Hi everyone, my wife and I bought a house last August in New England and became first time home/pool owners. After some initial struggles with pool chemistry we got the water quality under control and were able to enjoy it with everything working smoothly until closing in October.
We opened over Memorial Day weekend and have the water looking nice but the pump is sucking in a little air. After some investigation, we’ve identified the most likely candidate as a degraded O-ring within a 1.5” SCH 40 PVC union located about 2’ before the pump on the suction piping.
I’m not positive about the brand but it looks very close to either a Lasco or Mueler. Other fittings are Lasco so going to try that first.
The part number is:
Lasco 40224
I’ve found it online for $8.50 - $12.50 but that’s a lot of money for a small O-ring, especially since it’s Buna. And I’d like to replace it in all three unions.
My questions are:
1) Does anyone know the dimensions and durometer of this O-ring? 2) Should I buy a replacement O-ring made of chlorine compatible material, such as EPDM?
Thanks in advance!

Just looking for some optimism with my claims... I have C&P diagnosed disabilities for most of my claims, but "not service connected". Most commonly because of "lack of evidence in service record". This sounds "boxed" probably, but we just didn't go to sick call during my Era of service (soldiers probably still don't). It was frowned upon by leadership, and typically those that did were titled "dirtbags" or "broke dicks". Not only that, but there is work to do in the motor pool. You are part of a team that depend on each other. If my back has a "twinge" and I go to sick call, another crewmember has to do my work too. We just didnt go unless debilitating. And once you become an NCO, now your whole team depends on you each day. I have multiple claims that got "you claim there was a "stigma" about going to medical, yet we see evidence where you went for your shoulder, your feet, and chest pain"... I feel like that is absurd reasoning... I had a class 2 separation from an incident (shoulder,) I couldn't walk (I think I bruised my heels or something (feet)), and I thought I could possibly be having a heart issue (chest pain). So of course I went to sick call for those. My 24 year old back hurts from pulling on tank track 10 hrs a day, 3 days in a row... that's why it hurts, young back doesn't go to sick call, I knew why it hurt, and that itll likely go away... 20-year-later back can't help but think doing that, 70 lb ruck marches, regularly carrying 50 cal long distances on shoulder, etc; could possibly have contributed?
Its like they deny a claim for one reason, I defend that reason, they find another reason, I defend that, it's a tiring loop. The CFR talks about "benefit of doubt for the vet"... if I say it happened and there is no reason not to believe me, then why not take my word for it. I even have a Civilian Dr Nexus, and detailed buddy/lay statements for a few of the items and I get the "C&P examiner had a more convincing argument to not service connect". What about the CFR rule where if there is equal evidence for both cases, they side with the case in favor of the Vet? Just frustrating. Now I know there are way more details needed to understand my whole scenario, and I'm not bitchy, just wondering if there are any articles/studies that can help me understand the "stigma" of sick call denial reasoning? There's no way they don't know what I am talking about. I know they are doing their diligence, but to what extent? Are examiners encouraged or incentivized for not connecting?
In the interest of space here, I didnt quote the exact CFR language, but why is this so difficult? Do they want me to give up? Is there no logic? Cramped inside an Abrams tank for 7 years scrunched in a gunners hole, doesn't easily equate to back and knee pain? You guys are good at encouraging and optimism, just looking for some here, lol. TIA!

TL;DR at the bottom
In case you've missed it:

"The community has also voiced concerns over the number of one-shots from both Widowmaker and Hanzo. We'd like to reduce the frequency of these in-game, as well as shore up some of the extreme sightlines in some of our maps. Widow's damage falloff will change from 70-100 meters to 40-60 meters. The damage falloff scalar will also increase from 30%-50%. She will still have the ability to one-shot 200 health heroes at 50 meters or less, but further than that, it will no longer be a killing blow. Hanzo will receive a slight nerf to his damage so that he is no longer able to one-shot 250 health heroes. His Sonic Arrow will also be more recognizable by the enemy team--the intent here is to reduce his kills that feel like they come out of nowhere."

