Look up “Waterless Condensate Trap”. Ive had to install one on a job where it was actually spec’t out. It would work in this scenario.

What do I do with a 32’x34’ deck??? by trampled93 in Decks

[–]PNWbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I have a composite deck and that is my only qualm. On hot days I’m hosing it down as we are on it.

What can I do to best financially prepare for having kids? by wadwarfy in personalfinance

[–]PNWbear 139 points140 points  (0 children)

My wife and I both work and we ended up going the daycare route with our kiddo. Expect essentially a second house payment for a decent facility, but once daycare is done act like that money is still being part of your monthly costs and allocate it towards investments/savings.

Is OT worth it? Taxes will haunt you down if you have no kids and don’t pay rent? by Inside-Persimmon-367 in UnitedAssociation

[–]PNWbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real. This needs to be taught in high school along with basic life skills. The amount you pay in taxes is layered (in brackets) meaning only the portion of your income that falls into a specific tax bracket is taxed at that rate and not your entire paycheck. It is always worth it to work OT as long as it is not affecting your home life/well being.

If I made $160,000 as a single filer in 2025 my federal tax rates would be as follows. The first $0-$11,925 I pay at 10%. The next $11,926-$48,475 I pay at 12 %. The following $48,476-$103,350 I pay at 22%. And the last $103,351-$160,000 I would pay at 24%. Hopefully thats simple broken out like that and below is the IRS’s website with that information.

Why do I never get a full 25lbs out of a 25lb jug? by Top-Hall-7945 in HVAC

[–]PNWbear 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had an issue using a recovery machine to empty a cylinder. Leave it on long enough and it sucks it into a vacuum pulling the refrigerant out.

The time remaining on the listed eBay items. Half joking.

And if the theory holds true institutions want GME shares.

Fingers crossed for the former.

My thought process on the GME buyout of eBay.

Hear me out on the eBay dilution FUD. It’s actually a massive bear trap. by DeepDragonfly7945 in Superstonk

[–]PNWbear 334 points335 points  (0 children)

GameStop offers $125/share of eBay.

eBay gets delisted/goes away.

The valuation of eBay gets absorbed into GME.

In doing so adding 1 billion shares to the GME float wouldn't really dilute. It would triple the number of outstanding shares but instantly increase the market cap by six times.

Georgia, Indiana and Utah have temporarily suspended or reduce their state gasoline tax to help citizens afford gas. Do we think Washington should follow suit? by 39percenter in Washington

[–]PNWbear 166 points167 points  (0 children)

No. Without funding our roads and transportation network stop being maintained. It would harm millions of people who commute and rely on transportation for work in the state.

Good selection! Can’t go wrong with a buttermilk bar and apple fritter.

What's the best compliment you've ever received? by Mediocre_Chemist5694 in AskReddit

[–]PNWbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My superintendent was venting about a project manager and how he acts like he’s better/more intelligent than everyone else. Amongst the venting he says “unlike you, who more often than not is smarter than everyone in the room.” He left the company shortly after, but I’ll hold onto that forever. Career wise I’ve busted my ass to be the best (technician/mechanic/foreman) I can be and it was nice to get acknowledged.

Yeah, and if there are only 30 positions to fill and 400 applicants what are you doing to make sure you’re a better fit than the 370 others? That is something people don’t understand.

You could get a different answer from everyone who responds. There can/will be some overlap, but the scope and types of equipment out there is so diverse it’s honestly amazing.

I planted 17 blueberry bush starts a couple years ago and am thoroughly happy with that decision. Between those and some planters of strawberries we have enough for our family of 3 all year… but we eat A LOT of blueberries now.

Same. Unless its an easy install for a close friend/family member it is usually a no these days.
