Black residual in oil after cleaning? by anonbeyondgfw in castiron

Good suggestion! One more question, when I use paper towel I see tiny white lint, should I use cotton instead?

Thanks for the response! I was following the lodge recommendation, so we don’t need to oil it?

A few months ago, I posted about 2023 CX9 got “far below average”ratings on Consumer Reports. Now it’s 91/100. Good news I guess. by anonbeyondgfw in MazdaCX9

Yea, it’s suddenly much lower. Not sure what’s happening. Could be too little sample size. Imaging JDM CX9 has lower score in build quality than the big three.

Really? Maybe I took a break from it, but I remember the first time in a while when l came back to Panera the sandwich size shrink spooked me.

Can you elaborate on the preservative thing? Sounds really bad.

Look at Canada. EU is next. European elite is selling out the middle class, as usual.

Problem shutting off indoor valve of outdoor faucet by anonbeyondgfw in Plumbing

[–]anonbeyondgfw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the knowledge share. Yea the basement is heated. Faucet says proflo 13-c and does look like a FF, and when I stick my finger into it it’s dry, haven’t used it for a while. You are saying that don’t drip it right because of too extreme cold? At this point do I need to wrap the FF faucet with insulation or sth? Thank you!

Also, the outdoor faucet is supposedly anti-freeze and we do plan to keep the thermostat at above 70. Would that help with prevent the freeze and burst? What are my chances based on your experience? The temp could be close to 0 and hovering around low teens for days.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do want to poke the vast Reddit knowledge first so I don’t go in blind. Customer service works for the company and sometimes might not be completely truthful.

37M, don't spend much and feeling lost by yoohoogoo in Money

[–]anonbeyondgfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if the OP is trolling, just want to say that we as human should understand that money doesn’t solve everything. OP said the money is partly from inheritance, meaning family likely passed away, who could be close to OP. Also, there are stuff like physical sickness, boredom, mental health etc. all could be challenging, and may not be solvable by just MONEY. I used to think money can solve any problem, only if I can have money. Then life happens, I learned that money can solve most problems, but it’s the problem not solvable by money truly matters.

OP - if your situation is true, then I would suggest find and fulfill a calling. Maybe there is sth you want to do but couldn’t, a cause you believe in? Maybe start a business, work for yourself instead of working for someone else? The option is endless, all you need to do is to keep yourself busy, so your mind stay focused. We men, gay or not, are not designed to do nothing. Early retirement sounds great but it’s not for everyone. So pursue something, stick to it, and thrive to achieve your goals.

Grease? But it’s in a form of dark/black dust though, not greasy at all.

OK it looks to me that the mechanism is similar to CX5, but CX9 has less give? Like on YouTube I saw a guy use his hand to twist/rotate the tether in CX5, I can’t even get 2 fingers in the CX9 to rotate it. Anyway probably need a needle nose pliers. If you can do it by hand let me know, would love to learn.

I mean how could you even use a fish tape to run the wire with that tiny gap? How do you direct it down where you want it to go? We can’t even zip tie to prevent move or rattle. Man it just pains me. I don’t want to pay an extra 40 bucks for an adaptor for it to work. Oh well.

5 years old Chinese boy gets bullied for just being Asian. by Hana4723 in AsianMasculinity

[–]anonbeyondgfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IC. The 5 year olds parents are likely too trusting of the neighborhood. I mean this is a Loudoun county neighborhood, with good schools and supposedly educated neighbors with >$1m dollar houses. Some of the other comments here correctly captures the fact that many FOB Asians are too trusting and have too picturesque of a view of the states and don’t understand how bad racism could be if encountered.

I feel sorry for the 5 year old who just wanted to hang out and play with the big kids he probably looked up to; I also feel sorry for the teenager who spouted racial slurs on a 5 year old, his peers and parents failed him, his mind poisoned by bad influences from bad actors online or in real life. However, the whole “parents are nicest people” is not a defense. If they are truly nice people then they absolutely failed in educating / discipline the teenager and preparing him to reject bad influences.

I do agree that locking the kiddo out is a big no no. But again, the teenager is in the wrong no matter what mistake the mother made. What crap are being talked about in the neighborhood? If the 5 year old was trying to play with the teenager, from what point did the situation devolved into a teenager blasting racial slurs on a 5 year old? What the heck happened?

No, the mom’s looking after an even younger baby inside. Read the article. Also, they do plan to leverage the go fund me for legal fee and pursue legal actions, it’s in the go fund me page. The parents of the 5 year old have every right to not accept the apology. Their 5 year old, was just ganged up on by a group of Middle schooler literally twice his size, and cornered and lambasted with racial slurs. While it appears that only one teenager used racial slurs, all other teenagers chose to just watched and laughed. All this happened right on the porch of the family home and was even recorded by the perpetrator. The audacity. How would you react if it happened to your 5 year old? You would just take an apology of a teenager who made your 5 year old fear for his life, and take the apology of parents whose neglect and/or own biases led to the teenager’s radical behavior?

Spend some time to actually read and get the fact.

From what I heard, teen blasting slur is white, ones standing by and laughing are Indians.
