  • I spend time highlighting how my past experience relates to the job and what I like about the place or job specifically. Depending on the vibe in the room I will add one quick, interesting, and nonoffensive thing about my personal life at the end. Basically recapping a cover letter but in a personable way because my writing is dry

  • Yes, if I said "hand me the scissors" it would just be one tool with two blades. I could also say "hand me a pair of scissors" to mean the same thing. Kind of like how "pair of pants" or "pair of glasses" mean just one of those items. For reference, I am from the US. Not sure if you meant English as the country or as the language. Either way, those usages are nonsense and I will happily keep using them.

  • You can use a methodology from soil testing for this that doesn't require extra gear. Sieves (like with soil texturing) will give you a faster more accurate answer. Here it is:

    Get a narrow glass jar. Fill it a little way with ground coffee. Fill with water. Shake. Set on shelf and wait a few hours up to a day.

    The larger pieces will settle first and the finer settle last. You can see the sorting of them through the glass. If you use consistent amounts of coffee and the same container, you can measure depth of layers. I.e. this grinder makes .5cm of fines to 3cm of ideal to .2cm of too large.

    Bonus is you can use this method for making cold brew, so you don't waste the coffee or water.

  • It is your choice on sanding. Sanding down the crack/tape area below grade will make the flattest patch. The alternative is feathering out your joint compound further to hide the bump. You'll be surprised how thick tape seems when you're going for a smooth finish.

    I like the flat (presanded) option because the bump option bothers me even though nobody else sees the difference.

  • You might want to use mesh tape on the big cracks to help stop recracking. I would poke around and see if the whole section is damaged too. You can replace large chuncks of drywall pretty easily and cheaply so no sense keeping damaged drywall if you're doing work anyway.

    The biggest issue is what caused the crack to begin with. If it is settling, make sure there won't be any more of that before doing a repair to the crack.

  • Interesting, it doesn't "spell check", but it does suggest words from its own dictionary for predictive text. Maybe I don't need the checking if I can just look at predicted spellings. Thanks for the thought.
