Original question by @monovergent@lemmy.ml

I was putting up some wall decorations earlier today and was painstakingly realigning everything until it looked level to my eyes. It might be just a hair off, but if I don’t correct it, I’ll see the misalignment almost instantly and get bothered for the rest of time until I fix it. Has anyone investigated, or is there literature on the minimum perceptible angle from level to the naked eye?

    Aren’t plates required on studs where wire runs?

    Or are they somehow shooting through or around the plates?

      No my dude they’re blasting through the fuckin vinyl siding. Like with 16penny nails or some shit.

      It’s happened so many times that the local inspector said “fuck it run conduit”. It was a fun week at the supply house, every electrician was like “but… how?? And is that even legal?”
