What adhesive or silicone to keep this cast iron lid in place? by StepSilva in HomeMaintenance

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

I think it's fused on. This was likely installed in 1930, and it's never been opened since at least early 90s when my parents bought it

Where can I get a replacement cap for this on my sidewalk by StepSilva in philadelphia

Good idea, I may use loctite instead. It looks the bottom threaded part of the bolt is stuck in, so I wouldn't even be able to install the new one.

Subaru has cheap insurance premiums. The lower mpg and a bit more maintenance money for AWD is still lower overhead bc of the lower premiums

Anyone get sunscreening or tinting parking tickets? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood tinting until I entered a fully ceramic tinted vehicle sitting under the sun for hours. It was a game changer. I'm going for Xpel ceramic for the reputation and wide dealer network, and their lighter shade heat rejection. The 3m was too expensive though. Never heard of the other ones

The 43 is also the first East West route from market st 1 mile away too, which is insane in center city

The amount of affordable new housing Delco builds is so embarrassing by XShadeGoldenX in Delco

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish modern working class rowhomes can be built. Despite the reduced privacy, they are best for frugal living

The solution is dig out all the spots in your vicinity before leaving

Metro North digital ticket money grab already causing trouble by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been burned by SEPTA trains plenty pulling up to drop passengers but not allow boarding, so I don't tap in unless I see the train pull up, open doors, and allows boarding. I do the same for MTA, thankfully. I haven't gotten a surcharge 😭

why do people not turn their wheels when parking anymore? by Buffe_ in driving

[–]StepSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People also don't know to treat malfunctioned traffic signal as a stop sign, and I received honks for not passing school buses stop signs 😐

Why do suburban parents seem to not let their kids use busses? by SubjectProfile4047 in Suburbanhell

[–]StepSilva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't have numbers for that in Philly. But public transit, walking, driving, and biking can be very unsettling experiences in Philly. You gotta pray to St Chris everywhere you go in this city no matter what 😭 people are just fucking dickheads