I can't be the only one who believes that it's going to be a complete disaster. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually glad that they've finally addressed this particular issue regarding one-shots, but the approach of these nerfs feel like like they're not headed in the right direction.
Players who love snipers play them for a reason -- It's a playstyle like any other. However, as smooth as it used to be before, the change to 5v5 and having only one tank made the former snipers to excel a bit more than intended. Getting killed by just taking a few steps from getting out of spawn isn't fun in the slightest. Getting randomly one-shotted by a loose arrow isn't exactly fun either. Regardless if you've got a shield or not.
I'm not sure what's on Blizzard future plans (surely PvE, tsk tsk), but if they're really going straightforward with these nerfs, Widow -and probably also Hanzo, but we will see after his nerf- will eventually need a rework.
People who like playing DPS get their adrenaline dose whether they get kills or not, as damage input and utility is equally important to have an impact. On the other hand, from a sniper's perspective, most of the adrenaline they get is from getting straight kills. Especially Widow, who has got nothing interesting to compensate:
Widow: 175 HP and hitscan, a charging scope, a close range SMG, an inconsistent and sluggish grapple, a laughable venom mine, and a boring ultimate that pretty much exists to counter Sombra.
Meanwhile Hanzo is a non-hitscan with a charging bow, with kinda good mobility, with a barrage of arrows, a small wallhack, and an ultimate that rarely gets kills because almost nobody falls for it. Yet he can be more consistent than Widow.
I also understand that these are just but minor bandage aids as a manner of a quick fix as for recent complaints. It may work at some extent. But you also have to look from the opposite side: For how much longer will players stick to Widow with nerfs after nerfs? At this point I'd just say remove headshots and give her a more interesting ability kit to work with.
TL;DR These nerfs may just serve as well but it feels like they aren't headed in the right direction, because you also gotta think of the players who enjoy playing with snipers. Most of the current DPS heroes excel because of utility, whereas Widow has a boring kit. If you're going to nerf OHKOs as a whole, I'd suggest to rework her at some point. Perhaps also Hanzo, depending on the winrate he has after the patch.

Bad cards in trading card games have annoyed me for years. As a kid, there was nothing more irritating than saving 12 bucks for 3 packs, pulling 50 cent rares out of all of them, and going home disappointed. I read the justifications and the columns and forums and heard what other players at my LGS said in support of bad cards, of course, but I never really understood any of it until I played LoR.
​
I believe that LoR is actually worse off for the lack of substandard cards, and if you bear with me for a bit, I'll explain why. I understand that it's a little late to have discussions about their design philosophy, given how many sets they've already released and the players that will expect newer sets to be largely similar, but I hope some discourse about it may put certain cards in LoR into new perspective for players here.
​

Why do you want to pull bad cards?

Well, first of all, I don't want to pull weaker cards. That's the tradeoff that's made in exchange for all the benefits that bad cards bring to the table. At the same time, I believe that LoR is better able to support the addition of mediocre cards as compared to other games, on account of the monetization model. Cards, especially at the common and rare level, are plentiful in this game, and you get the bulk of the cards you need through crafting. Between how easy it is to complete your collection, and the reduced significance of pulls in this game, it's not a huge loss if your weekly vault has 10 more unplayable uncommons.

Limited

Ever since Expeditions got silently erased from the game, some players (myself included) have been waiting (on distilled copium) for a new limited format to be introduced to this game. However, I'll be the first to admit that Expeditions wasn't always the most fun, and I think a big factor for that is the card pool.
For the three of us unfamiliar with Expeditions, it was a sort of draft format that used to be in the game. Cards were split into "buckets" under a theme, and you were given 3 options 15 times to draft a deck.
The thing is, there's basically no way to do it wrong. The majority of the cards are playable in some way, and synergy is even explicitly offered to you. In fact, a challenge that my friends and I used to do was to just click on the center bucket repeatedly until we got a full deck, and we would still easily get 7 win runs.
Diversifying the power level of cards can introduce more choices into a hypothetical limited format, rewarding player skill, and increasing the card pool stops all the decks from feeling same-ish. Seriously, if anybody remembers Expeditions, sometimes it feels like you're just going through the motions to determine the number of each card you have in your deck. Wasn't really engaging for more than a week or two.

