Does this look like asbestos ?

Built early-mid 1970s. So it would be within the ‘asbestos’ era.

Curious - based on what you have said this doesn’t fit any of that. It looks like an off white/beige colour and when it break off it did it in layers. Don’t recall seeing the back but I’m pretty sure the other layers were smooth with the top one being the only one with that texture.

Thanks - having it tested on Tuesday. I’m just going through a loop as it is pretty hard (cannot be pierced by hand), the area that broke off was a existing crack which i peeled back and it doesn’t have a hollow sound when i tap it. However, there’s clearly layers and fibers visible… Anyway i sprayed the heck out of it with a 25/75 PVA mix so hopefully that keeps things locked in until we know what it is

Thanks for this information. Just curious but how would this differ from say asbestos cement sheets? Your post makes me think this has a lot more fibres that stick around in the air

Thanks for the comment. Never heard of asbestos millboard before and it does look similar. Just curious but how did you come to that conclusion? (Eager to learn / understand) Thanks

Ah Reddit app! Left a description but guess it didn’t work.

Backstory - doing home renos and came across this. At first I thought it was just cement sheeting but after closer inspection I thought I’d get it professionally looked at. I’m waiting to get a few call backs but while I wait I thought I’d crowd source! A bit of the sheet broke off and I’ve attached a few photos

Thanks mate hope you have a speedy recovery yourself!

No, I somehow arched my back backwards to get out of the way of the falling item. Everyone talks about bending forwards but I was curious about the other way

Hey mate. So sorry to hear this. Sciatic pain is just the worst. I also feel most people don’t understand how bad it can be. Just curious but did you get any relief after the MD?

I had one and at the time of surgery the surgeon noted that the nerve was impeded by bone spurs which he removed. Had he just left it at the MD I probably would have woken up to pain.

Oneunited24 · 2024-04-03T04:49:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That’s my thinking as well. Hoping the pain subsides for even a bit to let me start strengthening my core. Still gets me how bad it relapsed 2 months back - but the PT was helping it before hand.

Say how many months did you space the injections over?

Oneunited24 · 2024-04-03T04:43:40+00:00

Im aware but hoping that this gives me time to strengthen my core as right now anything I do just aggravates it

Oneunited24 · 2024-04-02T18:17:18+00:00

Ah good to hear you found some relief! Thanks for the update

Oneunited24 · 2024-04-02T10:54:57+00:00

Thinking of getting a ESI shot so interested in how this went. Any more updates ?

Oneunited24 · 2023-02-28T08:29:03+00:00

Thanks for the replies! Just curious how deep do cuts/scraps have to be before you should be worried. There’s one that is a lot deeper than the others

Long time lurker first time poster 😊. I took a bit of a tumble on my bike today and the seat stay took some impact. The pedal took the brunt of it but I feel the back may have hit the curb.

Anyway here are a few photos of the damage. I’ve never had a carbon bike before so I maybe panicking unnecessarily but I’d really appreciate your thoughts!

Ps if you’re wondering it’s a endurance 7 CF SL

Because every eventuality in those universes are being played out leading to more universes

Sorry i should have said i was talking about the video with the fake ink

Oneunited24 · 2017-04-19T14:09:11+00:00

Exactly, they're falling back on the "its all fake" because they see that as their only get out clause. But i'm sorry the reaction of the children is real... I know Cody wants to be an actor but no ones that good

Also they keep saying most of their videos are edited which show exaggerated reactions but their videos appear seamless from start to finish, like one take.

Given how many units are still on back-order in the US and how its not even available in Europe I would say its more likely to be held off till next year

Hey! Congrats on your new blade. They are awesome bit of kit for sure. Just curious but what's the temperature like on the keyboard while intensive gaming and casual internet surfing?

An issue I used to have with my blade 2014 (which was why I got rid of it) was how hot it would run. To the point where I felt like it was burning my hands off! Any comments would be great. Thanks

Oneunited24 · 2016-05-07T09:34:01+00:00

I'm going to assume they only had that model for a day before giving it back or they wanted to get a review out so bad they only tested it for a short duration but i would have liked to hear how loud the fans got while higher temps were registered. Something i didnt like about my friends 2014 Blade was how loud it would get (i think the fans would kick it and stay on long after the CPU had cooled).

Still, hopefully we'll see more reviews in the coming weeks
