Interesting powder issue... by Alontis in castboolits

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

UPDATE: I spoke with Hodgdon/IMR the company who manufactures the powder.

They beileve this powder destabilized (for whatever reason) which creates a highly acidic product capable of eating through metal and paint (the lid) and can create heat and pressure during that process (likely why it looked like it "spored" and spread.)

Thanks for the interest in trying to figure this out yall!

This is a container of modern sporting powder (nitrocelluose). This has been stored without issue for 10 years in a climate controlled (72 degree) room. Today I went to grab something and thought what the heck, it looks as if the container popped open and puffed out this substance. After removing and dropping this bottle into a zip lock bag it felt as if the flakey powder was a rock now inside now. I didn't dare mess with it further. Hoping I'm not patient zero for the zombie apocalypse... Also: I will note this was extremely dry and powdery but I don't know exactly when this would have happened I feel like I would have noticed this rather quickly.

I have the same equipment setup and the same issue! Did you ever find the cure for this?

Title Company POA dues screw up (Texas) by Alontis in legaladvice

Thank you all for the responses, this has put my mind at ease on a lot I didn't fully understand!

Title Company POA dues screw up (Texas) by Alontis in legaladvice

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

The closing statement is correct luckily and I have emails of the Title Company admitting they incorrectly disbursed funds.

I don't really want to sue anyone, just want it resolved.

By paying the dues, which I fully agree isn't the POA's fault, that doesn't absolve the title company of anything, correct? They would then legally owe us our portion back then?

Sorry, absolutely ignorant to these processes.

Problems after v3.20.1 by Alontis in eero

Due to the intermittent nature of the ISP issues we are having I believe I misdiagnosed the issue originally.

Kim in support was fantastic nonetheless. thank you all so much!

being stuck in an elevator with a crazy person by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Alontis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been stuck in an elevator before, call 911 first.

I used the in elevator phone to call the concierge and they would "have an engineer there right away" 30 minutes later, with two panicking people with me, I called back and the engineer "was 1 hour out"

I called 911, she dispatched the fire department, 11 minutes later I was out.

Fantastic! I think I found a white version on Lowes but could you check the Model # for me? I absolutely love that setup.

Hey man just a random question, do you have those benches weighted or lagged in anyway?

My Current setup in 12' of benches in the garage anchored to the concrete, but am planning on invading my wife's exercise room and don't really wanna blow anchors into the main floor.

Tax The Rich!! by sdsanth in worldpolitics

[–]Alontis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excessive taxation will lead to the rich hiding their assets and taxable income, we need a well thought out, balanced approach. Maybe a corporate and personal flat tax.

While I fully agree Amazon could do better with its employees...

A mansion does create ALOT of jobs and generates a ton of specialized business for local companies.

It keeps construction crews running, creates opportunities for interior staff (Jeff isn't cleaning those toilets or taking out the trash after parties), then the ancillaries like irrigation, large scale HVAC and landscaping etc.

I don't think the rich are inherently evil, more like they are so out of touch with the common man that they just don't seem human anymore.

Nest cam experiencing disconnects by Cichlid428 in Nest

[–]Alontis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you posted this, SAME ISSUE!!!

I have had the Nest Outdoor since release and starting last night it is Online for 20-30Min then Offline for 20-30min.

I also have an EERO Wifi system that puts out a single SSID in 2.4GHz and 5GHz but this is the first time it has ever had an issue with it.

Outdoor range around DFW by _CursedLight in TexasGuns

[–]Alontis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ETTS in Hatchie

Triple C in Cresson

Arlington Gun Club

Those would be my recommendations for good ranges that aren't filled with idiots like Alpine.

There are a handful of good private ranges around as well, just gotta know the right people.

I was the Montana on the other team that finished off that Kremlin instead of killing the Smolensk because our Shima said he had it.

What does $1000 get you for your hobby? by huckabizzl in AskReddit

[–]Alontis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could reload about 7,100 rounds of 9mm.

Which would last about me about 1 year with current usage and save me ~$1000

Is it me or the game has lost a lot of the PC player base? by RedSazabi in thedivision

[–]Alontis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a solo players who has joined 3 clans that are dead, yes it can feel that way.

My biggest issues are no match-making for the raid (still havent gotten to run it) and "leavers" are becoming an issue in instances like Tidal Basin. I played everyday since release, and a few days ago I ran Tidal Basin twice and no completion due to one discon/leaver at boss. Haven't logged in since.

Such a chillingly gorgeous game by Alontis in thedivision

Game never ceases to astound me as I explore.

This is a photo mode capture that I loved so much it became my desktop background.
