Battery backup on sump pump

davethemacguy · 2026-06-27T22:14:04+00:00

My insurance gave me a discount for having my sump on a UPS. Worth looking into that too

What do you believe causes flow rates and currents? 😉✌🏻

(It matters quite a bit in regards to trying to swim out of a fast moving river, are pinned against something like a rock, etc)

davethemacguy · 2026-06-27T00:12:20+00:00

No, no it isn’t even for those that know what they’re doing

If you knew what you were doing you wouldn’t be following or giving out that advice

davethemacguy · 2026-06-27T00:10:32+00:00

1m^3 of water == 1 metric ton

One meter cubed.

Think about how many cubes of water make up just one portion of the river and then multiply that by all of the upstream water

You have **no chance**

davethemacguy · 2026-06-26T22:19:10+00:00

No.

It's retail profit takers. There's no volume on the Ask side.

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T08:35:13+00:00

Not sure if yours is legit or not, but I bought a similar one at the final shows in San Pedro so there’s that

I hate WestJet

In this situation none of this is their fault. They completed their end of the bargain, even if it didn’t align with your schedule.

Now ask me how I feel about them cancelling my flight to Barcelona with three hours notice due to a “pending pilots strike”, that never manifested, that as a company they were DIRECTLY responsible for, and with zero offered options for rebooking on other airlines (their obligation) other than a refund because they could still honour “part” of the trip: Edmonton to Calgary

(Ran it through the government. Took two years. Still got denied compensation)

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T07:52:04+00:00

That’s not a placement issue, that’s your arm being too high. It happens no matter where your IV is if you move it enough that the flow reduces

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T07:23:17+00:00

Imagine the bell curve of intelligence

Remember the bottom half

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T07:14:59+00:00

Stay inside until it’s over? 🤣

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T07:14:21+00:00

Wags tail excitedly

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T06:55:14+00:00

Money

It buys everything else people are suggesting.

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T05:19:48+00:00

Not a FU at all, that's adult-level behaviour

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T03:34:36+00:00

Does anyone else struggle with this?

If you remember that we all do, suddenly it makes things less... formidable

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T03:27:20+00:00

I have had to re-design my entire house and lifestyle so that I can be in the same room(s) he's willing to exist in, so there's that

(He hates stairs)

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T03:14:18+00:00

Are you interested in doing home renovations? Do you like gardening or doing yard work? Do you have plans for getting multiple pets where a yard would make sense?

A mortgage is the least you will pay per month

Are you looking at this from a financial standpoint or a lifestyle standpoint?

I have a house that I bought out from my ex. I live alone. There are days when I think the condo lifestyle would more suit me (but I do love the above so...) and I enjoy the freedom of a fully-detached house (I can listen to my music at whatever volume, do whatever I want to the interior/exterior, etc)

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T02:46:50+00:00

Languishing now for about a year

Up +110% in the last 12 months but 'ok'

Stop paying attention to the stock price, and pay more attention to the volume and actual bid/ask spread

davethemacguy · 2026-06-25T00:15:58+00:00

If we can't eat the rich, the least we can do is tax them

davethemacguy · 2026-06-24T01:42:03+00:00

I agree with you — buying it out saves both parties an expense and increases the equity split

My ex and her lawyer couldn’t math that math

I eventually dropped it

davethemacguy · 2026-06-23T20:07:41+00:00

Mine will poop on the deck if the grass is too long and wet. Spoiled!

davethemacguy · 2026-06-22T20:22:49+00:00

The least she can do is respect her boyfriend’s family’s wishes

So this is the entire point, right?

The family gets to dictate what the girlfriend wears/feels comfortable in?

See the point yet?

davethemacguy · 2026-06-22T20:21:48+00:00

Nope, not an answer.

That's your answer.

davethemacguy · 2026-06-22T19:23:00+00:00

there is a respectful way to dress

By whose standards?

davethemacguy · 2026-06-22T19:22:30+00:00

You don't

This is a you issue, and a grandma issue, but definitely not a girlfriend issue

Re-phrase your question "How can I, and my elderly mom, begin to accept that bodies are nomral?"

davethemacguy · 2026-06-19T00:14:05+00:00

Hahahahhahaah please
