    Honestly, the error rate for QR codes is absurdly high, you can get away with a ton of manipulation and quality loss and they'll still work. I don't remember exactly what the amount of error/deviation you're allowed (I swear it's something wild like 40% or higher) but this is how people can manage to embed QR codes in weird places you'd never expect, and get artistic with them. As long as a certain low percentage of pixels are good, you're golden.

    I can do ya quality QR codes if necessary, but shifty' is right about the level of built in correction. A little trick for ya is to use tiny url first and then QR that result...

    And then when you're done with it, and a few people use it, change where the TinyURL is pointing, aiming at other, more fun, safe-for-work stuff.

    That’s kinda what I meant but switch the red vertical to a panel 15-3/4 that comes straight out from the rear wall, then your 1x2 can return onto it as well so your shelves would have 3 sides bearing. Either way will work but the panel basically works as a partition so your shelf layout can be completely different on both sides. Like your shelving 2 separate spaces. But fawk yeah lumber prices hurt. They don’t sell melamine in 23-3/4 where you’re at? You could get a full sheet but then you’ve gotta edge-band the edges. Upside is you could cut the shelves as ‘L’s rather than 2 piece them. :notsure: Just tryin to throw stuff out there to make decisions more difficult for ya. :boink::rofl:

    Nah, it gives me good ideas. I don't do this daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. It's one of those random jobs that pops up infrequently enough I never know what'll be in stock or how I'll make it. I normally just pre-order the melamine built-in kits from a company near me similar to California Closets and install, but this needs to be weight-bearing, extra-BS storage for camping, shop vac, random bins of heavy shit, that type of thing.

    No 23-3/4 Melamine I could find in worthwhile lengths. I only checked at Home Depot b/c the store was literally 1/2 mile from a tire shop I had to drop my best friend off at today, getting up his car. I'm going to try and clear out the closet tonight, and maybe get to hanging horizontals after. I'm realizing the 1.5x's I bought are pretty warped and don't want to use them for verticals. I may run by Lowes and see what they've got.

    My black truck has clear coat , and I'm wondering if it's factory. I know the white ones don't. In the 100 series land cruisers of the same era as ours, it was both the black and white ones with no clear coat. If anybody has an original paint black best gen, let me know.

    How unlucky can I be! Got off shift this morning. Pretty sure I’ve caught something.
    My 7yr old daughter has been dealing with a fever the past few days
    5yr old has crap in her lungs, no voice and a cough
    My 3 month old has RSV and is on breathing treatments.
    I’m supposed to go in for surgery Thursday for a septoplasty and a turbinate reduction.

    That sucks man, stuff is going around pretty bad here. ER’s are full. My old man has needed some similar nasal work, but he doesn’t do doctors too well. it’s so bad he has no sense of smell or taste.

    Thanks.
    Yeah I know they’re full…I took a lot of sick people in the past two days. Like another round of COVID or something.
    That Sucks more than my situation. I can still smell and taste but I’ve put this surgery off for like 10 years and with all our health issues this year and reaching out deductibles and stuff it’s the cheapest it could be so I really need to get it done before the new year.
    Sorry everyone, just white guy whining about first world problems

    Nope, nearly all Descendents tracks are legit, not covers.

    Our 10yo's school has continued testing twice a week, Tue/Thu, even on the backside of the 'rona. We get the results in a shared sheet. Going back 12 weeks, consistently 0 cases. Suddenly, 2 weeks ago, 3 cases. Last week, 9 cases. I hear today's round already saw 10 new cases. So yeah, there's an uptick happening. Seems like everywhere else lags about 3-5 weeks behind the school, so expect it could get worse soon.

    Lots of Flu-A going around. Wife has a coworker in their Boston office that went in feeling like garbage. They tested him for flu popped positive for Flu-A. Then they called him back the next day and told him he had the 'rona also. I didn't even know it was possible to juggle two viruses at once.

    But hey, on another note, about 7-8 years ago, I went into for septoplasty, a roto-root, turbinate reduction, rhinoplasty to fix multiple broken noses (fights/injuries). No clue why septum was deviated and in the shape of a question mark in my head, but I'd basically been living the previous 15 years with one big, long sinus infection that I was essentially taking 4-6 courses of antibiotics a year to tamp down. Could rarely breath out of more than one nostril at a time.

    Best surgery ever. Whereas I'd lived so many years with a sinus infection, I've only come close to getting another sinus infection once, about a year ago. Doc did some weird procedure where he harvested some cartilage, and made a natural "breathe right" strip up in my nostrils to hold them more open.

    I hope your surgery goes as well, when you have it. It's a lot of hassle, but worth it. If yours is anything as aggressive as mine, they'll have you in for follow-up visits to remove scabs from your turbinates. My doc would pump my nostrils with heavy-duty Afrin and some numbing stuff, then get in there with a light and tweezers and peel lines of scabs out. It felt unusually good, as gross as it sounds. Sometimes he had to sear some bleeds shut, which sucked.

    Wouldn't trade it for the world.

    Wow. Crazy they are still testing there. Yeah I assume they are gonna do the same for my nose but the ENT doc is a family friend and I didn’t really ask many questions. Just told her to do whatever was needed haha. Splints for a week and mouth breathing is really gonna suck though.

    Tell her to overdo it. Especially when it comes to grinding down and hollowing out the pockets (cavities) in your sinuses. The turbinate reduction is (I think) what had the most impact for me. All it took was breathing in any allergen, my turbinates would swell, and basically clog/block everything in my head, and just contribute to infection. The more wide-open it is in there, the better you are IMO.

    I know guys who've gone in for 2, 3 and een 4 turbinate resections. The ENT who did my surgery is known for going over-the-top. He doesn't get repeat visits. He fixed two other guys' sinuses a close friend of mine knew, and both had been in at least once to see another doc for a roto-root. Then he fixed that same friend's reliance on CPAP machine. Then he fixed my sinuses. Better to go a little overboard than to need to go back in for a second roto-root. It's not a fun experience.

    And yup, still testing, still quarantining kids who test positive. My kid's campus is in the purple rows. All 3 campuses showed a huge uptick last week. Data is king, this isn't random. You'll probably see the same outside the more-urban areas within the next month or two, ripples carry. Small percentages overall, but trends are trends.

    Well, on the bright side I sent that bottle your way earlier today via Fedex ( @shifty` triggered). Also included a few K cups of some Texas coffee that's the tits. Should get there all shattered in a couple of months. Just kidding, my office has a good setup with them and seems like our stuff is prioritized.

    Yeah, I'm wondering if these guys with clear may've had their truck repainted at some point and just don't realize it. Toyota continued using single-stage paint on non-metallics from the factory for years after the 1st gen went out of production. Supposedly white Tundras still use single stage today, current production.


    My neighbor has that cold, whatever the hell it is. She tested negative for everything, twice (she has to, for work reasons). But definitely has something. Said it doesn't feel viral, but also not like a sinus infection. More like bronchitis.


    Slap this one on some stuff. The pixelated image is the tell.

    You sure you want to use that stuff? I think it's one of the ones that can over-swell gaskets.

    FYI, if you have one near you, Advance Auto Parts usually has AT-205 in stock. And it's Prime on scAmazon too (it'll probably auto-link that last instance of "AT-205" because it's not in quotes) for quick delivery.
