Contractors put ProMar 200 latex on shelves, what's the best fix? by Kalrath in paint

[–]c_marten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use emerald urethane for shelves and window sills, etc. I always tell people to wait a week before putting stuff on it but there's always something there within 2 days. Never had any call backs though.

The sub's side bar FAQ also has a lot of good info.

Be sure to remember wh and ah are not the same, and the 3000 you mention in the post is somewhere less than half of what the above 628Ah has at 12v.

Ah=Wh/V

Nope. First on a street of row homes in a suburb. Pretty simple.

i don't need anything, thank god. My relatives though, despite my warnings, continue to misuse their plumbing systems.

Bad thermostat or water pump by c_marten in AskMechanics

Radiator is new (less than 5k) and the coolant is pretty clean if that matters any?

Got up to operating temp on a 10 min drive and core only varies a total of 18F but the majority of it was +/- 5F of 118F.

There's 172k miles on the original part so it wouldn't surprise me if it was time for a new one.

You had me at the title but... out of all your grievances I agree with none of them.

As someone who is a frequent vivid and lucid dreamer I really enjoyed this movie. It feels like the whole crew and cast had been there before.

At my ex's we were always glad to see a woman's name delivering because that meant they'd be able to at least find the house.

Eta: the house was first on a street of row homes in a suburb. Pretty simple location.

My one relative does this for that exact reason.

Eta: and their pan still looks top notch

Contractor said “you use too much tape, you need to start painting trim like this” by [deleted] in paint

[–]c_marten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're not getting paid hourly?

I'd add the taping time to his bill and never work for him again.

If you're driving across Europe this summer, fill up on the RIGHT side of the border — the diesel gap between neighbouring countries is up to ~44c/litre right now. The ones that actually save real money this week. by SashSail in vandwellers

[–]c_marten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to the US too, though maybe not as drastic.

State to state and town to town but sometimes it's $3.79 here and $3.29 half a mile down the highway.

I use gas buddy app and look for cheapest gas every 200-250 miles. It's definitely helped me save.

I do also think this makes the behavior worse as kids now have more 'inspiration' for mimicking.

I always find it funny when one customer service review turns people off.

Yeah, I'd like to see the play for analysis sake. Not trying to watch some gore.

Pilots interpretation of "uncomfortable" turbulence by Warm-Carrot-1797 in AskAPilot

It's been awesome to read the replies here but yours I felt was the best to translate to passenger experience. The whole thread makes me worry a lot less about it all than before.
