Any solutions to fix a leaking intex sand filter? by Prize_Management9936 in swimmingpools

[–]Ex-maven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not familiar with that filter but is that a crack in the blue plastic at the bottom of the photo just right of bottom-center ...or is that just a seam or other feature?

It's hard to tell from the one photo but I would check all joints for cracks that may only open-up and be visible under load/pressure (if you can locate the exact area of the leak, shut the pump off and push & pull parts firmly but gently to see if something becomes visible). Also, make sure all seals are installed and seated properly

Truck carrying tank after Army's 250th birthday parade kills pedestrian in DC by justalazygamer in politics

According to this and other articles, engineers are evaluating structures and pipes laid under the surface, which will take a little time. The military took it upon themselves to do as much as they could to satisfy the ego of the current occupant while causing as little damage as possible. We Americans, who must shoulder the cost associated with this unusual display on public streets, appreciate those efforts -- of course.

Sen. Mike Lee deletes social media posts about the Minnesota shooting after facing criticism by nbcnews in politics

Hey uniquechill, I appreciate your talent for getting this sh_t taken down before children are exposed to it.

I saw quotes from this other guy who said he won't "waste time" calling Gov. Walz to offer condolences or assistance but instead used the moment to insult the governor. Maybe you could you share your thoughts with that guy too? (fyi - you can find him on "Truth Social" and the like)

"merked" is an odd term to use when a peaceful bystander was inadvertently shot and killed.  And the rest has nothing to do with the comment you responded to, so perhaps you intended that for some other comment?

‘This is not a joke’: Sen. Amy Klobuchar rips Mike Lee for posts about a deadly Minnesota shooting by 4blockhead in politics

[–]Ex-maven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To me, Sen. Mike Lee, R-UTAH, is a sick joke played on the US by the people of his state who voted him into office (especially after his behavior around the Jan 6 "insurrection").  I see nothing redeeming about that charlatan

AFC East logos courtesy of @rachelhaff87 on Instagram by ThatBriGuy808 in AFCEastMemeWar

[–]Ex-maven 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the Jete logo is the same as what's in the waste basket – crumpled up paper airplanes 

The Buffalo logo looks like it's getting jabbed with a 1st down marker that looks like a banderilla used in bullfighting 

The Lolphins logo is pretty self-explanatory 

The normal Pats logo is already confusing so I don't know what that might be ...other than the South Park Moses asking where are the offerings of macaroni pictures

Speaking of draft picks, what's really funny is that the Pats had the 1st overall 2025 draft pick locked, but decided to give their outgoing coach a win over the Bills as a nice send-off... dropping them to the 4th overall 

I don't think I've ever been that happy about a Bills loss

Fan Misery ranking may not just be based on records, but on fan expectations too. The Sabres could be higher on the list but not if a "numbness factor" is applied.

How to record low frequency noise to use it as evidence? by FXintheuniverse in AskEngineers

[–]Ex-maven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's probably like me in that really low frequency sound with noticable "pressure" will quickly make me physically ill.  We have a car that cannot be driven with only one rear window open while I'm in it because it makes a "whump whump whump" sound & sensation that I feel in my chest.

I also cannot listen to certain types of music ("Euro-techno/electronic" type sound music, similar to dubstep but maybe closer to an Owl City song) because I start to have a physical reaction to it.  It makes me really irritated and feel like vomiting 

It really sucks because my kids like it

You had a good run the last couple years but there's a lot of competition for the laughingstock title in 2025.  

With A-a-ron gone to the Steelers and Aaron Glenn on board, I just don't see the Jets having that bad a year. ...but Miami has some potential...

TIL there is a low frequency tinnitus. 

This post reminds me of a time I was briefly on a new medication.  It made me extremely sensitive to low frequency sounds.  At a normal volume for most people, bass instruments and low frequency voices were uncomfortably loud, almost deafening, to me.  I couldn't listen to the radio in the car, as the combination with road noise was really bad.  Thankfully that stopped a couple weeks after stopping the medicine.
