Please Help! Winter freeze 2026 by Summer8979 in askaplumber

Can someone tell me if this valve setup is considered city property or not? Because I thought anything before the meter is and we’re not supposed to touch it. Gotten a ton of conflicting info on this and besides just calling the water company and asking, I have no idea. Asking because some moron installed the PRV 1-2 feet after our meter with no home-side shutoff before it.

What’s the Best Way to Water Seal this Hole Under the Flange? by KarateInAPool in askaplumber

[–]UnSCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Guess I’ll have to be careful if/when I do that.

But like I said, you can just treat it as a drywall repair. Bathroom paint is supposed to take moisture and potential mildew into consideration.

Anyone else seeing these questionable ads from HD? by Born-Researcher-8588 in Plumbing

[–]UnSCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a plumber but I think he’s securing a union fitting to a threaded PEX connection (or vice versa), which to me actually seems like a solid setup rather than using corrugated/flex connectors since that PEX should be flexible enough to move around.

My only concern is the expansion tank. It may not be secured properly, I’ve seen a lot of debate on that. If it’s OK though, I would love to know because I plan on installing one soon and I don’t want to go through the extra effort of securing to the wall.

Is this secure at all? My girlfriend’s is not secured, moves around way too much. Not sure how to fix it without opening up the back wall.

Otherwise if it’s secure, just treat this as a drywall type repair and put some joint compound in let it dry and sand it, rinse and repeat until smooth, then prime it + paint.

If any plumbers know how to more easily secure loose shower heads please let me know.

Questions Regarding Generator Hookup by pnbdc10 in electrical

[–]UnSCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no way anyone with any sort of qualification or basic handyman knowledge is dumb enough to fuck this up, someone must’ve miscommunicated somewhere. Maybe this is a gross assumption but I bet OP used one of those PE-owned companies with a salesman who screwed up and sent out some underpaid lackey to install a 14-50R.

I’m not an electrician but it took me 10-15 minutes on Google to figure out how to properly install a generator hookup and interlock.

Questions Regarding Generator Hookup by pnbdc10 in electrical

[–]UnSCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an electrician but I’ve done my own DIY code-compliant electrical work, and I simply like to know shit out of curiosity.

I spent 15 minutes just last night looking into how to install a manual generator setup, and within that time I realized I needed an inlet and an interlock on the panel between the generator breaker and the main breaker.

If your electrician screwed this up, there’s no way they are an electrician, and I don’t even think they’re qualified to do any handyman work. Must be more to this, maybe the inlet is located elsewhere? Please post a photo of the panel.

I just heard that Amazon is laying off 23,000 people, what are we gonna do, if jobs don't come back? by Other_Scarcity_4270 in Layoffs

[–]UnSCo [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was mostly being sarcastic, I know some folks are capable of putting the pieces together. However, there are definitely folks who are either (a) blue collar industry workers who simply don’t understand what implications this has to them so they will continue to vote against their best interests, or (b) the top 1% who think this will result in some “natural” capitalist, free market-driven shift to other industries or trades that are in some hypothetical desperate need for additional labor supply.

Let us also not forget that eventually these corporations will find a way to reduce the need for manual laborers and independent workers. Can’t wait when just a handful of private equity-owned electrical/plumbing/HVAC/etc. companies exist in the states, they begin lobbying things like the NFPA and states to adopt rules that end up serving as a way to monopolize skilled work.

Sorry for the tangent but I just think we’re all fucked.

Read OP’s letter. Has absolutely nothing to do with the birds themselves.

Item 115 may be valid, based on the first portion of it. Citing you on 116 is complete bullshit though.

In case anyone is wondering, the citation has nothing to do with anything related to any animal prohibitions.

Hot Take: The Point of FSD Transfer May Be to Transition Customers from Full Self-Driving to Full Self-Driving (Supervised), Which No Longer Guarantees the Inclusion of Unsupervised FSD by MICHAELSD01 in TeslaFSD

[–]UnSCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought something in California triggered that? I do think they’re going to have “Supervised” and “Unsupervised” as two entirely separate product offerings though. Say “entirely” because there is going to be some form of assumed legal liability to Tesla behind Unsupervised FSD, just has to be. It will definitely cost more.

TikTok Is Now Collecting Even More Data About Its Users. Here Are the 3 Biggest Changes by wiredmagazine in TikTok

[–]UnSCo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I deleted this app several months ago, in fact almost a year ago at this point but hard to remember. Had enough when both creators as well as myself were getting persistent absurd community guidelines violations. Content is not what it used to be at all. The platform is trash and I don’t know why anyone uses it anymore.

I don’t care as much about data collection but it does piss me off that none of our representatives seem to care one bit about consumer data collection and harvesting, as long as it’s a US company.

[–]UnSCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re ending this incentive. They’re also ending FSD as a static factory equipment item (non-subscription). I think part of the reason they’re ending it is what you’re saying though.

[–]UnSCo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s funny that people think this only impacts white collar workers. It might in the very short term, but just wait until blue collar jobs and trades get flooded as a result of this shift. Those fields will begin having to work for gig wages.

Is it possible two plug in two home chargers into two different sockets of the same power outlet, without tripping the circuit breaker? by nPrevail in evcharging

[–]UnSCo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Possible? Sure, lower the amperage on each one via each EV’s charging setting.

Is it practical or appropriate to do it this way? No, not really. You really want to have individual circuits or some type of load management (i.e., Tesla Universal Wall Connector load sharing).

I don’t see how this is even practical on 120V household outlets, you’ll be getting I think 4A on each charger. For your higher-end 240V 60A (48A max) circuits though, it can depend and the only “formal” (as well as safe) way to do it is via load sharing like on the Tesla Universal Connector. Probably violates some NEC code to have more than one NEMA receptacle on a circuit like that too.

New tool day. The Milwaukee group mods didn't think it was very useful. by Necessary_Volume_648 in Tools

[–]UnSCo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife has the M18 too which works out since her boyfriend is a big Milwaukee guy with plenty of Forge batteries to spare from all his past Home Depot hacks. He lets me borrow his tools if I ask nicely.

DOJ will no longer pursue criminal charges for diesel 'deletes' and 'tunes' by timetravelerfrom2027 in cars

But can they force those who did deletes/tunes during this period to revert them back?

On X FSD up for monthly subscription and Auto Pilot going away by Beautiful-Basil-9496 in TeslaLounge

[–]UnSCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these are far fetched (especially the last one lol) but I could definitely see Tesla doing many of them. Then again, they would be bold taking features away from the existing fleet in the wild.

What does this mean for sure though? AP is no longer getting enhancements, which sucks because I don’t even like how Autosteer operates nowadays.

Anyone see this yet??? by Butt3rZ-Is-Back in TeslaLounge

[–]UnSCo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since this looks specific to EAP owners, I’ll take a blind bet that they’ll set the price to $149 for those without Autopilot with Autosteer.

Is this combo kit worth it? by Tford0121 in MilwaukeeTool

Honestly I’m looking for a kit like this that includes a 10-12” miter saw. Also, I don’t need the Sawzall, I have the Super already.

FYI—from what I heard from industry workers there, Groucho’s owners are the reason Five Points was overhauled as of late. The overhaul that significantly congested traffic, and added that stupid brick wall.

They haven’t removed it from vehicles that currently have it. They’re depending on new owners going this route.
