> Because drywall is a dense and uniform mixture, hanging anything off the wall (from pictures to heavier items like shelves, TVs, or even cabinetry) is a trivial exercise, either a simple nail for a small frame, plaster anchors for medium loads, or toggle bolts for the real heavy hitters.

yikes


That's inaccurate for standard thickness drywall sheet, which is usually a 20kg maximum parallel load (e.g. vertical for a wall) regardless of fixing method. Orthogonal load is even less. You might be able to attach a TV or cabinet but it would definitely not be safe, any additional weight or dynamic load would quite likely rip it off the wall with no warning.

The recommended approach for anything with moderate weight or above is to anchor to the studs and never rely on the drywall itself for retention.


I suspect they are meaning because it's uniform you can easily find the studs through it and fasten things directly into them.

An uneven wall material (plaster on lathe, or even plaster on drywall as we have in most of our house) can be quite a hassle to find the actual timbers/studs behind.


Does this include the cost of gas backup?

You mean the gas power stations that are already built?

every wind/solar farm on the grid needs backup gas turbines, whether its already built or not, which costs money either way, but those are never included in the cost.

This is getting flagged?

Of course, because this is a democratic place for open discussion (irony)

Car manufacturer websites are one of the worst things on the web.

Why do they think we want to look at snail-paced scrolling, stuttery animations?

have you ever visited an auto dealership website? 10x worse.

I want to throttle whoever decided that scroll driven animations should be added to CSS/browsers. Just a load of gee-whiz bullshit

The more popular it becomes for coding, the more likely a model collapse will occur.

> Why are these people even studying film? The inattention is clearly caused by disinterest.

Because they want to, or are forced by their social circle, have a college degree credential, and this is the one that matched closest to their interests (they like watching stuff).


> While all this happens, twice as many will experience the same SA by their spouse, family member/friend, tinder date, or whatever. Likely you'll never hear about those - as if they never happened.

Does it matter? The crime's by illegals are *additional* crimes that wouldn't have happened. The crimes committed by citizens are just the cost of business.


Do any of these people righteously quitting xtwitter not know you can avoid the algorithms and just follow who you want?

I follow a few game development companies, quite a few language developers (go, rescript, etc), a few news reporters (left and right), an account that posts old maps, Dionne Warwick (no idea why). That's it. What's with all the drama???


The thinking goes that you're supporting right-wing white nationalist values, boosting of misinformation, and censorship by using it and, thus, supporting the platform.

Same with corporate taxes, its just targeted a different way.


No idea what you are talking about. He became hugely popular and had lots of adoring fans and friends. His twitter had 1.3M followers and he did a daily show.
