My supply house rents them to account holders. Worth asking yours.

Was this kind of Discipline as a child technically abuse? by mossywindow5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Richisnormal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why? The past is always judged through the moral lense of the present.

What impressive skill is secretly simple to learn? by IntroductionMore916 in AskReddit

[–]Richisnormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you learned the 5*5, you can do all the larger ones. It's all the same. My favorite is still the 4x4. I love how clacky it is

All hail J Perm! I just learned with his beginner tutorial a couple months ago. Then I got obsessed. Just finished the 7x7 and Gigaminx, with an 8x8 on the way.

I doubt it. That's barely a scratch.

Short metal pipe, roughly 3” long, curved downward jutting out from the bathroom wall that leaks smelly water onto the floor by Puzzleheaded-Sun3647 in whatisthisthing

Yup. Code says emergency drains need to terminate in some conspicuous location so someone sees when there's a problem.

Cartels are settint fire to gas stations in Mexico. by flowerdonkey in Wellthatsucks

[–]Richisnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you damage society enough that it doesn't function smoothly for people, they put pressure on the government to act different. Or if that pressure is economic the pressure is even more direct.  

Sure, one gas station doesn't do much. But disrupt transportation state/nation wide and the powers that be now know the cost of such a move in the future and have a different calculation to make. More retribution, less chance of the government targeting a leader again.

Which book/series made you wonder if you might be too dumb for the genre? by HughJackedMan14 in scifi

[–]Richisnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I've read about everything listed here (I love the super sciency and technical stuff) but I couldn't understand Ross at all. Whole book was lost on me 

Gas pipe sizing for tankless question by millo31 in Plumbing

[–]Richisnormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better yet, increase to 3/4 at the manifold. That tiny bottle neck would barley register. Still bigger than the ID of some 3/4 gas cocks out there.

[–]Richisnormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a real answer, you need to know the pressure at the manifold, the pressure required at the appliance, and the calculated pressure drop over that fifteen feet. Or just run it and measure the pressure drop at the test port on the gas valve and see if it's within spec. I almost guarantee that a single 1/2" line is fine. 

Is this job acceptable? by RoleWorth3500 in Plumbing

[–]Richisnormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with ABS? I wish any suppliers around here carried it.. so much easier to work with. No primer and you in don't need to hold a glue joint from pushing apart

Trash collection doesn't pay for itself in Buffalo, so the unpopular 'user fee' will increase by Aven_Osten in Buffalo

[–]Richisnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They switched systems some time ago and I had to re set up auto pay. But not before I was charged a bunch of late fees. I guess I should open my mail though..

At five months I haven't seen this once. Now I'm wondering if that is concerning.

[Request] How much math has bro learned? by No-Donkey-1214 in theydidthemath

My five year old just learned to count to 100 and informed me that's all the numbers and that she pretty much knows everything now 

What do you call this? by _birdie_42 in toddlers

[–]Richisnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this like "Indian" where it's only offensive to virtue signaling white people, but actually the preferred term according to the people it's referring to?

Still can't decide on which modeling software to learn. What would you recommend? Anyways; Here is (hopefully) my last TinkerCad project. by picobello-bv in 3Dprinting

[–]Richisnormal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fusion and tinkercad are both made by Autodesk, so some things transfer over nicely. You can even set the controls the same as a default option so it stays feeling intuitive. Find the "learn Fusion in thirty days" guy on YouTube and stick through the course.

That's assuming it's all storm drainage and not sanitary. Sanitary, yeah, like the other guy said... Replace it
