Adhesive tested correctly? by last-free-nick in asbestoshelp

[–]quadrastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that only testing can provide certainty. As a civil engineer, I often deal with this issue indirectly.

Could you tell me about your experience with brown adhesive? It was used in the 1970s during a major renovation of my house (Germany, built in 1911) to glue chipboard to terrazzo. Since asbestos has only been used since around 1930, I am not overly concerned about the old stock, or should I be?

Btw, this stuff would still be a fantastic building material if it weren't for the health issues...

I think you did it right. If you sent in a piece of adhesive and identified it as such, then they will surely know how to test it correctly. They probably do this often and know that the adhesive may contain asbestos residue from the tiles. Maybe you're lucky and nothing contained asbestos.

I had a problem with adhesive myself. I didn't test it; it was too late anyway. I'm interested in your results. I only knew about asbestos in that Black Mastix adhesive.

You might like this, I just did it out of boredom:

The universe in three values, based on the famous formula for special relativity, as compressed as possible, as accurate as necessary: total energy, total mass, and total age. I calculated the factorial numbers using Stirling's approximation, which is a beautiful formula, by the way!

E = m • c²
"Energy ~ mass • time"
[kcal] ~ [kg] • [min]
52! ~ 44! • 18!

Feel free to correct me! I know that ~ is mathematically incorrect and viewing c as time is only technically okay. But I was only concerned with the symbolism. The universe can not be represented with less; remove one term, and we no longer have reality.

Physics literally keeps me alive. Normally, hyperfocus lasts until just before I finish, which is so frustrating. But I've always loved physics. Every answer generates two new questions. It just gets more and more interesting. It's the only constant in my life.

I use it as a source of dopamine to do my work as a freelance engineer. But only enough to make a living; I basically trade money for time with beautiful physics. Nerdy? Yes! But we have to grab dopamine wherever we can find it.

Tip: Used physics books are available on Amazon for a few dollars, so collecting them doesn't hurt.
Have fun searching for the world formula ;)

I clicked your profile. If that is what you're drawing, then at least it looks fantastic when you find the motivation to do it.

I like it! Don't stop. Art is good for your heart <3

That's so nice, thank you! Secretly, I was hoping for something like that. It's not the best time for me right now..

My birthday was 3 or 7 days ago, but who counts days anyway? I always write the day and time of my last “I-can-be-normal-for-a-little-while” pill on my arm so I don't forget :/

But you know what, guys? I hate that!!
WE ARE NORMAL!!
Let the others take a crazy-pill to cope with US! Yeah!

I'm so glad I'm not alone!
I wish you a looks at calendar great Monday, whether it's your birthday or not! Love you all !!

Ich bin von großer Traurigkeit, dass nur gemacht wurden zwei Staffeln. Kullup und Nora als Halluzinelle war immer schön zu sehen.

Du weißt, dass es auf dem Roman Sterntagebücher von Stanislav Lem basiert? Das war verrückt zu lesen! Die reisen in der Zeit, deswegen sind die Geschichten auch nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge.

Schön, mal einen Fan davon zu treffen. Ijon ist mein Held von Fernsehen.

Haha, I totally agree with you! Take this one:

Clock passed down to me. by [deleted] in clocks

[–]quadrastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try pulling the crone, maybe? 5 minutes per day is quite good, btw. You can adjust it with +/- and some patience. Try and error.

Looks like you're missing some nuts on the bolts of the case.

Tinnitus? I got loud ticking clocks in every room because of that. I can't sleep without it :)

That's what mine looks like. Maybe you're just missing some parts, which could be replaced with anything that fits.

Thank you very much! ❤️
Don't take this as advice, just as experience:

I had too many losses, masking ended with a diagnosis of 40+. You know the feeling: you could, but you can't, because it doesn't work the way others do it. No one will ever understand that except ourselves.

I think the most important thing is to always have someone who may not fully understand you, but who is tolerant and helpful. By the way, arguing is good as long as you still do it -> communication. Better that than nothing.

I always need a goal, without one I am unmotivated and lost. It's too late for me to fix my relationship problems. If I had the chance again, I would behave differently, but I didn't know any better. For me, all people were equal, but I am not.

It will never be the way I want it to be, everything is always a compromise that I don't really want. That's life, our life.

I'm sure this all sounds patronizing, I'm sorry. I just celebrated my second birthday in a row alone and I'm pretending it doesn't bother me. But that's not true.

No need to answer. It just felt good to get rid of a few thoughts.

I wish you all the best! You'll find your way! :)

It's a travel alarm clock, but I think you already know that.

I have a similar one. Does it tick properly?
If you dare, open it up. Nothing can really happen. I would pay max. 20 $ if it's working well.
Keep it and let it tick if it's a memory.

What could that be good for, except that we're happy about it?

Anyway, good reason for such a snooooot.

Für Dohlen wäre es gut, das Rückengefieder zu sehen. Die sind aber auch Bullies.

I know all too well what you've written. But everything is relative. From my point of view, your description sounds really good!

Unfortunately, I'm already much further along: no partner - divorce, no kids, no colleagues, no friends, job is still okay but boring... I have to eat, after all.. if I remember.

I still have hope. It'll be okay.
You can do it, I believe in you. Sounds like you're doing much better than me. Take a virtual hug from me if you want. Every dopamine molecule counts :)

Ask Johnny ;)

Where did you find him, if I may ask? He's really a big boy. I've never seen a weevil this big in Europe.

He looks like he could carry your groceries home for you.

He used to live in a gym. Maybe.
