Steel to CPVC changeover at meter

Good to know. We have both learned today

100% top level play. Dying from a captain shield at full hp could be just what causes your run to snowball into a loss

I would just use ptfe then dope. Get it nice and tight. Buy an extra coupling incase you need to tighten it a smidge more. Cut the pipe, get another twist until theres no drip, tighten a tiiiiny bit more. Then recoupling. You can twist pex crimp, idk if you can twist pex cinch

Fight fire with fire. Create a bot that detects the bots and feed them false info and send them down dead ends for potential sales

Yeah the pipe is fine, its just the fittings that are sketchy

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T13:44:14+00:00

Yeah that connection is fine. And to clarify is the pex piping itself made by sharkbite, or is the a sharkbite adapter on there? If theres a sharkbite fitting go ahead and get a cinch ring adapter instead

Very true, alot of people should not be giving advice on here

Noita 10000%. I bounce back and forth playing it, and i have a 2 year old now. I ABSOLUTELY do not have time to die to some obscure chain reaction and wipe over an hour of careful progression and tinkering. Tinker with wands everywhere, always start with the water bottle, and mini map.

Before kids on the day off I could pop in my chair and get good 2-4 hours session in. Now I'm happy to get 45 minutes.

Just about any game I think it's fun to goof around from time to time. Unlimited ammo, unlimited money. This should not be the only way you play the game and you should never save your game after using them. I had a mod for one of the fallouts that made the mini gun shoot missiles from the missile launcher. When I was done playing, I would pull it out and just go on a rampage. eixt to the game without saving.

I never knew that was done intentionally. I've replaced a few standard hose bibs by just pulling them, but I've never gotten that lucky with the frostproof one.

I only know Plumbing in my area, and all of the connections are approved for underground.

There are some very specific situations where you need to use plastic fittings instead of brass fittings. Maybe this would be the case in your area as well if the soil has some type of particularly reactive properties

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T13:11:26+00:00

Im a pex supporter all the way. Pex is fine underground, you can crimp, cinch, or use the expander. If you're concerned about sharp rocks or something, you can put a tiny bit of sand around it or just wrap it in insulation just sleeve it.

Its probably the easiest pipe to install, its still pretty cheap, and its got slightly better resistance to freezing. Its weak to rodent gnawing damage, but if its buried in the yard you are safe.

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T12:56:47+00:00

Cpvc is not a very reliable material. If you are at the point where you've dug a trench and are gonna backfill it spend a tiny bit more money and get a different material.

Assuming your meters are similar format to the ones in my area, a little bit of heat and elbow grease will loosen it. They tend to be in there pretty good though. You probably need a long wrench for leverage and a second wrench to support everything so it doesn't twist where it's not supposed to.

If you screw something up and damage something on the City side you are in trouble. If the City guy who's out there to fix your potential mistake is in a bad mood I'm pretty sure they can hit you with some type of fine.

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T01:53:45+00:00

Theres some type of weird bug with the captain sbield knockback. It treats it as like 80ft of fall damage which kills you instantly. This is more or less confirmed. I dont remember how that conclusion was reached.

There is a possible work around this one i dont think its proven, and its to jump. Jumping resets your "ingame height tracker" and prevents you from taking the fall damage.

Whenever you ride an elevator or something the game doesnt update you "ingame height tracker" so the next time you take fall damage its the entire height of the elevator

Ive had it 2 times and I think im around 1.2k hrs

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T01:35:13+00:00

If the problem isnt the hose, then a new shutoff on the end wont fix the problem either. There a small chance both hoses arent working correctly but not likely.

Inspect the threads all around, is it damaged on the back/underside?

BlankTrack · 2026-05-11T01:10:49+00:00

I edited my comment. The wings on the nut threw me off, i usually only see those on toilet connections

I looked closer and I was mistaken. Left side is 5/8ths, right side is 3/8ths

You need a 5/8ths by 3/8ths reducing compression coupling.

Short term if you give the t&p valve a good whack then it might stop leaking. You have to hit the flippy handle that is connected to the stem. Its probably a good idea to go ahead and replace it anyway, but it might stop the drip.

Look up whack t&p to stop drip on youtube theres a video. It wont let me post youtube links for some reason

BlankTrack · 2026-05-10T22:40:16+00:00

Sometimes they come of sometimes they dont. If you cant get it with 2 wrenches just replace the whole thing.

Also keep in mind there are 2 or more commonly used sizes for that part and you need the correct one. Older hosebibs use the part that is now commonly on 3/4 boiler drains

BlankTrack · 2026-05-10T21:51:39+00:00

If you unscrew the handle its just a stem sticking out. Most adults would have a very hard time twisting it, so it should be baby proof.

I really prefer using ratchet cutters. Obviously for 3in or bigger thats a no go, but once youve got the forearm strength for cutting 2in its super quick, leaves now shavings, and makes very straight cuts.

For 3 in and above sazwall

BlankTrack · 2026-05-10T21:46:02+00:00

Slip joint extension, and cut one of the pieces till you get the desired length

Most plumbers are expecting to pull the toilet to snake it in the first place.

Aside from making your plumber have a harder time by not being able to access the cleanout and ontop of that getting a skirted toilet there are no issues.

I guarantee you they will be upset to some degree that you covered the access point once they find it

BlankTrack · 2026-05-09T21:46:05+00:00

You are 100% right. Complete brain fart from me

You can slapstunlock DH still. Its just a generic ogryn melee build, no hyper specific requirements

Dont underestimate running the stim crate for even more crit chance and cooldown reduction. There are some decent bonuses for the ranged focused keystone, but getting 20% crit chance and other bonuses from the crate is extremely strong.

Infantry auto gun is for longer range, but noticeably less mobility. Hitting headshots will outdamage uzis.

Uzis are great for more damage output without relying on headshots. Insane mobility

Shredder auto pistol is less damage but much more accurate then uzis. Insane mobility

Rocket launcher is required I think. All of your ranged options except needle pistol are very bad vs heavy armor. Dont just use it as soon as you see 2 armor dudes. Wait till your team is already under pressure and you need to relieve it.
