Motronic posted:I'm really sorry whatever that was didn't work for you, but it's hard to say what went wrong or needed to be done without knowing where you are in general. Different places (that have different low temperatures/frost lines) have wildly different requirement for things like this. I thoroughly enjoy your posting so please don't take this as a dig, but apologizing for not being given enough information to provide unsolicited diagnosis/advice is just classic Motronic. Never change!

I live in Florida and my door opens outwards, but even if I lived in Canada I'd prefer it that way. I figure I have a lot more time to figure out snow than fire. Motronic will probably explain it to us if we make enough annoyingly wrong guesses. ComradePyro fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jul 13, 2023 |

Loezi posted:IIRC the Finnish "doors must open outwards" comes from a couple tragedies in something like the 1700s where people in a church panicked and tried to exit all at once, causing a crush at the inwards-opening doors. So it's an evacuation/fire safety thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Hall_disaster Bad Munki posted:Doors open inward because of the coriolis effect. You’ll find they open outward in places like Australia. Door opening direction is largely due to social norms that evolved from the rate of left-handedness. Pulling the door inwards is more natural for lefties, and given the creative tendencies of the sinistral members of humanity, they tend to design more buildings than those of us cursed with dexterity.

I cemented my dryer in place so that it could feel my commitment to the renovation. I plan on shooting it full of .45 rounds if it breaks so that the next dryer knows the score. I am American and my house is built entirely from poorly-informed European snark, this material is sometimes called 'school shootings lmao'.

Shifty Pony posted:A person trying to fix a thing watches a single helpful video of someone explaining and demonstrating the fix in situ, does the fix, and then turns off YouTube. A person who is watching for entertainment watches one video with a staged setup and wacky sound effects, then watches the entire drat channel. I watch a lot of video essays and my recommendations are 90% YouTube essays, people I subscribe to, and people I occasionally watch, despite the complete lack of wacky sound effects. I pretty much like this state of affairs.

I would have to leave the continent to see a wall like that. it would cost several thousand dollars. most people only ever see the one continent.

3D Megadoodoo posted:No because we're loving swimming in them. Any other stupid-as-gently caress questions, English? right, that's sort of why it confuses me. I'm going to flee my state later this year because my government wants to kill me, and like... you guys are smug about the reasons my life sucks because I live here and walls being old? bizarre energy at some point, a lot of you guys missed the memo that doing this kind of thing went from punching up to punching down and it's uh. not a cute look to just browbeat people about it all the time. It's like playing basketball with kindergardeners and being smug about all the dunks you're landing. fish in a barrel, pal. Isn't it kind of annoying when people say "Europeans" as though that was a valid way to talk about a hugely diverse group of people scattered across an entire continent? the US is roughly the same size as europe and it's annoying when you guys go "Americans" for the exact same reason.

Platystemon posted:St. Augustine has cool walls. I can't find a picture of this on google, but in (North Central, at least) Florida, when the water level in the rivers are low enough you can sometimes see where we got the idea to build walls out of it from! The Castillo de San Marcos, a fort on the shore near St. Augustine, has walls made of coquina. According to a tour I went on in 4th grade, it was notorious for being impossibly tough, you can still see where cannon shots landed on the walls. The shells give it a much greater ability to absorb the energy of the impact, essentially acting like rebar in concrete and the crumple zone of your car.  for every inch of stone you make it through, you've created an inch of coquina's worth of powder between you and the next inch. instead of blowing a hole through a strong, brittle material you pulverized a small piece of softer material. I think modern composite armor does the same kinda thing, so if I'm right about that, the average fort wall was using the equivalent of WW2 steel tank armor and the Spaniards had the equivalent of modern composite ceramic plating.

not an expert, but I've never let that keep me from speculating before: good rule of thumb with construction is that there should ideally be some kind of impermeable barrier and/or vertical travel between water and places it shouldn't be. it's fine right now, but keeping the caulk maintained (yes I hear it too) just got a lot more important.
