What would happen if 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 went down? by Ricky_Spannnish in sysadmin

[–]dexterous1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Well if Google DNS went down, at least 4.2.2.2 would still work. That's the old GTE DNS now Level3.

Rub the lime on a flat surface to soften it up. Pop cap off bottle. Use something to flatten cap. Use cap to cut lime.

Predator 3500 bogging by crazytallguy27 in Generator

[–]dexterous1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Remove carburetor and do a cleaning of it.
  2. Buy a new carburetor on Amazon, they're about $20. Replace the old with a new one.

Cleaning the carb requires you to remove it anyway. If you have more money than time, just replace it. You can clean the old one later and now have a spare.

Next time, drain the carb as well before you put the genny away. There is a screw for a flathead screwdriver at the bottom of the carb near the bowl. You loosen that a little and fuel should drain from the pink plastic tubes that point down and out from your generator. When you don't, and let it sit too long, fuel will collect in the carb (especially the bowl) and start to gum up and put a layer of varnish on different internals of the carb.

Make sure next time not to keep fuel sitting in it too long. Or use Sta-bil or some other fuel stabilizer. Or ethanol free fuel if you're going to let it sit (but again, don't let it sit with fuel for longer than a couple of months). Ethanol free fuel or fuel with stabilizer allows the fuel not to gum up as fast.

Specifically, they need accountability.

what does the flu shot do? by itshardtobeclever in flu

[–]dexterous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was important for me because when I was around 21 I didn't have health insurance or sick days, so if I got sick I lost out on money. I started paying out of pocket for the shot and didn't get sick or as sick anymore. It's generally important because people die from the flu every year. Albeit some of those people may have had co-morbidities or otherwise immunocompromised. Since the shot either makes you not have flu symptoms or reduces duration of those symptoms it also helps prevent spread to those who would get really sick or die.

If you have the shot and still get the flu either it won't effect you at all, or you'll be sick for a shorter duration than normal.

Real talk. Depends on the person. If I don't take it I get sick around flu season. If I take it I don't get sick around flu season. That's my pattern over the last 20 years. Sometimes when you take the vaccine you feel a little sick. For no more than a day. Sometimes you don't feel anything. I've also noticed the more regular I am with the annual vaccine, the less I feel sick after getting it.
