OSU_Matthew posted:Nice! How do you like it? Are you planning on getting a protective case? My S3 only got a "protective case" when the original backing plate no longer stayed on from too many drops. Then the case I bought would only fit over the Samsung Official Extended Battery without the backing plate. Eventually that was literally falling apart in my hands from too many drops and 6 months later I broke down and bought a new phone. I hate the screen, it's too reflective. The OS itself is a nice upgrade over 4.1.1 (to 6.0.1) in that it's WAY easier to tell apps to gently caress off (notifications, staying awake in the background, etc), but ATT has a bootup sound you cannot disable, and it keeps asking me to upgrade various things. I told the lady I would not accept the phone if it continued to make that noise, she eventually found an app for me. Yes, I would roll back the whole transaction because it makes a noise I cannot shut off. I hate consumer hardware. No. I've never bought a case for a phone. I've also never cracked a screen on a phone, and I drop it all the time.

 Bear with me, the rear door to our house is original, west-facing, has a dog door cut into it (we will never own a dog), a single pane window, and I can see light coming in from under it in the afternoon. Replacing it with a fiberglass half-window double-panel door w/ double pane glass and internal blind. I'm excited to have something with a blind on it that actually seals all the way around with a hint of heat insulation in the window.

Toast Museum posted:I tried about eight brick-and-mortar stores today, and not one had cocktail glasses smaller than, like, 7.5 ounces. Most cocktails that are served straight up are somewhere between two and four ounces and would look like the dregs of a much larger drink in the giant glasses most places sell. I eventually found what I was looking for on Amazon: 6 each of 4.5oz cocktail glasses, 6oz champagne flutes, and 5.5oz coupes. Keep it classy. It's a pet peeve of mine to serve drinks in the wrong glassware. One day I will probably own 5 different styles of wine glasses.

mfcrocker posted:Champagne flutes are basically always wrong though; they don't offer any aroma at all. Just use a bloody wine glass Tiffany flutes are nice, they don't narrow at the top and you get a pretty reasonable nose out of more delicate champagnes. We use our bulk cheap flutes for mimosas ($10-15 sparkling wine, OJ, float of grand mariner). Otherwise for middling champagne I just toss it in a big red glass maybe with an ice cube and call it a day. OSU_Matthew posted:Pro-tip, avoid old crystal glassware, especially things like decanters. Lead is/was a component in crystal glass, and it's possible for it to leach out, especially if you've got alcohol stored in a decanter for a long period of time. We have a bunch of old leaded crystal. We don't store anything in it for that very reason, just use it for immediate drinking.   I wonder if my 1947 house with plaster walls has lead? Hint: There's a reason I bought the 8-pack instead of the 2-pack.

  This has changed the QoL in our house to a huge degree. We can now do such crazy things as use the kitchen sink while someone is in the shower. Or flush a toilet while someone is in the shower. Or really have seemingly any number of faucets on at once now. (Vintage 1946 galvanized pipes with no regulator replaced with copper all the way to the street.)

TotalLossBrain posted:Were the old pipes rusted much inside? I only peaked inside the supply line, but it looked more like a drip irrigation system. The rest of the pipes I didn't see them remove. Honestly it was a really easy process (because we don't have lead in our walls): 1. Get 2 or 3 quotes (hard), 2. Pick one (easy), 3. They bang it out in a day (1 day of no water), next day the inspector comes, next day the drywall/plaster people come. 4. Prime and paint. If you need to live in the house between the re-pipe and the patching you have to clean up the dust twice, otherwise just once. Get a HEPA filter for your vacuum and a NIOSH mask for your face and vac every surface, wet mop, and wipe down with a wet rag everything else. Run the fan on your central air if you have a sufficiently good filter in it, don't if you don't. Replace it after the air clears up. We also bought some box fans and stuck a 20x20x2" high filtration filter onto them to clean up the air. I hope.   It was all in all less bad than I feared. We have a crawl space so the number of walls they had to open up was limited.

