What plastic duct? It’s a standard foil one, but had a break in a couple of spots and since we’re replacing it by a new one next week, we have a piece of tape on it… Am i referring to the wrong thing?

UPDATE thanks all for the comments, just a few clarifications and updates:
-
all electrical work is work-in-progress, we’re finishing it up tomorrow, it’s still an active worksite. The old outlet and old bx wiring is being removed, we’ll only have the newer wiring (and of course all outletd will be in their gangboxes and covers will be on)
-
the dryer vent will be changed and installed without sag when we finalize
-
the 4" abs drain connects to the old one with a rubber fernco gasket, those do require hose clamps and they’re up to code (though the top clamp could be straightened!)
-
the water lines are pex, they’re all good
-
we don’t have a choice but to push the water up with the washer pump - the drain evacuates to the city sewer around hip level in that basement
The worries for me are really the 90° out of the sump pump and the other 90° into the drain column, shouldn’t that be a downward Y? And the double S p-trap, is it creating some risk?
-
The top one, where the washer drain comes in? Or further down?
For the record he also connected the sump pump pipe like this, with a 90° - shouldn’t it be a downward Y instead?

Thanks for sharing! Very much aligned with what i have in mind… Only difference would be to narrow down to 1 or 2 (if at all) on the landing screen - maybe all other options are under a “advanced user? Click here to expand server selection” or something like that…
Couldn’t we design an “onboarder” where when you get started on lemmy, a “let’s get you started” wizard asks you 2 or 3 questions and based on your answers, it proposes 2 or 3 servers (or directly assigns you to one)?

[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•You have 5 minutes to hide a paperclip in your home. A detective has 24 hours to find it, If they don't, you get $100,000. Where are you going to hide the paperclip?English
13·2 years agoTurn off breaker (without clock attached), unscrew a wall plate for an outlet, unbend and drop paperclip in wall, below outlet, by sliding it between the electric box and the drywall, put wall plate back, turn breaker back on, put the kettle on for a tea.
It would make a great homebrew item with a finite # of casts inside, though, as a key pre-boss prep staging…

You’re right that they’re off-center from a first “symmetry line” you have to draw.
So: you place them on your cutting board. Trace an imaginary vertical bird’s eye view that passes by the center of both. Now based on that imaginary line, move both apples so they’re offset 2/3-1/3 from that line in each direction.
Align the two apples so they’re off center to one another. One has 2/3 on the outside to the left, 1/3 to the right, the other 2/3 to the outside to the right, 1/3 to the left.
Bird’s eye view, the single line cutting both apples will leave us with the left 2/3 of the first apple and the right 2/3 of the second, and a third portions made of 2 thirds, or another 2/3 of an apple.
One cut, 2 apples, 3 equal portions.

Install a well anchored level shelf.

Plaster, sand the holes and repaint when you remove the shelf.
Very basic tools, very easy techniques, yet mind blowing how many people don’t know how to do these things.

41·2 years agoSorry if someone else pointed to this already, but this could be relevant for your story:
“Unlike a body circling a single star, a planet orbiting a pair of stars would have to contend with two gravitational fields. And because the stars themselves orbit each other, the strength of the gravitational forces would constantly change.”
