Thank you! The Halloween one was fairly difficult to transfer correctly and there's a few smudges on it. But the smudges kinda go with the Halloween theme so it worked out.

My wife did a much better job with the scalloped edges on her Thanksgiving bowl. I ended up just having fun and messing with the edges too much on my Halloween one haha.

    My dentist has also said the order doesn't matter. My guess is that the benefits of flossing at all outweigh any small benefits from doing it in a specific order. I'm also assuming most dentists are just happy if you floss and don't want to nitpick on technique unless it's causing issues.

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually enjoy a hybrid work schedule. It helps that I actually like my coworkers, but it's so much nicer to talk to them in person. And it might just be me, but it's easier to separate work and home life when they are in separate places.

    Remote days are great for getting small chores done around the house, and I can cook my lunch. Hybrid gives the best of both worlds, at least for me.

    I'm fortunate that my office is flexible so if something comes up I can work from home until whatever issue gets resolved. Just goes to show that everyone has preferences and the best policy is to let people choose.

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm looking to get an air compressor for some work around the house. It would mostly be used for nail guns to replace siding and trim. However, I do want to be able to spray wall texture occasionally (The walls have been "fixed" in various spots and I'm probably going to redo entire walls. A couple of walls are so bad I think they just threw the sprayer in the room and ran away). I'm fine with going slow when spraying texture as long as I can still get a good result. The compressor I'm looking at is a 6 gallon @ 175 PSI, with 3.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI. This seems perfect for nail guns ( I think), but texture guns seem to consume 2-9 SCFM. Do you that will be fine for periodic use, or will it be maddening slow? My goal would be to texture and paint a roughly 10ft by 12ft room in a weekend. I'll be using a roller and brush for paint so that is not a concern.

    Sorry if its a silly question, but when researching this stuff it's getting so hard to find non-ai generated website's that are just trying to sell shit.

    Man, people really suck. Is there anyway we can help or assist? Maybe donations to help with server costs? Thanks for all you do to keep it running! This place is fantastic and I hate seeing it being targeted.

    I went to put in an outlet with charging ports and found this monstrosity behind the wall plate. The box is filled with expanding foam, I'm guessing as some kind of support? Then painted all over. I scraped it all out, put in outlet spacers and its much better. I think there's foam around the box too, but I'm not gonna worry about that (yet).

    Now I get to spend next weekend replacing all the outlets in the house just in case there's any more sketchy "fixes" 🫠

    After cleaning and replacing: Cleaned and repaired outlet

     

    Hey all, I'm upgrading to 2 gb fiber internet, and I'm looking to swap my router for an opnsense build. I'm looking to build a matx PC using the Intel x540 t2. I know the 2x10gbe connections need more processing power compared to the recommended specs on opnsenses site. But I have no idea what cpu to get. I'm looking at the i5-6500T since it's low power and I already have a compatible mobo laying around. Is that too old for this application? Full stack would be the fiber ONT 10gb port - > this opnsense build - > 8 port 2.5 gb switch with a 10gb uplink port. Will probably have less than 20 devices connected at once, with only a couple of them capable of using the full internet speed.

    Any other advice is more than welcome as this is my first dive into networking.
