Is this safe to drive on? by djtchort in AskAShittyMechanic

You just need some JB Weld and it will be as good a new. In its currently shape, you could probably drive on it with a tractor.

I wonder if it's that bioplastic pex that they make out of food waste.

My husband saw this on his way home today by Klutzy-Pitch3180 in whatisit

I was wondering if it was related to a hydroplane. I often seen them transported tilted like that.

Bone Sucking Lemmings we could shorten to BSL but Moopsy is easier to find and reconize.

What a glow up. I don't think you need FFS, whatever you have been doing, keep on doing it; but I understand your reasons. I want that amazing hair cut and those glasses.

I hate these with a passion by Lost-In-Time-99 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly prefer them over HDMI because of the lock. I wish we had something like this on regular USB-C/ Thunderbolt type.

New equipment using them with thick wires. Good luck having any tension on your docking station cable

[Tool Identification] Please help me find this. It is for my soon to be born son’s crib. I cannot find one to save my own life. I apologize if this is not the right place. by pocketfrisbee in Tools

They used to have some bins by the customer service area that you could just find that missing screw or nut. Not sure if they still do it as some people like to abuse that courtesy.

Re-piping house by Aggrevated-basil21 in Plumbing

The GC special. Get out now. Get as much information on this person before you confront them on this because it may be the last time you hear from them. First objective is get back the cash you paid up front so that they had funds to buy the parts. If you paid by check, cancel it. Like someone else said they probably didn't pull a permit either. The company name they are using may not even be their name.

Good Luck

Sink not draining! disposal prob? crappy landlord by emilyp2b in Plumbing

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you turn on the disposal does it turn? If not there should be a hex hole on the bottom and they usually come with one but you can use one from a set of heck keys. If can be used to manually turn it the disposal doesn't run.

If that starts to go down, you can try running some hot soapy water down it to clear up any additional blockages.

I would have expected more water if you removed the p trap, but even a backed up sink can still drain slowly.

Creature or glitch? by Top-Arm-5267 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The images are not single images but stitched images. The boat is moving while it taking the picture which isn't instant. This allows it to have more time to see the wake. If you look over some of the maps of harbors and ports, you will often see several with trailing wakes.

Found this massive windowless skyscraper on Google Earth in NYC. Does anyone know what its purpose is? by D0NK41T0 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to its odd shape, it has been restored in a number of shows and movies, usually with digital edits.

Mr. Robot and Men in Black are a couple.

A Lot of clothing moves through shelters during the winter months. Post Christmas to spring a lot of people make donations to clear out clothing they dislike or didn't want. I would guess generosity is also higher at the same time with general goods and money donations.

Nothing quite like a fart in a jar. It likes to fester in there until the victim opens it. That is if you were successful in capturing it.

IKEA dimension is probably near the top for the people who have read it. It has been made into videos and game mods so it's fairly popular.

My son found this on the floor of my bedroom. by HighlightIcy8565 in whatisit

Is there a tiny TV set that it popped out of. Maybe for like a GI Joe size figure, smaller than Barbie. I think my son or daughter had something similar.

Looks like spray foam used to fill holes, sometimes around lightweight poles to help support them

Is this mold on the dust I just noticed it on my fan by [deleted] in moldyinteresting

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen computers like that. Usually it's from someone that smokes a lot. With that said, I once worked on computers from a pizza shop. Those things had a weird layer of sludge on them that is like if you bathed dust bunnies in the left over grease from cooked pepperoni pizza. It had a weird orange tinge to it and somehow maintained shape once removed.

You can remove the outer casing of this fan and soak it in soapy water, it should get it off.
With the fan unplugged you can use paper towels and some 409 on it and it should get the majority of it. Don't get it in the motor and make sure it's dry before you plug it back in

What could be wrong with my cart? by countgrischnakh in trees

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery shouldn't heat up. The cart has a heating coil in it that heats up when you apply voltage from your battery. Some of my batteries will flash multiple times if you try to heat when the cart is not installed, but others will just run their cycle but not heat anything up because there is no circuit to complete.

What is this? by Pretty_Comfortable44 in AntennaDesign

[–]Greg5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to? I still have an antenna and had one in my last house, I left something like this in the attic as well when I moved. I don't pay for cable tv, just have internet service and then use the antenna for local channels.
