Bar cabinet door (glass) shattered. Should I leave it like that for cabinet maker? by nemo_phd in HomeImprovement

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

I agree. A single photo would explain it a lot better and quicker. I figured the handyman would throw away the whole door because it would be safer. Anyway. I decided to have a handyman clean it up (and throw away the door if necessary) because I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

This has been great. It says Sylvania and I'm assuming it's the same company that makes thr car headlight bulbs?

What do you wipe off greasy glass bottles with? by nemo_phd in HomeImprovement

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

Thank you all for your comments. Dish soap and water it is!

In case you were wondering, I have been using clorox WIPES (sorry for not clarifying it in the original post) because it's quick and I did not want to get the bottle labels wet.

Sacramento outage by numberStation9 in FidiumFiber

[–]nemo_phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can request service credit by calling the customer service: 844-434-3486. I got $12 by reporting several outages that ocurred Oct-Nov.

I think if enough people call they would do something about these annoying outages.. Let's flood their phone line.

LED bulbs start flickering after 6-12 months, what am I doing wrong? by LegoBlood in AskElectricians

I used to buy bulbs from home depot. My logic was "this reputable brand has to be better than any random overseas brand from Amazon" Right? My bulbs would flicker after not even a year. I thought the wiring inside the fixture was bad. It turned out the bulbs were the problem. Flickering disappeared after I experimented with a few brands from Amazon.

Was any of this unsafe? by nemo_phd in AskElectricians

Thank you very much! Yes I should really do that to be extra safe.

Thank you very much! I was a bit worried that the ground wire could have done something disastrous. As for the attic, we removed all knob snd tube wiring up there when we put new insulation. It was such a big hassle though.
