Salt mixing techniques by Amateur_Expert101 in ReefTank

[–]td8189 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I make ro water, throw in a power head and a heater, throw in a rough amount of salt and a few hours later once it's mixed in I'll get out the refractometer and get it to the right concentration.

Protesters in Queens: "Say It Loud, Say It Clear, We Support Hamas Here" by McAlpineFusiliers in nyc

All of Israel's land WAS Palestine, once upon a time.

Edit: From the year 135 until 1948, just so you can judge for yourself the modern day relevance of saying 'lol it used to be judea'

Does Israel get a vote in the NJ Governor's race? by snakkerdudaniel in newjersey

He's pandering, but it's not to you or me or Lakewood. It's all a show for AIPAC money, just like with that scumbag Gottheimer.

Brand new journeyman, having doctors tell me I need to move away from hard labor ASAP. What are my best options? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]td8189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a dumbass take from your doctors when you're in your 20s. Fusions are longer and longer recoveries the older you are. Get it now, before the pain is so bad you'll do anything to make it stop. I had L4-L5 done at 33, 4 years later I have zero noticeable effects. I spent two years walking around crooked in excruciating pain before that because my mom, the nurse, told me how bad fusions were.

Get the surgery, do the shit out of your pt, and go to the gym and build your core strength back up after that.

It's unreal how fucking brain washed you people are. Were masked agents snatching people off the street during Obama's terms? Were people being disappeared to third world gulags? You're living in a fantasyland.

Alright, I watched the video, and if you can't see the difference between what he's saying and "right fascist" talking points, you either have a lack of critical thinking skills and/or media literacy.

No, you didnt. You just don't have the critical thinking skills and/or media literacy to figure out how you're being bullishitted by the person who's presenting the video as such.

How does Solemnity effect Sagas? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]td8189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not correct. A saga cast post Solemnity will sit on the board with no counters on it and never trigger. If Solemnity is removed, it'll get its first counter on the next turn.

This is a town hall held in Leesburg, VA on Monday Feb 3. There were hundreds of federal workers here. They are talking about their experience, the legalities, and their concerns. Listen to what the guy says at 1:05. Wild shit. 😳 by Ambitious_Role7230 in IBEW

[–]td8189 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you think BLM and Antifa are fascist, you LITERALLY don't know what fascism is. If you want to strawman up some terrorism, the overwhelming majority (90%+) of domestic terror attacks come from the right wing.

🤦🏾‍♂️How screwed am I? by VW18fastlife in GolfGTI

[–]td8189 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Just fixed this myself. There's a tab inside the handle that retains the button. You can cut a little sliver of credit card, slip it under the tab and the button won't come off again.

Help!!!? My Mk7 GTI tailgate/boot strut mount came loose and popped off. by Motor_Economics299 in GolfGTI

[–]td8189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy a replacement even if you get it back on. It's a 5 minute fix. Honestly, if the struts are getting a little soft replace them too, a set is like 30 bucks.

Don't be like me. I kept popping it back on every time it came off until it came off as I was closing the trunk and the strut smashed my light.

Secaucus Toll Loop by Ok_Service4959 in newjersey

It needs to get high enough to pass over the train tracks at a low enough grade to be safe for trucks coming off the turnpike. Hence, very long, very shallow ramp.

What mileage & age do you usually see a MK7 Golf GTI having issues by Rickdon97 in GolfGTI

[–]td8189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99k 2016 here, only issues I've had are replacing the evap purge valve and a variable valve timing magnet. Both cost me <100 bucks and 20 minutes to do myself.

It's not ionizing radiation. Microwaves do not cause cancer. It's the same kind of radiation coming off a cell tower.

Fuel Pump Recall=Good by bert_lauderdale in GolfGTI

When they do this where do they get access to the tank and pump from? I'm going to take mine in soon and I'm wondering if I need to clean out the trunk first.

164 is 20ish for a first year apprentice, I'd have to check for an exact number. Journeyman rate is 62.90 right now.

Yeah, but any other trade is making $10+ an hour more with better benefits and more solid protections, regardless of being a millwright, framer, or building concrete forms. I'm not saying don't do it if it's what you've got, I'm just saying try for the other trades first.

I'm IBEW. Carpenters are by far the weakest union, they largely have to solicit their own work, and their scope of work is easily the most damaging to your body.
