Last time I visited my dad, his toilet was rotating pretty freely. I can't say if it went quite that far, but there was a shocking range of motion for a toilet that appeared to still be water tight. (I would have fixed it if I had the time, but he assured me he was gonna call a plumber. I assume next time I visit him it'll still be steerable).

So turns out my old thermostat did work but only when wired backwards  Couldn't work out why the new one wasn't working until I realised the old one was actually bridging between a live linked to the timer (so not a permanent live) and a switched live back to the boiler for demand. Except the light to show it's working never came on and it was only when I fitted it back without thinking and wired it up wrong that it actually started switching based on desired temp, but then ofc the boiler didn't work because it got no signal. None of this makes sense, best guess is maybe the wires on the boiler side were reversed somehow? gently caress it. Anyway now the correct wires are just bridged in the back box and the new one handles the temperature properly, but still, wtf. e: I should bridge them at the boiler end rather than leaving the (intermittently) live wires in the wall but they were there already and

I enjoy lurking this thread and figured I would share some mild self-found content:  I mean I guess it's nice if you do somehow make it up the stairs, you won't be trapped there.

Yeah even though those buttons have wheelchair icons, there are plenty of people with mobility issues that need them but can actually manage stairs. A person who needs to be holding a handrail and a crutch or two crutches may struggle to open especially a spring-loaded door and then also get through it.

The wiring standard generally is good though which is what makes it weirder. Like I know where the wires are run from and to and they're labelled in the conduit to the boiler...it's just that what they're actually doing makes no sense. It could be that the old thermostat was just a piece of poo poo and just did whatever and somehow it all worked out purely on the thermostatic radiator valves!

Don't they just terminate as low voltage wires connected to a circuit board with some kind of labeling?

If curb cuts didn’t exist, those delivery robots wouldn’t, either.

Anybody ever hire those guys that hang out in front of Home Depot? I have a pile of roofing trash that I want to get rid of. What's going rate for "bring your truck 5 miles away, fill it up, and dump it"?

What's going rate for "bring your truck 5 miles away, fill it up, and dump it"? Sounds like a great way to get every empty lot around your home filled with trash. There is no way those people will haul your trash all the way to wherever the local dump is. They're just going to dump it in the first place they can get away with.

What are you willing to spend ? You can get one of those green fabric “dumpsters” that you schedule a pickup for. I feel like you can walk away with $250-$300 in costs but that might be preinflation value. Edit: A bagster! That’s what’s it’s called.

The local dump almost certainly requires the dumper to show proof of residence, which I doubt many of the day laborers are prepared to show. Why not just wait until heavy trash day (last pickup of every other month around here), or filter it in with your normal trash?
