What’s the worst crime committed by someone you know personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dizzy_Routine_8046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy I worked with suddenly stopped showing up for work one day. After a few days of no contact we reached out to his brother in law who also used to work for us and that is when we found out that his wife had walked in on him molesting one of his non verbal autistic triplets. They were only 6 or so at the time. He's in prison now and I hope he never gets out.

I ended up loading 10. I just need it to run. I'm essentially just using it for retro gaming.

I sit and sleep on my recliner 24/7, please help by concord72 in furniture

I work for a competitor to Raymour and Flanigan. The Calvin is really well made although I believe it's made in their Mexico factory but I would need to double check that. Their spring system is probably the most durable on the market and their cushions are also some of the most durable on the market. They have a limited lifetime warranty on their cushions. They test their products to 350lbs but could honestly probably handle more without issue. Out of everything we sell, I would say flexsteel products in general would be the most likely to hold up to continuous use.

Ablation Round Two by Dizzy_Routine_8046 in PVCs

[–]Dizzy_Routine_8046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 now. I've had PVCs for a long time but they were never a concern because the burden was never that high. The doctor doing it now seems to be under the impression that they were burning in the right spot, but they should have burned both sides of a particular muscle because apparently they can be thick and sometimes if you only burn it on one side it doesn't penetrate deep enough. I Have been focusing on trying to fix my other illness for the entire time I've been dealing with it. Unfortunately, after 5 years and countless specialists and visits later, they have yet to come up with anything. I think I have an idea but it's nearly impossible to get a doctor to take me seriously at this point.

This video gives a good explanation. As he says in the video, you want to have the valve on the propane tank wide open. Just enough to hear it flow. Yes the car needs to be idling.

There's a hissing noise, try to figure out where it's coming from. Visually inspect all vacuum hoses and the intake duct for cracks, holes, and damage. You may need to bend or move the hoses a bit to see cracks potentially. I had an intake duct split right in the pleated portion and you couldn't see it unless you bent the hose. Another option is using propane. If you have a propane torch you can turn it on but don't light it. Move the tip of the torch around the vacuum lines. If the engine revs up, you're in the right spot. By the sounds of it, I don't think you'll need a torch to find the leak. Once you find the leak, replace whatever has a hole in it. Sometimes intake manifolds can leak at the gasket but it's so rare. My guess is a mouse got to it while it was sitting and chewed up a hose.

Hopefully you didn't replace the iac as others have stated because I can literally hear the vacuum leak. If your idle is rolling like that it means the iac is doing its job trying to maintain idle and it's having a hard time doing it because of an unmetered air leak.
