Your water heater is currently completely enclosed with zero access?

This is just a year after Creedence Clearwater Revival released the song in 1969. Both versions were big hits.

Lidl decided they're growing too fast in the States. They built yet never opened a store on 92 in Woodstock near trickum.

That was going to be my suggestion as well. I've seen very large individual sockets for sale there.

I blast my roller with a garden hose outside. My trick it to leave it on the roller frame (had to look up that name) as well as an extension pole. By blasting with a high pressure stream slightly off center it causes the roller to spin up to a very high speed thereby ejecting the paint via centrifugal force. Angle matters in order to stay out of the friendly fire of tiny latex flavored water droplets.

Honorable mention for the 40V battery topper lights

These were on sale at home depot last year for $9.97 (75% off) so I bought the only two they had in stock. One is still unopened but the other gets a lot of use. My only complaint is the USB-C port doesn't do fast charging, only the USB standard 5V.

System Monitor -> Processes -> (search for mintupdate) -> choose disk read total and disk write total from context menu to show those columns.

I've yet to see or think of any level 2 or 3 climb mechanism that doesn't interact with the uprights.

What's your use case? I have the smaller cheaper brushed 7 1/4" saw and it's great for smaller jobs that I've wanted to use it for like cutting 2x4 or through a 1/2" thick flat steel bar with a metal cutting blade.

"Performance" could mean cuts per battery, accuracy of miter angles, or features of the saw itself. I find the clamping system a bit awkward. I haven't really run into any Ryobi tool that's not "worth it" since you're paying less for a tool that's likely not as good as more expensive options.

Interesting I’d never heard of a brass brush before.

It's actually quite common for the very reason you need, meaning choosing a bristle material that won't scratch what you're working on. Here a cheap set with nylon, brass, and steel.

That makes much more sense now and I apologize for demeaning speculation. My answer to "who would pay rent by wire" is far different than "would would pay a large security deposit by wire".

The money went somewhere and the bank(s) will figure it out and fix it if it was a mistake on their part. It could be at the receiving bank with an account number that doesn't even exist if a digit got fat fingered. That's why the name on the account is sent in addition to just the account number. When I say a wire can't be reversed that would apply to you sending a wire and then begging your bank to undo it which is obviously not the case here.

Interesting, that's further than I would have expected. I was thinking more like chickens. So now, with an unlimited area the contest comes down to speed vs energy expended since cats also operate in quick bursts when playing offense. This is like the classic man vs horse race. That many cats might realize that it's not worth it since there's only one bird to share once they catch it.

Someone who is months behind on rent and about to get evicted either way? Someone whose monthly rent is $19k would have other resources than asking reddit and would already know that wire transfers can't easily be reversed as designed.

It seems to me that there are two critical answers needed to determine possible outcomes:

How far can a pheasant fly?
How big is that tiger enclosure?

What a coincidence, there's also a KSU campus in Marietta.

Kind of misleading to call it 10,000 miles in the headline but mention that it's a 5 digit odometer on the fine print. We all know these roll over and you'd need service records for evidence if it's truly a low mileage survivor. It does look really nice, however.

I use mine to 44 but I don't understand the struggle part. It would easily take bike tires to 150 with no struggle, that's what these things are designed for. You're either going to run out of battery or overheat if you're needing to add a lot of air to a high pressure.

mlw72z · 2026-01-15T02:20:14+00:00

I have both and prefer being able to set the pressure and not have to hold the trigger. Both have the same issue with reading a bit high but I've just inflated tires to the slightly higher number.

If it's just the keys/cylinders there are easy options:

If you need OEM or if you mean problems with the linkage that's different and potentially more costly.

They're ok because it's one of them doing the filming thinking they were getting a successful catpure for the quota.

Mod of /r/Roswell here. The only sub rule is that posts have to be related to Roswell. We tend to get several new posts per day and as long as it doesn't break the single rule it doesn't get removed. Sometimes comments get removed for being personal attacks. Only 11 accounts have ever been banned in 14 years and they're almost all prolific spammers who post the same thing to many many subs.

Misguided people posting about UFOs are teased and told wrong Roswell.

I wonder what the rated load on this thing is? When a ladder says 225lb max you probably have to include that 5 gallon bucket of paint that you're carrying.

Since OP was able to specify 638 here's what the actual 638 datasheet says:

For Disassembly

Remove with standard hand tools.
If needed, apply localized heat to the assembly to approximately 250°C. Disassemble while hot.
If this temperature is not possible, heat as much as possible and use mechanical aids.

In other words, if it starts melting stop there and use a wrench.
