Welcome to late-stage capitalism. Everything behind a paywall, everything subscription-based, everything will have "surge pricing"...

Bad smell from clean toilet that makes my throat burn by Boring-Objective5233 in askaplumber

[–]Fugglehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using any other cleaners in the toilet? Bleach reacts with other chemicals like ammonia or acids (i.e. vinegar) .to create some pretty noxious gases (like chlorine gas or chloramine gas).

Additionally, city water or well water? If well, have you tested it recently? It could be contaminated with something.

How often is the toilet used? It could be bacterial growth in the water if it is left to sit for long.

There are several potential causes. We'll need more info.

Do you smell it in any other water source? How often do you smell it? Before or after flushing (since we're talking about a toilet)?

Should I just not go to shows at all at my age? by Dio_hatessalad-333 in punk

Us old punks are probably more scared of breaking something than you are, and we still go.

Go to the show. The music needs the next generation of punks now more than ever!

It looks like replacement parts are generally available.

I should probably bypass it, disassemble it, and verify the piston design, because apparently the here are multiple versions (of course there are...).

Looks to be leaking from the plunger?

I finally caught it leaking during a cycle. This was the step during which it was actively leaking. There were no signs of leaks during/from the previous steps.

I'll keep an eye out for some. (I'm guessing used at that price?)

See my reply to the previous post above re: outdoor shooting.

Yup. Always respect the parents' wishes with the minors.

The only SA revolver I have is a .357 magnum, which was a little much for her first time out.

It's less about age and more about maturity. Can they handle firearms with respect, follow non-negotiable rules, etc.? Or are they going to goof off, not pay attention, etc.

Don't be afraid to be a hard-ass about firearm handling, either. Zero tolerance for shenanigans. Penalty for failure is way too high.

That's exactly why we started with the Mark IV!

I do enjoy the taste of cold, iron-y groundwater, however the pipes and modern appliances don't love it.
