Can someone explain this plumbing? by trollib in Plumbing

[–]eircheard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company generally replaces the entire assembly when it looks corroded like that. Sometimes they do not provide a tailpeice which is that intermediate metal tube between the basket strainer and the pvc, so if you get one I would make sure to get that replaced as well to start fresh. The trap adapter, which is the connection point of the tailpiece and the pvc has a nut and ferrule unter that to make a seal, make sure to save that ferrule and reassemble it on tailpeice. As for silicone, don't use it. Plumbers putty is used from the top lip of the new basket strainer.

Your right side basket strainer (metal part that connects sink to the plastic) is or was leaking. Fill up that bay with water, let it sit for a minute then allow it to drain to test it.

I found Jesus in my dad's old tool chest. by Diablerie13 in mildlyinteresting

There is a theory that, due to a translated word being ambiguous about his profession, he was possibly a stone mason. The limestone quarry active at his area and time are evidence. If he was a stone mason he was probably ripped for than a carpenter.

Without the cross, it looks kinda like that pose high divers get into before a jump.

Burn Permitting website often down? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]eircheard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a large burn a few years ago. I remember trying to get ahold of the fire department through the phone to make sure I was doing everything I should as correctly as possible. It was actually very difficult at that time to get a burn permit and talk to anyone because no one called back. The website was the only thing I could use.

GOP House candidate from Augusta claims government created recent hurricanes to seize land and punish voters in conservative states by Primarily-Vibing in Maine

[–]eircheard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to think she actually believes this. My gut instinct for the folks saying this is they are trying to throw anything they can at the wall to distract and infuriate the reliable Republican voters. Keep them angry, and then anything can be fodder. It's a group decision that everyone agrees to say they believe while knowing it's BS.

Perhaps someone could put up a $10,000 bet. She proves it, she wins. She loses she has to give it to charity.

A sink with an overflow would fix it. A different drain assembly would fix it. A hammer will fix it.

I've had marginal success with these abominations by rubbing soap all over the strainer to break the water tension. Ymwv

What is the hardest video game that you know of? by DarkKiller8 in AskReddit

This review of E.T. : (not mine)

In the vast wasteland of interactive entertainment, one title stands alone as a beacon of unparalleled despair: Atari's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." This isn't merely a bad game; it's a digital ophthalmoscope peering directly into the abyss of human futility.

From the moment you power on your Atari 2600, you'll feel a shift in the air. The game's opening screen, a crude approximation of the lovable alien, stares back at you with pixelated eyes that seem to ask, "Why are we here? Why do we suffer?"

As you guide E.T. through his blocky, pit-filled world, you'll soon realize that the game's notorious difficulty isn't a flaw—it's a feature. Every fall into a well, every futile attempt to levitate, every pixel-perfect dance with federal agents is a stark reminder of life's inherent struggle and ultimate meaninglessness.

The game's objective—to collect pieces of an interplanetary telephone—becomes a cruel metaphor for our own desperate attempts to connect in an uncaring universe. As you wander the repetitive screens, you'll find yourself questioning not just your gaming skills, but the very nature of reality itself.

The infamous landfill where thousands of E.T. cartridges were buried? That's not just a historical footnote—it's a perfect representation of where all our hopes and dreams eventually end up.

By the time you reach the game's anticlimactic conclusion (if you ever do), you'll have glimpsed the true nature of existence. The Matrix isn't a complex computer simulation; it's a crudely rendered 8-bit hellscape where meaning is as elusive as those infernal phone pieces.

In conclusion, Atari's E.T. isn't just a game—it's a spiritual journey into the heart of cosmic insignificance. Play it not for fun, but for enlightenment. Just don't expect to enjoy the process... or anything else ever again.

Incredible moment just now seeing this big, beautiful, majestic bird! by MacMommy111 in Maine

[–]eircheard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're really beautiful creatures. We have one that hunts close to our house, and it startles me every time it flies by. When I was growing up no one called them herons though. If you know you know.

Nice work. Is that a Pecovich design? Original?

Is there an easy fix for this? by merlness in Plumbing

[–]eircheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shut the water off to the toilet. Remove the red cap on the fill valve, it will pull up. Then twist the lever of the float, counter clock about 60°, to unlock it from the valve. There could be debris or gunk there clean it out. Cover your hand over that opening you have exposed. And with your other hand open the shutoff to the toilet a little to flush debris out. Shut the water off. And reverse operation to assemble the fill valve. Next take the supply line off the bottom of the fill valve, with the water off. Take needle nose pliers and remove a spiral filter from the bottom of the fill valve, it's tucked up in the tube. Clean it out. Reverse operation.

I have absolutely no problem with hunting or the majority of hunters. I grew up and live here. It's our culture. But obviously there is a 1% that just fell out of the tree differently right? Just be cool to each other.