Effect Redundancy

In a similar vein, having effect redundancy in weaker cards is nice. Let's take a look at Cunning Kitten - interesting effect, comes with an upside with a hoop to jump through, looks like the payoff might almost justify the setup. Almost. Because the fact of the matter is, while Iterative Improvement is a good card, and slamming 5/5s that replace themselves is good value for cost, they're still just 2 mana 5/5s coming out on like turn 6 on average. The effect and idea is interesting, but it's not really worth building around.
Thought experiment. Let's say we introduce a 4 mana 3/4 and a 6 mana 5/6 with similar effects. And let's look at the setup - Iterative Improvement is a great card, maybe even too great. Bump up the cost to 3, remove the +1/+1 effect, you've got yourself a strictly worse ItIm. A bad card by most measures - yet can you justify playing a worse ItIm just to have a 5th and 6th copy in a deck that really wants the copy effect?
Having cards that can ask that kind of question opens whole new avenues to deckbuilding in this game, especially for the jank player that just really, really wants to see 3 different Shark Chariot effects pop off on turn 7.

Absolute Nonsense and Epic Cards

Sometimes, different cards appeal to different players. I make no secret of the fact that I'm an extremely competitive player, and I evaluate all cards presented to me on that scale. But there are other sides to this game too - back when Ryze was first announced (and before he started tanking all the vitriol from the community), we had jank players working day in and day out in the hopes of bumping his winrate above 29% and actually seeing that victory animation maybe half the time. Howling Abyss, Priestess of Desert Light and Secret Keeper might not be the best idea to ever slam on a board, but we have players that live for it anyways. And don't even get me started on Heart of the Fluft, I swear it's basically a mini-cult at this point.
Having more complete jank can help more casual players feel like there's more to the game than loading up Seraphine Ezreal and making value trades for 20 turns. In fact, we have some of those cards in the game already, they just tend to be gated at Epic cards. And can I just say, Epic cards were absolutely the most miserable part of finishing my collection? We get almost none of them! The vast majority of my green shards went towards crafting them, and we're hiding an entire subsection of cards behind that 3600 (1200*3) shard buy-in?
A nice example I like to point to is the famous (or infamous) Magic card One with Nothing. In fact, there's a very nice YouTube video discussing exactly why it's such an amazing terrible card. For 1 mana, you have the privilege of discarding your hand - it's an effect that seems completely idiotic at first glance, but the synergies it offers are unbelievably tempting. It's unmatched for what it does, even if what it does is speedrun your game loss.
I, for one, would be happier with more broad, "powerful" effects of that category, and less "gain a keyword" or "give me +1/+1" effects.

Power Level in a Vacuum and Understanding Cards

The power level of a card is always relative to the other options available, and it cannot exist in a vacuum. Radiant Strike, for example, is a completely unplayable card - 1 mana for +1/+1, it's completely outclassed by Catch!. In a similar vein, Elixir of Iron is a strong combat trick in standard, but that's because Troll Chant is off the table. Yet our evaluation of card strength is almost completely flat - with so few duplicate effects at similar costs, the nearest example I can point to for Radiant Strike and Catch! is Battlefield Prowess.
Yet it's in this comparison that we understand exactly why Battlefield Prowess is such a terrible card. Grant is stronger than Give, after all, so why is Battlefield Prowess worse than Radiant Strike?
In asking this question, we understand the value of hidden information, of flexibility, of priority and the cost of an action. We understand the innate cost of a card - both the opportunity cost in deck building, and the opportunity cost of being able to draw literally anything other than Battlefield Prowess.
In my opinion, LoR has precious few opportunities for players to learn basic concepts such as these, because no questions ever need be asked. In my preparation for the Runeterra Open, I've had the opportunity to speak to other players about their prep work and opinions on the metagame. Through these talks, I've realised that some players that made it to Masters lack the knowledge of basic concepts like what I just pointed out with Battlefield Prowess.
Somewhat counterintuitively, including bad cards might help new players improve at the game far faster.
​
Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions. Do let me know what you guys think, we can try and get a discussion going!

Renovating an old 2,100sq/ft home and considering replacing an 50 gal natural gas water heater with a hybrid heat pump. We already converted HVAC to heat pump so figure might as well go 100% and get those tax credits.
Anyone have one? How’s it holding up?

I have a 40ft diesel pusher RV.
I installed two diesel heaters.
Since I have a hundred gallons of diesel on board, I would like to install a standpipe in the tank and feed both heaters from one source.
I have one heater installed approximately 15feet away and one is maybe 25feet.
I estimate a maximum of 18 inches of height to get the diesel out of the tank, then it’s downhill from the top of the tank to the pump itself.
Is this too far for the little pumps to suction the fuel?

