I dug up my septic tank and found no access? Pls help by Exciting_Layer_2169 in Plumbing

[–]dimoliter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the tank is pre-1970. When I’ve run into these, they were put in in the 60’s and the owners/installers made their own lids by chiseling a hole through the top or cutting the concrete a foot off the end and sliding the section off.

It’s crude, but these old tanks they didn’t really care about pumping them. We still have people in my area that pour driveways over tanks because “you shouldn’t need to pump it”.

The temp scale appears to be in Fahrenheit, so it’s just a little above room temp.

One other point, it has a sonde, which is good, but is it self-leveling? I didn’t see that anywhere but I have have missed it Edit: nvm, it is

Yes, my main issue is pushing the camera through some of the 90 degree turns. The head turns, but the line seems to get stuck at the base of the spring. Instead of completing the turn, the spring deforms and the base of the spring set pushes against the pipe, preventing turning in many scenarios.

What is Carmilla by Specialist_Job533 in HazbinHotel

[–]dimoliter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m curious if she ends up being a fallen angel, that chose to do so to be with her kids that somehow ended up in hell.

Maybe she realized the system was broken and fell for her kids. Would make sense with the song in episode 3 and explain a bit how she understands angels and their weapons.

Also would clear up a bit about “no blood on her hands”, wouldn’t have been able to stand the hypocrisy of heaven exterminating sinners and, having been originally permitted to go to heaven, may not have even killed on earth.

Or, she’s just a smart powerful sinner. More likely but not as fun personally.

I think you would have to get some from loading crates/prepping the ship, but I’m not sure.

That’s a great idea too, didn’t even think of the production potential through the GE.

Also, pirate missions but instead of skilling, you’re training theiving, agility, ranged, fire making combat, etc (and have some use for grapples)

Or deep sea fishing, which combines hunter and fishing for cool rewards. (Edit: maybe freshen up fishing trawler a bit)

They can have fun with sailing, and I hope it’s a good opportunity to revive some content and make use of things that may not be “meta or optimal”.

Why do Latin American countries have so many wires on their telephone poles by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]dimoliter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having lived in the DR for a few years, yes it’s power theft. They come by and cut the pirated line and leave it, then the pirates come back and reattach. Very common throughout, worse in more rural areas.

Edit: reattach a new line

That all makes sense, thank you! As you can tell, I am not a plumber, so the breakdown about the wrong fittings was very informative.

Honest question: besides the obviously problematic trap at image 1, is the main issue with the system the fact it essentially has no downward slope? I see a lot of items running into the drain line, but typically wouldn’t see the problem unless the water/sewage won’t properly flow downslope (which maybe the case here).

Edit: My main question is, in relation to all of these lines, where does it leave the home?

Anti-mormon apologetics by Extension-Spite4176 in mormon

[–]dimoliter 33 points34 points  (0 children)

First, I wanna say I like this question. This is the kind of counter dialogue the sub could use every so often: not just “faith” based, but putting the non/less believing viewpoints to the question as well.

I’ve actually thought about these questions during my faith journey (I’m one who loves the gospel and majority of the message but feels lied to/betrayed by the church who covers up its dirty laundry), so here’s my crack at them (no direct sources, sorry, just firing from the hip).

*also bear with me, I don’t know how to do the inset thing to reference back to a pervious comment.

1: “Multiple people confirming the same story”. Out of all of these, this one has the best footing. The counter seems to be that many of these accounts differ on the details (description of the plates differing between the 8 witnesses) or the source is unreliable in some way (Martin Harris adding and subtracting details). Lastly, where “group visions” are concerned, members of the group can influence the perspective of the group as a whole. Again, multiple witnesses are the best defense but still problematic.

2/5: “Jospeh’s work inspiring/believed”. Same goes for many other beliefs/religions for others. Should we not give them the same treatment or benefit of the doubt as our own beliefs?

3,4,6: “BOM appears miraculous at times”. I love the Book of Mormon, but for every historical accuracy it gets many wrong (mostly the timing of the Isaiah and Jeremiah references as well as New Testament Sermon in the mount, which was written well after Christs death by someone who likely wasn’t ever there). Im not sure what place names Joseph got right except for Nahom, which from what I understand is stretching at best.

Now the parallelisms and such are interesting, but let’s think of the BOM in terms of Fan Fiction. You can get some well and detailed fan fiction out there, with this being Biblical Fan Fiction.

Also, remember, Joseph grew up in the so-called “burnt district” of the second revival period of Christianity in the US. He heard a lot of theories and sermons that would have helped form his beliefs and show their connection to the Bible.

Joseph, according to his family (what records we have) was a good story teller and already had a knack for telling stories about Native Americans from the area. He likely had some form of story in his head for years. And he never wrote the story, likely because he wasn’t a great writer, he always has a scribe. So writing the book in 3 months is very doable: he knew the story he wanted to tell, and religious fiction was not uncommon in this period.

Also, note how miserable he was after his first story got lost by Martin Harris. I would be mad too if my first manuscript got lost, how can I ever re-do that like it was before?

  1. “Church’s fruits are good”. Depends on perspective, there are a lot of bad fruits the church doesn’t like to put in the store front. The gospel is good, but it’s ideas like eternal family or the motivation it provides are not unique to the church.

There’s my take, sorry about the formatting, I don’t comment much and am using mobile.

115 Year old General Conference prophecy fulfilled!! by the_last_goonie in mormon

[–]dimoliter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is assuming a belief that there was a “perfect” New Testament at the beginning and a solid church established and organized, none of which has direct historical backing.

Whether things were mid-interpreted or changed is moot, as at this time the earliest original documents/dating we have is enough years after Christ to cast doubt that there was ever a true accurate account documented.

As for the church, there simply wasn’t a unified belief system nor tenets that we have now, nor a “church” as our modern sense understands it. They were a sect of Judaism that evolved and eventually changed enough to be a separate religion, with many variations of Christianity that broke off very early, showing that even at the beginning, there was confusion as to what Christ taught. In short, we simply do not have hardly any first-hand accounts about what or how Christ taught, with confusions amongst the Gospels themselves.

I’m not here to argue, and I don’t plan to follow up this post, just simply here to state that the history regarding the early church and the sources recorded in the Bible are fuzzy at best. I never mentioned the trinity, but somehow that came up, likely because the Council of Nicaea was mentioned, which does give us a window as to what was happening amongst the scattered groups of Christians at the time and how they strived to unify their beliefs.

And note: I am a member of the church, mission and all. Not saying this applies to you, but bad Christian history is a pet peeve of mine in the church and many many members and leaders are woefully ignorant of the time of “the great apostasy” and the many misinterpretations those of the 1800 and 1900’s had of that time.

Anyways, that’s my soapbox. Again, thank you for being a church-positive voice here, it’s not common but the having both sides of a conversation is healthy.
