 Got a leaky faucet. I think the valve is cracked. The faucet seems kinda stuck. Is the best way to remove it to get two wrenches and twist in opposite directions?

A lot of different things, depending on what you're making, but usually yeah sour cream. What are you making? E: oh nvm recipe is linked E2: I'd suggest a thick, rich sour cream (think Daisy) thinned with buttermilk would be a good match for that soup.

Is that pex pipe? Old pex can get brittle and crack easy. I'd try to keep the female end of the plumbing fixed in place and just crank on the faucet.

I have a cheap radial-dial beach radio that stays tuned to 88.5 out of Amherst, Massachusetts. This morning the radio picked up three or four other stations on that same band, and one of them came out of Missouri (I heard the forecast for St. Louis). What's the science behind that? Solar flares or something? I dont know much at all about radio phenomena.

I did a little research after posting and stumbled across this, which is the only explanation I could find: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporadic_E_propagation?wprov=sfla1 quote:Communication distances of 800–2200 km can occur using a single Es cloud. This variability in distance depends on a number of factors, including cloud height and density. MUF also varies widely, but most commonly falls in the 25 – 150 MHz range, which includes the FM broadcast band (87.5–108 MHz), Band I VHF television (American channels 2-6, Russian channels 1-3, and European channels 2-4, the latter no longer used in Western Europe), CB radio (27 MHz) and the amateur radio 2-meter, 4-meter, 6-meter, and 10-meter bands. Strong events have allowed propagation at frequencies as high as 250 MHz. But if someone has a better explanation I'm all ears.

But for 2., I didnt mention that the station also said that the local time was 7:30 (when it was 8:30 over here in eastern time). Thanks!

Does anyone know of any free booking scheduler web apps that are alternates to a site like youcanbook.me? I only need this functionality for about 12 days a year so it makes no sense to pay their $10 a month rate to use it, but I'm not seeing much else that doesn't have a cost associated with it.

I want to send a key chain from the US to a friend in Canada. It should be small enough to send through standard postage, since it would fit inside an envelope, but it is surprisingly difficult to find info about small international postage costs for things like that. Anyone have a lead for a way to ship it in a way that won't cost $25?

Do eyelids (and/or the muscles that control them) have a natural state? Like, at-rest-open or at-rest-closed? I'm having trouble sleeping, and it's got me thinking how the #1 determinant if I'm getting close to tired-enough-to-sleep is if I feel like relaxing has my eyelids close or not.

Neither open or closed is their "natural" state, there's more than one muscle group that controls the eyelids and they're agonists (not sure if that's the right word) to each other.

I'd try a steam cleaner if you have one. The oils are designed to vaporise in water heated by a candle, so if you can the temp up there, they should just boil off. All the techniques you have done so far are suited to water-based contaminates, not oils.

MisterBibs posted:Do eyelids (and/or the muscles that control them) have a natural state? Like, at-rest-open or at-rest-closed? I read somewhere that the natural state is closed. It takes muscles to keep them open. When you die, your muscles relax and your eyes close. So when you see people closing eyelids of their war buddies, that is bullshit. Or so I read.

Fruit at the grocery store is very consistent with one exception being watermelon. Watermelon is a total crap shoot, sometimes it's sweet and amazing and sometimes it's La Croix flesh. Why is watermelon so unreliable?

If Queen Elizabeth II is married to Prince Philip, why is he just a prince and not a king? Shouldn't someone married to a queen be a king?

King Consort as a concept isn't really a thing (like there is for Queen Consort), so if Philip was titled king that would be implying he's above or equal to the rightful monarch, which wasn't going to happen. Edit: I don't think he was even inherently entitled to prince(?)

He's a prince cause the little lady indoors says he is: quote:On February 22, 1957 the palace issued a statement. “The Queen has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm bearing date 22nd February, 1957, to give and grant unto His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.T., G.B.E., the style and titular dignity of a Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Whitehall. The Queen has been pleased to declare her will and pleasure that His 'Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh shall henceforth be known as His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.” Though, he was both a Greek and a Danish prince before he married her (he had to lose the titles) E: Actually, the story of their getting together is surprisingly romantic and not the 'marry your cousin because Father tells you to' that you would expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0A9CDP4gUc&t=160s Shut up Meg fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Jun 6, 2019 |

Discord has recently rolled out server banners, little images at the top of the channel list where the server name formerly would have gone. How do I hide it so it doesn't take up space on my UI?
