the way out + a shim in an effort to not pin the siding too tightly to the sheathing, and those spots where where I failed) But I saw the cut. So a length got broken, and it can be a real challenge to jimmy the nails out using a flat-bar without damaging the run above it, so they punted & cut it off flush with the upper run & butted in a section. And if the siding was all originally installed with screws, you’re kinda hosed.

Yeah but if it's mostly only commercial vehicles using the roads then you don't need 12 lanes and loads of parking, which gives you more room for everything else (like public transport and buildings and poo poo). It also means the stuff on the roads works better, like the trucks, but also busses, ambulances and delivery vehicles. Getting stuff off the roads is better for everything, including the stuff still on the roads. This is part of the reason getting mad at bike lanes is silly: every bike in a bike lane is a car you're not stuck behind in traffic, in a much more efficient space trade off than just having another lane of cars.

Why the gently caress didn't they put a normal corner/lazy-susan type cupboard where the dishwasher is, and put the dishwasher where the single cupboard is on the right side? If you even need a dishwasher in the first place, but I guess that depends on how many bedrooms this place has. Wow I had no idea I could be this angry about kitchen design.

Why is the there a bite taken out the back right corner of the room, anyway? Seems like crappy architecture. There’s a window, so we know that whatever it is is right against the exterior of the building.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but at least up here, the bike lanes are half the width of a car lane, separated from the main road by a greenspace that is again half a lane wide. And rarely actually green.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:They would have to run longer water supply and drain lines to the dishwasher. Also they'd need some sort of solution to hide them since obviously you can't just have them run across the floor to underneath the sink. Which itself would be a potential maintenance nightmare should those hoses ever start to leak while they're hidden in some wall cavity.

Things like this are fun because I get to learn something new. For example, I was about to ask “Does it even get cold enough in Adelaide to warrant a fireplace?” Then I looked it up, and it turns out that in July, the average low is 46°F/7.8°C. Almost cold enough for frost to afford you some privacy in your Perspex making GBS threads cube.
