  • Most import vehicles come with them for shipping iirc, but not domestics, it’s a feature on some off-road models though.

    At least from what I’ve noticed in Canada. My stock Ram 1500 has two on the front for example, but they’re more for 4x4 towing/crawling.

  • You and I both know it was not your first offense, you're entitled to your opinion on the rest, but we don't play with rule 3 - especially when it is blatantly ignored.

    Aren’t the logs public? It was the second action on my account, the first being a petty mod removing one comment and not other “worse” one. So yeah no it friggen was, so you did zero leg work before issuing a community ban. Nice job!!!

    Also if you'd like to get an alert for why your comment was removed or why you were banned, I'd recommend making a feature request to the Lemmy devs, I agree it'd be nice to get alerted when you did something against the rules and what rule, we post that in the mod log but it unfortunately doesn't tell the user without them digging into modlogs.

    Lots of communities have an automod set up to send a message to users, or you know as part of your mod duties you could provide that disclosure so you can work on bettering your communities that you want to moderate…

    Come on dude, this is two months of you defending this person instead of removing the offending troll, they created work, and instead of dealing with it appropriately or doing what was right. You just let them give your communities comment metrics and shadow moderated a bunch of people.

    What a strange way to mod… fucking yikes buddy. You had someone clearly coming in to cause shit, so I reported some comments, like the sidebar says to do. And I get my comment moderated and banned. What a mod guys!

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • how hot do you think the air coming out of a duct is? Also, this isn't a discussion about what codes allow, this is about what happens in practice.

    Its hot enough to catch wood on fire… thats why metal ducts have very specific code clearances to combustible's… yikes… yeah thats the education level on this topic here…? The duct gets a lot hotter than the air coming out of it… try touching an operating one sometime…

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • It’s not a thing in real life either…

    HVAC techs will use the anemometer that’s part of their standard kit, they aren’t going to tie a fire hazard that collects dust to a duct….

    If you see them left behind, that’s because the company was too cheap to cleanup their garbage, they would ONLY be used while the techs were actively diagnosing a persistent issue, but it should be removed when done.

    Why do people perpetuate obvious fake Hollywood stuff? Do you think code will allow you to permanently affix something flammable to a duct that would be heated and can catch it on fire…..?

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • In my first comment I explained how it’s used in COMMERCIAL buildings.

    And techs will use tools instead of ribbons, since tying ribbons to ducts, attract dust and can be a fire hazard, most codes explicitly forbid their use.

    And great story about the hack company fixing your MUA and leaving their garbage behind since they were too cheap to pay someone to remove stuff they shouldn’t have put in in the first place.

    It’s always funny when laymen’s try to say something they saw a hack doing is somehow an industry standard technique or something…. Anemometers are cheap and standard hvac tech equipment. Gives you an exact answer instead of, it flutters….

    It’s a Hollywood trope, full stop. People think it’s used in real life since people see the trope and some idiot desk worker wants to think their AC isn’t working.

    HVAC techs aren’t going around tying fire hazards that’ll collect dust and look like garbage in 2 weeks to vents people…. Hollywood really loves exposing rubes with these hella obvious fake tropes…

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • The practice is only used when the vents are hard to reach, Hollywood puts them eveyrwhere, like OP said behind a toilet, where the technician can easily verify by hand or with the actual tool to measure airflow so they have an actual metric to see if it’s deteriorating.

    Its a Hollywood trope.

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • Why would you be using a camera? Is Hollywood inside you house lmfao. The vents are also easily reachable without a ladder, so you wouldn’t need a camera anyways? So why are you suggesting a camera?

    This isn’t a thing in real life, never has, never will be. It’s a Hollywood trope…. Let’s see someone post a picture from their house, this isn’t a thing and people here are yanking your chain OP.

  • Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • What was rule breaking about a comment discussing why someone would be doing something…? It wasn’t even a response to them…. I didn’t insult them, you left all the other users comments in that thread…. And I was adding to the discussion.

    The comment was 3 months ago………… and this was the same user as this one which was 2 months between them.

    You've had multiple rule breaking comments, especially last month.

    3 months ago……….

    Also, the modlog for every community is and has been public.

