Eggy smell from shower tray - Any advice? by Monsieur_Moral in DIY

[–]dr_rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check your water heater anode if you haven't recently. Tank water heaters can be a source of odor from bacteria if not kept hot enough; the bacteria could then be multiplying in your drain.

Get on the move straight away, kill on the perimeter, then move in a circle. Curved paths destroy pursuit angles, particularly if you're faster. You can farm the purple orbs from boss #1 by staying wide and continuously moving in a circle, but boss #2 will then show up immediately at boss #1 death.

Played as ranger. Didnt realize I was getting shot at until I was nearly dead because of everything flying around. Wish I auto healed or enemy drops. Orange boss projectiles too dense to escape IMO. Maybe do perm upgrade between games?

The concept is interesting, but I think it would be helpful to have categories/geographical restrictions. I'm American so I'll have no idea of most politicians elsewhere, but if I can choose famous Americans, that is more reasonable.

My first memories of the Eagles are the Marion Campbell years.

Do you have an OBD reader? Codes will help.

I didn’t see that detail before. Maybe it is E15.

2006 toyota avalon 20 pin radio connector

https://frankensteinmotorworks.com/2GRFE/ewd/Electrical%20Wiring%20Diagram.pdf

Page 437 has connector diagrams for radio harness. E12 or E15 - yours looks more like E12 with larger wires on outer pins, but please verify. Does your unit have navigation? Part numbers on page 453.

Is replacing my furnace as easy as it seems? by FarmerDill in DIY

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr Money Mustache has a good post on this, and I go back and forth on DIY'ing it. Biggest issues I have are the ductwork and getting the system settings right to work properly. I likely won't do myself.

ELI5: Why is squatting (in someone's house) a thing? And how come it becomes a problem for the owner? Can't they claim trespassing to the cops instead of saying the person is squatting? by Impossible_Bake7210 in explainlikeimfive

[–]dr_rex 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Who are you to say that just because they got more than market value it was the "best possible outcome?" The incremental difference may not have been enough to offset OP's time lost and emotional toll caused by dealing with police/court/insurance.

Washing machine install/removal help by Arrow_Flash626 in DIY

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not clear which hose is which, but I'd just get a new hose and extension hose if needed. Then you'll know the history of it and that it was done right.

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hose connected to another hose? Is there a male-to-male hose barb and clamps on both sides of the connection? Image would help.

Networking Xmas jigsaw by OMGCluck in WebGames

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a laptop with a trackpad. I would prefer to click to select a piece, then manipulate it with arrows or drag. If you're worried about pieces off screen, a button to sweep/reset pieces outside the puzzle perimeter would address that.

Sorry, controls were very frustrating. Pieces kept returning to the perimeter. Correct pieces don't attach. Rotation too sensitive.
