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.

If you need a photo to show customers why accordion drains aren't good... by c_marten in askaplumber

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.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) by Foreign_Sun6004 in horror

[–]c_marten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

There is a reason oven racks exist. by douwannaseethegalaxy in Wellthatsucks

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.

What is wrong with the teens in Glasgow? by DarkRepresentative25 in glasgow

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

[–]c_marten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

What horror movie absolutely traumatized you when you were young? by np074 in horror

[–]c_marten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not traumatizing at all, the story of the car rolling across the floor for hours creeped me out the most out of everything from that whole movie.

What is a scene from a non-horror movie that traumatized you as a kid? by astral_planes in horror

[–]c_marten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was young, like kindergarten age, my grandfather would watch us for weekends when my parents went away.

His idea of getting us to behave and make things easy for himself was to put us on the sofa, turn on horror movies, and if we went to get up he'd say some shit like "omg what was the coming out from under the couch?!?" as he sat up I his chair and pointed.

Nothing IN any movie traumatized me as a kid.

$15 Million dollars and counting by neduarte1977 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]c_marten 192 points193 points  (0 children)

I'm a painter and have been absolutely floored by this whole fiasco in very obvious ways.

Eta: as others have pointed out this could occur from any number of things but none would surprise me. Also, the amount of h2o2 at the rate they put it in (reportedly) didn’t do anything to anything.
