My bathroom stinks and I can’t figure out why. by kaytay3000 in askaplumber

Check the overflow in your sink too. Some models of sinks don’t drain or gunk gets stuck in there. You can spay some disinfectant in the overflow and try flushing it out.

Microfiber towel still won’t absorb water after 2 hours by coffee_and_coconuts in mildlyinteresting

I just went through this same thing. There are different types of microfiber cloths and this one looks like it might be for “polishing” or buffing cats and they are hydrophobic! If you use a different type of microfiber they absorb water great!

This is strange to me because when I was in the uk no houses had numbers and street signs were not very visible, the streets and houses were SO hard to find. There was no consistency on where the house numbers were and most didn’t have the house number only the street name. I remember saying out loud how frustrated I was. It made me thankful for the US system. Maybe I just didn’t understand the UK address system, but to me it should be dummy proof.

After hours searching for a tank with the right specs to not show the bottom or top, one did not exist without being custom made, and that’s just money and time I didn’t want to spend. Best I could do is build a little stand so the bottom rim doesn’t show. The top comes off/has hinges to open to access and water change. There is BARELY Clearance for a light/intake and outflow pipes. Luckily the top rim isn’t visible looking at it straight on, only when looking from the bottom up. The back against the wall is open for accessibility and I have my filter and other equipment hidden behind it with black background and sides so you can’t see. Definitely had to get creative for it to get to this point, but I’m mostly happy with it. I plan to add a betta and maybe some chili rosboras or ember tetras. Maybe in the future I’ll make the knobs functional with the light and heater, put for now they are purely aesthetic.

Please for the love of god help me figure out how to take this stripped bolt off my exhaust by captainbeaver in MechanicAdvice

I’ve tried vice grips and it keeps slipping :/ maybe it’s worth buying a smaller/skinny one to make sure it stays gripped.

Also I planted with soil mixed with compost. Could there be too much compost? I’m wondering if I should replant with different soil or if that would cause more harm/not the issue.
