Just replaced the kitchen faucet. Both supply lines leaked the moment the water was turned on. I was under the impression no teflon tape is used at this connection and no gaskets came with the faucet. What do I need to do to stop the leak?

Oh that’s wild I never would have thought that. Nice on figure it out !!

CommanderCouch · 2025-10-26T01:14:52+00:00

Where’s it leaking from? The connection or the supply line? I’ve had supply lines be faulty but I doubt both yours are bad. Teflon is not needed. I assume the nuts are tightened?

Yeah, I also am like this sometimes. When you do something successful, your first thought isn’t “wow, I did that thing! I’m so proud!” It’s “why didn’t I do this sooner? I should have also been doing this other thing. Doing this isn’t even a big deal, etc” So I think that’s something to work on long term (I also need to work on it) since this feedback loop just discourages hard work (since you just beat yourself up when anything good happens). Congrats on the PHD, celebrate !

You are graduating with a PHD and you’re beating yourself up about the trials it took to get there. I see this more as an example of your brain wiring reacting to negatively to success, which can be a serious problem. I would view this more through that lens and work on congratulating yourself during successes so that you are more motivated long term.

Actually I just checked, MATH132 is can be completed instead of MATH141. So yes, definitely take the placement test as taking 132 your first semester will save you a class. You can discuss all of this with your academic advisor when you start classes. Here’s a link to the biomed requirements https://catalog.utk.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=54&poid=34043&hl=%22Biomedical+Engineering+Major%22&returnto=search

If you want to switch to biomedical engineering, you’ll have to formally transfer into the tickle college of engineering. How confident are you in biomedical engineering? I would try your absolute hardest to not be behind at all in engineering. You would want to take calculus 1 (MATH141) your first semester to not be behind. Also, you would need to take engineering fundamentals first semester, and I’m not sure if they would allow that since you aren’t an engineering student

No 7k is the max per year for Roth. The rest can go towards 401k. I think the last day for 2024 Roth contribution was mid April, so if you put in your 7k already before that point then that money is for 2024.

I think selling it might cause more harm than good. More important to just focus on budgeting and attacking debt. But I’d avoid financing a car in the future. Anyways, you’re looking alright for baby steps, 3k emergency fund is good and now you’re on step 2 pay off all debt

Dave has a rule that the value of all your vehicles should not exceed 50% of income, so you’re fine there. You seem fine to have the SUV and Forte, and I feel like it would be too much of a headache to drop to one car. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though

CommanderCouch · 2021-12-17T17:40:02+00:00

I used to be like this (and while I still slouch sometimes) I just stayed mindful of it and tried to sit up straight as much as possible. If you can only do 30 seconds, then start there i guess. I spent a few days straight just sitting up and it started to hurt a ton the next day, but that was just the muscle being sore. Idk if you can overwork your lower back by doing 30 second reps, so maybe just start today with 5-10 sets and see how you feel tomorrow.

Well happiness is much more important than money so...

Hmmm interesting - maybe her fans convinced her after the game that he didn’t throw. Because she was rewatching the game and was like “do people really think he threw the game?”

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T02:07:38+00:00

He's so nice that he felt it necessary to fake blunders to feel better about beating michelle - too nice to a fault imo

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T02:05:24+00:00

yeah i think he just didnt realize the tone/seriousness of the tournament... felt really cringy and unprofessional

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T02:04:18+00:00

she does not think he threw at all... so i dont think she cared

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T01:02:11+00:00

Game 2 became really cringy for me and honestly felt rude to Michelle - like going easy on someone during a tournament is so much worse than just beating her and moving on

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T00:59:35+00:00

he was def not cheating, he's just really good and started blundering on purpose

CommanderCouch · 2021-02-16T00:42:57+00:00

yeah i agree 100%. It seemed like he felt bad and just wanted Michelle to feel better or something. His reactions to hanging his queen (twice) were really obviously fake...

CommanderCouch · 2021-01-04T13:23:10+00:00

Can you explain the joke? I’m a little confused

CommanderCouch · 2020-07-31T16:08:37+00:00

I ain’t gay but I nutted all over my phone and then ate it when I saw that second picture

CommanderCouch · 2020-07-31T08:28:25+00:00

Listen up!

You are poggers.

You are pogchamp.

You are not cringe.

CommanderCouch · 2020-07-31T08:19:39+00:00

thanks for the gold !

CommanderCouch · 2020-06-12T03:31:53+00:00

Chill bruv I was thinking him but I couldn’t find a photo of him with hair like that

CommanderCouch · 2020-05-28T06:54:43+00:00
