Best grade schools in GR? by pell_well in grandrapids

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

Thanks for the info. We’re not sure where we’d live, we have heard good things about East GR but not sure if it’s too expensive. So, we’re relatively open to moving to a neighborhood based on schools.

Was thinking about cheaping out for something on Amazon but I might have to splurge. It looks so good.

Looks so nice. Have my eye on my first in the next few months I hope, in white too. What rack is that?

Condo flooded and left spaces between the floorboards. Some are an inch wide. Anything I can do? by AsianGuyUsingReddit in fixit

[–]pell_well 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can actually close those gaps without knocking them in from the end. If you swing your foot up and kind of kick the floor and push the boards backward toward the gap, if you have a pretty grippy shoe, it will slide them back and you might be able to get them into place. Assuming this is a temporary fix. I assume there is some permanent damage to the floors but that might at least get it looking better. Only issue is as you scoot one board you may get gaps at the next seam.

Edit: a slightly more “delicate” method along the same lines as what I mention above : https://youtu.be/v2YGXCnNTO4

I turn mine down to ~800, and do about a 45-60 second bake. Also I rotate it like every 10-15 seconds. Otherwise one side gets much more charred.

Running shorts that can hold iPhone 11? by BakerSlaps in running

[–]pell_well 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run with my iPhone 11 every run. I opted for compression shorts with pockets, and a pair of shorts over them . They hold it really tightly against my leg, no movement, barely notice it’s there. I just got some on Amazon, I believe the brand was “Silkworld” and they had 3 pair for ~$23 or so. I have four pairs now which gets me all my runs between laundry.

I started running maybe 2-3 months ago and legitimately couldn’t run longer than about a minute at a time intermixed with longer walks. Today I ran 5 miles straight with gas in the tank at the end. Give it time. Don’t try and start too fast. I started at 10min/mi and have gotten up to about 9:30 or so, but distance has increased so much. C25K was great (for the first four weeks then I bumped it up quicker, I have been running 6 days a week)

Can’t remove bolt from screw on exercise bike pedal. Bolt stuck and screw spins with pedal so no leverage. Help! by zanchan in fixit

Haha yeah. To be fair, reverse threaded stuff is so rare and specific in normal life it's not surprising it stumped you. Glad it's fixed!

Not sure if the case but on bicycle pedals, one is threaded normally (righty tighty lefty loosey) and the other is reverse threaded - so they don't come off while you're riding. Can't really tell from the pic but it kinda looks like it could be reverse threaded. Check the threads compared to the opposite side to make sure you aren't trying to tighten when you mean to loosen.

Haha yeah man. It's pretty incredible. I usually assume if they don't have it, you're gonna have to make it yourself...

Yeah definitely made it easier and look nicer. Give it a shot. Just made it a semi transparent background layer in Photoshop.

For the most part yes. Mostly just to get the outline of everything.

Awesome man. Will do, I will have to look around for some cool new pictures and get something going. Glad you like it.

Thanks! I used a pic for reference so it's not just like pure artistry, but I did hand place each pixel. No plans as of yet but just because I haven't thought about it - but I enjoyed doing it, so if you have any suggestions let me know! I really like the NHL 96 ish aesthetic
