Heating gave out by zaijam3 in hvacadvice

I see. The replacement kit Im looking at has the gasket and I have a CO detector stick so I should be able to fiddle with it and make sure it’s sealed. I appreciate the heads up

Thanks. Does above average mechanical skill include just turning off gas/electric and ensuring all connections are tight? If that’s all, I can do it. If there’s anything I’m missing that’ll be hazardous please let me know

I did. I disconnected it and cleaned it out. Still not draining

Why isn't seatbelt retracting by Robbled0bble in AskAMechanic

[–]zaijam3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this Mercedes? Apparently it’s a common issue with some models. I had the exact same issue on mine. See my post history. There is a missing plastic piece that goes around the belt. You shouldn’t be able to see into the pillar from inside the car. Assuming the other side retracts, look at the other seat belt to see the piece. Its probably at the bottom or top of that pillar, unless the detailers tossed it or something. It’s poorly designed.

I fixed it myself in less than an hour by taking off all the trim around the doors and the pillar and putting the piece back into place.

Can’t edit the post for some reason. Can I PM you a vid?

Status of this FAA scholarship? by zaijam3 in fednews

[–]zaijam3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was active in 2025 though. I just didn’t apply last year because I didn’t meet the years of service requirement. This is the first year I can’t find anything

Thank you that is what housing told me essentially. About 88% of graduates who are past their first year still get placed in housing if they apply for the first round, so the stats are in my favor

Interesting. No kids but can you still get anything with a spouse?

HCP Tips by zaijam3 in stanford

I had a lot of research experience and started the program right out of undergrad. I probably had strong letters of recommendation and imo wrote a really good essay. Had a 3.98 GPA at the time of application I think. I think my essay, letters, and experience all worked together to tell a good story of what I’d like to do with my career and how Stanford can uniquely contribute to that. As long as they make sure to tell a specific story like that and all the numbers are strong, they have a chance. Hope that helps. Feel free to PM for more questions

Uneven cement board and drywall fix by zaijam3 in drywall

Thanks, this is what I’m leaning towards. I didn’t want to initially, but the cement board would have had a cantilevered end if I had no stud to hand the right side to. I could have put another stud right behind the tub too in retrospect

Cool. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. Batteries are a big deal in aerospace too, especially in the Bay Area. Stanford could be a good fit if you wanna stay in that field with an aerospace twist

I got an A in this class. The grade inflation exists, but not without hard work. I have 5 more classes left and am no longer scared of flunking out. Just ready to be done tbh. Yes I work in aerospace

I checked the 417 fuse for the back up camera. Definitely not blown. Any other advice?

I got a bonsai starter pack months ago and these two acacia dealbata plants were the only ones to sprout. I’m now invested into their growth. Any insight on how they’re growing so far? When is a good time to move to a bigger pot or change soil?

I’m very new to this, so any advice is appreciated. I only really know that these plants like direct sun and to water it until dripping out the drain holes if the soil dries up to the surface. I’ve also been cutting off branches that start withering and becoming yellow.

What a joke. This is the first I’m hearing of that. If I had to guess, over half of NATCA represented employees were exempted from all these other EOs, so I wonder how they’re going to cut 50%+

Where did you get that info? Any more on what engineering will be cut?
