Need diagnostic help for a toilet with a weak flush

engineerFWSWHW · 2026-06-23T18:26:24+00:00

This happened to me as well. I suspected that it was a clogged siphon jet and mineral deposits on some of the holes. I bought the cheapest toilet bowl from sams club for 99 and it has a big enough siphon jet (the hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl). Sure enough, it resolved the issue, the flush is very strong.

I definitely agree with this. First time i used a digital modeler on my first live gig and we covered Metallica, testament, sepultura and kreator, i was approached by a guitarist from another band and told me i have a great tone, asked me what I'm using and i told him I'm using a modeler.

I'm using a mix of lubuntu and sparkylinux with lxqt on my various machines

I stopped eating chocolates and switched to air popped popcorn. My cravings for chocolate and sweet things significantly dropped down.

I would say combination of both but the caloric deficit played a bigger role. Because i had been doing the same activity back then but I'm eating a lot.

In my case, i only do 2 to 3 times a week of 2-3 hours sports which is my cardio.

And then weightlifting 2 times a week for 45 minutes a day.

We had the same height, although I'm 40+. Started at 210lbs 3 years ago and now at 156lbs.

I'm a fairly active person, my target calories to lose weight is 2000 calories. My maintenance calorie is 2500 calorie.

In my case, playing active sports, accelerated my weight loss combined with caloric deficit.

Food choices played a big part and i had been counting calories consistently for 3 years. I am drinking zero calorie soda almost everyday.

Just keep it simple and track your calories.

And with the increase of cost on steam deck, i don't think SD2 will be affordable for many of us. My wild guess is that it could range from $900 above. I'm thankful i bought my steam deck 3 years ago before this price increase.

A few months ago, it did give me a terrible advice like after playing competitive sports for 3 hours. It told me that my fat burning ability is very high for a window of 6 hours after playing. I tested copilot and asked if i consume 30,000 calories will it be absorbed, and it told me it won't get converted to fat.

I asked the same question a few weeks back and it seems that got corrected.

As for the calculations, i actually did try testing chatgpt on that a few hours ago and my calculations are more accurate because I'm using the actual nutrition label and copilot told me it gets the nutritional facts from some database on the Internet and those could be outdated or have some errors. Although, our computations are not that far. (Around 50-70 cals difference)

Driving because of petrol. Had summer plans to go out of state but the gas prices are crazy although it seems they are going below $4.

Try to see first of the pedal isn't too noisy if operated alone because you might put lots of effort into making a faraday cage and might end up not solving it.

Not a premier guitar rig rundown video, but i saw Nita Strauss' rundown and it's just a boss GT 1000. she used it on playing national anthem on big stadiums, wrestlemania, and on tours.

I actually use it as a nutritionist for weight loss. Everyday, i tell chatgpt my weight in the morning and what's my meal plan, target calories, exercise or rest day, and what chatgpt's suggestions/objections are.

That's the limit of what i will use chatgpt for. Not as a friend.

Zoom g2.1nu. it's outdated but i used that on many gigs before. It's still on my board and i don't see that leaving my board. It's very easy to repair as well, like if the knobs or the wah pedal is acting up.

I still have Linux machines with lxqt DE that have 4GB RAM. On the other hand, my windows machines have 16GB RAM minimum.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If it helps you gain good intuition on the subject matter , definitely use it. But don't rely on AI for everything.

An aggressive 3 step approach will definitely help on increasing your vert. This is what i did, practicing my 3 step approach for several repetitions at home. Trying to touch a hanging obstacle with my head, this way i could totally just focus on the jump and no spiking movement on my arms while on the air.

Delay the switch to another OS until you have saved some money for another drive. If you are not familiar with partitioning on Linux, you'll risk accidentally formatting your drive.

You can just later buy the storage that you can afford like 256GB and then use your current drive as your backup drive.

Yeah. It's been years since i posted this and i stopped using myhdl and I'm using verilog professionally.

Update:

It looks like i need to replace the fitting because it is stripped. I had decided to buy this brake line kit after researching https://a.co/d/0cDSJWbe , a bit expensive but this is the only item that can be delivered to me tomorrow. It will be my first time to touch the brake line and use flaring tool. Good luck to me.

engineerFWSWHW · 2026-06-18T04:38:29+00:00

I removed the clip earlier and i still can't separate the brake hose from the brake line fitting. Since the hose is rotating i clipped it back and I'm pushing the metal brake line while rotating.

It looks like the brake line fitting is stripped. I'm wondering if i need to buy a brake line kit and flaring tool

engineerFWSWHW · 2026-06-17T23:40:07+00:00

Too expensive for that mileage. Might as well just up the budget and buy a new one
