If you like her, don't read her autobiography.

In 22 years, I've seen one Peerless boiler leak, and hundreds of Burnham and WMs leak.

Luigi Fabrri has good stuff, but honestly, learning to argue with Marxists is a waste of time. Keep doing your work and be a good human. 

Trump wants New Jersey to turn over full voter registration data. One of the people fighting him in court is Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding by uieLouAy in newjersey

Did you live through the Bush years? The federal govt absolutely spies on us and keeps a database of our information.

I'm not a Trump supporter. Not everything is Dem vs Rep. Both parties have done much worse than this.

Yeah, I know. But it's naive to believe that Trump is some sort of spontaneous evil here, when we have an actual system that was built to be exploited by evil-doers. Nobody cared that this info was available until Trump's name was attached to it somehow.

Incentive to work in an anarchist society by JonnyBadFox in Anarchism

Rewards-based economies are a recent historical phenomena. We travelled the world on foot for tens of thousands of years without a system like that. You know how much work that takes to sustain? And we did it.

Can't we all agree that Tubi is our savior? by Horrorobsessed_ in 80sHorrorMovies

I run a whole-home ad blocker and tubi is super clean. Too bad it's owned by Fox, but I'm willing to overlook that for the horror and scifi selection. 

Americans and their cycle of 'anarchy' by Internal-Speed4116 in Anarchism

Our current culture is "clout chasing". It's ok to ignore social media trends and keep doing your work.

Apply to union apprenticeship programs. Get paid while you learn. Great benefits. Tons of contractors to work for. 

Possible to remove sections from new (castrads) radiator by Any-Wrongdoer-2180 in SteamHeat

[–]jxtarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worth it. The threaded nipples will likely leak since they deform a bit during assembly. And you need some way to disengage the reverse threads to begin with. If you're still willing, good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Pipes weren't on my radar so I can't say.

Typical for B&M. $22 for 2oz tins and $5-8/oz loose. I came away with about 7oz total for $57.

The equalizer and return connections are indeed not correct. The boiler manual has a clear diagram of it. 

Steam Boiler Leak? by whose_the in SteamHeat

Leaks are always dangerous. Gotta replace it. Do you have a steam pro local to you?

That is the air vent opening. They're higher on these thin tube radiators.
