And some newer - it's more efficient to use 2x6s on 24" centers vs 2x4s on 16s, in terms of exposure for exterior walls.

But it's also worth knowing older houses took "on center" measurements as more of a suggestion. I insulated the crawlspace in my 120-year old house last year and the joist spacing was interesting, to say the least.

Yes they do - normal studfinders don't work on lath & plaster walls, so magnetic's about the only option. They can be tricky, though, as the lath isn't necessarily only nailed together over studs, or like jooes mentioned, some walls use wire mesh.

I've got drywall over lath & plaster, so I knew to get a magnetic studfinder. But whoever did the drywall apparently felt it was fine to just go into the lath with the screws, rather than concern themselves with finding studs. I still have no idea where the studs are in most of my walls.

I saw plenty of them trying with whatever the hot altcoin of the day was. Long, convoluted explanations that mostly boiled down to "like an ACH transfer with seven extra steps"

That the way unemployment is measured is arguably BS, sure. But if it's compared against prior numbers where the method of measurement is the same, it's an easy way to see which way the numbers are headed.

Trump got called out for claiming unemployment under Obama was north of 40% then, in Feb '17, with Trump in office for less than two weeks, proclaiming he had just made the best unemployment numbers ever thanks to his bigly genius business brain.

You need a much bigger fan and a much bigger intake. You're not getting good results because you're pushing a fan of unknown cfm with a 2" intake, expecting it to effectively clear a room efficiently.

How big is the room? How many cubic feet are you trying to clear, and what would be efficient enough? An 8'x10'x8' room is 640 cu ft. A 50cfm fan would take nearly 13 minutes to clear the room, where a 150cfm fan would do it in a little over 4 minutes.

They haven't abandoned it - they're working with Bosch, one of their primary suppliers.

Tesla has been promising it's "two years away" for 7 years. Despite Musk confidently stating FSD-equipped Teslas have all the hardware required, they don't even know what's required, being there are no L5-capable vehicles on the roads. Teslas have also move to optical cameras only, which are likely the cause of the phantom braking issues that now have them under investigation by the feds. Keep in mind that's separate from the investigation as to why Teslas have a bad habit of plowing into parked emergency vehicles.

Teslas are still only capable of L2 automation, which is not a lot of progress over 7 years.

> With flying cars coming up quick

Flying cars are not "coming up quick", for a whole host of reasons.

Didn't he first promise it was two years away in 2015? and 2017, 2019, 2021...

Meanwhile, new Teslas only have optical cameras, not even radar any longer. They've taken a whole lot of people's money promising the FSD they've paid for is right around the corner. They're not even leading the pack in automation anymore. They're still dicking around with L2 automation while Mercedes is getting ready to release L3-capable cars.

Not just that, though - are non-autonomous cars going to be outlawed? Even if a full L5-capable car were released tomorrow, it would be decades before they were common and inexpensive enough to replace non-autonomous vehicles for a huge chunk of the population

This is not even close to true. Feel free to cite whatever you have to support what you're saying, though.

Did they knock the hole through the drywall with a hammer?

From the sound of it, he couldn't find one until someone pointed him the right direction

Fairly sure that would be a code violation.

Paper wasps built nests in the deck railing in my old apartment. As long as they stayed outside, we were all good. Never really had a problem with any other bugs on the deck when they were there, either.

I had a cat that passed last summer. I figure that might have something to do with the mice coming in. Haven't gotten another because vet's offices are still just bonkers and I'd like them to be something close to normal again before I get another cat.

I went months. What finally tore it was a mouse on the counter while I was cooking.

My house got invaded with mice. I lost count, but I've caught something around 20. I got an electrocution trap, which caught/killed three mice. The live-catch traps caught most of the rest. What finally stopped them was D-Con. I didn't even really want to poison them, but there were a number that were apparently too smart for the traps.

I think I was thinking of radon

Shouldn't CO detectors be low on the walls, being CO's heavier than air?
