I love transitions lenses. I have transitions contacts and they are fantastic.

Petroleum-based lubes are not wise compared to water-based for internal use and say you aren't a fan of classic American literature without saying you aren't a fan of classic American literature.

Nitrile goes on the moment anything sticky comes out. Spending the next hours or days picking bits of bullshit off your dick ticklers isn't great.

I honestly wear gloves when working all the time, work gloves or nitrile, because I don't want rough hands with tiny cuts you only find when you use sanitizer.

I understood why he wore a glove with Vaseline in them, you wife probably does too.

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in Shower curb standing water

Those tiles should be slightly sloped towards the drain, I am guessing they aren’t or aren’t enough so water just sits where it lay.

Squeegee is the cheapest and best option, you should already be using the squeegee on the glass after use anyways, but ain’t no body got time for that.

If you are leaving the shower door open when you are trying to dry it out with the exhaust fan; a larger or additional exhaust fan or a dedicated dehumidifier are reasonably easy and cheap options that may do the trick. Personally, I’d rather add another fan than the hassle of a dehumidifier.

Removing and resetting the tiles with a properly done slope and corner is the best option, but you may be in for rebuilding the entire shower because of the risk of compromising the waterproofing during demo if the waterproofing is membrane.

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in Weird shower leak. Advise needed.

I am going to assume you have run the shower and watched the water leaking from that spot, eliminating any other possibility like water following the grout lines on the outside.

Redoing the grout may stop the leak from exiting, but the problem is water getting back there and coming out the grout. Closing off the exit just means the water will go elsewhere.

I would start with removing the glass and sealing the screw holes that may have compromised the waterproofing. You might as well seal the glass trim as well, both under and around. While you are at it remove and reseal the caulking around the shower pan. I would not reseal the grout unless the above resolved the leak.

If you have access below the shower, I would look there even if it means cutting a hole in the ceiling. That may give you a better idea of where water is actually entering behind the tile and if it is getting anywhere else. Doing a drywall patch is better than not knowing if water is getting elsewhere.

The best thing would be to remove the glass and tile to really understand the source of the problem. You may end up having to do that to fix the problem if resealing the screw holes and pan don’t resolve it. Long-term you would want to redo it anyways because there has been a waterproofing failure and that should be properly fixed. If you end up ripping out the tile, you can use inset glass track that won’t puncture the waterproofing and will likely need new glass made.

They are not American, Germans build way different so how they do things does not make sense without understanding what is going on.

Death_Equity , to Men's Liberation in Why Won’t Men Wear Hot Pink While Hunting? - More states adopt the color alongside orange, but opinions aren’t all rosy

A processed deer including tag, skinning, and butchering ends with 70lbs and costs about $300. 70lbs of processed beef costs $800-900. You can cut those prices in half if you butcher the deer yourself or buy a primal beef and butcher that yourself.

We wiped out their natural predators to protect livestock and pets. Leaving deer population unchecked leads to crop destruction(incliding soy and lentils) as well as deer suffering from famine.

Cows are absolutely an environmental nightmare and factory farmed in an abhorrent manner. Deer that are part of the natural ecosystem and lived nice and mostly healthy natural lives free of steroids and antibiotics are not abused ecological nightmares.

Lentils require many acres of farmland that ruin the local ecology, far more if you grow them without pesticides and fertilizers that cause their own ecological disasters including the loss of insect populations and algae or plankton blooms that release carbon and kill ocean and river ecology. Can’t harvest all of those lentils without 3rd world near slave labor or carbon emitting farm equipment. Harvesting pesticides, GMO, and fertilizer free crops without carbon emitting machinery by using fair wage paid people would increase the cost of the end product to far exceed viability.

Hunting is cheaper and more ethical than factory farms and veganism. Advocate insect farming as an ethical, sustainable, and environmental food source instead of ruining the environment with misguided vegan or vegitarianism.

People hunt because it is cheaper and more ethical than cow.

Death_Equity , to Work Reform in *mic drop*

Minimum wage goes up with inflation with a 1932 basis and rent is restricted to 1/3rd of monthly wages at minimum wage with obvious exeptions for students and those on a fixed income for one bedroom apartments.

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in Called Bugout for a bug inpection, and the guy said i have mice in my attic. Told me this is a mouse pee stain. Is that right?

Every attic I have been in that had mice had tunnels through the insulation where the mice were going through. Like actual tunnels, not gaps or disturbed insulation.

Like this.

It has a rib that locks the end in, so it needs to be turned to not blow the hole out.

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in How to Extract Broken Shelf Pin?

The twist on the shank means you need to left-hand twist it as you pull. So an easy-out or a broken schrader core removal bit/tool would work best, so as to not rip out the hole.

Put duct tape down, cyanoacrylate with activator to glue a scrap piece of wood to the tape, hit with hammer as needed to adjust, peel up and repeat.

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in Is there something wrong my AC? It’s a 1 year old unit and it can’t seem to keep up. For reference it is a high of 92 F today

Have you replaced your filter recently?

Does the unit have a standard 1" thick filter or a thicker one?

Death_Equity , to Home Improvement in Here's my before and after pics of me replacing my furnace

The new one is a high efficiency unit. So you don’t exhaust those through a chimney with duct, because they aren’t that hot, and they need an intake.
