Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve?

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t...

You might need to pry the cylinder the pin goes in in the opposite direction of where it's trying to trend. E.g., if the two pieces' cylinders don't want to line up, you probably need to pry them over so that when the pin is in, they sit flush. This might be counter-intuitive. You might think you need to pry them together, but that will cause them to sit farther apart when the pin is in. Pry them away from each other, just a couple mm, so when the pin is in, they are closer.

Also check your pin for damage.

Could death by starvation be delayed by drinking your own blood?

Let's say you are dying of starvation. You pull one of your teeth out, causing blood to slowly seep into your mouth, which you swallow. The calories from the blood getting digested will delay the time you die of starvation, right? Or will losing blood while starving kill you faster?

morphballganon OP ,

The poor child didn't understand that it's not good to swallow so much blood

It sounds like the swallowing wasn't the problem, the bleeding was. The swallowing just masked the true symptom, the bleeding, from being observed by others.

If Reagan is in the top half, how am I supposed to take the list seriously? Or are you telling me ~28 presidents were actually worse?

Discussion: If I think Biden is too old, and I want to support a different nominee for the Democrats, what should I do? ( mbin.grits.dev )

I am 1,000% going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, because I don't want the world to end. I just want to make that clear because I know some people may be rightly suspicious of this type of post, for oh you know the reasons....

We don’t get to decide who the Dem nominee is when the current President is a Dem who will be running again.

What we can do is urge our representatives to pass legislation enacting ranked-choice or STAR voting, which would cause the parties to put up better candidates as their nominees if they want a chance of winning.

    Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?

    Assuming we are talking about an era when Sol has a thriving space industry and the Solar system is broadly colonized. Current materials science supports structures up to 8 kilometers in diameter, and if large scale graphene production is possible, up to 100km in diameter, at least according to Isaac Arthor....

    But the point is if you get your materials from the Moon, for example, it’s vastly more economical to just build a Moon colony (or another Moon colony) than a space colony of the same size.

    morphballganon ,

    The ideal solution is probably not to build a colony in the middle of space, but rather find a celestial body with the necessary materials with gravity low enough to be acceptable.

    Moon gravity too strong? Try smaller moons. Phobos? Europa? Charon?

    Is replacing a tub/shower combo DIY'able

    Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if...

    If you aren’t sure, don’t do it. Chances are, the project will be harder than you’re imagining, unless you are starting with a good idea of exactly what it entails.

    So that figure is just the mantle, no core or surface? I agree it would be near the top, if not above. The heat from the core would easily offset the loss of heat from including the surface.

    English settlers arrived in the east. So wherever they were when they named an area, that was the original, and as they spread west, north or south, they had to add those directions to keep them distinct.

    Do you speak from experience, SatansMaggotyCumFart?

    Maybe he did try but the people around him did their jobs.
