The electronic one I got from Costco was really good, marking exactly where the studs were, along with width... until I shot a brad through the sensor. :(

I'd love to see what the employee market would look like if we gave everyone medical, prescription, dental, and vision coverage. If people could job-hunt without that hanging over them, employers would have to actually compete rather than being able to rely on people being desperate for any job.

The number of people that are only staying in the job they have now for the health insurance is staggering. It is absolutely having an effect on our overall economy's productivity. I've got a couple friends that would go out on their own in entrepreneurial ventures, but the cost/risk of health care for their family is prohibitive.

Basics are to knock the gloss off, if glossy. You can sand, or there are liquid products that will do it. Gotta give the paint something to bite into. If it's just unpainted wood (sorry, haven't watched the whole video tour), you're probably ready to go as is.

Yep, quick sand to scuff up the surface. Wipe down. Primer and paint. Oil based takes longer to cure and is a pain to clean up, but pays dividends with hardness and longevity.

I'd argue that Tumblr is very much a place where an impressionable sixteen year old would develop extremely unrealistic expectations / have themselves exploited, at the very least mentally if not physically.

I don't know how you let your 16 year old go on Tumblr in the first place. If I saw that pop up on my kid's history, we'd be having a discussion, then I'd be blocking the site. Nothing good ever came from Tumblr.

16 year olds can drive literal cars to places you can't monitor. People who can drive cars are adults in everything but the difference between which jail they'll go to if they kill someone while doing it. Perhaps you should stop snooping in their internet use at this point.

If you're the parent of a 16 year old and do not monitor them to some degree, you're doing parenting wrong. They are legally your responsibility, and morally/ethically your responsibility, too. If you're allowing a side-Tumblr hustle to continue from your 16 year old girl, there is a problem.

These things shouldn't be hard to understand.

You're correct, I'm not a parent - I only have it from the "I would have been disgusted to find out that my parents' acquaintances were discussing my personal life with a bunch of random strangers and making weird assumptions based on knowing literally nothing about me" angle that I would have had when I was 16.

These things shouldn't be that hard to understand.

This world isn't what it was 30 years ago. Giving a teenager unfettered access to the internet with zero oversight is reckless, but if you don't have kids, I can understand a lack of comprehension. It really does change your perspective.

Ether Frenzy posted:

Sorry I think weird patriarchal thoughts about other people's nearly-grown daughters is "a bad thing".

And the fact that you think 16 years old is "nearly-grown" punctuates that. Kids of that age are still kids. They have complex thoughts and are just coming to the point of being truly self-aware, but to just say "Hey y'all, just have at that internet and do fetish drawings for whomever you bump into on Tumblr" is asinine.

I respect my kid and recognize that he's going to make choices that I may or may not be okay with... but if I see he's routinely camping out on some fringe site, well, that's when you have to parent.


FAT32 SHAMER posted:

Monitoring in this case mostly means “check in every once in a while”

And that's exactly what I do. See what pops up frequently and in general, I don't worry about it, because he's a good kid. But I'll watch to make sure he stays on that track.

As an IT professional now I get a good laugh at the idea that you could block a website with any degree of efficacy. Sure, it's possible in your home or on a device you control. But when internet connected devices with HD playback capability can be had for a song (say, a three plus year old mid-range smartphone), and finding open internet is as simple as walking a few blocks to the nearest retail establishment (or even within range of a lazy neighbor) I think you'll start to understand how futile this all is.

Locks just keep an honest man honest. There's always ways around regulations... whether it's cars or computers or girls. It's a parent's job to put reasonable barriers to the more stupid choices therein.

In early 1996, I was a very small guy. 5'1" and maybe 125lbs. I'd also recently changed schools and didn't have many friends. So I was a target and dude nearly twice my size beat the unholy gently caress out of me. Like, beat me so bad I got knocked out. And after all the hoopla he got a single day of suspension because basketball is more important than an child's safety.



So it was incredibly satisfying to run into him today. Bald, horrifically out of shape and married to a beast of a woman who if I had to guess was 300lbs minimum. When I said "oh this is my wife" you could see the sadness gather in his eyes. It was wonderful. I'm a bum but I won in that contest of life.

Since you obviously didn't read the article, where that experience is laid out in the first couple paragraphs, I called you out for not reading said article.

He knows guns and shoots guns and teaches guns. Big loving deal. That has nothing to do with the way guns are handled in a policy or regulation format. And his "support" was other bloggers. Absolutely zero credibility in an academic forum. If that's the type of source you think is reliable and valid well... that explains a lot.
