  • It’s v1 from a relatively new company, trying something unprecedented. I’m not surprised it has some major flaws. The first Gen framework 13 did as well.

    I own a Gen2 and a Gen3 framework 13 and they are both phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a slim laptop, that wasn’t overly concerned about cost.

    I’m sure the Gen3 FW16s will be great as well, but it’s going to be a bit before I would recommend them to anyone.

    What I think would be great for framework to do next is to design a purpose built eGPU for the framework 13. I would really enjoy something that would turn the FW13 into a decent gaming PC, while still retaining the portability for travel.






  • Call the fire department, they have detectors that they can use to look for gas leaks and other things that can set off a detector.

    You can also call your gas provider. One of those two should be able to track it down, it could be a lot of things, but two different smoke detectors going off in the same location is a huge red flag.

    Best case, you have something kicking up fine dust, worst case, you have a smouldering electric fire in your wall somewhere.

    Don’t panic, but also do not ignore this.












  • It’s poor reporting, but not necessarily poor research.

    Out of the 144, how many of them were under 42 years old.

    All we know from this article is that some number of 20-42 year olds had a cardiac arrest correlated with energy drinks. That age group is extremely young to have a cardiac arrest.

    If the 7 they looked at were all otherwise healthy 20-42 year olds, that consumed high levels of energy drinks, then there might be more to the story. Especially if they didn’t find any otherwise healthy 20-42 year olds that had a cardiac arrest and did not consume energy drinks.

    Though with only the information in the article, we have no way to understand what is really being said.



  • #1 - What direction are the floor joists running, you would typically run perpendicular to the joists to minimize waviness on the floor.

    #2 - You would typically run it longways past the door, so the sun shining in doesn’t go along the board length.

    #3 - There’s really no WRONG way to do this, because the LVP flooring doesn’t have much structure to it, and it’ll just follow the contouring of the subfloor. So whatever way you think looks best, go for it.

    #4 - If the walls are really out of square, you can also go at a 45 degree angle to hide that. It’ll use up a LOT more flooring, but it also looks pretty cool when it’s all done.

    edit: Picture #2 would be the more “right” way to do it, but again, if that’s not what you like, then it’s up to you. Also, not sure if this was just the way you are demonstrating, but you’re also going to want to have a little more randomness in the board ends, don’t have them alternate in a pattern like you have it.
