Re: Happy Pi Day

On hardwood floors, a coat of clear lacquer is really all that is needed. Provided you keep the floor waxed after that. If you don't want to wax, then an epoxy coating of some type might be the way to go. When I worked in peoples houses, I tried to keep a negative pressure in the rooms I was working...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style

WOW, ten grand, I only wish, hi hi. I only got 1% of the total cost of materials and labor as my fee. That being said, I was usually one of the main laborers also, but that was shown separately on the invoice to the customer. I never marked up the price of materials either, they would get a copy of ...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19

Almost all doctors file systems, using your birthdate brings you up fast during their records search. Trying to spell folks names properly has always been a challenge. I would get weird questions like, what is 2124 California Avenue. It was one of the houses I bought for renovation purposes. Sometim...

Actually, the only reason Micro$oft has jumped on the Linux Kernel support bandwagon is for their Hypervisor. The biggest contributors to the Linux Kernel are Huawei, Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM, Google, and thousands more. The Linux Kernel is Modular and Monolithic, so drivers, etc. can be added ...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style

Almost all of my time was at the SDS testing the submersibles. This is where we lost many members. And the reason it was eventually shut down. Contrary to what the video showed, it really only took two of us to run the PacV but we did have three counting the navigator. Had to have him to find our wa...

Re: Happy Pi Day

The bad thing about plank floors that are prefinished, is the seams are still open, so water can get underneath the boards, and also in the seams which can cause problems there too. Sorta like the end seams in floating floors can spread from cold and warm cycles in the house, and dust buildup in the...

Re: FLoC

Makes sense! I thought it was fairly easy to Port a program over to different OSs, with only a few minor changes if they used things for a proprietary coded area. Just like things I wrote in basic using peeks, pokes and calls wouldn't work on a PC because it didn't have those options. One salesman w...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19

I'll be honest here Yogi, it is all totally above my head! I know there are a few keys on my computer, placed there by the repositories, and my doctors offices. My one doctor who gives me access to my medical reports has a crazy process. I have to log into the website, enter my password and some oth...

Re: Happy Pi Day

Yes they will send samples to you, so you can see what the finished product looks like. They are glad to do that. But they won't sell the stuff for you to actually do the work yourself. This is why I had to quit doing it! They did offer me to become a pro-installer for them, but I declined as I was ...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style

The LCAC's are much nicer than the PacV SK5 - Our unit did not contain much armament since it was used for rescue missions. It could carry up to a dozen troops, or 4 to 6 small submersibles. The units used by the team I was in were the model 7232, while those with heavy armament were model 7255. As ...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19

You hit what I've been saying in your opening comment. I would have to mail you a Key that allowed reading of my document via the USPS. We were doing something similar before computers were even invented. We would write a coded letter to send to someone. But for them to read it, they needed to know ...

Don't know why, when I went to reply this screen kept scrolling down and down and down. Did a reload and now it is OK. I've used this 710 trick for years. My first wife worked for a couple of car dealers, and she used it a few times herself. One of the parts stores near me, when someone asked where ...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style

You would have loved the cockpit of our PacV SK5 hovercraft. It had just about as many dials and knobs, and gauges as a commercial airliner, hi hi. Even though we were on water, it still had an altimeter of sorts which showed how high the underdeck was above the surface of the water. Plus gauges to ...

Re: Happy Pi Day

I think most of the laminate floors now come with the fuzzy backing on them. But then I've not checked in over 15 years if not longer. I did a car showroom using my 1/4 fanfold underlayment and the weight of the cars never crushed it down. However, I did use 1/4 inch luan at the two doors where they...

Oh heck Yogi, the 710 joke has been going around for decades now. I'm surprised you didn't hear of it. I actually felt I may have been demeaning by explaining it in the very last sentence, but then I have hit a few folks, mechanics even who didn't know what a 710 cap was for, hi hi. I think it origi...

Re: ASUS Zephyrus S19

I actually love hearing what all you are doing with computers, and the challenges you are placing on them. I've studied about public and private keys until I'm blue in the face. You encrypt something using your secret private key, but anyone with a public key can then read it. Something created with...

Clear Cast resin is a HARD resin, like used on countertops and tables. Or used in molds to embed items inside. Ribbed vinyl can also be used as the first base under the 1/4 inch size Luan board for pour chip floors. Without the ribbing underneath, 1/8th inch Luan is usually used as the base for pour...

Re: Blackboards: 2021 style

Nearly every old house I worked in had studs of all sizes in them. But that old hardwood is nearly impossible to work with, because it only turned harder with age. Although expensive, we would buy Oak 2x6 lumber and cut it down to 4 inch to replace the old studs where needed. But not always, sometim...
