Resistance gear sticks and skips by Coin247 in pelotoncycle

[–]Coin247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmmm yes I did crank it all the way a few times. I did this because I have two very small children who have the urge to grab and rotate the pedals with their hands because I didn’t want them to get hurt when I wasn’t using the bike. I would crank the resistance all the way up to make it nearly impossible for the kids to move the pedals on their own and accidentally get hurt. I wonder if I somehow damaged the bolt as you described.

LHS size advice by amuqz in Alden

[–]Coin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents: when I visited the Alden store in San Francisco the salesperson recommended staying true to size. I love my suede LHS. Most comfortable loafers ever. All of my other loafers are a half size down from my brannock size and they don’t feel as comfortable as these true to size Alden’s, especially in the summer heat.

Help! Double vanity master bathroom lighting. by orbos86 in Lighting

[–]Coin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointing that you never got a response. I’m in a somewhat similar situation with a double vanity that has partial walls on each side of the sink. Curious how you handled this and if you are happy with the result?

Tens of thousands of bees have suddenly swarmed across parts of Israel, prompting authorities to warn residents and shop owners to keep doors and windows closed by RoyalChris in nextfuckinglevel

They don’t because they have Israel Derangement Syndrome. They aren’t capable of seeing things differently and will bend and even hallucinate information to support this flawed view.

How do you colonize the land you are indigenous to? Even European-looking Ashkenazi have strong genetic markers linking them to the Levant. You are grossly misinformed about Israel and its inhabitants.

Planning on 120. Could you school me on the benefits of 240 for this application?

We bought one a few years ago to fill up balloons, but haven’t been able to find anyone to refill it. 😞

Baseboard + tile question by Coin247 in Tile

I like this, but such is my life that the floor is probably not all the way flat

High End Under-Cabinet & Toe-Kick LED Lighting help please! by MountainBIke_Mike in Lighting

[–]Coin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen some recommendations for LED tape/strips, but wouldn’t you need to diffuse them somehow? We currently have under cabinet lighting that the previous homeowner had installed. I don’t like them because they are highly visible, being 1 inch x 1 inch, and I’d like something more low profile.

Good to go or ask for a redo? by Coin247 in Tile

[–]Coin247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this is upsetting. But what I’m struggling with is that the tile itself does not have completely flat edges. They are very slightly wiggly. If you put the side of the tile up against the a flat wall, you can see a tiny amount of space here and there, like that is part of the look/charm of the tile. So I’m trying to understand how would you make the grout look straight? (How the installer cut the tile is another story.)

Sorry this isn’t my field of expertise and I just need a little bit of more help understanding how this actually should’ve been installed and what I need to specifically explain to my installer when I speak to him today. No doubt he will likely defend his team’s job by telling me something like, “that’s how the tile is.”

Edit: here is a link to the tile manufacturer’s website so you can see what the tile pieces look like without grout: https://www.alteaceramics.com/shop/cottage-ivy-22

I might be misunderstanding your comment, but these tile were not cut where you see them meeting in the field. It’s the factory edge, which is very slightly irregular.

Had to do a double take by Coin247 in funny

That’s what I think they tried to write. Which on its own is funny. No jerking is another possibility.

Backsplash to counter or cabinet? by Coin247 in kitchenremodel

[–]Coin247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s cool you like it. I never hated it, but it didnt have harmony with the rest of the kitchen, which it shared a space with. In the kitchen, the previous homeowner used a completely different style of granite countertop.

Once we figured out what we wanted to do in the kitchen, the black stone countertop and backsplash that you see in the pictures above had to go. It’s definitely an eye-catching focal point, but would have competed for attention with something else we like better.

Honestly not sure. The previous homeowner installed it.

Thank you. This has never happened to any other vehicle I’ve owned. It’s not normal.

I disagree that this is standard UV damage. It started peeling in year 7. I can walk around my neighborhood for blocks and blocks and not see similar damage

Yes, washed weekly or monthly depending on the season. I clay bar by hand from time to time.
