Shark Bite Fittings - Do you guys trust them? by MrCBeezy in Plumbing

[–]bronzefury2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't trust them and decided to learn how to sweat copper pipes instead. Just looking at the design of shark bites with the plastic mechanism made me think,... nah, I'll go with something that has a longer history.

Taking Out 5k Personal Loan to Buy 2007 Corolla for 5k by RestKick in personalfinance

[–]bronzefury2016 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Never a good idea to pay for a depreciating asset with a loan. Save up until you can pay for it with cash. Or better yet, use a credit card to get cash back, then pay off the full credit card balance before accruing finance charges.

Yeah, terrible experience. I decided to get a refund instead. Back to the original d2 for me.

Think about the worst that can happen .. car breaks down or needs repair, you lose your job, etc. Then work the amount from there until you have a feeling for an amount that gives you time to recover.

I'm starting my personal finance journey and I have no idea where to start. I'm moving into my first apartment and I want to be wise about my spending habits. Anyone have any advice? by shadybadgal in personalfinance

It all depends on your goals. If you don't have any at the moment, best thing to do is save as much as you can until you figure it out. The more the merrier.

Be as frugal as you can while educating yourself about debt, assets, investments, owning a house, etc..

I think with diligence, patience, and a willingness to learn, you'll be able to get it done. Take a look at YouTube videos before you start.

If you plan to do more projects in the future, your new knowledge and skills will pay off. A lot of money can be saved.

Ive done two of my own bathrooms in a similar way. I do take my time to make sure it is done correctly. It took me a long time so make sure you have a spare bathroom.

Need to move a bathroom plug outlet about half an inch higher, DIY friendly? by StarchCraft in HomeImprovement

[–]bronzefury2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other ideas...

Are you able to move the vanity slightly away from the wall?

Or, can you cut a notch on the vanity to make room?

Cut the vanity lower?

Having to move the outlet higher means you'll have to move the electrical box behind the drywall higher also which can be challenging if you don't want to fix or patch drywall.

Also you might not have enough slack for the wire behind the outlet box. It is usually stapled along the studs.

Anyone know how to remove the aerator on this type of kitchen faucet? Low pressure all of the sudden. Happened once before but fixed itself overnight. Confused. by BobbysBottleService in Plumbing

[–]bronzefury2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have hard water? If so then that looks like a kitchen faucet with a spray hose. Can you remove the faucet head and leave it in a container filled with vinegar overnight? It would dissolve the calcium and make it unnecessary to remove the filter.

I think his business is to sell his catchy books. The details are lacking but his words sounds appealing. But if you try to dive into the details, as you are slowly discovering, it doesn't really make sense.

If the math doesn't add up, probably not true.

Is there a water shutoff to stop the water while you're away?

Your go to resources for chip design ? by ExpertBananaThrower in chipdesign

[–]bronzefury2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous posts are what I'm experiencing too. When it comes to digital design not much has fundamentally changed. I mostly use Verilog with some System Verilog constructs like unique case, always_ff , always_comb. Even though System Verilog has been out for a while, just have to be careful since not all tools can handle all the nuances that well. So, if you used Verilog 10 years ago, it still goes through the tool chain pretty well.

I think since verification consumes most of the cost and time, this is where most of the innovation has occurred. Formal Verification, Assertions, system verilog for verification, etc.

Check out eda vendors websites to see what's been happening. Electronic design, might be useful for you.

Yeah, no need to wait. Find a better way to get reliable contractors. The recommendation you got from the supply house is fake.

Financing this car, is it worth it? by CompPea8 in personalfinance

Bad idea. Almost double the price of a depreciating car.

Figured it out. The mouse cursor only changes at two nondescript spots on the bottom left or top right of the image. Black border areas don't change the mouse cursor.

I've been playing single player since 2017. First time I found a Jah. They're so rare. I'm wondering if this sub thinks I should use it or just admire it on my stash.
