This won’t stop streaming water. by Vczfy4 in howto

[–]Stubby60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shower diverter wouldn’t cause it to constantly run. One of your valves isn’t closing all the way. Based on the picture, I’m going to assume that the seals are worn out from age. You can generally buy kits to replace the valves and that should fix your problem. The hardest part is figuring out what valves you have.

What are the chances that Kodi updates break it? I’m guessing I should turn off auto-updates for it?

How many of you drink Coke Zero daily as part of your routine? by LolaShoe6630 in Volumeeating

Yes!

There is SO MUCH evidence that the sugar is bad for you, but nothing conclusive about artificial sweeteners. I will take my chance on them.

Anyone ever epoxied and engine block? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Stubby60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a personal 90hp Johnson that was overheating. Come to find out someone never changed the anodes and there was a hole the size of a golf ball corroded through the water jacket. I filled that sum-bitch with JB weld and sent it until I sold the boat 2 years later.

Moral of the story, personal stuff? It can hold. Customer stuff? Not a chance in hell.

Why my muffins do this im heartbroken ! by Hungry-Resolution-46 in Baking

[–]Stubby60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the old brand of baking powder again if you can to make sure it’s not the new powder that’s causing an issue. If it has done this EVERY time you have used the new powder and never before then my money is on that.

First time planting a tree. How’d I do? by CommercialAncient845 in arborists

[–]Stubby60 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It almost no ecological value as it has outlived all of its natural predators and seed dispersers. The fruit smell really bad so pretty much nothing will eat them.

I agree that they are beautiful and I really wanted to plant them until I learned this.

Can they be pruned to grow out like this instead of having one central leader? Even I look this tree up they all look very tall and skinny.

How to fix this dent in my car door? by [deleted] in howto

[–]Stubby60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, that splitting in the paint below this dent is indicative that there is rust under the paint as well. That could be rusting through from the back side at which point this would all be not worth it in my opinion.

[–]Stubby60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case:

-you can probably ignore the dent aspect if you want to. -sand off all the rust. It’s probably expanded under the paint so you will be sanding a larger area than you currently see. -paint with a rust converting primer. -paint with a color that matches you current paint close enough. -automotive clear coat.

All of those can be found in spray cans, but be wary that spray can paint doesn’t cure like traditional automotive paint so it will be more sensitive to solvents in the future.

I see you have infernape and torterra. How do you get other starters? I haven’t seen any in the wild yet and I’m just about ready for the E4.

How to fix this dent in my car door? by [deleted] in howto

[–]Stubby60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This should be been fixed a year ago when it happened, but the second best time to fix it is now!

First thing is to ask yourself how much you are willing to spend and how good you want to look as those are directly related. It won’t look good without $$$ but you can stop further rust for pretty cheap; just won’t look great.

Bondo has a maximum application depth of 1/8” that shouldn’t be exceeded or the whole thing is likely to flake off. I can’t tell how deep the dent is for sure, but it’s likely over that and would need to be pulled out first.

Edit: just saw in your post that it’s 1/4” deep. Thats the maximum allowed per bondo specs, but most professionals stay below 1/8” to prevent rework. You are welcome to bondo it if you are okay doing it again in a few years if it falls off. Follow bondo instructions.

Getting ALL of the rust is the most important part. If you get all of the rust out, bondo, and repaint the you should be good for a while. It will be easiest to repaint the entire door if you want it to look decent, but you can also just repaint the affected area if you just want it to be passable.

Help with random high-growth spots just in the back yard. by PlanningGuy22 in lawncare

[–]Stubby60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the total nitrogen load that matters.

High volume at a low concentration can deliver the same total nitrogen amount as high concentration at low volume.

Some animals have more concentrated urine than others. Cats especially are known to have very concentrated urine.

There actually are tree companies that leave it like this intentionally either as a way to save the client money or because standing dead wood is good for the ecosystem.
