  • Will it hold? Probably. Is it a good idea? Probably not.

    Good screws to attach one side of the mounting plate to a stud will definitely be enough to hold the weight of the tv and the mount. That said, if you ever adjust the tv, that will put a lot of pressure on the side that is only attached to the drywall. Even if you use drywall anchors, they’re not meant to support weight/force in that way. The drywall will get messed up, the mounting bracket could feasibly bend given that it’s mounted securely on one side and not the other.

    That’s kind of the worst case scenario. I would go for the peace of mind and install blocking that spans the studs which you can attach the mount to very securely.





  • I never used a bag in a shop vac until a few years ago and my life was instantly changed. I’ve only changed my filter once or twice in that time, and none of the nonsense of trying to whack/wash the dust out of it to keep it alive. Suction stays super strong.

    For saw dust, I would think the filter itself is not a huge concern and that the two most beneficial things would be a cyclone and a bag in the shop vac.




  • How is any of the information random? The OP title says vague things like “makes history” and “ruling”. While you can guess that the ruling is positive based on it saying that it makes history, the headline on the article is unambiguous and much better in my opinion.

    First South Asian country

    This describes the manner in which this ruling was historical.

    Recognize same-sex marriage.

    This describes what the actual ruling is.

    To use a hyperbole to illustrate a point, the OP title could just as well describe a situation where Nepal had ruled that same sex couples who marry must be banished to outer space. Hypothetically, It’s just as much a historical ruling as what actually happened.

  • I guess my question is how does Lemmy solve this problem in particular? Maybe I don’t understand it fully, but is there anything stopping an instance from shutting down and losing all the content associated with that instance? Users still have the ability to delete their posts and comments, don’t they? I do think there are many benefits to the decentralized system, but in these specific ways I’m not seeing a tangible benefit.


  • Do you still have the tick? The best thing to do is Google search for a service that you can mail in or drop off the tick. They will identify the type of tick, as well as test for the diseases that ticks carry. If everything is negative then you’re good to go, but if it tests positive for something you can take that to your doctor.

    I just went through this process a couple months ago. Found a tick that had definitely been attached for a few days which is easily long enough for a disease to be transmitted. Mailed the tick in, got the results in an email a few days later that everything was negative.
