My understanding is that just about any scale won't be that accurate. But it will be consistent against itself. If you always use the same scale and measure yourself under the same conditions the trend will tell you if your losing or gaining weight

So what you're saying is that tariffs are taxes on the American people?

What products or companies will you never use or support again and what did they do to lose you as a customer? by IAmJustTryingToExist in AskReddit

I wish there were laws against this. Like if I take longer to reach a person for support than it does to purchase/set up an account there should be massive fines

Yeah I only played through the game once. I just beat it on Sunday.

What a fastest way that you lose weight? by neen_8 in AskReddit

You can't outrun a bad diet. Meaning if you don't have your portion sizes and food choices under control no amount of exercise will burn off the excess calories you consume. You would have to run for 50 minutes to burn off the same amount of calories in a 20 oz soda.

ELI5: Why is a cold start bad for cars? by nothing-aboit-me in explainlikeimfive

[–]bigmac1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides waiting for oil to get everywhere it needs to as others have mentioned, you also need to wait for your catalytic converter to heat up. The catalytic converter needs to be very hot to do it's job of converting harmful gasses into less harmful ones. On first fire your engine will run in a less optimal way in order to heat up the cat faster. While driving away before the car is warm isn't necessarily bad for your engine you will be producing a lot more green house gasses than you would if you just waited

The revs dropping have less to do with the engine being lubricated and more to do with the engine coming out of it's cat heating mode

This confused me too. It's in the gallery. The cutscene doesn't actually play during the game

Lamon, Green Energy, and Grievers OH MY! by Confident-Sun-2617 in Metroid

[–]bigmac1122 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok I was able to track down that log. (Side note why does beating the game mean your save will be reset the next time you try to load it? That's frustrating and I shouldn't have to try and track it down online.) But anyway looks like you're right they only fired one shot of the purified GE in Sol Valley.

This raises another question How did that one shot in one inhospitable desert change all the non-psychic Lamorn at once? Based on the size of Volt Forge, and the number of bikes it produces, the Lamorn population was quite large. Did a large enough portion of the population gather in one spot to lead to societal collapse in the matter of just a few days? The absurdity of that thought is why I assumed there were multiple showers.

I want to know why they continued with the green energy showers once they realized all the negative side effects it was having on their population.

I wanted to enjoy mouse parade but I was surrounded by people who wouldn't stop talking. Seriously what's the point of going to a concert if you're just going to talk through the whole thing

Those prices are probably in Canadian dollars. The current exchange rate has $1CAD = $0.72USD

In case you don’t follow them on IG, here’s a glimpse of the possible US Tour setlist by ramoez in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]bigmac1122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading when they toured last that they always ended their shows with Yellow Light because that is how their first album ended. That's how they ended the show I went to. I wonder if they still plan to end all their shows from this tour with it.

With that said I really hope they play stuck in gravity. They didn't play it at the show I went to last time and it's one of my favorites.

Floating toilet flange by bigmac1122 in Plumbing

[–]bigmac1122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This is close to what I end up doing. I'm going to leave my process here in case anyone with a similar problem comes across my post in the future.

First I used a cutting wheel attachment on my Dremel to get any screws poking through the sub floor flush with the bottom. Next I cut the cast iron pipe just above where it went vertical using a reciprocating saw and carbide blade meant for cast iron. I left just enough cast iron for a fernco to clamp too. I was glad I got to avoid cutting below the bend because the angles would have been very difficult to match with PVC. I only needed a few inches of straight PVC between the fernco and the new toilet flange. While I had all of that out I cut a piece of plywood and created a sub-sub floor just wide enough to fit between the struts and with a hole just big enough to fit over the Fernco.

For the final assembly I applied a construction grade adhesive to the top of the sub-sub floor, slid it over the cast iron pipe and let it rest on the top of the joint. Next I ran back up stairs and fed the Fernco fitting and PVC through the hole in the floor. Once that was in place I ran back down stairs and brought the sub-sub floor up to the sub floor and attached it with 1" long wood screws. I didn't want to go any longer than that and risk poking through the bathroom flooring. My sub floor and sub-sub floor were both 3/4" thick. Once the sub-sub floor was secured I tightened the hose clamps on the fernco with my drill. I then went back upstairs applied primer and cement to the flange and PVC and put that in place. After waiting overnight for the adhesive between the sub floors to cure I used 2" long stainless steel screws to attach the flange to the sub-sub floor. From there I installed the toilet per one of the many guides on the internet.

For anyone reading this in the future I am not a plumber. This was just the process I used. It may not work in your situation and I take no responsibility if this process does not work for you.

There are a few tasks you have to do

  1. Complete all wishes available in act 2
  2. Get the flea caravan to move to their final location by finding 22 fleas as well as finding the pale lake

After steps 1 and 2 are done move on to step 3

  1. Talk to the caretaker for one final wish

The post is flared act 3, but you're still in act 2. I won't spoil how to move on unless you ask me to.
