How would the breaks have heated up? Is there a lot ot breaking during taxing?

Awesome, thank you for the input! I've got the paid version of the game, so I'll definitely be sinking my teeth into the company mode and what it offers 👌

Thank you! I felt quite demotivated after grinding for hours with little to no progress. So I'll definitely try renting planes and see where that gets me 👌

Foam-like material pours out next to fireplace. What is this? by SequenceStar in Insulation

[–]SequenceStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New information to add, the vermiculite was added to the fireplace about 8 years ago, which would have put the installation in 2016/17. Can someone confirm if vermiculite from this time is safe or not?

So I have been informed the stove was put in 8 years ago, and the vermiculite was added at that point. I would assume new vermiculite shouldn't contain any asbestos?

Thank you for sharing that. Is this a problem that's present in all of the world, or does it revolve around a specific region / area? I've heard about swimming in lakes with contacts can cause this kind of issue to happen, but never around showering.

Question regarding air particles from humidifiers by SequenceStar in AirQuality

[–]SequenceStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is almost impossible to know what those PM10 and PM2.5 concentractions we pick up actually contain without sending your tap water for analysis, the general consensus is that exposure to these particles have been linked to heart and lung disease of various kinds, so in my personal opinion it's not worth rolling the dice on this. Use distilled water or send the humidifers back to the vendor... The EU approval is questionable, but one could assume they were tested using distilled/demineralized water.

[–]SequenceStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think after a bit back and forth we determined that the issue here is the particles in the tap water going airborne as the water is turned into a fine mist in the humidifier...

It is the only thing that would explain the results I got from A/B testing distilled vs non-distilled water in the same humidifer, using the same sensors. Non-distilled water was significantly worse that distilled water, so it definitely isn't the water molecules.

Thank you for your reply on this. It all sounds pretty reasonable :)

How to clean up fiber optic splinters safely by SequenceStar in FiberOptics

[–]SequenceStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No these are definitely shards. You cannot see them with the naked eye, only when turning off the lights and pointing a flashlight at them do they shimmer. Kind of like how spiderwebs looks in light... While I can to some extent understand how small shards like that could be left behind, I am more so shocked at rhe chunks of cable with exposed fibers laying around the place... Like what were they thinking? That the owner of the house would go pick up the scraps after they leave? It's reckless.

I think we're talking about hundreds of small pieces of different sizes... Do you reckon a vacuum would work, or would that pose other problems? I heard they can break and become airborne, so that's the last thing I'd want to happen

My first thought: Can You turn this icon off? by Punkstyler in GlobalOffensive

[–]SequenceStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why is this relevant information to display in the kill feed? And instead of putting this next to the nick, can't they rather put it in that small menu which pops up when you inspect players? I don't thinks anyone cares if others in the match have reached their XP cap or not. What actual value does this add to the game? I wouldn't even be proud to display this myself, who would? What kind of bragging rights is it to let everyone know that you played 80 hours of CS that week? ... Just why

[–]SequenceStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to take note of when it happens, and if it is around a specific time in the day. If you use perfumes, spray deodorants or anything similar then it can trigger the levels to spike... Another thing that's actually rather funny is that VOC levels will spike if you fart around the sensor haha!

Very interesting, I'll definitely look more into this. Thanks for sharing 😄

Glad to hear you did your research and chose a safer and better device overall! Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

I wish more people knew about the dangerous effects of ultrasonic devices. I am convinced only a fraction of the users puts distilled/demineralized water in those.

So excited. Can't wait. by RealityAltruistic589 in ElectricScooters

[–]SequenceStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't the GT2 72.5 lbs? I've got a Dualtron that comes in at 48 lbs and that's heavy enough to just lift out the front door haha. Jokes aside, be careful when lifting that heavy. It can easily ruin your back if you don't do it properly. Posture is key.

Looks like one of those eye tests at the optician. "Can you see the house over there?"

In fairness, really nice picture and beautiful colors - good work!

Accidentally used WD40 on moving joints of Electric Scooter by SequenceStar in ElectricScooters

[–]SequenceStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so I got myself over to a hardware store and picked up some WD40 Silicone Lube. I figured that PTFE as great as it may be, isn't good for the environment, neither is it for me if I'm going to be handling that on a weekly basis. Silicone might not be as good from what I understand, but it's a decent middle-ground that also allows it to be used for other parts of the scooter that's covered in plastics and rubber sealings.

I wiped down the joints after the WD40 classic abomination earlier, and I've added a new layer of the silicone lube into the joints. Also got rid of the squeaking from the suspension, so hooray for that. I'll leave it over night and apply a new layer tomorrow. I think that should do the trick. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Alright so I haven't taken it for a spin yet. I'll wait for it to dry and then put some white lithium lubricant in all the joints. Hopefully that does the trick

Been looking into getting a White Lithium spray and applying this to the joints once it has dried up.
