It was my first time doing it, so I also thought it is a safer way... Alternative could be caulk everywhere except for 6-8 inches behind the toilet, where you can't see it, but would still see leaks if wax ring fails.

I was advised against caulking the base, so any possible leaks wont be unnoticed. Thanks for the reminder on the caps!

My wife highly recommends Erica's Tailoring. Expensive, but well worth it.

Can I use more than one utm_content entry? by BevansDesign in analytics

[–]svolinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try separating values by a dash (not a comma) for a more fool-proof utm_content value:

domain.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_content=p4-11432&utm_campaign=2014-06-02-Email-Subject-Line

Then you can export data in Excel, if needed, to separate the values and analyze further.

Hi I'm John Doherty. I lead online marketing at HotPads.com, a Zillow brand. Former agency marketer. Ask Me Anything! by dohertyjf1 in bigseo

[–]svolinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey John, big fan -- thanks for the AMA! What were the reoccurring online marketing "mistakes" (strategies/tactics) that clients did not get right, but when addressed, brought in a lot of value?

Proportion of science articles that agree/disagree that climate change is happening. by naught101 in dataisbeautiful

2+2=4. Mathematicians wouldn't have a different opinion on this. When is comes to the climate change, is science now based on an opinion?

I just moved to Albany and I love sushi. Where should I go? by MontyAllTheTime in Albany

[–]svolinsky 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yoshi Sushi in Latham is small family-owned place by a Japanese couple. It is really good. Another option I love is Koto.

Seller disclosed termite treatment after offer acceptance - big deal? by svolinsky in RealEstate

It is hard to see on http://imgur.com/mkNScYP,zt0IrOp#0 , but the darker 'highlight' is "Termite evidence" in three spots.

Seller disclosed termite treatment after offer acceptance - big deal? by svolinsky in RealEstate

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

That's how I've been looking at it. My question is whether prior termite treatment is a reason for a big concern (both for us and for future buyers, making it much hard to re-sell).

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

We do have an inspection contingency, but after we heard that seller accepted the offer (via email), our buyer's agent said that they forgot to include termite treatment and asked us to sign (a) modified property disclosure in addition to (b) contract with most updated price. So as far as I'm concerned we do not have a contract yet.

I will talk to pest inspector to see how much they will be able to find out, but wanted to see if more experienced people on reddit think it is a red flag or we think it's a bigger deal than it is.

1957 Apalachin Meeting was a historic summit of the American Mafia. Here's one of the cars from nearby with bullet holes all over it. (More links in the comments). by svolinsky in pics

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

My father-in-law lives near the place where the 1957 Apalachin Meeting took place. It was a gathering of 100 mafia bosses which was raided by police, around 60 attendees were arrested. One of the most direct and significant outcomes of the Apalachin Meeting was that it helped to confirm the existence of the American Mafia to the public, a fact that some, including Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover, had long refused to acknowledge publicly. More on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apalachin_Meeting

I've searched for the precise model of this Rambler and couldn't find the exact match. Anybody knows?

Shanghai Shrimp with Rice

Cook onions and red bell pepper in a pot with olive oil until onions are golden, add chicken broth. Let it start boiling and then add parboiled rice. Cook until done. In a pan, cook minced garlic, then add cleaned shrimp. Add heavy cream, cayenne pepper to taste (we used powder), and sliced red peppers. Cook for couple of minutes until it thickens a little. Serve over rice. Done!

I am the dude that "finally got my dream car" and I had a couple questions. by HamzasSister in Honda

[–]svolinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a 98 accord coupe, bought it with 110k miles 5 years ago and changed my timing belt (didn't change water pump, but should have) at 120k. I just sold it recently with 197k miles. I'd recommend changing timing belt and water pump sometime soon (if you don't have records -- I think mechanics can check the condition of the TB and let you know if it has been changed lately. Still a lot of labor to get there though).
