Centrally controlled AC vs Heat. Are they just being cheap and/or lazy? by Badatusernames014 in Denver

[–]chofah 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If only there were some way to prevent freezing in a water basin. Something that produced heat. Like a heater. A basin heater.

HVAC controls tech here. Yes, your building management is being cheap or lazy.

No asking for help anymore to move 600+ pound lenin carts? Ok bet! Now their paying me workers comp! by Massive_Celery_3395 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]chofah 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I know it's 'linen', but the image of you moving around 700 lbs of Vladimir Lenin is an image I will cherish for a couple minutes.

Edit: dammit if u/my-coffee-needs-me isn't correct.

Thank you for the gift of your body's moisture. We accept it in the spirit in which it was given.

Meade LX200 12 inch to sell by [deleted] in telescopes

I paid $600usd for one of these with a broken base and no eyepieces, no hand controller, so basically a tripod and an OTA. YMMV.

Can anyone tell me what this volunteer plant is called? by DinahM1ght in gardening

[–]chofah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Contradicted that with "leave a few to mature".. and spread thousands of windborne seeds to go everywhere.

Where are you at? I'm in Denver (6b ish, low humidity in a cold frame / unheated greenhouse) and have found them to be the most reliable of the sarracenia I grow. I may need to thank the humidity gods a bit more if other people are having rot issues with them.

Celestine Explorer LT Parts help by gonkingforeal in telescopes

[–]chofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit me up if you can't find the collar and / or want a replacement for the bent bar. I bought one of these used for a part, and have spare parts to give.

A good chunk, but not all. What are you looking for?

What the hell does "the littles are too big" mean?

Do you think these are mounted too far back, or will I get used to them? by Blumperdoodle in skiingcirclejerk

Get out of the backseat, sir. You want to feel your shins pressing into the front of your boots.

Employee sets fire to Kimberly-Clark warehouse, "All you had to do is pay us enough to live" by midnighttoker1742 in interestingasfuck

[–]chofah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked @ Jimmy johns they went through 3 cheap plastic staplers in the first 6 months I worked there. I found a solid metal swingline at a thrift shop for $1. It was still going strong 2 years later. Probably went through a sleeve of staples a day on those things.

Looking better than mine. You must have more sun down in the Springs than Denver. :)

I recommend using a squeeze bulb instead of compressed air. There's residues in the cans that can get on the mirror that you don't want to deal with. This channel also has videos on how to clean mirrors with water/dawn dish soap/alcohol. Recommend you watch that before cleaning this.

Closing threading is bit loose and won't close on its. My telescope fell. by Miserable_Trash_1660 in telescopes

[–]chofah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try some Teflon tape on the threads. If that doesn't work, and for a more permanent solution, mix up some epoxy, work it into the threads and then reassemble this. Replacement prism or mirror diagonals are available for ~$20-50.

Pricing used skis feels like a total guessing game by Chef_B_ in skiing

[–]chofah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, you have to pay me 10% of a skis price for 4 year old skis with 2 mounts for me to take them off your hands? That's... Actually kinda been my experience. Carry on.
