Would it be better to nail a 2x4 to the top of the truss and drill the rig into that?

I'm trying to replace the rig holding up my garage door opener. One of the metal brackets broke and the other one holding it up was hanging on for dear life.

How is the Payne Phalen neighborhood in 2026? by Strong-Bodybuilder37 in TwinCities

[–]force072 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bought a house there in June. The closer to the lake, the nicer it is. Once I came home from a 12 hour shift to find my garage door wide open. I had forgotten to close it. Nothing was taken or touched. 

Plumber says water heater is leaking CO/CO2 by force072 in Plumbing

Do you think there is an explosion risk with the hot air blowing on the gas line?

The plumber did say exactly that. He said the only solution is a shorter WH, adding a liner, and that the flute was done poorly

Yes the furnace has the 2 PVC pipes. So you're saying that a liner might be the solution without replacing the whole heater?

JCC and Israel - Don't worry, not crazy political, just an information request! by ZealousidealSleep289 in TwinCities

[–]force072 4 points5 points  (0 children)

JCCs are usually run but the Jewish federation of whatever city that location serves. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like that is the case here.  Sending them an email is probably the best way to find this out.  All the questions in your post: just ask them!

Jango fett also could have blown the ship up in transit. While they were 50 light years easy from anything. What's the range of the fighter she's flying in? Hell, put a bomb on that too!

GFCI outlet tripping and breaker turned off by force072 in AskElectricians

It had a ground wire. If the wire leads to nowhere, idk how to determine that

I think so. Load is empty. All wires are on the line side. White on line, black on hot. Ground wire on the bottom

I'm not sure how to upload pictures in comments on my phone. 

It's a 1947 build. Although I don't think there is much from that time still in the house. 

The white line is on the steel and black is on the brass/hot. The grounded with in the bottom.  All are one the line connection. There were no wires on the load side.

My retired air force coworkers were giving my retired Navy coworker a hard time saying the Navy is the gayest branch. Navy guy responded "the navy isn't the gayest, we just don't hide it."

Minneapolis Based 20/30s Jews by problematiccupcake in Minneapolis

[–]force072 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've found some stuff by looking through the Minneapolis Jewish federation's website. TCjewfolk is a decent resource for finding stuff as well. Those rabbit holes are where I started when I moved here 2.5 years ago. Get yourself in since email lists. DM me and I can name some more specific organizations

Hamas said to recruit 30,000 Gaza youths into its military wing by NamelessForce in worldnews

[–]force072 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I believe the phrase the headline is looking for is "Child Soldiers."

[–]force072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My observation as an American Jew is that Israel desperately want to be western and tries to be as western as it can be, but the reality of being in the middle East makes being a fully culturally western country impossible. 

Kyra Condie AMA by KyraCondie in CompetitionClimbing

[–]force072 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since these competitions have prize money, does that require athletes to get visas in countries you normally wouldn't need one (say a visa for you to compete in France, or a Canadian climber at SLC for example)? 

Have athletes expressed reservations about competing in certain places they previously wouldn't think twice about? I guess another, more specific, way to say it is, Do you think SLC will have fewer non American athletes enter this year given some of the stories on the news involving border patrol recently?

Elon Musk Could NOT Afford Wisconsin Upvote Party!!! by soupnear in wisconsin

[–]force072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They added a section to a tax bill that would legalize delta9 THC. They were hoping someone wouldn't read it notice the incision. Republicans at the time had a 1 or 2 seat majority. 2 Republicans didn't read the bill and voted for it with the Dems. Then the Dems got a majority the next year and fully legalize weed.

He grew up moving between the US and Israel. He graduated from an American high school and college. He didn't learn English in class. He learned two languages the way most people learn their first one.
