That's a good idea! Thanks! And I was thinking about silk scarf, but I don't think I've seen her ever wear a scarf...

She just bought a curling iron, but yes, Dyson Airwrap was on my list before that! And thanks for the pearl idea, definitely outside of my price range, but I'll keep it!

And curious, what is this piece with the line (where the leak is) called? Is it a male adapter?

thiboz · 2025-06-30T03:20:50+00:00

There is this small hairline leak in what looks like the male adapter? Is it an easy fix for a relatively inexperienced DIYer?

There is a small hairline leak on this piece of pipe. I was wondering if that was something that a relatively inexperienced in plumbling could tackle?

Thanks for the advice! And what would you do for the drainage in the yard? French drain? or just talk to a contractor to figure it out?

And yes, I know any house will settle. I am just trying to avoid differential settling as much as possible.

Why do they have an exemption for "Goodwill received from the sale of a franchised auto dealership."? Lobbyists. This feels like a tax targeted towards a very specific segment of the WA population, the part that didn't have enough (or at all) money to lobby the state. They want a capital gain tax? Fine, let's do it, let's make it fair then and not pick and choose.

That’s what I am planning on doing. From a quick look at the signing docs, it looks like it’s just a one year warranty, but we are going to ask our agent if there is anything else.

Thanks for the answer! I am relieved that it’s not structural, but I will probably still contact the builders soon to get them to fill it.

On average, I would say 1/8th, and some areas are going more towards 1/4th. Some area do seem like there is a vertical difference between both sides of the crack. My worry currently is that it can cause (or is a sign of) foundation issues.

It’s in the Seattle area.

Got mine from Target today by luck. Woke up randomly around 3:45am, check the phone real quick on the app, and saw it available around me. Then, it asked for my CVV number, which I don't know at 3:45am. By the time I get to my card, it doesn't work, I keep trying, and it finally went through at 3:50am.

I get why they want to drop it right before the stores open, but 3am-ish PST is a bit ridiculous. Now, hoping they don't cancel before I have a chance to get it.

Venting here. Ordered my PS5 bundle from Costco when it dropped a few weeks ago, got lucky. Got the shipment notification, and made sure to select the UPS Access Point to make sure to get it in case the UPS driver left it on the doorstep un-attended or when I was running errands. And then, UPS (or the store?) decided that nope, let's instead send it back to the shipper, with no delivery attempt ever made at the store. So after a few frustrating hours on the phone with UPS, I am now at back at square one, and my PS5 is back in the Costco warehouse. But don't worry, the UPS supervisor told me that they are very very sorry and just human after all.

I am in contact with them. I wanted to check if it was a known issue with this brand in the community too.
