However, as my intern proved, not everyone knows that there is a difference between nominal and actual lumber dimensions. Yes, that lawsuit was a little ridiculous. Now they must also label their products using descriptive words like “inch” and “feet” instead of standard industry symbols like “ or ‘. They were ordered to pay a $1.6 million dollar settlement in California and were required to label their lumber with both nominal and actual dimensions. Even though the nominal size is less than the actual size, it is still called 2-by-12 lumber. The Marin County, California Department of Weights and Measures took civil action against Lowe’s because they unlawfully advertised their lumber according to the nominal dimensions. The actual size of 2×12 lumber is 1 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches (38 x 286 mm). According to their website, the purpose of these standards is to: "Establish nationally recognized requirements for products and to provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of the characteristics of a product."Ĭonsidering all of these facts, the entire building industry was scratching its head a few years ago when Lowe’s was sued over its lumber labeling policy. Product Dimensions and Colors: Actual Size: 1 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in Wt (lbs) Per Ft: 1. Each board will last for decades, saving time and money on replacement costs. Lumber sold in the United States in governed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This 2 x 4 board can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects. Yes, it might appear as if lumber mills are selling you one thing but giving you another - but it’s actually not like that at all. ![]() While comparing nominal and actual lumber dimensions, you might be thinking that this is another case of companies trying to pull one over on consumers. Here are the basic rules to keep in mind: This fact makes no difference in the building industry because architects and contractors are (hopefully) aware of this discrepancy.īelow is our lumber dimensions chart to help you quickly find the actual size: Īs you can see from the lumber dimensions chart above, there is a bigger difference between the nominal and actual size of larger lumber pieces. Most lumber is described using nominal dimensions but is actually smaller in reality. The actual dimensions of a 2x4 are 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches or 38mm by 89mm. During this finishing process the 2x4 shrinks. However, it must be dried and planed before it can be sold for purchase. When a 2x4 is cut from a large piece of lumber it is actually around 2 inches by 4 inches in size. The wood you find at your local home improvement store or lumber yard is described in nominal dimensions. Unless you’ve worked as a carpenter, you might be surprised to learn that a 2x4 is not actually 2 inches by 4 inches. She quickly replied “2 inches by 4 inches - duh” and went back to work. In spite of this, they refer to the lumber’s measurements as their original dimensions, despite the fact that the new dimensions are less than the actual dimensions.The other day I asked my intern a simple question: “what is the actual size of a 2x4?” Standard Deck Board 2x10' Actual Dimensions: 1.5x9. In this way, a lumber’s dimension is reduced. Standard Deck Board 2x4' Actual Dimensions: 1.5x3.5' Standard Lengths: 16 20 Custom Lengths: Not available Woodgrain: Both Sides Colors Available: All. Consequently, timbers with four-sided smooth surfaces lose thickness and width, reducing their actual dimensions. As thin layers of timber are sliced off by planning through each side of the timber, its thickness shrinks. The planning process creates a uniform thickness by smoothing the surface of the wood. Later, the hardware stores buy those lumbers and treat them to make them smooth from all sides. Plans are generally measured when they are rough-sawn in their original shape. Why is the actual size of a 2×4 lumber smaller than its nominal size? The length of a nominally lengthened board of 12 feet will actually be 12 feet. There is no difference in the length of a 2×4 board whether it is nominal or actual.Ī 2×4 will have an actual length of 6 feet if its nominal length is 6 feet. Since 2×4 lumber at hardware stores is usually a little smaller than advertised, measure it carefully to ensure that you get the right 2×4 lumber for your project. The actual size of a board is determined after it has been measured after planning. Nominal size refers to the dimensions of the lumber before it’s smoothed for all sides. And the measurement of a 2×4 board is taken when it was freshly cut. The reason for this is that hardware stores sell lumber that has been planned. ![]() The actual size of 2×4 lumber is 1 ½ x 3 ½ (38 x 76.2 mm), smaller than what is being advertised in hardware stores. Prettyscale isn’t real and can’t tell you if you’re ugly or beautiful. You shouldn’t take the results seriously. Pretty scale might be a fun game for some people, but is it accurate? No. Or make your face look extra short or long.įor a full explanation, check out this article: #3 Using picturesįinally, Prettyscale is not accurate because it uses pictures, and a picture isn’t the same as what you look like in real life.įor example, cameras can make your forehead, nose, or chin look bigger than it really is. Nonetheless, they are considered some of the most physically attractive people alive. Plenty of models, actors, and actresses would fail this test miserably. Prettyscale acts as if symmetry is all that determines who is ugly or beautiful. Think about everything that’s left out: Prettyscale doesn’t care if your teeth are clean or rotted, if your eyes are covered in boils, if you have bird feathers in place of skin. The fact that Prettyscale has you measure, like, 2 things about your nose is proof that it’s not capturing you in any detail whatsoever. The truth is, you’d need a whole lot more measurements than this to do what they claim. Prettyscale asks you to place points on your face, which gives you the feeling that they know what they’re doing. ![]() (Very kindness! Much helping!) So, Is Prettyscale Legit? Are The Results Accurate? When you upload a portrait image and select the gender, you can get the score of your face based on the golden face ratio. Once you upload a pic and go through a few measurements, Prettyscale gives you a number from 1 to 100 - ugly to beautiful.Īnd leaves you with a list of what’s wrong with your face. Pretty Scale uses the traditional method to analyze your face. Prettyscale works by measuring your facial symmetry and comparing your proportions to the ideal proportions for a man or woman. You now know which face shape you have, but which hairstyles suit your face shape? Find out here.You may have heard of Prettyscale, a website which claims to analyze facial beauty. Next Step - Which Hairstyles Suit My Face Shape? ☑ Your smallest measurement is the forehead. ☑ Your jawline is larger than the width of cheekbones. ![]() ☑ Your forehead measurement is larger than the jawline. ☑ Your face length is larger in measurement than the width of the cheekbones. ☑ Your forehead, cheekbones and jawline are all similar in measurement. ☑ Your forehead is greater in size than the cheekbones and jawline. ☑ Your measurements are then, in descending order, cheekbones, forehead then jawline. ☑ Your face length is the largest measurement. ☑ The angle of the jaw is sharp as oppose to rounded. ☑ Your cheekbones, face length, forehead and jawline are all fairly similar in size. ![]() ☑ The angle of the jaw is soft and not as defined. ☑ Your cheekbones and face length are larger than the forehead and jawline. ☑ Your forehead and jawline are a similar measurement. ![]() ☑ Your cheekbones and face length are a similar measurement.

