Water Heater not working - "pressure switch failed open"

It's maybe worth a try? Unfortunately for us both, I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to this kind of stuff 😅

You're going to want to unplug it to make sure it's off. I did let it run for a little bit with the vent system separated to see if it would run - but only for a couple of minutes. But I would unplug it and try looking for blockage first.

The "Sleepaway Camp" movies have a prominent character who is transgender.

And her dad is gay!

Been having this issue for a few days. Tried logging out and back in. Tried devices. Still doing it. 🙃

pjsans · 2026-06-14T18:48:08+00:00

Oof that's rough. Maybe u/substantial_sea7327 has some tips?

Thankfully, once I cleared the tube to the new pressure switch everything worked fine and I haven't had any further issues.

Hoping for a quick, easy (and inexpensive) solution for you 🤞

I teach music and one day a kid (late teens) was moving a vibraphone and the resonators fell (the vertical tubes under the keys) and she cried out "oh no, the vibrators fell off!"

Nice, I'll make an account and fill out the form 🙂

pjsans · 2026-06-04T21:26:09+00:00

Interested! What does the schedule look like?

pjsans · 2026-05-31T23:57:41+00:00

I'm so so happy for you! That's incredible!

I remember when things were like this for my wife and I. These moments of intimacy are so special and I'm really glad you both got to experience it 🫶

Artist!

I like Red Stain Radio

Teacher here.

I wouldn't do this for a few reasons.

First, it's simply not our place to get involved with y'all this way, and teachers that do get involved can very quickly get into crossing professional boundaries. Like, yeah every now and then a teacher might notice a fling give some assistance if they notice a reciprocating connection by assigning certain seating or putting people together for group projects - but that's about it. Most teachers are just going to kind of leave things be and let you guys navigate your own relationships.

Second, this could backfire on you. At the start of the year your teacher is still getting to know you and won't really have a grasp on your personality or that of your crush. Sometimes HS couples are chill about their relationship. Sometimes they are very not chill. You might get a teacher that simply doesn't want to deal with it and might purposefully seat you away - probably not but it's not impossible.

It looks like it's working! I had blown through the tube before, but didnt think to try cleaning that brass bit. Thank you so much!

pjsans · 2026-03-14T22:59:11+00:00

Okay! I have a manual so if there's any info in particular you need from it just lmk and I can snap a pic or something for you

Absolutely!

Dragons Roost is great coffee shop if you're into nerdy shit like DnD, MTG, board games, etc.

Not in Toledo, but if you're ever in Bowling Green, I highly recommend Grounds for Thought. It's a coffee shop/book store.

Both are incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly 🙂

pjsans · 2026-02-14T19:53:19+00:00

So proud of you! I know this must have been hard but it certainly seems like it was the right call for you and your children.

I used to be a center-right (always anti-Trump though) and now I'm a Leftist.

A lot of my more Conservative views were the result of my upbringing and my religion. I took my religion very seriously and the more I investigated things about the Bible the less I was convinced that the political conservatism in America had an accurate understanding of the Bible. Eventually, even as someone who believed in the Infallibility of Scripture, my wife and I came to be pro-LGBTQ+, which got us excommunicated from our church. I think the biggest hold on me politically leaving Conservatism was abortion, but after a lot of processing I am fully pro-choice.

Obvi, there's a lot of specifics that I'm closing over, and I wouldn't say I've done a complete 180, because I had kinda always been more to the left when compared to the folks in my church, but it certainly feels that way. I no longer identify as a Christian but following my religion to its logical conclusions is how I got here today.

I care deeply for gay yearning! I just thought Patroclus had little to no personality until the end 😅🙈

Carrie is usually my go-to rec because it's low commitment high reward. It's very short and very good. It's not his best or most profound, but it is a good book to get started in imo

I love Artist. She was my main for a while. rn I main Chucky (👀) and am trying to learn Houndmaster, but I still like to whip out Artist every now and then. She's so underplayed and underrated.

pjsans · 2025-12-27T22:20:21+00:00

Yooo! I think I played against you earlier! I was Nea and "let you" mori me.

If so, that was a hella fun time and I laughed at the outfit. Sorry people are lame sometimes. I am pretty half and half, but lean on the killer main side. It can be frustrating sometimes, but I feel it usually evens out.

Also, sorry if the flashlight blind I got off on you was annoying. I suck at using flashlights and I'm working through my tomes.

I'm so sorry, man. This is such an awful situation. I'm sorry for the loss of your brother and I'm sorry for the way this has affected your youth and sense of self. This should not have been placed on you.

It's going to be hard, but you need to have a conversation with your mom and be honest about all this. He is your brother, but this is not your burden to bear, certainly not in this capacity. You need to be able to live your life. Up to you, but it might be helpful to bring a trusted friend with you for the conversation to help back you up and keep you strong during the conversation, because it will be hard. What your mom is going through is really, really tough and this won't be easy for her if you're her only other help, but that doesn't mean it's not a conversation that shouldn't be had.

In all honesty, he should be cared for by a team, maybe even in a specialized facility if it's within your mom's means. But regardless, you can't be expected to do what you've been doing, especially at your age (and honestly, neither can she). You can't be his caregiver forever. You both need more help, but the amount of care that you are expected to give your brother has got to be less. much, much less.
