The Chicago Electric rotary tools from Harbor Freight work great if you only need it for the odd project here and there. $25 for the tool and a set of attachments, plus then you have one on hand for the future. I've used one and a few name brand Dremels over the years and it really is just as good (even if it may not last as long).

May be worth picking up an actual Dremel brand reinforced cutoff wheel to go with it, though. Those things chew through anything and take a real beating before breaking.

As a general rule, when in doubt I always will. You’re pouring new concrete to older, more cured concrete that is considerably harder, so they will expand and contract at different rates which will very likely cause a crack to open between them. If you’re tech-minded, here’s what the American Concrete Institure has to say: https://www.concrete.org/Portals/0/Files/PDF/302.1R-15_Chapter5.pdf

I've never done it but hey, when in rome...

I would think a cooling rack or baking tray insert would indeed be the best option. Those come in stainless, so no need to worry about coatings or caps, so if you can't find the exact size, you should be good to just cut one down to size and debur/smooth the cut ends without worrying about rust down the line.

I wonder if they added a tag, like "identification", then auto removed every post with that tag and auto comment to go to the other sub.

Might be annoying to force people to tag in order to post though.

When you make a report, reddit will — eventually — give you a reply letting you know if the person did or didn't violate the rules.

For example, one I've gotten a little while ago:

Thanks for submitting a report to the Reddit admin team. This content has already been investigated from a previous report. After investigating, we’ve found that the reported content violates Reddit’s Content Policy and have taken action.

If you’d like to cut off contact from the account(s) you reported, you can block them in your Safety and Privacy settings. You can also hide any posts or comments you don’t want to see by selecting Hide from the “…” menu.

If you see any other rule violations or continue to have problems, submit a new report to let us know and we’ll take further action as appropriate.

Thanks again for your report, and for looking out for yourself and your fellow redditors. Your reporting helps make Reddit a better, safer, and more welcoming place for everyone.

For your reference, here are additional details about your report:

In this case, I had to report the user's comments in the subreddit, but after banning them, they were nasty in modmail so I reported that and got that.

The way to know if they got a warning or tempban from that is to click the modmail link (in your report, obvs you can't see my modmail) and click the user from there - if they're still available, a warning. If they're suspended, they've been previously warned and now it's a 3, 7, ot 30 day ban. :)

These are mine now. You can't keep them.

>I made it clear to my users that I expected them to

Hahaha, or else what? Will they suffer on their yearly performance reviews?

You can try to make them mandatory, but that only works some places. I'm not sure where it does and doesn't, but one of the subs I used to mod had that set and people could still post without flair.

But again, it's part of being a mod. It's not hard to flair posts.

All of the other 'no' answers, plus that space is not permittable as a living space. Completely separately from the mechanical issues bedrooms have egress requirements that there is no way that space meets.

Spend the 20 bucks or so for a copy of "Aircraft Structures" by David J. Peery. Start working through it. You don't have to go all the way through to get yourself to a point where you can calculate stresses on a roof truss.

Get a copy of your local building code so you know how much load it needs to carry.

Once you're there, do the calculations and see if you're comfortable with the result, make up a test article in the back yard or garage and put loads on it (load it to whatever code requires and see how much it deflects, then load it until it breaks to know how much margin you have) to be sure, and then modify away.

Sure, but I’m pretty sure you can make flairs mandatory? Like won’t let you post without one. If your users are too stubborn to filter by flairs then they can walk and form their own subreddit

Well then it's a problem with moderation but it's solvable.

> It was more an expression of frustration at the people that can't figure out a sidebar or Google.

Speaking of which, experienced users and mods wouldn't do that would they u/Maoman1?

Why the fuck is this on DIY and not getting removed like the many posts I post here do? Where’s the DIY

Well, if you’re anything like the three different locksmiths I’ve had to employ, you had no idea how to open the lock without a key, so you smashed your way in through a window, boarded it up, and will tell us I now need to call a glazier and you’ll be back a week on Thursday to replace the lock.

> Is it really hard to get your daily users to use flairs…

Yes.

But in subs I mod, that's part of moderation.

We do. I wonder how effective that is though, it's hard to tell because they cant come back when banned.

Know someone with a table saw? Look up “French cleats”. Really the simplest way to hang cabinets.

> Doesn't stop them following up with abusive modmails though.

These days, reddit has changed - report those modmails and a lot of the time they'll get warned. Escalating to permaban if they don't stop. So always report bad behaviour. It makes a difference.
