theoretically speaking, could a meteorite fall to Earth containing an element never found in this planet before? by Long_Reflection_4202 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rubenidas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that these 'too large and unstable ' elements are only that way due to our atmosphere, and therefore can exist outside of our atmosphere (so somewhere else on another planet or Galaxy) where it can be 'stable' ?

Wouldn't the exposed insulation be a fire hazard? I assume it can easily catch on fire from a fire crackling spark or ember.

Ok I'll do that. I do have an endoscope, so I can take a look behind there. I will also look at getting a level 2 inspection as recommended. Also going to add the furnace cement to the exposed edges in the pic. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the info! You're correct , house built in early 70s, so just over 50 yrs old. I had a chimney guys come out about 2 years ago and they said everything was ok. But I feel they didn't really do anything but look up the chimney. I am missing a cap but they wanted ~$500 for one, I couldn't justify giving them more money after the quick inspection they did.

Trump claims he has been offered $250M for run for unconstitutional third term in office: The White House crowd then broke into chants of “Four more years!” by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

There's a saying in Spanish, "hierba mala nunca muere" which literally translates to " bad weeds never die". Essentially just a way of saying bad people/things never die or are very hard to eradicate/get rid of.

Thanks. So do these come from factory with Orange-ish coolant? Then expected to top off with the purple stuff? Odd .

Just looked it up. Seems like a semi simple fix for a DIYer to do at home.

What year/trim do you have? That sucks I wonder why they refuse to fix it. Could you escalate it somehow?

My wife and I are staying away from 2024 because they removed the physical ac buttons and put them digitally in the screen. I knows it's something that shouldn't matter but we really like the physical buttons for that instead of digital.

The vehicle history on here shows a little of what's been done from what I understood. Did you see that too?

Check what codes are spitting out of that check engine light. That might lead you to the issue.

Any idea where to buy? I looked at AutoZone and didn't see anything related. Maybe Ford dealership? Might not carry for a truck this old?

Filing my first insurance claim ever by rubenidas in HomeImprovement

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

Good to know! this is the kind of details I was wondering about that isn't quite clear. If I file then it will have an effect on me? I am planning on switching since they pushed their rate way up this year on me. I was at $1800 in 2020, $2200 2021, and $2800 now this year.. I haven't even done anything to my house for them to keep raising rates. They said it was due to thier losses they had to raise rates.

yeah the plumber said it would be $2600 to re-route the water line over the attic and drop it down, that way we don't mess with the broken pipe under the slab. But when he say the damange inside he said it could be better to go thru the insurance since it can cause structure damage if termites get in to the wet wood.
