The extra material/weight needed for the same/better strength in PVC becomes an advantage. The fittings do seem expensive until you compare the cost to 3D print equivalents. Any joints you don’t want to wobble, you cement.

She was joking about putting a cot in it, after shelving and plants, and yeah, it seemed roomy enough to me.

The store-bought(/online-purchased) ones actually tend to have metal frames. Plastic(PVC, usually) strong enough to support even a flimsy structure tends to be more expensive(although more flexible and weather-proof) than metal tubing, particularly when you consider increased weight and volume requirements, increasing both packaging and shipping costs.

My wife recently ordered a 6.5ft x 6.5ft x 10ft one for about $80, shipped. Biggest concern we have so far is the need to strap it down so it doesn’t blow away. It came with double-layered sheeting with a built-in airgap(think doubled-up bubble-wrap, only it feels like vinyl).

Ouch. So he didn’t actually complete the assignment in a minute…

What got cut off at the bottom?

Sounds like you should have taken his phone away when everyone else had finished, or before that, since he was distracting others. Also sounds like the assignment wasn’t challenging enough for him.

Random book, even one mentioned in the article, along with anecdotes by the author, lists more and better studies than the 1,317 studies scoped by the Queensland University of Technology? Doubt.

I remember people giving Biden shit for smelling his granddaughter’s head, right in that spot in the middle of the scalp that always smells like a newborn baby. People make me so sad for the little wholesome things its obvious they missed out on, so they label it “predatory”.

Fair enough, but 42 in any octet is going to be common anyways because nerds love us some Douglass Adams.

While I’ve never seen a router default to the 172.16… range, to me it just means that someoe bothered to modify the settings. No wonder the network is faster.

Fear-mongering much?

I mean, I agree its already broken, but proponents of this “it’s x thousand pixels wide!” non-sense will point out that at least it rounds up to that number, so I opted to point of the vaule at whict that excuse, too, breaks down. 4k has 4 times(2x2) the pixels as 1080P, and 8k has, well shit, 16 times(4x4) the pixels as 1080P. Someone shit the bed with this non-sense.

Apparently the “official” standard defines nothing beyond 8k. Go figure.

Okay, but, 4k has literally 4 times the number of pixels that 1080P does, 3840 horizontal(“4k”?) versus 1920(“2k”?), and 2160 versus 1080 vertical. We are not so far from breaking the “1000pixels” interpretation completely; “13k” would be 12,480 pixels wide.

Seems to me that marketers are trying to conflate “k” and Megapixels, but if we started using Megapixels for Displays, the side-by-side numbers would look truely pathetic(versus what “seems common/attainable”, not what’s “percievable”.

Full HD/1080P is 1K. If you meant better than 1080P though, then more power to you.

I haven’t done drugs in literal decades and have a very loose relationship with the 5-second rule, so the idea of having a problem with floor drugs, specifically, amuses me greatly.

My stance on floor drugs is akin to Angel Dust off Hazbin Hotel: “You think I can’t tell my drink is being spiked? Its what I come here for!!”

Floor drugs deserved better than this.

Half are indoor smokers. None have heard of feather-dusters … outside the context of the bedroom.

Sack trimming is what ultimately converted me from electric trimmers to safety razors. Night and day. Even if I nick myself, the closest thing to a problem is NOT pain.

The Maze was based on previous work by id Software and others. IIRC, it was kinda janky when held up against Doom or even Wolfenstien or Heritic/Hexen. Hell, Descent was out by then as well.

Pipes? Pipes was something else. None of those games I mentioned bothered to make something look round in any believable capacity. Pipes did that, seemingly with shading 🫨

The bottom pic reflects much more of a soft-sell, non-violence-and-family-friendly-only take on the topic. The top pic leaves getting one’s face smashed in, with bricks or dildoes, firmly on the table, where it should be when one considers human rights negotiable.

Someone needs to colorize the top pic. I’m not convinced they were any less vibrant or peace-loving then. They just happened to understand it would take violence to protect, well, anything that needs protecting.