![]() Pretty much any approach mixed with some astute dodging will do. Machine guns, rocket launchers, flame throwers, acid spitters, and even arc lightning rifles – there’s a piece of weaponry for every player in Daemon X Machina.īut it can be disappointing that the game never feels challenging enough to require you to actively switch between them. While some aspects of your Arsenal can be customised for cosmetic value, others will provide stat boosts or completely change your weapons. Weapons, armour plates, and decals are all provided in droves in a bid to really help to make your Arsenal your own. Daemon X Machina gives players hundreds of pieces with which to customise their Arsenal. It’s a huge shame because the system behind the combat – the customisation and the weapons available – are so numerous and so well developed.Īnd when I say numerous, I mean it. I don’t mind simplicity in games, but the game gives you so many tools without a dynamic spread of unique situations to properly utilise them. There were so many times where I just remained stationary, firing at enemies until a health bar drained, totally immobile. The combat, while intricate, does feel a little bit simplistic at times, lacking dynamicity. I suppose the developer’s assumed everyone played the previously released demo builds, but I’m not convinced everybody did. ![]() It doesn’t help that the game’s many systems and busy user interface aren’t explained to more novice players from the get-go and instead hidden behind optional menus and tutorials, which seems like a bizarre design choice. Bizarrely, despite the lowered health and loss of functionality, I enjoyed playing as my Outer more than my Arsenal in some missions. Some streamlining of the controls has occurred since the demo, but it still feels needlessly complicated and, if you’re not particularly dextrous, a little tough to play proficiently. There were times, however, where it felt like just a little bit too much was going on, whether it be controlling your Arsenal or activating a specific attack mode or even just pressing a combination of buttons to do so. Good feeling in an action game like this. Where I felt a failed dodge was anyone’s fault but my own, which is always a Outer, as the game calls them) plays great too. Smoothly enough to enable fast and frenetic battling, while your pilot (or The Arsenal itself feels weighty yet controls These smaller issues, the gameplay in Daemon X Machina is vastly improved since It’s almost ironic because the inclusion of the storyline, which I assume is meant to make things feel more fleshed out, detracts from the whole experience and if anything cheapens it. On the other, it does mean that Daemon X Machina feels rather barebones at times – like a portable only spin-off of a better franchise you’ve played elsewhere. On one hand, this feels like the perfect type of game for the Switch, with missions that rarely last more than five minutes that can be picked up and played with little fanfare. Between missions, you’ll listen to inane dialogue that’ll further flesh out the story between characters and factions, but otherwise, Daemon X Machine keeps things simple. Each mission has a distinct objective, and it’s here where you’ll earn most of the money and components, you’ll need to upgrade your arsenal. The general gameplay loop sees you fitting out your mech and heading out on missions. It’s a great little world that’s set up well in the opening moments of the game, but it quickly becomes clear that it’s all build-up with no pay-off especially with twists that are predictable.ĭaemon X Machina is at its core as a mech combat game, not unlike titles such as Zone of the Enders or Armored Core. You join a group of mercenaries to hunt down immortals, giant boss types enemies who walk the world, which has suffered from collapse following a collision with the moon. You play as the Rookie, a pilot of sorts who is naturally gifted at piloting mechs called Arsenals. There’s no debating it, Daemon X Machina tells a trope-laden anime-style story filled with pseudo drama. But it tries its hardest toĭifferentiate itself in the process which is to be commended. X Machina, which is coincidentally produced by a handful of Armored Core alumni,įalls into the same traps of its predecessors. This vein have problems with providing a full and well-rounded package. Growing up but not ones without their faults. Armored Core and to a lesser extent, Chromehounds were games that I loved Are some of my favourites, but unfortunately not really a niche that’s visited ![]() It’s especially recommended for side sleepers who need a little extra softness, and it’s a great choice for allergy sufferers, too, as it’s made with a specially designed Purotex which reduces moisture and dust-mite allergens.
