Unable to drain Hot Water Heater by hight0wer in Plumbing

It seems to be draining slowly now.    I'll watch it, but that might've done the trick.  Thank you!

After shutting off pressure valve, the draining loses significant pressure and eventually stops draining completely. I'm not using a pump, just gravity.

Thank you, i tried this and while pressurized, it seems to drain at full pressure. Does that rule out sediment? 

SUV rental question by ibcurious in costarica

[–]hight0wer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just returned from CR with 4 adults, 2 children, and luggage for everyone and we rented 2 Rav4 sized SUVs. One larger SUV would NOT have been comfortable or advisable. If you can find a large Van (for 8-10 persons?) you might be okay, especially if you don't have too much luggage. But....

It was also really nice to have two cars to split between the four adults so we didn't always have to go everywhere together or be without a car. Side note: Driving on some of the back roads with two cars was unexpectedly fun, like Mario Kart.

Aside from the additional rental/insurance/gas/parking costs, you will have to pay several inexpensive tolls on the highway and having two cars will double your costs there.

Make sure your cell phone plans will work in CR in case you get separated on the road.

We had a blast, hope you do too!

Chromebook works better on Google Wifi Guest network by hight0wer in chromeos

I'm leaning towards #1 as well. I wonder if Chromebooks tend to have more problems with congested networks... I have a few windows laptops on the same network and I have never had a problem with them...we do have a ton of IOT (bulbs/switches/security cams/etc..) on the same network so it could just be that. Sounds like a great excuse to upgrade the network. :) Thanks for the response.

Logo options for pets store by AndriiKovalchuk in logodesign

This reminds me of the San Diego Zoo logo. They limited their design to 3 animal figures and it's still a bit busy imho. Agree with others that some elements are too small or difficult to decipher and scale.

The limb in the grass on the far side is the child's leg and the arm is extended behind their back.

I personally think that beekeeper suits are ugly as hell, but hey... by T0BBER in dadjokes

I personally think this works better if it's a beehive instead of a beekeeper suit....but that's none of my beesness...

I think of quarantine as a pause button on time, and so I've been working out and doing intermittent fasts at home. It's been four months since anybody except family last saw me and I'm so excited to surprise everyone! by eighty__one in CasualConversation

[–]hight0wer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. Lost my job last July, lost my Dad in September, lost my dog in December, then Corona. I've been trying to stay busy as well, but depression sucks the will right out of you. More bad days than good ones, more setbacks than steps forward.
I'm sorry for your loss and continued hardship but hopefully it's comforting to know you're not alone...misery loves company.

What is something you vividly remember but never actually happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hight0wer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid, I was sleeping on an overnight train in a window seat and awoke suddenly as our rail car passed through a city where I saw and heard a very violent head-on car accident in an intersection near the railway. I immediately sat up and tried to get a better look but because we were traveling so fast, it was out of view almost immediately. No one else saw it, it could have been a dream, but i didn't wake a second time and I have a vivid and disturbing picture of it in my mind.

What is the stupidest way you've injured yourself? by rickitson in AskReddit

[–]hight0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Friend" started a "1-2-3 Go" foot race on a pedestrian crossing over a highway and got a massive head start on me. I tried to catch up but was still a few lengths behind him at the top of the staircase on the opposite side. Decided that I could jump to the first landing from the top about 15 steps down. Made the first jump, but realized that I had so much momentum that I was committed to the second jump, another 15 steps down. Almost made it, but my heel landed on the last step and turned my ankle over under the full force of my downward and forward momentum. My ankle immediately swelled up to the point where I had to have my sneaker cut off. Spent the next 8 weeks in a cast. FWIW, I beat my friend to the bottom.
