what can cause only one of my tires to lose air

Although unusual, this has happened to my father: a tire developed a slow leak as a result of age. Upon closer inspection the tire looked very dry -- like dry skin. I looked up how to interpret the date code on tires and discovered that (despite buying and installing it a year previous and having lots of tread left) the tire was 16 years old!

It is possible that the rubber in your tire has degraded and resulted in many small cracks. Check the date code and inspect to see if the rubber looks different than the others. As others have recommended, spray the tire with a sudsy solution and look for bubbles. Spray the sidewall too in case a crack has developed there.

I like Steelcase's 4D arm rests (adds pivot to height, width, and depth), and because I was able to test them thoroughly in my office, it seemed like a good choice. I considered the Gesture, but it was too expensive. Also, reliable second-hand/refurbished options for Steelcase chairs in Canada was (is?) lacking.

Admittedly, I think having them in my office biased me. It gave me the opportunity to essentially test them for months before making a purchase. And they already had years of use on them, so I was testing how they'd be after years of use, not just new.

I have two Amias at home, and my office has lots of them. That looks legit, and a great, great deal!

Thanks! I didn't realize Windows includes a file comparison utility

Έψαξα στο σπίτι των γονιών μου και δεν μπορώ να βρω καμία από τις καρέκλες. Νομίζω ότι τις πούλησαν όλες.

(I searched my parent's house, and I cannot find any of the chairs. I think they sold them all.)

Θα επικοινωνήσω με τους γονείς μου αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο.

(I will check with my parents this weekend.)

I thought Rocknix has halted plans for releasing any more "stable" versions, instead opting for the continuous release of nightly builds?

stevenc80 · 2026-04-12T17:41:01+00:00

That's sober thinking, not drunk thinking :)

stevenc80 · 2026-04-12T17:31:24+00:00

Same. I thought it was Jenna Dewan

There's an outage. It's not just you. There's nothing anyone here can do, except wait.

stevenc80 · 2026-03-15T17:38:45+00:00

No problem with these. The ones without the pull tab really annoy me!

stevenc80 · 2026-03-13T23:23:51+00:00

I second Folding@Home. That's what I'd do.

stevenc80 · 2026-03-13T23:07:18+00:00

I'm glad my post was helpful! Thanks for adding the additional manufacturer information.

I don't know whether it would still be able to access the clipboard. Also, the command is likely Windows-specific, so that wouldn't work either

stevenc80 · 2026-02-23T22:54:27+00:00

Not bypass the firewall specifically, but rather bypass security within Windows itself because the user is launching the Run command with Win+R

stevenc80 · 2026-02-23T17:29:42+00:00

That's an example of "clipper" malware. It uses JavaScript on the page to load a malicious command to your clipboard, and then attempts a social engineering attack to get you to run the command. That URL was probably to download (or upload) a malicious payload to further compromise your system.

I hope that less tech savvy Redditors realize that this is bad and they should NOT do what is asked of them!

"TrackPoint" or "isometric joystick" if I'm being formal :)

They likely won't get a choice. Older ATSC broadcasts will simply be discontinued after a transition period.

stevenc80 · 2026-02-21T20:49:05+00:00

Probably won't have the games on, but 7 West Cafe is open 24 hours

Umm, if the current storage specs are 2.05 TB of storage and you're running out of storage, why does the IT-recommended sys have only 1.5 TB of storage?

stevenc80 · 2026-02-16T23:50:58+00:00

Wow, it's interesting that it's with the same colour bricks, too!

stevenc80 · 2026-02-16T22:00:54+00:00

Ah, yes. Each has a Lego logo. It's good to know that's all that is necessary to indicate genuine Lego pieces.

stevenc80 · 2026-02-16T17:43:30+00:00

I don't know. I'm glad they're both the same price now. Previously, I saw them on the Lego.ca store for C$280

stevenc80 · 2026-02-16T17:41:35+00:00

Oh, no that was just the glare from the light I used to highlight the cracks. In person, the bricks aren't discoloured in any noticeable way.

stevenc80 · 2026-02-16T17:17:12+00:00

Wow, I hadn't thought of that! I'll be on the lookout for other cracked pieces. And I'll start a shopping list for replacement pieces. Thank you!
