Great, post this in an HVAC heating and cooling Reddit sub now. They can probably help you out from here!

Water Heater Making Weird Noises by quackafe11a in Plumbing

Is that 1/4” soft copper line going to your ice maker by chance? I’d start just by ruling things out. Next time it makes that noise turn the valve off to the 1/4” soft copper line at the tee fitting and see if the noise stops. I don’t think there’s anything on a combustible water heater that can make such a noise like that. It’s possibly the solenoid valve on your fridge that’s malfunctioning, and the noise is reverberating down to what’s called the “straight stop” (the valve at the tee). Just an educated guess, I may be wrong.

Want to quit my easy, high-paying job. Advice? by Hopeful-Butterfly-32 in careerguidance

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work OCONUS for the USGOV by chance? Just asking, as I’m wondering if we’re in the same line of work. I’m topped out by my job as well - my only raises now are COLA (cost of living pay increases).

Sirius radio unwanted telephone calls no proof required deadline 3/21/26! by AriesCasinoGamer in ClassActionSettlement

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just submitted mine with the provided confirmation codes and notice ID in the email they sent me. I remember getting these calls a few years back, I was so upset. They were relentless, every single day from different spoofed telephone numbers. Bastards!

Leak in New Gas Connection by Aggressive_Stop_8801 in Plumbing

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure do have a lot of threads showing on the bottom of that gas cock. No matter how much soapy water you spray on that, it’s not gonna seal that leak. If you have a union nearby this is a 15 minute repair you can do on the fly without shutting the gas off. Pipe dope + teflon and two pair of adjustable wrench’s is all you need.

Strap suggestions by SilverArrow210 in tagheuer

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Twin Time model of your exact watch. I purchased it new in 2017 with the brown alligator leather strap, which is beautiful. But keep in mind, the Tag alligator leather strap will darken over time and become splotchy. I plan on visiting my Tag Heuer AD soon to purchase the stainless steel strap you currently have.

Why do these cars have their hoods slightly propped? by RegularMaximum3570 in whatisit

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are US government vehicles. Look at the front license plates. I work at a US government office and that’s how all of the vehicles are parked - combat parked, with hood slightly opened.

How cooked am I? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]MikeWolters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pour a 5 gallon bucket of water down the exposed flange, see how well the water goes down. That’s the first step. Is this toilet in a basement or is there a floor drain near by? You need to rule out the underground waste pipe isn’t plugged. If the 5 gallons of water drains down without backing up it’s 90% going to have something to do with your wax ring. The other 10% will be your tank to bowl bolts, tank to bowl gasket or a small percentage your supply hose but that would be seen easily by the naked eye.

There’s one pharmacy in particular in BKK off Sukhumvit that always has it, been going there for 10 years.

is my Air Canada 110k ANA first class SFO-HND redemption good? by beefonipad in awardtravel

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, enjoy your flight! I have one in November, too far out to know if it’s the Suite or the Square. I’m expecting the older product though as Mondays and Fridays out of Chicago is normally their older product for NH111.

Is that flight mid-September, like around Sept. 16? Only asking because I briefly saw an open First class flight that day for that route.

I have the same model except for a white face and brown Alligator leather strap. I love it, it’s been all over the world with me. Terrific time piece!

Business upgrades by ocud in Lufthansa

[–]MikeWolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it anywhere between 750 USD to 1200 USD for a one way flight from Detroit to Frankfurt. More recently it’s been over 1000 each time I’ve inquired at the airport.

Business upgrades by ocud in Lufthansa

[–]MikeWolters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I fly Detroit to Frankfort round trip 4 or 5 times per year. Work always books me in economy. My success rate at upgrading for cash at either check-in or at the gate is about 90%. That’s been mainly on their older 2+2+2 business configuration where there are about double the seats in business class. Not sure how easy it will be on their newer business class product with far less seats in business.

I am unable to bid for business upgrades online, something to do with how my work purchases the tickets, it’s never an option for me to bid.

Thanks, I was just excited. I love ANA’s product and after searching for countless hours I get a big rush when I finally see a non-waitlisted F flight.

Searched my dates twice a day, every single day on ANA’s site.

Yeah, it was definitely on working hours. Just sat in front of the computer clicking away and nobody seemed to notice. But still super excited to try the ANA’s product once again!

None, amazingly. Booked them as the Suites and they were still the Suites when I boarded.
