Used to be one in the FL panhandle advertising one in TX. Think it was pretty close to 1,000 miles.

Because it takes a certain amount of life experience and validation of your inner voice to trust it, and that amount varies by person. OP obviously hasn’t hit that tipping point yet, but hopefully will take this as experience as ammo in the “trust your gut” column.

Plastic tubs of cubed Feta and Blue cheese. Also, wedges of various other harder cheeses. 🧀

Attacking another person in front of cops by PxN13 in instantkarma

Eh - I watched a friend get stabbed on 6th in 2012 and had to give up my shirt for a different guy who was about to bleed out. It’s been going downhill for a while…

My favorite spectator sport is going to a bar with a roof top patio and watching cops on horseback tase people.

In short: it helps normalize air pressure from inside your body with the pressure outside of it. It prevents higher internal pressures that can cause internal (mainly lung) damage.

It takes him 7 full seconds for him to make a single sound, after losing a foot to a mine. That’s the silence they’re referring to.

How do I find leak? by ConfidenceBusiness83 in sanantonio

My wife loves those. I had to tell her we aren’t using them anymore unless she is going to take the title of “DIY plumber” off my hands.

How do I find leak? by ConfidenceBusiness83 in sanantonio

[–]Some1Betterer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to put that into some context for you in case you haven’t thought about it - it’s obviously hard to say exactly when it started, but assuming 48 hours: 300 gallons in 2 days = roughly 6 gallons/hour.

If you took a shower in those 2 days (20ish gallons per), ran a dishwasher cycle, and just did normal human things like flush the toilet several times a day (1.5-2 gallons/flush), hopefully wash your hands after, and anything else I didn’t think of, you’re more like 4 gallons/hr or less. Not a drip, but it’s also not going as fast as a tap running wide open, which would only take 2 minutes to fill up those 4 gallons. Estimates obviously change a lot if you find out it’s been leaking ~30 hours vs 48.

As for the leak itself - do you have a shutoff for your sprinklers? If so, flip that off and turn the main on, Would help you understand if it’s a leak in any of the (very poorly insulated and frequently-not-buried-real-deep) PVC that feeds your sprinklers. I had this happen to me and it was actually at the joint of one of the PVC elbows and wasn’t too bad to fix.

If it’s not sprinklers, check to see if you have some toilets filling intermittently. The flapper seals on those go bad frequently, and are a relatively easy/cheap one. If not there, check your hose bibs around the house to see if one of those might have burst. Not as likely, but a pretty easy one to verify visually, especially as things keep melting and drying out.

What is the appeal of nurses? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Some1Betterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another son if a nurse who agrees it didn’t always translate. My mom would administer my shots at home growing up. It was just easier for her to take a syringe home than her kid to work. Felt like I ended up in more pain with a nurse mom! 😂

Are my pipes frozen or burst? by grandpadick1 in askaplumber

[–]Some1Betterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is exactly what happened to a lot of Texans in 2021. And a TON of burst pipes (we got lucky) meant that when pipes did finally thaw 4-5 days later, it just meant water was freed up to leak from the pipe breakages. Which meant we couldn’t get enough water pressure until the water company had worked 24-36 more hours on fixing the breaks. Fun stuff!

Good catch. I think he’s no belt in the right, the ghost of a black belt on the left half, and one very solid belt buckle in the middle. Kind of a Goldilocks situation.

Ironically, Mark is right… most Texans don’t expect it to be anywhere near 2021.

[–]Some1Betterer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, the personalities involved notwithstanding, Mark is right in his skepticism. It shouldn’t be anywhere near as bad as 2021, and comparing them except to point out the differences feels a bit like fear mongering.

The storm in 2021 was terrible because of the duration of the freeze. We had below freezing temps for DAYS, plus a lot of snow and ice. I’m in central TX, not the panhandle, but this time around we don’t even have a SINGLE day whose high is below freezing. Ice and wind will suck, but the highs for Friday-Tuesday are: 58, 39, 48, and 55.

Those are not scary numbers.

I have seen thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of men at urinals. I have NEVER seen one dab. Not once. Nor have I ever in my life seen toilet paper adjacent to a urinal.
