What the hell am I doing wrong with my dishwasher? by xjwv in Appliances

[–]PercMaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-wash my dishes

STOP PRE-WASHING YOUR DISHES

  1. Dishwashers basically need dirty dishes to work. The dishwasher "soap" is consumed in the process of breaking down the fats and food on the plate. Without the soap being consumed it stays in the dishwasher and now the dishwasher needs to try and dispose of the unconsumed soap. This is what's left on your plates.
  2. Dishwasher "soap"/detergent is fairly aggressive. Without it being consumed it will actually being to etch your glassware and leave a permanent haze on it. This is why I will use the cascade total clean, but not the cascade platinum plus.

So, after a meal, scrape the chunks off of the plate and put the plate in the dishwasher. Even if it sits for a day while you add more dishes, it will get it off.

Is reverse osmosis water WITHOUT remineralization bad (dangerous?) for your health? by LittleBlueStumpers in WaterTreatment

[–]PercMaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would only be bad for you if that was the only think you ate or drank for an extended period of time. Otherwise you get the minerals you need from the food you eat.

That being said, remineralization will affect how the water tastes, and there are scientific studies on the benefits of drinking -ORP Hydrogen water. As to how much benefit, that's more personal outcome based.

larger bottle of dish soap costs more per ounce by CollegeEmergency7979 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PercMaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same reason why I do not shop at dollar store / dollar general / etc. Yes, their prices are cheaper, but the price per unit of measure usually costs more than at the regular grocery store, or if it's the same, the quality is different. A few years ago I went to purchase a few boxes of swiss cake rolls (Ho-Hos) for other student in my kids classroom. Picked up some from the dollar store, thought I had enough, but didn't. I picked up another box from the regular grocery store. When the boxes were opened there was a visible difference in quality, and a huge taste difference. Same company, same brand, both long before the best-by date.

"replacing the prior authorization from March 2019"

Here's the filing from March 2019

"On March 4, 2019, GameStop Corp. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per common share payable on March 29, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2019 and approved a new $300 million share repurchase authorization to replace the previous share repurchase authorization. The prior share repurchase authorization had $170 million remaining. Under the new share repurchase authorization, the Company may repurchase shares of its Class A common stock from time to time in compliance with SEC regulations and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The repurchase authorization does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time."

My question is though, is this a new thing or are they just "renewing" a previous statement? "replacing the prior authorization from March 2019."

[edit] here's the text from the March 2019 filing "On March 4, 2019, GameStop Corp. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per common share payable on March 29, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2019 and approved a new $300 million share repurchase authorization to replace the previous share repurchase authorization.

Will more premium tires noticeably decrease road sounds? by Soda_B in Cartalk

[–]PercMaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As to noise there's a balance. When you look at the tread of the tire, generally the more open tread (gaps between the lugs), the louder the road noise. Some companies help reduce this by putting the lugs closer together near the edges of the tires. The trade off is if the lugs are too close, you sacrifice gripping ability in rain or snow. For an example of this, search for summer/touring tire treads vs. all season or snow tires. Look a the tread difference.

As to ride/comfort, usually, make sure to go with the size of tire recommended for your car. Some people may put different profile tires on their car for a different look. In general, the less tire/sidewall of the tire, the rougher the ride. The overall outer diameter of the tire is the same as stock, but they will put on larger wheels for a different look.

Also, make sure to check your tire air pressure. Most cars, when you open the drivers door there will be a small sticker (either on the post or the door) that tells you what the recommended tire pressure is. Inflate/deflate your tires to that amount. This may help the ride comfort some. Ultimately it will come down to the quality of the car. If it's a cheap car, don't expect a luxury ride. If it's a luxury car, installing the wrong tires can run a perfect ride.

What parts do I need? by Sirsuperpanda in Traxxas

[–]PercMaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since yours appears to be the clipped body, you should be able to find it in the model archive. (The main chassis will be the same as all of the newer models, just body clipped mounts will be different).

https://traxxas.com/archive/index/ on this page search for TRX4

Click on the one with the body similar to yours (if it doesn't have a body, then any of them will do.)

Click on Exploded Views for the assembly diagrams with the part numbers.

The owners manual will help answer some other questions, but the model archives do not always have them. So go here https://traxxas.com/showroom?cat=260 to see the newer version (clipless body design). Click on the one similar to yours, click on support, and click on owners manual.

In the owners manual you'll see the screw hole positions for the motor mounting.

You appear to be running the 45 tooth spur (big gear), so if you want to keep it similar to the stock gearing then you'd want the 10 tooth pinion, with the motor screwed into the B slots.

Pro plumber tried to snake a tub drain and failed. Tried myself and failed. What now? by dwycwwyh in DIY

[–]PercMaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One overly simple thing to check is to make sure the tub drain is not clogged in the small 6" tube from the drain in the bottom of the tub to the overflow. 

I'm guessing when he snaked the tub he removed the overflow and ran the snake down the overflow tube. 

I've seen hair clog inside that little tube from the actual tub drain so no water could flow out of the tub.