I did post this in the general advice thread but I think I might need more advice than that;
I’ve found out I’m basically awful at pking after picking it back up, I’m a 100 cab range tank 99 range 74 pray 75 def 99 hp. I need some spec attack hotkey advice.
I’ve tried Void (not got elite yet) tank gear, dragon knives, msb I, obby rings, rune knives into Heavy ballista (Got d bow bh the other day now using that but almost never hit a big spec) into thrownaxes.
I have about 1/10 kill death ratio, if I’m not lagging on either world I’m getting stacked out by every weapon under the sun, I appreciate I’m just bad but I’ve essentially burned through most of my bank on return sets and I have to risk minimum 700k without anguish +1 or 2m with.
Every zerkemed is using Voidwakeclaws to g maul etc and most tanks I fight are in elite void with +4 and won’t skull or in straight up Morrigans and I feel like I’m a pure vs a tank.
I lagg hard enough where I’m constantly eating Pizza > Turtle or Turtle > Brew/Karambwan and the amount of times it straight up does not register either click even if I’m spamming them is insane.
Same for weapons, I’ll be using dragon knives get them to maybe 70 and as I hit I click;
Esc (invent) > D bow (bottom left of invent) > F1 (spec tab) hit spec click target > if I get a decent hit I press Esc click D thrownaxe > F1 spec bar > click target.
I would say 60% of the time I do this even if I’ve done it as the knife has just left I just poke with d bow it didn’t activate spec, or if it does and I switch to thrownaxes spec and click it’ll either not go off or essentially I’m standing there for 4 ticks looking stupid or just throw a random axe.
I’ve gotten older I’ve not pked for years but I’m not dumb, I’ve even watched vids of the combo slowed down to 0.25 I just don’t seem to be able to crack it.
With that, I feel like my 75 def does almost nothing for me, elite void isn’t a massive step up but I’m getting thrashed so hard I can’t see the benefit of grinding the stats for elite to be in the same position.
I have a pure I’ve never pked on, stopped training it recently but it’s 75 att 90str 1 def 90 range 52 prayer fully quested.
Pure pking has obviously changed since last time I tried it, I don’t want to grind out 99 range atm if I’m a terrible pker so do you think I start trying BH on it or consider making a new pure and start 50 attack low prayer and try get points to eventually transition to 20 def maybe 52 prayer?
I also have an obby tank ( enjoy making accounts not great at utilising them) that I’ve not touched in a year, it’s got I believe 1 att 83 str 40 def quested, addy gloves slayer staff and torso. Does anyone have experience around this level bracket? I think it’s about 53 or so combat and when I last played it it was all about the fun weapon stalls into DWH or obby maul ko. I feel like at this combat there’s going to be no chance for me to ko when everyone can Pneck Angler > brew > Karam but I’d like to know what people think, it’d be cool to get a swh.
Essentially I think I’ve lost about 180m? Just on pking sets and repairs alone and I’m down to about 60m.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Edit: another issue is anyone lower than 100 will either refuse to fight me and ask me to skip or go “another tank? Sad” and they’ll be the max str non skull Zerkers that end up risking about 300k, I also found that 90% people I kill risk under 600k with almost max str, whereas normal void (glass cannon I get that) costs me 285k to repair each fight, I risk either d bow (extra 1.2m) or go glory like a scrub and still end up risking over a mill, I’m at a point where I’d have to get maybe 3 kills per 1 death to see profit and I’m getting probably 1 per 10 haha.

Is the canister itself, supposed to make any noise? I cannot find any posts on reddit or videos on YouTube to help me out with this.
I installed the 407 on my 20 gallon turtle tank and noticed it making a swooshing sound every few minutes while releasing tons of microbubbles. After some searching on the internet I found some ways to troubleshoot it. Now it seems to only do that every once in a while, which I was told is normal and part of the "purging" process. Don't know if that's true or not.
The filter was silent for a good half hour after that, but now, it's making kind of a constant squirting sound where the hoses are connected to the cannister. I cannot find anything saying that this is or isn't normal so if anyone has an idea if it is, or has had similar issues, please feel free to help out. Thank you!!

Hi all. I had the fuel pump on my mk1 focus ghia auto 1.6 replaced a few weeks ago. Drove the car around locally for 50 miles or so with no problems.
Yesterday filled up the tank to full for the first time since pump replacement - I got 20 miles up the m6 before one of the pipes at the tank end just blew off, totally disconnected, leaving me stranded.
Got the car back to the garage who replaced the tank - they couldn’t understand why it had happened. They replaced the seals in the pipes and the cars running again, but are the pipes likely to blow off again? Should they be replaced? Are they single use only?
Not sure if I can trust this car on a long journey again!

