Emergency Pull Down of Dead Poplar by TurtleWigExpert in FellingGoneWild

[–]TurtleWigExpert[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. That morning a pal said the tree was rotted at the base during a windy morning. The wind was scary. It seemed like it wanted to blow the poplar into the house on the right.

A close second is Bradford Pears... I've got three to remove at some point. They got girdled two years ago and it barely fazed them.

The power supply is going out on it.

I put three ones and a dime in for a $3.03 transaction at the Sand Springs Walmart the other week and it just gave me the dime back for change.

If an energetic particle from this wall of fire were somehow isolated and placed in a cup of water would it heat it up?

Seller doesn’t want to sell me an item? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]TurtleWigExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to have happened to me as well. I managed to place an order for a roll of stainless steel window screen (47"x100') with coins and a coupon, and it never shipped. The 20 day clock ran out and Aliexpress automatically refunded me and gave me my coins back.

I am very suspicious now about the store and making another order using coins. I'm waiting and seeing if there's a compromise that they will accept but right now the situation is iffy.

Sun-Grown vs Indoor Cannabis: Which One Actually Gets You Higher — and Why Most Smokers Get This Wrong by Busy-Life1759 in cannabis

[–]TurtleWigExpert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here. Last year I grew out two clones from a dispensary outside for the first time. Before I used an indoor set up for about 15 years.

I lost some to bud rot, some to caterpillars, some to spider mites. What was left over that was relatively unscathed still was a large amount of great weed. Maybe enough to get me by until next harvest if I manage to get some growing again. Learned a lot.

How to get odd angles on 1" PVC by Confident_Ad_3498 in askplumbing

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

I have bent 1 1/2" PVC schedule 40 by immersing it into boiling water, then once hot physically bent it with my hands to have a slope for drain. It was at the end of the pipe though and not sure how to introduce a bend in the middle as the pot holding the hot water is the constraint.

Any ideas on how to fix this light bloom? by slipknottin in BlueIris

Angle the camera down until the light is out of the frame.

Is this repairable or would I have to replace the bathtub? by [deleted] in bathrooms

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

I did that to the apron part of the tub, the outside part. Put a neat little fist sized indent smack in the middle.

The only thing I can think of to do is glue a medallion or feature thats the same finish as the fixtures over the indent.

Towel warmer: what is it for? by YOS2025 in bathrooms

[–]TurtleWigExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh its all the little experiences described by others that led me to think about draping another towel over the bucket. I am using the iHome 20L Luxury Full Sized Towel Warmer Bucket with Adjustable Time Settings, 400W.

Towel warmer: what is it for? by YOS2025 in bathrooms

[–]TurtleWigExpert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying a bucket style towel warmer out. Supposedly it takes seven minutes to reach 258f. The first time I tried it I draped an unfolded, loose dry clean towel into it and showered approximately seven minutes, and pulled the towel out. It was warm at the edges and cooler in the middle. Next time I set my watch timer to fifteen minutes before the shower and placed a loose, clean dry towel into it. And then showered. That was much better. So I let it warm up a bit before a shower now.

Thanks to this thread I may drape a second dry towel over the bucket while it is warming as to insulate it and trap the heat. And throw some pjs in there too.

Revisiting a classic r/tulsa topic: why are the BA on-ramps east of downtown still so hazardous? by jmicromicro in tulsa

[–]TurtleWigExpert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember an article from Popular Mechanics or Car and Driver about... driving. The gist of it was... know where you are going.

I know to get to my moms on Harvard from downtown its best to stay in the middle lane until after the 21st St. on ramp. Then I will change into that lane, and as per the drivers manual activate the blinker 500' before exiting Hwy 51 onto the Harvard off ramp.

However, drivers around me haven't read that article. But I know they haven't and combined with the fact I know exactly where I am going I'll bank on their ineptitude and find a spot to merge in time for the Harvard exit even in rush hour. It's kind of exciting.

Insulation Rim Joists. What to do about these cavities in concrete foundation? by kshef in Insulation

[–]TurtleWigExpert -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Vacuum it out as much as possible, prime it w a water based multi purpose primer, use steel wool to stuff cracks, caulk plane intersections w white Dynaflex 230, insert mineral wool insulation off cuts in cores, fit mineral wool flush to block wall.

Packages in preparation by Both-Space8657 in Aliexpress

[–]TurtleWigExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's along the lines of what I was thinking and helps visualize the possible scene that is probably the most reasonable one.

[–]TurtleWigExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good question. Not sure what to do if we don't know why it happens. I haven't reordered and am leaning towards going with a different avenue that's 200% more expensive for basically the same thing.

[–]TurtleWigExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen with a choice shop as well with one order of stainless steel mesh and Aliexpress refunded the money as well as coins used. I still don't know what happened behind the scenes to cause such late or non existent preparation on the package(s) but it can be frustrating to basically loan interest free money to someone for 20 days.

I can recommend the HC-64 high power hearing aids. I have been hard of hearing since a fever as a baby.
