But, furring strips don’t have the integrity or quality control to be structural components. Part of why they’re so cheap is because they’re complete junk structural.

I think might be confusing furring strips (a specific type of wood product) with anything laid against another structure (brick wall, studs, etc).

I just realized that you’re confusing gypsum board with drywall. While they are similar, gypsum board can be used for the loads you’re describing.

Drywall, however, cannot.

Those aren’t furring strips in that photo. That’s dimensional lumber. In this case, those spans are large enough that they require the strength of actual lumber.

No, that’s not structural since the furring strips are not integral to load bearing capacity of the structure.

In your sheet metal example, they are only there for visual reasons - to help keep the roof flat. The roof can be put down without the furring strips. It might bend, but it still function as a roof.

Well, you’ve changed the goalposts from drywall on furring strips to a shear wall.

Yes, it provided load support but it’s not providing structural load support…..

To be extremely clear, your own, provided definition, is not talking about structural components.

Yes, on an interior, non-structural wall drywall can stiffen the structure. No, that does not mean the drywall is structural.

Drywall is not structural on block walls. The blocks are structural themselves.

The drywall may help minimize shifting/settling but the dreary is not a structurally required component of the block wall.

Well, if your dadoing your probably not using soft wood dimensional lumber….

No, that’s is not structural.

Structural means it’s intended to support and transfer loads in a way that cannot be safely removed.

Since neither the furring strips or drywall are part of a structural requirement, they are not load bearing.

I thought he wash damaging my car, so I attempted to damage it more with bullet holes.

Eh, Apple offers essentially zero cost financing.

If you actually have the cash and budget for this, it’s better to invest that $4k.

And if your employer doesn’t want you working elsewhere, they should put you on garden leave.

This won’t be COVID.

We already have a vaccine for this. We don’t need to develop and trial it, we just need to produce it.

Well, for one, we don’t have bases positioned in the vast expanse between…..checks….Israel and Gaza.

I believe most of these shootdowns came from the Red Sea, Iraq, and Syria’s.

Well, for one, the Iranian attack was a missile attack that could be taken down by anti air missile.

Two, USA isn’t exactly irans ally

$40m isn’t that much for a company with a valuation of Reddits.

Not really any conspiracy here

I’d wager him to be counting on a favorable business environment to continue his loan profiteering.

I don’t really find that to be damning. They’ve been trying to turn a financial windfall for a while. That’s just them finally cashing out.

Don’t think med school had TAs

Nearly the exact same one.

Med school isn’t high school or university. It’s largely large group lectures with individual rotations in health care settings.
