My concern is that those big beams (blue) end where they meet the plywood (yellow). Which means they are transferring their downward force into the board(s) highlighted in green. That in turn presses down on the vertical studs highlighted in red. These aren’t connected to anything on the bottom. So the weight from the beams gets supported by the screws attaching all these pieces to the plywood wall? Maybe if they’re just for looks and not structural support. Maybe that’s how it’s done in germany.

Holy shit, is that load bearing plywood on the far wall (with the rectangle window).

My friend, you need help from someone that knows what they are doing and familiar with local codes before proceeding any further.

Sylvania now: “Just throw that piece of shit in the trash and buy a new one”

Nay. Only good for fertilizer.

I doubt these cameras can sustain that kind of uninterrupted use,

I had an old HTC phone that I used as a garage security camera for 2-3 years straight. It had to be restarted every couple months, but otherwise worked fine. Now you can get a $20 IP camera that surpasses it in every way tho.

I leash/harness train mine. It’s nice to be able to mostly walk them around outside like dogs. Also I train them to ride on my shoulders for transportation. That way when they get too lazy to walk back to the house or I need to carry them around for any other reason I can just plop them on my shoulders and they will ride there, keeping my hands free. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy.

u/VegaLyrae’s suggestions are all excellent.

bout 10 years ago, the norm was to, from time to time, drain lithium batteries to minimum and so do a full cycle, this is something my father told me but I actually don’t know the reasoning.

Early rechargeable batteries such as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride would develop “memory”. For example if you made a habit of always recharging the batteries once they hit 50%, the battery would think “I guess they don’t need the rest of the capacity, I’ll throw it in the trash” and you ended up with a battery with half it’s original capacity. So it became good practice to occasionally discharge them completely before recharging. Sort of a ‘use it or lose it’ scenario. Now lithium batteries do not have this issue but it took people a long time to break the habit.

I think they mean like a gallon of gasoline burned in a car does less environmental damage than the same gallon of gasoline just released into the environment.

Not saying it is or isn’t, just how I took it.

I don’t think most people mind curated reposts at all. No one wants to see every reddit post copied over en masse. Well, I guess a some do, but they suck, as is covered in the post title.

Hopefully lemmy will roll out blocking by instance and that will solve a lot of people’s issues calling for defederation.

I use one of the oily waste cans for charging sketchy lithium batteries. While that would keep the fire mostly contained if something goes wrong, you still have a LOT of smoke/fumes to deal with, so a basement might not be the best spot unless it’s ventilated well.

Stop making it complicated. Just line it up on someone’s ass and get your nose down in it like god intended.

LO fucking L

I was gifted a tiny refillable keychain lighter. I didn’t think I needed it at first but it’s turned out invaluable to always have some fire handy. I don’t smoke so I don’t normally have a lighter with me otherwise.
