  • This is not redneck engineering, it’s how evening is attached to walls in the US as far as I can see. An ugly hole in drywall, and cover the rough edges with trim. I’m not sure what else you are looking for.

    Something outside the wall could use minimal wood working and nails or command strips.



  • Nice rant. I was born and raised in a “third world country” with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

    California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

    Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.










  • As others have mentioned, the Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. Phones are generally not water proof, so don’t go dunking them in water expecting them to work. Use a case for that, also if it floats all the better.

    Adding a sealant when you close it isn’t a huge chore, although it’s nice to be able to just replace the battery without any tools, it’s better than charging. Also it would still be water resistant until the first battery change.

    Watches have replaceable batteries while having replaceable batteries, too.

    As a side note, if you drop electronics in water, take the battery out before taking them out of the water, so that the short doesn’t destroy them. The battery will be toast, but that’s cheaper to replace.