Totally TWISTED posted:Copper will last longer than pex, and I think this is more true with some of the less lasting crimping methods for attaching pex components as well. Now of course copper will be more expensive than pex by quite a bit. I don't know enough details on this to be in depth but that's the basics of it. Mainly the arguments seem largely to depend on who you ask so I chose not to engage. I personally "trust" copper more, it tends to be either working or not with no middle ground vs plastic components which can be hard to tell if it's done wrong/cheaply out of the gate. The fewer fittings on PEX is compelling. Copper is antimicrobial which is cool. My gut feeling is we're less likely to find out copper pipes with unleaded solder causes cancer later on in life. It added around $1000 iirc, my total bill out the door with patched walls was $8,350 cash. 1 bathroom, kitchen, laundry, service to the street, water heater pressure relief to the side of the house, and some misc work tying into the irrigation with a new shutoff.

frogbs posted:Wow, that's more expensive than I thought it would be. How many SQ ft is your house? 1250 w/ crawl space. $1000 of that was copper over pex, I think $1000 of it was trenching to the street. Not that the guy who hand dug that trench in our 50% rock by volume dirt is seeing $1,000 but I paid it, Moen replacement single-handle setup for the shower+tub, and a bunch of new quarter turn valves. This was with several competitive quotes, and we went with the reputable plumber in the area. I see 3 of their trucks around town on any given day. They're fixing one silly design choice they made for free because it was silly, even though to the letter of the contract it's A-OK. (Ran the irrigation cutoff to the middle of our patio wall where it sticks out like a sore thumb rather than over to the side where the balance of the irrigation controls reside.) Now that I'm home I can see I paid $8,291. Funny story, one morning as a teenager I was awoken to my dad replacing moulding along the floor of a hallway. Tap-BANG, Tap-BANG, Tap-BANG-FUCKFUCKFUCK-doorslammingnoises and then there was no water in the house. He found where the water line was run for the back side of the house! Just a wee nail he drove home right into the pipe. OSU_Matthew posted:Re pex vs. copper -- pex doesn't freeze and burst if it's installed on an uninsulated exterior wall, but the quality and longevity of fittings are all over the map... Soooo Thank god I live in Los Angeles county. The one set of pipes in an exterior wall is insulated. The walls are plaster so any pinhole leak should be pretty readily apparent. If it's under the house  . Damned if you do damned if you don't / the joys of home ownership.

PromethiumX posted:just out of curiosity was your whole issue that you couldn't flush the toilet without robbing hot water from the shower? It just seems extreme to literally replace all piping to the meter because you needed a regulator. Also what about CPVC? It's even cheaper than pex and is solvent welded together. https://www.google.com/search?q=lifespan+of+galvanized+pipes : 2016 - 1946 = 70. I should have stuck with superstition. There were many other problems with our plumbing than just needing a regulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1slibJ52yoc

I used to believe we should always go with the lowest until we got a brand new car and the loving ridiculous turbo lag just went away upon using the recommend 95 RON the first time we had to fill it.

Doom Rooster posted:I always had major problems with eye strain and image clarity on modern LCD displays. A friend got me to try out a cheap old CRT and it made a huge difference. It's pretty obvious that all of the monitor "advances" over the last 25+ years are just BS sold to us by BIG MONITOR to make us buy new things that we do not need.With CRTs, a replacement pack of 6 costs less than one new LCD does too. You might consider testing if it's IPS vs. TN LCD panels, and matte vs gloss. TN or gloss give me headaches and eye strain, matte IPS monitors do not.

Dr. Light posted:Just made beef stew in mine last night - super good! I also make single serving oatmeal in this; add 1/4 cup steel cut oats, 3/4 cup whatever liquid you want (I normally do vanilla soy milk), and any spices/fruit/nuts you want into a mason jar. Cover the jar in aluminum foil and cook at 15 min on high pressure. You can fit three pint jars in the cooker. Jars can be emptied into a bowl and reheated in the microwave, or just eaten as is from the fridge; either way is good! Easiest way to make steel cut oats I've ever done. I like to add apple sauce and cinnamon to mine - it tastes like apple pie! Neat trick on the oats. We accidentally bought steel cut once and threw out half the can. We might buy them again with this thing! We've decided on baby back ribs for tonight, carnitas tacos for 2 nights and a chicken stew for the other 2 nights. These will be the first things which aren't just "lets see what happens if we put stuff in our pantry into the pot to see what happens." We are excited.

Tres Burritos posted:You know how the whites will stick to the shell sometimes though? Industrially made hard boiled eggs are made in a pressure chamber specifically because it make the shells fly right off. It's fantastic. One of the eggs the shell literally popped in half when I went to roll-crush it on the plate. The egg fell out and nearly rolled onto the floor. I was blown away! It's also so easy to get them perfect every time even doing a whole dozen at once, far fewer rubbery eggs for me. In keeping with the theme of the thread, I just got back from our local discount grocer and now am the proud owner of:  Pick posted:No, I'm someone who knows how to cook hard-boiled eggs without a robot.
