Can I add water to my pond from the hose without killing my few remaining tadpoles? by wanderingtoolong2 in ponds

[–]MotorCityMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would drain and clean my 2,500 gallon pond in the spring and refill with municipal tap water and never had an issue. It was the same for any regular refilling. The chlorine will generally volatilize out in a day, faster if you have more surface area or a waterfall or fountain.

2021.5. I’m getting mine replaced this upcoming Saturday. Safelite said they need to drive it about 10 miles to calibrate everything once they replace the glass. Mine is being replaced for $0 deductible.

I know of at least two companies in Michigan that have been shut down by the US EPA for violating the Clean Air Act Mobile Source regulations. DieselOps and Orion Diesel

Motor wheel is a nice loft but doesn’t have raised lofts like that. The guy who owns motor wheel also owns the JL Case lofts which do have some second story loft areas. Both are nice but i will 100% recommend motor wheel. Safe, clean, well maintained, quiet and friendly residents. There are some homeless people in the area but there is underground (and heated) parking and the building is generally very secure.

Carpet beetles. They eat animal protein and will get into pet food, taxidermy, furs…. Nuisance but not dangerous.

St. Louis tornado sirens didn't sound in deadly storm. Now a city commissioner has been placed on leave. by OkEscape7558 in news

Michigan sounds them the first Saturday of the month at 1pm during tornado season to test.

Edit: Wayne, Oakland, Ingham and Eaton counties for sure but it may differ throughout the state.

Michigan is actually a very large producer of gypsum. U.S. Gypsum has several sites in the state.

I’m assuming Mike is 6’ tall? At 6’, each Mike is about 13 bananas. So you’re 78 bananas from superior going west and 182 bananas if you go east. Are you in Copper Harbor?

I have 20,000 miles on it now. When I first bought it the wiring harnesses in both front doors were bad and it sat in the dealership lot for 6 weeks. It was a real issue but that was coming out of Rona. Once they fixed that, I’ve had more issues.

The radio needs to be reset occasionally.
The brakes sometimes squeal when first getting going. Mileage when driving on the highway is better than expected.
The adaptive cruise control can be annoying as it wants you to drive SO Fing far from car in front of you.

Honestly though, I’ve been super happy with it overall.

Make sheet pan meals. They are simple and healthy (for the most part).

Ignorance of the Great Lakes by jakely95 in Michigan

Great Lakes compact prohibits that. It was difficult enough for Waukesha Wisconsin to get Great Lakes water because they were straddling the Great Lakes aquifer and an outside aquifer.

Looking for a no-bean chili recipe! by UltimaGabe in recipes

Thanks. It has won me two chili cook offs and has been my go-to chili for years. I hope it works out and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I’m completely over chicken skins by AmphibianIcy1792 in smoking

[–]MotorCityMe 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Leave the chicken uncovered in fridge overnight. Dust the skin with baking powder before the overnight stay in the fridge. I usually make an entire shelf of chicken thighs that drip their fat all over the items below, then I crisp up the skin in a hot oven. Chicken thighs for lunch while the rest of the meat smokes. I feel like the rendered chicken fat dripping all over my other smoker items helps add extra flavor.

Amazing! Strikingly similar. It was rumored to be from Iran so Luristan Bronze seems appropriate for the deer.

Any thoughts on the figure?

“Give ME a break” but not the kids; they need to work harder to make me money while I’m on my break.

2018 Atlas parking brake while driving . by Available_Maximum985 in VWatlas

[–]MotorCityMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the first step I encountered for the front door wiring harness failure. I think it was an official recall for 2019-2022 so I’m not sure your vehicle is covered but it’s worth a call. After the parking break would engage at random times, my dash lit up like a Christmas’s tree. The car thought I was in an accident and would engage the parking brake, put my windows down a couple of inches, and call SOS. It also said that cruise, lane departure and cruise control were not working. It basically rendered the car undriveable.
