They really had the gall to mention the benefits for families moving in.

Oh hey, I just saw you had already posted pretty much the same recommendation I had in mind. I’d personally 3d print an attachment, but your solution is readily available for everyone and cheap. Kudos!

Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn’t have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.

Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won’t provide a lasting solution.

I can only confirm what ballskicker and Shadow said - I’d remove the old caulk both mechanically and with the help of a solvent and then caulk it back in.

However, I’m also pretty sure it will eventually sag again without the help of a retaining mechanism.

Given the pictures you posted (which might not provide the full context), I assume someone really just caulked a glass panel into the profiles and left it at that. I assume you would like to avoid drilling the glass (can be done, but is tricky and has the potential to create a mess pretty quickly), so I’d simply manufacture a retaining cap that closes off the profile and holds the glass panel in place. I’d drill a hole into the ceiling to hold the cap in place, or into the profile, depending on the material and the remaining situation at hand.

I’m talking about mounting that right here, after sliding the glass back in / caulking, of couse:

If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

Thank you for exposing me to this. I will now hate you forever.

Honestly, if you’re in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably also want to have a look at FairMail instead.

Edit: phrasing

I shudder to think OP’s post was written by an actual person…

What’s a good way to financially support artists directly, without involving shady corporations, and without resorting to piracy?

I think you might have replied to the wrong comment.

If you are talking about Germany, that is no longer true - landlords can not deny installations without sound reason:

The surrounding lawa were updated July this year, so it is a recent change.

Jokes on you, I look her up once a year to see what she ended up doing. I’m 100% her name is Danielle.

Kirsha Kaechele is delightful. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much of her old Ayahuasca - consuming self is left, she mentioned herself she became a lot more conservative.

Still, she did a bunch of interesting projects: Eat the Problem, 24 Carrots, a rap themed gun buyback in New Orleans…

Now that I think of it, this post is mostly me reflecting what I think of her as an artist these days. I was having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that success in the art world often forces the artist to adapt and conform, and I could see some of that in her as well. I have to say though, she is probably doing a good job and I shouldn’t be complaining.

But it’s not just information, someone sat in front of their computer and put the work in to design it, then print it and iterate.

You’re paying for that process, and for the time and effort the person took to acquire the necessary skills.

However, there should be a noticeable price difference due to the easy scaling / replicatibility when distributing digital goods.

I’m with you insofar as the final product feels like it should be 3 bucks, not the file.

This, however, is about diagnostics, i. e. annotating delete with a reason (message) to express developer intent when deleting a function, not about memory management.

Oh, I did grow up before video games were a thing, so I am aware of how CRTs worked. You just made it sound like CRTs would somehow provide tactile feedback while gaming, which I couldn’t place at all, given the context.

Sorry, tactile response from a CRT?

You share a room with the maid?

I’d go with Scottish. In any case, I like it.

If I look at something that I don’t understand but that a large group of people clearly values very highly, trained experts in the field included, my first instinct is not to form a dismissive opinion based on personal preference. I’ll typically try to find whatever is hidden from me upon first glance. You clearly adopted a different strategy.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that your judgement of art is ultimately meaning-, or even insightful?
