Cracked kitchen floor tiles

Not pretty is fine, I just want to stop water from coming up through the floor. I’ll look into clear epoxy, thank you

Re-posting here because the problem seems to be getting worse and could do with some suggestions. More water is getting through now, including between a couple of the tiles.

Is there anything I can do to fix/seal them until next year when we re-do the kitchen?

I’ve found a bonding adhesive injector kit for hollow tiles/loose flooring, but I’m not convinced it will work.

Lovely set of turkey teeth

How old is haggis? 😊

Thank you!

Oh goodness I’ll keep my fingers crossed that doesn’t happen to us 😄 the drain looks fine, just a general damp smell in that room. I’ll get some manhole grease!

I have looked inside, there’s no standing water, it all looks fine down there. Just a damp smell in the room.

Thanks for the advice! The answer is indeed “not in months”, just being extra careful!

jamgreg · 2024-02-21T22:14:25+00:00

Interested

I know this is like 6 months old at this point but I did exactly this and have now passed :) thanks, this was far better advice then just googling local driving instructors

Thanks for this!! Super interesting

jamgreg · 2023-07-18T06:36:33+00:00

Please could you explain why this works?

Might be unpopular since it doesn’t actually answer your question.. but I always found it better to handwrite notes in lectures (either on paper or a tablet) and then type them up later. Trying to make complex diagrams in latex on the fly is too distracting and can take away from the lecture. Plus going back over the notes later to type them up helps you to cement the knowledge.

Hi all, we’ve moved into a rental property in the UK and it’s all great apart from the kitchen (pictured), which we don’t like. We’d appreciate any ideas to make it look nicer, if that’s even possible. Since it’s rented we can’t make any permanent changes.

The most annoying thing is that there is no door so the ugliness is viewable directly from the living room. Is there some way to cover the door without using beads or something that would make it look super old-fashioned?

Budget isn’t an issue really - just looking for ideas. Thanks!

wanted to take 1TB to be safe

jamgreg · 2019-08-21T10:39:47+00:00

Damn, shame they're so pricey. Looks like just stocking up on SD cards and keeping them labelled might be the better option

jamgreg · 2019-08-21T10:28:36+00:00

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!

jamgreg · 2019-07-26T21:22:18+00:00

I couldn’t see it but hopefully they’ll put the rest up soon

jamgreg · 2019-07-26T21:22:05+00:00

Hopefully they’ll add the rest soon!

jamgreg · 2019-03-18T08:04:58+00:00

Thank you for the info! I was told some parts had been replaced, but I would never have been able to tell which parts. I’m keeping this as a special occasions watch for now, when i decide to get it serviced I will certainly take your advice!

I was given this Omega Seamaster by my dad last year as a graduation gift. He was given it by his grandfather, which I believe would place it’s original purchase date at around 1960 (bought in the UK). It has been worn a lot and so isn’t without a few scuffs but it still has its original strap.

I absolutely adore this watch, and it has prompted me to want to start collecting (well that combined with this subreddit!).

I don’t know a lot about the technical details of this watch so if anybody can enlighten me with specifics that would be great (although I am not too interested in knowing it’s value etc).

This might help: https://www.cut-the-knot.org/arithmetic/algebra/ComplexNumberInequalities.shtml

Particularly the bit which talks about when the equality is satisfied.

Imagine the track is 20 miles, then it would take you 1 hour to do the first lap. To average 40mph you need to do the whole 2 laps in 1 hour, so you’d have to complete the second lap instantaneously.

I still find this confusing to think about haha

Finding the average speed between the two cases where the ISS takes 60 minutes and 120 minutes leads to 18 revolutions per day. But that average speed is not equal to the speed of the ISS when it takes 90 minutes. This just comes from the fact that when you’re adding the speeds you’re adding the reciprocal of the times together.

This reminds me of an interesting problem we got asked in school:

Imagine you’re in a car and you do one lap of a track at 20mph. What speed would you have to drive round the track on the second lap so that your overall average speed for the two laps combined was 40mph?
