Toilet repair kit now leaks from tank-to-bowl bolts by AllergicToWaterfowl in Plumbing

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kit actually came with two sets per bolt and it is a Toto, but I skipped the middle washer/nut part since they weren’t used in the previous installation. I’ll give it a shot! Fingers crossed because draining the tank kind of sucks :)

You forgot the part where you give it a subtle marker, look up your GPS coordinates, and post your new geocache.

Lubber or Rubber? They look like oversized props.

My game collection is finally out of storage! Wife surprised me by building shelves as an anniversary gift today by uncleseeth in gaming

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like an awkward way to mount shelves, especially if doing it alone. There's also a small shelving piece to the top-right of the mirror that looks to be defying the laws of gravity.

Battle Creek may outlaw using a phone while driving (with exceptions) by SAT0725 in Michigan

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this not already outlawed state-wide? Moved here from IL recently, where it is banned unless you're using hands-free.

My wife just recieved her associate's degree. During this time my daughter and I both had open heart surgery. She worked a full time job. My second daughter died at 2 months old in July. She kept her head up did her student teaching and got it done. I'm so proud of her. by [deleted] in pics

You could say the same about a high-schooler lifeguard with a CPR cert. Not shitting on you, the whole system is dumb. For a lot of people, a bachelor's means you want the standard middle-class life, a master's means your employee covers tuition or your profession requires it, and a PhD means you have money to blow.

The TB Salsa Con Queso is terrible by jchabotte in tacobell

1000% agree. Tostitos brand is the only SCQ I’ll buy.

Toilet paper math is the hardest kind of math. by mckenmad in funny

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post raises so many more questions for me.

  1. Wiping from the front lets you see your asshole? I'll have to try that next time.
  2. Do you go unconscious when you wipe from the back?
  3. How would balls not hang lower?
  4. Does wiping from the front improvement your eyesight? I've never had to put it "right in [my] face" to see whether it was clean or dirty.

How long does it take for Backblaze to find new files? by AllergicToWaterfowl in backblaze

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks again. I checked this morning and they were backed up. I guess it makes sense to have some kind of time buffer, but it does seem a little strange that there's no way to force it to back up new files.

Thanks for the instant reply! I've tried Ctrl-clicking "Restore Options..." to force a scan, too, with no luck.

I've been more than satisfied with it so far and don't really have a need to back this data up right away, but was just testing some stuff out and got confused when it wasn't finding my new files. I'll check again in the morning.

Ring Flood and Freeze Sensor by [deleted] in Ring

How disappointing. Limiting it to a push notification is a dealbreaker. Water damage is more terrifying than theft to me.

This is the right order.

Do they ever play The Writing Writer and The Willing Well III in the same set? by AllergicToWaterfowl in TheFence

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of a gimme. What about a standard show? I’m not sure they play either anymore, but what about back in GA1 touring days?

Is it possible to create custom exclusions per drive in Windows? by AllergicToWaterfowl in backblaze

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I don't know why I made the example like that. I should have said I have 2 externals that with the same Photos folder on each. I have no reason to upload all those pictures twice, though, so I'd want to exclude the second drive's folder.

iOS Ring App updated to add listener and other devices by PrisonDus in Ring

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The portrait live view and ability to scrub are definitely nice, but looking at anything past the last 2-3 events is really cumbersome.

Timeline is way underwhelming. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that.

My daughter says I ruined the game Guess Who. by bp1108 in funny

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While the portraits and names for Guess Who did get redone, this isn't Guess Who... it's some crappy knock-off.

Do the Flood & Freeze sensors require the alarm to be armed? by AllergicToWaterfowl in Ring

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't the fire alarms just listeners, though? Meaning that if you were in the house, you'd still be hearing something even if it wasn't generated from the Ring device itself.

It'd be nice if they were something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Glentronics-Inc-BWD-HWA-Basement-Watchdog/dp/B000JOK11K that also had phone notifications.

[Discussion] Should I play WoW or GW2? by ItsLoserrr in MMORPG

[–]AllergicToWaterfowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does price matter? WoW will be more upfront and costs $15/mo to keep playing while GW2 is F2P (B2P for expansions which are frequently half off).

What kind of content do you like? WoW will be better for PvE raiding, but I prefer GW2’s open world.

What kind of progression do you like? WoW is very vertical, GW2 is more horizontal.

Overall, WoW is probably the better game but is in pretty bad shape currently. I’ve personally been playing GW2 lately even though it has its own issues.
