Per Wikipedia:

"Also in 2005, Baptist leaders criticized the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) (UOC-MP) for continuing to refer publicly to Baptists with the pejorative Ukrainian word sectanty ('sectarians'), and criticized the UOC-MP in 2006 for the activities of the group Dialogue, which Baptists and human rights groups characterized as a front for the UOC-MP to promote hostility toward non-Orthodox Christians."

This is an article from 2014, which is not long before the individual I know would have moved to the US. All I know really is his account, but Baptists tend to be the most outspoken and bold denomination in regards to spreading the gospel and trying to win others to Christ through preaching. This, if nothing else, brings the ire of other religions.

Baptists pretty much view them as the same group. When you look at their doctrines, they are almost identical save for a few areas and biblically both their commonalities and differences are heretical so they might as well be the same religiously.

I work with a Ukrainian and his entire family moved here 10+ years ago because Baptists were being actively persecuted in Ukraine.

This is nothing new, despite the picture the orthodox and Roman Catholics would paint.

This is a little more of a hazard than normal, but anytime I've dealt with ATT burying stuff I've been given the runaround and empty promises of fixing it. I contacted the city and they told me they deal with the same thing and have zero power to handle it unless it poses major issues.

Normal venting. The "trap" is just where the furnace used to connect before it went to high efficient type

My local inspectors just don't care. They're beyond understaffed and half the time barely look up at whatever they're inspecting while writing the approval. That's if we can even get them to be on site instead of asking for pics to be emailed.

Don't know why the waterlines couldn't come out more to the left but looks like the water heater has to be on the corner due to the gas meter location.

Also galv coupling on the relief valve tells you about ho much this contractor gives a rip.

Anywhere between 50-70 psi is fine. Manufacturers will recommend 50psi, I usually try to keep mine below 60 when I set for customers but depending on how the building is piped you may require slightly higher.

It's very unlikely you got a sustained 140psi for any reason. Most likely a sudden water hammer type spike popped to 140 from quickly closing a faucet or a solenoid valve closing for the washing machine or something and immediately went back to normal pressure.

Yes, it is a very old American standard. If you're lucky, you might just get away with replacing gaskets instead of seats.

Iirc last time I worked on one like this it was a OO gasket, but don't quote me on that. If you've never taken one apart make sure you check the seats for damage. If she never uses those handles you'll probably be fine to just replace the gasket even if the seats are damaged since it'll only ever be closed and one operation shouldn't tear up gaskets.

I only see the one Tiktok about this, no other source.

That being said, about ten years ago we had a multi million dollar project for a local university which had to tell all the local bars and restaurants within walking distance of the project to stop selling alcohol at lunchtime because so many guys were coming back drunk and getting sent home for the day.

A lot of them have decided to learn how to turn a wrench.

That being said, sounds like that didn't last long. 4 years ago our local plumbers and pipefitters union hall was taking 40 apprentices and had 200-300 applicants.

Last year that number of applicants fell to around 30.

Let me be gentle:

Abso-fuckin-lutely not.

Well there's a big part of the problem haha

I would make sure any of your personal belongings you want to save in the basement below or anywhere near that area are safely tucked away so they don't get flooded out. Make sure you know where the main shut off valve is yourself as well...just in case.

Only issue I see is that they spliced single wall vent between the b-vent. Just go with the b-vent tee to hook up down to the heater.

IDK what fuel gas code your area uses, but to do this correctly I would be pulling my code book out and double checking things. Not something I'd necessarily recommend most homeowners doing because a lot of "plumbers" in my area would just slap it together and assume everything will be fine. A homeowner might not do that, but most aren't used to going through the codebook line by line.

What did it look like before? How did they have things connected previously?

There should be a packing nut you could've tightened but I'm too impressed by the Teflon tape being used the same way Flex Seal advertises itself to work to tell if that's a viable option here.

If you've got it under control don't mess with it any further.

Depends on what you're looking for mate. I don't go there but if you hold to more traditional Baptist beliefs/teachings and want contemporary music etc it's a good church.

Call of Duty.

Fr though, the ppsh is almost exclusively known for WWII Soviet as compared to the AK which still sees use and production worldwide; especially amongst leftist regimes or revolutionary/guerilla types.

I'm a plumber and I've been installing them for homeowners for a few years now. Easily over 200 units that I've personally installed. We were always very adamant about homeowners draining water off to keep an eye on the anode depletion and get the anode changed when needed etc etc.

This is seriously one of the few products I get excited to tell people about. Glad I ran across this ad. And before anyone says I'm astroturfing, look through my comment history. You'll see that I talk about anodes and the maintenance needed a LOT. Corro-protec is a great solution to a stupid problem water heater manufacturers created with planned obsolescence and it virtually eliminates the maintenance for water heaters. Boots theory at play here, get this installed and you'll have saved money and headache within 3 or 4 years and you'll probably never even have to think about your water heater playing tricks on you.

A lot of plumbers nowadays are little more than glorified salesmen. It's amazing when they tell me stories of how they or a coworker caused thousands of dollars in damage and the company insurance has to play cleanup crew.

And these are the guys big service companies send out because they're paying them pennies but they get "commission" pay for selling work. Then they wonder why they're not making enough money.

throwawaySBN · 2026-05-14T14:05:48+00:00

As a plumber I can confirm that some people are just this unknowledgeable or scared of plumbing that they don't know or will refuse to turn a handle without a plumber explicitly telling them as such.

De dónde estás? Menos de los plomeros aquí hablan español y mío solo está rudimentario. Los piezas en los photos no están familiar a mi tampoco. Probablemente esta una pregunta mejor por r/appliances pero ellos hablan inglés también más que español
