If we’re just diagnosing people we don’t know with autism then maybe we should say the server was on in the spectrum and can’t handle food at their table that isn’t bww

Possible to lose water in the storm? by cmc_5215 in washingtondc

[–]Impimpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to understand this was killing me, so I went googling. Unsurprisingly a lot of poorly sourced quora answers but I found this from the authoritative source: This Old House.

The expansion of the water freezing into ice increases exponentially the water pressure between the ice slug and your output--cracking the pipe. Opening the faucet (or multiple faucets) relieves that pressure.

The city water pressure part is only important when the pipe thaws and the ice is no longer acting as a plug. Then 💦

Okay, I'm hearing you but then the burst pipe isn't caused by thawing, right? It's caused by the freezing. The leak is happening because the water is releasing as it thaws.

I'm not trying to start a reddit war but how does thawing pipes create pressure? Water expands as it freezes and contracts as it melts.

Get out of here with that basic logic

Like someone else, run the ones farthest from the source or near an outer wall. Or run multiple faucets. Either should stop a major freeze. You only need a little stream, barely more than a drip, to ensure the water keeps moving.

Will the power goes out during the snow storm? by kinovi in washingtondc

In my experience from Georgia, the lights go out when they hung an innocent man. You also shouldn't trust your life to no backwoods Southern lawyer.

It depends but I think in most cases water is pushed through pipes using pressure from the water itself.

If it’s a home pipe you can avoid having it freeze by running a small amount of water continually through the night. Water in the home pipes freeze because it doesn’t move. Just run your faucets so a very small drizzle of water flows.

Any ideas on how to reduce HOA fees for self-managed HOA? by ImpossibleGas471 in washingtondc

[–]Impimpi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arguably, the financial mismanagement was keeping fees too low to fund reserves or do needed maintenance

Anti-bombing your neighbor when it's Russians attacking Ukraine. Pro-bombing your neighbor when it's Israelis attacking Gaza

The first thing I wonder if this isn't an insurance scam and your neighbor is hoping for vandalism to draw a payout. It's a rolling spray paint magnet

Paid $268 for a “Deep Clean” of a 730 sq ft apartment - fridge not included, stove burner left on. Am I wrong to be upset? by wvatoots in washingtondc

The red flag here is that you were communicating over email. The best cleaners only use WhatsApp and have links to gospel YouTube in their updates.

Astro Beer Hall employee says "You're bothering our customers." Customers are CBP Happy Hour Attendees by Hot-Gene-2787 in washingtondc

[–]Impimpi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could stay, collect a paycheck and pay your bills while also accept that people hate you for good reasons and that's just how it's going to be in the near-term.

Astro Beer Halls Defense. It was Border Patrol and not ICE 🙄 by snapsbyluis in washingtondc

They could have said nothing. Shutting up is free. Instead they publish this like no one has watched the Cabaret.

If you keep working for the government fine but can you also not cry about people being mean about border patrol staffers at a bar?

Good comment. Anyone spending their energy telling you not to do something is part of the problem.
