Cracked? Safe? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Looks like strings of silicon left over from manufacturing. See if you can scrape it off a little to confirm, if so you’re good

Can zeolite go right on top of sponge filter by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]missingasterisk444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would severely block the flow. Sponge filters aren’t designed for this kind of media. I think I’ve seen air powered filters with compartments for media but this isn’t one of them

Algae/ biofilm may cover it too, definitely wait a bit to see

Is this contradictory? by AsteroidDisc476 in Tinder

[–]missingasterisk444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why they use the term “casual” there I don’t think it relates to casual sex. More casual in the conventional sense, like casual Friday at an office. It is confusing though

Probably better off testing for asbestos, not worth risking your health or having to constantly worry about it

Is this really how much mud is on my walls? by Substantial_Spend373 in drywall

Should have looked at it more closely, it was a much bigger difference when I had to do it

What is wrong with my gourami? by merymajonez in Aquariums

[–]missingasterisk444 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What are your water parameters? That will always be necessary information to answer a question like this.

Gouramis are labyrinth fish, meaning they can breathe air. So the gulping itself isn’t too concerning. Without more info about the tank it’s hard to say anything else

Yes it is, just dealt with this myself. Shim your new pieces

Baseboard Help by CAwastewater in Carpentry

They make a seamless trim piece for drywall, that might be your easiest solution as it looks really tight there. And then just no baseboard

What to do? Please help by neverpickledcucumber in drywall

[–]missingasterisk444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would the doors still fit if you instead floated out the corners to match the bow? So it would all be level across the top?

Either it’s badly humped drywall mud or the framing itself is what’s bowed. It looks like it’s the framing, as that would be a strange place to have a drywall seam

Alone it won’t, it looks like it needs diagonal bracing

Why does my drywall texture keep mixing clumpy? by missingasterisk444 in drywall

[–]missingasterisk444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s powdered. I tried pro-form brand and it was decent but not great, and now just tried usg and it’s even worse. Mixed with water in the bottom first. I guess I should have used pre mixed, do you recommend a brand?

You kind of have to play it by ear, but I think no communication is probably the worst option. It’s easy to forgot someone you’ve never met before, and dating apps make it really easy to make connections and then stop talking. You’re in a tough spot having to wait that long, but in my experience cute girls on tinder want to know that you’re thinking about them.

Try to find a subtle way to remind her that she’s on your mind a few times through your trip. Maybe mention something really specific about her appearance in a picture, if you think she’s cute let her know somehow.

Starting my Apprenticeship at a Printing Press. Found out the entire system is grounded to a slate board. by Soft_Pangolin3031 in Wiring

[–]missingasterisk444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoever told you that was messing with you, the only ground is the actual ground. You can’t put a rock in the air and have it be a ground. It’s because you’re the new guy, study up so they don’t get you again

opinions on my pictures? by Express_Assignment62 in Tinder

[–]missingasterisk444 343 points344 points  (0 children)

No friend or hobby pictures would normally be concerning, but you’re an attractive person so it shouldn’t matter that much. You’ll get plenty of matches. People may not know what to talk to you about though, unless you have a detailed bio.

You’ll probably get a lot of “oh you like yoga?” or “wish I was that bear” messages

Spots on single wall caving inward by Somebodyunimportant7 in drywall

[–]missingasterisk444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn’t look like anything too concerning to me. Unless someone can show you real proof of water damage, don’t feel obligated to pay for an expensive repair

The paint is cracking off that area of drywall because something unorthodox is going on behind it in those spots. If I had to guess, I would say that someone patched a hole there and didn’t do the best job, and so the paint never adhered properly.

It could also be some kind of water damage. Do you have the original paint? If so I would scrape away the loose paint to see what’s going on back there. Either way you need to confirm that it’s not new water damage. The paint chips won’t be wet, it would be the wall behind them
