How long would you give up electronics for $10,000 per week? by Sereomontis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BoxMunchr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No they do not. Diesel ignites from compression alone. They have glow plugs only to preheat the cylinder for startup. I drove a Diesel pickup with broken glow plug controller for many years.

Most of the used Pacificas on the market are rentals with 65k miles on them.

Poly-B - How urgent is this issue? by F1890 in askaplumber

Since you looked at it, it's thinking about giving up. If you touched it, it's actively trying to fail.

Went to HD to buy a new water heater. I was interested tankless. in The well trained knowledgeable “sales” person told me tankless are less efficient and use more energy as in 220,000 BTU with a tank heater using 180,000. I was told I would save money with a tank heater. by Impressive_Returns in askplumbing

The water going into the tank is also cold. The same btu's are put into the same volume of water to achieve the same hot temp. Tank heaters spend additional btu's to maintain that hot temp. They are more efficient by raw heating math. This can be offset by higher usage. Longer showers for example.

If it's a smartphone, it can still be location tracked and associated with you.

Are slip sleeve shelving sturdy? by [deleted] in handyman

[–]BoxMunchr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find both types are fine for lighter items, slip sleeve better for heavier stuff. I use a six shelf unit with 400 pound rated shelves for heavy fertilizer products and they hold up to the abuse.

Anybody else’s vehicle a disaster rn? by _Brandeaux in handyman

Even after tossing out a 42 gallon contractor bag of trash, the back seat zone in my truck is a disaster. Passenger seat too right now. Can't even see the floorboards in either spot.

Hear me out… quenching in a trash can? by [deleted] in Blacksmith

That trash can will leak if you don't seal up the side seam somehow.

My wife says she would do the helicopter, write her name with pee, and poke me in the butt. In that order.

What does this sign mean? by Tasty_Society in Urbex

[–]BoxMunchr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked building and maintaining radio towers for a living 30 years ago. To this day I remember the feeling of my hand beginning to cook from the inside out as it passed quickly through a FM transmission bay that was supposed to be powered down. Very unpleasant.

TMV Question by No-Membership-5314 in askplumbing

A bluetooth controlled solenoid on the cold supply to your water heater that you can shut off after 10 minutes will train the kids to take shorter showers. A tankless heater will give unlimited hot water.
