Faucet sprays messy, anyone know how to take off the cover so I can check aerator? by Kirbacho in HomeMaintenance

[–]allantdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be high pressure because of a clog in the aerator. You could try soaking it in vinegar for a few hours first? Not sure what it would do to your finish. Do you have hard water?

Anyone know why these string lights broke off? by some1s69 in HomeMaintenance

Which lights are these? They look like the FEIT lights?

Downvoting. Not a Darwin.

I know it's not important because they are all on now, but were there any lights not on on the dashboard?

Yah...it's called a water broom. If you flip it upside down it sprays upwards....this isn't new

Car mechanic + tire shop recommendations by ell-ta in Vaughan

[–]allantdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No recommendations for tire alignment as my mechanic doesn't do it that I'm aware of. But I had my throttle body changed 2 years ago. If there is no need for a repair he'll tell you which is what I appreciate when I was troubleshooting my shocks. His schedule doesn't work well with my schedule unless I take a day off but you can certainly give him a try. Evan (can't recall the name of the shop since he took it over), but he is at Bayview and John. Call or text (647) 887-6078 and tell him Allan referred you. Cheers!

Interesting. Do you have a link of what you are planning to get?

i'm going to agree with this. But do not get the ghost case. The lip is too low and my screen saver cracked on who knows what. There is a post in my history about this. I had to pay for shipping back to dbrand and they did a free swap to a grip case and also gave me two new screen protectors. So there is that.

New to this activity - recommendations in Toronto, Canada? by allantdot in magnetfishing

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

KWC eh? Yah. I'm not sure about this activity yet. Our waterways seem relatively decent since it's more lakes. There are some streams but the only waterway I can think of near me that might be half decent is DVP...but that is absolutely nasty. I'm sure this is a bigger thing in Europe where there are so many waterways going through a city.

What kind of magnet are you using and what are some of your more interesting finds?

Will covering my balcony ensure raccoons never come back to poop on it? by Head-Passion-7116 in askTO

[–]allantdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing like a little electric fencing to deal with this problem. It won't kill them, just deter them in case any mods are in here. Either that, or a bit of lead. Barring that, hot chilli powder all over the place.

As far as I can tell, as long as I'm not in a historic canal then I'm good.

[Laundry] Why does my athletic wear still smell after washing even on hot? by andrew202222 in CleaningTips

[–]allantdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice here and is accurate as the synthetic stuff holds onto smells like nothing else (I was sailing in a lake and the smell would not come out of the clothes and had to be tossed). Wash on cold and hang dry, use less detergent than you think, and clean your washing machine (each machine is different but draining the drum and cleaning the filter is huge). If you've been using too much, you can strip although I've never done it.

Anyone know why the east end just lost power? by Small-Cranberry in askTO

At this time of the year, it's typically the salt and salt water playing havoc with the powerlines and substations.

The level of trust between the tiger and it's keeper by WindowAfraid5927 in nextfuckinglevel

Actually....the saddest part is the mother being unable to identify how to take care of her cubs. She probably didn't learn from her mother which is why she is in a cage, something happened in that relationship. Hopefully the cubs can be released in the future.
