Reply to comment by Rugged_as_fuck in concrete shower pan with corner bench -- but forgot to build bench. what to do? by jaaassshhh

> I hated it. It was constantly covered in bottles. It was uncomfortable to sit on because if you didn't spray water on it for 5 minutes it was freezing cold. It took up space that I was constantly reminded I might have wanted to stand in. It accumulated more shower "grime" than the rest of the shower even though it was properly sloped. It was wide enough for two people, which was great for all the times you showered alone, or all the times when you did shower with a partner and wanted the extra room to stand in. Fucking stupid idea.

I thought shower benches were cool until I rented a house that had a brand new master bedroom and bathroom, and the bathroom had a really nice shower - subway tile, granite trim, that pretty blue glass decoration, AND A BIG GRANITE BENCH.

Made the shower feel smaller, and as you mentioned, would get gross really fast and was way way way too cold to actually sit on.

This was also how I learned I don't think I ever want a shower with a swinging door ever again. The rubber trim on the bottom messes up really easily and even when it does work, the door will dump water all over the floor every time you open it. Sliding doors don't look as cool and the rails are really annoying, but man I will take a sliding shower door any day.

Reply to How should I raise the level of the floor on concrete in an enclosed porch? by codenoggin

Ahhhhh these kill me in rental houses. I'll find a 1600sqft house and I'm like perfect! Then I look at pictures and it turns out it's a 1350sqft house with a big enclosed patio they're trying to sell as a bedroom. Oh hell naw. Covered patios are not bedrooms.

I agree with the self leveling cement. Plywood's gonna probably gather moisture like crazy.

> Of course, with all of the reddit discussions and YouTube "documentaries" about how automation and AI are coming for "low-skilled" work (that actually requires a lot of skill, but is called that so they can be paid less), it's funny that the jobs that AIs are disrupting are mostly art, music, and writing.

I despise the term "low skill" because it's so disrespectful, and completely tone deaf from a business perspective. It's like saying "there's nothing we can learn from people who work in that role" except people in these roles are almost ALWAYS the people with the feet on the ground who ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEST.

You can almost always tell a well-run organization and a badly run one just by this alone.

Reply to comment by redditsux4me in Dashcam install to Subaru Legacy with hidden wires by Rick91981

Is the principle behind these sorts of things being safe that the wires going to the mirror have to be rated for 7.5A because the smallest fuse on that panel is 7.5A? So you can safely wire additional things inline without the risk of running too much current through the wires?

I've always been sketched out at the idea of tapping existing connections because I figured they wouldn't have much available overhead. Heheh. I mean, there's no telling if that mirror isn't already wired with lights and other things that take up the rest of the (presumed) 7.5A circuit?

It'd be much nicer if I could just make a little extension cable instead of sticking tap pins into the connector like that.