    What does a public mod do when a user isn’t even informed about moderated comment, why it was moderated or what they can do about it….? If a user isn’t informed they did something wrong, they can’t fix it, and banning someone for their first offense on an account is just fucking wild lmfao.

    Context dude as a mod you should be using it, not swinging your fucking dick around moderating comments because someone is intentionally causing a disturbance. Ban the one causing the fucking shit next time. Does it seriously make sense to moderate and ban 100s of users instead of the one ass causing the issues…?

    So again, this mod is nuts banning users for no reason. Maybe if you want to ban someone for no reason, leave them a comment, explain what they did wrong… since you know how the fuck can someone fix what they did wrong if they aren’t informed…. You were defending this account for at least 2 months. It was 3 months ago I was banned and this post was a month ago… clearly you should have dealt with the cause of the problem mate… fucking hell

  • Ribbons on vents. Why?
  • Idk, usually I can just tell when I get hot or cold if the central air isn’t working myself.

    It’s a thing for commercial buildings with stuff high up snd you can’t feel the draft from without a ladder, but not in houses or trains or anywhere else Hollywood slaps them. It’s not a thing, why are so many people trying to claim it is? Lol

    Let’s see yours on your vents if it’s a thing then.

  • Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • Lmfao, I just found out my app has a mod log and saw one of my comments was removed by this mod. My comment wasn’t even a response to the person, and it was “probably a new form of attention seeking” and they moderated it and banned me from the community….

    The mods a nut job apparently.

  • Is this mold?
  • It don’t look like mold, and I’m not saying it is or isn’t.

    BUT, there is many different type of trichomes actually, some do look like stringy/webby. Google can be your friend here use “different trichomes” as a stepping off point.

    The other Q though would be do you have pets or work around them? Could be pet hair getting in the goods.

  • [WIPW] What's your Work In Progress project that you can share on this wistful Wednesday
  • Thanks growmie!

    Yeah all of this was completely unexpected additional stuff after the dog passed away, so I still have all my Other projects at like 50% and 80% done, but you know life. And since a plan is just a list of stuff to go wrong….

    Apparantly they just let you walk out with puppies now…. So there’s a bit of a hurry on this before my yards destroyed…

  • [WIPW] What's your Work In Progress project that you can share on this wistful Wednesday
  • Me, I am working on a dog run for a new dog. Requires a lot of “before we close it off” projects though.

    Shed for storage, pea gravel for “doggie litter”, it will be latticed at the edges, put some pvc panels on the ceiling to protect it from the rain/snow (and collect it!).

    I think that about covers the extent of THIS project, puppy tax to follow.

  • Like a glove. New shed growmies!
  • Honestly, not one of my favorite places to go.

    I ordered it off of Amazon, but it’s available in a bunch of places. I find you can avoid the cheaper knockoff stuff if you find stuff that’s available in brick and mortar stores. And get it from Amazon if it’s cheaper, try to support local when it’s not an arm and a leg…

  • Large raised beds are doing great...ish!

    Birds like picking their seeds that they throw into it back out, and I think the neighbors cats gotten into it a couple times. Working on some critter guards, but I’ve been spending my time modifying under the deck for a larger dog run for when I get a new dog. The sheds new, still in progress, need probably 8 more yards of rock underneath as well.

    Slowly but surely, this week is a rest week though.

    Day 31, just about half way!

    Dahlias!

    Store bought starters, but they’ve been transplanted and these are new blooms since getting established!

    Mini raised bed #3

    In this bed, for starters we have San marzano, brandy wine and love gourmanson sunrise tomatoes, and some pollinator flowers.

    For seeds we have sage, iceberg lettuce and Lebanese cucumbers, scatter planted we have red radishes and rainbow carrots.

    Getting time to start thinning here soon.

    Do you guys cut or pull when thinning?

    Should you thin an apple tree at all?

    Getting mixed opinions on my Google-fu, some say to give the tree only a few spots to grow, others say to leave them. So what’s Lemmys opinion? Thin at all? If it’s clustered leave one per cluster?

    I have two, they are mixed species trees from HD, there’s September ruby red, battleford and good land apples.

    This is mini raised bed #1

    This is the first planted bed out of them all, from left to right, we have tomatoes, sunflowers, peppers and marigolds.

    For seeds, basil, kale and cucumbers, as well as autumn carrots and watermelon radishes scatter planted through the bed.
