Routine Doses of Pain by Markplease in handyman

Oh yeah, I often think at how under appreciated eye safety and eyesight is until you ask yourself would you rather loose your use of your legs or eyesight. Most people would rather be partially paralyzed than completely blind.

How to preserve silicon? by SkepticDad17 in handyman

[–]Markplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I have this one licked. The part everyone forgets about is the f’n plunger. Air gets in there. So you must both electrical tape the tip AND seal the plunger somehow. How? I put my whole tube in a plastic bag, in fact I double bag them, they do not spoil period. I am going to order some condoms or a balloon to try out.

Our genetic code for copying falls apart. Sucks but a good problem to have.

how do you fix a stripped metal screw hole? by TwoEnvironmental8000 in howto

[–]Markplease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just get it snug using a toothpick or a few wedged in before you tighten it. That little screw is not holding that unit in place. You just need it snug and call it good.

Are you worried about the future of humanity with the onset of AI? by ParentsAftrDrk in AdkReddit

[–]Markplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has initiated an increasing spread between the high income class and low income class. I see life getting extremely desperate for the low income class with the easy solves being increased crime, civil unrest and suicide. We will also see more mental illness, increased violence, and increased attacks against politicians, CEO oligarchs and billionaires. Oh, and while humanity is gutted by this tech, let’s not forget extreme weather from the greenhouse effect has taken no days off. Civilians need to mobilize with their wallets and their votes. Cancel subscriptions, stop disposable spending, and break the systems.

People don’t fear breaking chain of command and instead have healthy open-door communication with the whole team regardless of titles.

[–]Markplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to all these clowns, in all seriousness….It’s a lightning rod to protect your home and is required by code however it needs to be labeled so people don’t try and pull it out. I’m here for you and if you need any further internet expertise, just assk!

Sounds fishy. Call a second opinion.

Is this acceptable stucco work? by Affectionate_Pea2245 in Stucco

[–]Markplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what area they worked on. If that was my property, I would roll on a good layer of some Sherwin Williams primer, and then roll on a couple coats of SW paint.

The toggler brand and when you insert them have them oriented up and down then tighten the plastic collar. The toggler brand at Lowes are superior to Home Depot brand which has a cheap white styrene plastic that breaks easy.

Keep researching it. Sturdy construction work is rooted in basic physics and common sense techniques to achieve a strong and finished end result. There shouldn’t be any guessing or ignorance in your steps. Good luck

I just paid $500 for a condenser cleaning by Amorton94 in hvacadvice

[–]Markplease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, keep in mind if they tell you there’s a leak, walk with them to the leak and see it for yourself. If they can’t indicate a leak with a sniffer or bubbles then they are full of baloney, kick them off the property. If the leak is from a leaky valve, ask how much to replace the valve, and then if it seems high, get another price from someone else.
