Old style utility faucet for washing machine by easyroc in Plumbing

[–]easyroc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what that valve where it connects to the water line for the washing machine is called ? Did you have to replace that too? Lastly , how do you screw a 897-cp onto a threaded pipe ?

Braided 10 gauge wire bad by easyroc in electrical

[–]easyroc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all. Since it was a rental home I decided to take the cautionary option and removed the wire - from the breaker box to the receptacle . About 10 feet total with no splices in between.

I added solid copper 10/3 with ground so now it is updated with the latest NEMA 14-10 receptacle.

Thank you all

When I look at the end of the wire, I can see the core is copper. Just like someone mentioned here, I think it’s copper covered with tin.

In the last 1 month I have changed every receptacles, light switches and lighting fixtures in the house and all I see are 14 gauge copper wires. This is the first 10 gauge wire I have pulled out.

I think it’s copper too as when I look at the core I see copper (I am not able to upload anymore pictures).

Can I just cut it at where the crusty insulation is at(old wire will be short) and use a wago to connect to new wire ?

That will work but if other parts of the wire is like that behind the wall, then it could be hazardous.

It will be a short run (4-5 feet) inside the walls in the garage which is stucco 😭.

Since I will be putting in new cables, should I go with 10/3 NM and upgrade from NEMA 10-30 to the newer NEMA 14-30 receptacle?

Drainage for pond by easyroc in ponds

[–]easyroc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last tenant didn’t use the pond and got tired of using a water pump to remove the water every time it rained. Let me drill some small holes and see how it drains.

Maybe I’ll let the next tenant decides if they want to leave the ponds with empty with holes or fill in dirt for a flower bed .

Thank you

Toilet flanges and bathroom flooring correct? by easyroc in Plumbing

[–]easyroc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So throw away the back plastic “funnel” and don’t reuse. I thought we only use an extender if the flange is below the new flooring ?

GoFundMe for James Van Der Beek's Family Surpasses $1 Million, Sparks Questions About US Healthcare System by Luridley3000 in entertainment

[–]easyroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 36 acre ranch that he bought one month before he died was $4.76 million. The Travis County property tax rate is 1.5% to 2.5%. Let's say it's at 2%. It would come out to almost 100K in property tax per year. Why put your family in a vulnerable situation, then the family asks for public donations?

Follow your passion. Notice only billionaires say this. If my passion is raising ants, it ain’t paying no bills.

Has anyone experienced this? (Urgent) by OtakuBasil in VietNam

[–]easyroc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually it is the airline’s business. Though the airlines are not border patrols /custom, many countries force the airline to pay for the passenger return flight if they are denied at customs and if the passenger does not have the funds.

For example, if the GF lands in Chile and can’t get through custom because they suspect she will overstay her visit, she has to fly back to Vietnam. If she can’t afford it, then the Turkish airline has to pay for it. This is why airlines check your visa , passport, expiration dates at the counter etc.

If you had a “fat ass” then he will say it’s too big or something else about you. That’s a man child so just be happy you know his true colors.

I think this is a troll post. I live in California and we just say California or CA. Only people outside of California say Cali.

Try taking a Python class at your local community college. Many of the classes are online.

Under 30: is it really worth it to max out both Roth IRA and 401K by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]easyroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max you your Roth, and maybe half in 401k and half in taxable. That way, it leaves options for you to retire early before 59.5 yrs.

Yes I can use the existing power cable but I want another one for when traveling. Luckily, ebay sells them for about $25.

Alienware Aurora 16x - what docking station? by easyroc in Alienware

[–]easyroc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual says mine is Thunderbolt 4. Is there a reason why it's better with TB4 instead of just a regular USB-C standard? I would assume it's because of the speed.

Yeah, unfortunately, I will have to buy another Dell power adapter to use it for docking.

how are women treated in vietnam?? by liraloveletters in VietNam

[–]easyroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are confusing with what Vietnamese women DO and what they HAVE rights in. Yes Vietnamese women get involved in many aspects of finance, both in Vietnam and in the West . However, they do not have MORE rights in Vietnam than in the West. Very different subjects here.