Sincerely, 《ROCKMAN X DiVE》team.

How can I improve my coffee crops? As you can see, they appear discolored. We water them regularly, but they still have issues. What type of compost or treatment should I use? I currently use banana trees for shading, but they are still small. What can I do in the meantime? I'm new to coffee farming and would appreciate any advice.
Are there any improvements I can make to my medium-scale coffee field? The coffee trees are affected by rust disease, and I don't know how to resolve it. Some leaves also have a black, soot-like coloration, and there is a yellow discoloration issue. I'm seeking solutions for these problems. How should I address shading? The banana trees are not providing sufficient shading yet. Are there other shading methods that might be more effective? Is my planting density correct? What is the ideal density of coffee trees per acre? Currently, we have a spacing of 60cm between the coffee trees. What is the most suitable irrigation system for coffee plants? Water access is not a problem due to the nearby lake, but the current manual watering method is laborious and not scalable. We've recently tried using a water pump with a hose, which is less tiring but still not efficient. Considering our limited resources, which irrigation system (drip or sprinkler) would be better suited to our situation? Should we rely solely on chemical fertilizers like Ammonium sulfate, Blaukorn, DAP, and dolomite? I watched a YouTube video suggesting that these fertilizers can be detrimental to the soil, trees, and surrounding water sources in the long run. How frequently should we water the coffee plants? Is there an online community for coffee planters? Perhaps a subreddit or a Discord group where I can connect with experienced coffee farmers? As a complete beginner in agriculture and coffee cultivation, how can I expand my knowledge in this field?
What we have done so far:
We have applied "MadaSul Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer" in combination with Blaukorn fertilizer. We conducted controlled experiments with varying ratios of Ammonium sulfate and Blaukorn (50/50, 90/10, 75/25), and we also used a mixture of DAP, Ammonium Sulfate, and Blaukorn for a few dozen trees. Additionally, we have added Dolomite to all the coffee trees. We have used a fungicide called Fongicure due to a suspected infection in the plants. However, we are still awaiting results. We have experimented with a mixture of dish soap, olive oil, and water to address the issue of black rot, but we have yet to see results. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am located in a remote area of Madagascar near a lake, where there is no electricity or running water apart from the lake as a water source. The area is very isolated, and although I do not reside there, I have field workers who report to me.

*NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT, JUST LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK Note: this text was originally created, copied and pasted into other subs where fish-keeping is not the main sub, obviously we are dedicated to our fish and in turn would probably not be as interested in this service, I just didn’t want to rephrase another 5 paragraph idea
Also I mention cories and gravel, I would always recommend what’s best for the fish owner, not what I put in the post. I only realized this after typing it all out.😂
I’m very proficient in aquariums I have been my whole life. I feel like there may be a market in my area for setting up and maintaining aquariums so people would not have to maintain them. I would almost do it similar to Mark Cuban’s ‘cost plus drugs’ where there’s just a 15% markup for the products, and a 3-5$ service charge for every visit, that way it stays very consistent and if there is a sale on products my customers would get a sale too, as I did not have to pay as much this time around, they would not either. This leads me to a couple of questions one how would I start advertising? Of course, Facebook, word of mouth but is there the other unique ways you can think of ?
How I would charge: For example, if you wanted me to set up a 20 gallon aquarium with 10 neon tetras, five corydoras gravel substrate, but you already have the tank, light, and filter, I would charge: 1.15(.85(10x2.99) + 5x3.99 + 20).
This is where I feel there might be an appeal. at petsmart, For example you get a 15% discount if you buy four or more neon tetras and therefore I would give my customers a 15% discount as I do not have to spend as much either.
Then I would charge $2 and $2 for the dechlorinator and bio start ( just cost of using some of the $20 bottle) As well as the flat $5 fee like I described for every visit. So I’m total the bill of setting up the 20 gallon would look like this: 5 + 1.15(.85(10x2.99) + 5x3.99 +20 + 2 + 2)= $84.74.
Also, would I need any sort of business license?
I am 21 if that changes anything…
And then also if you had an aquarium would this interest you, I’m not advertising here I’m just collecting thoughts to see what that perspective would be personally, I would not, but that is because I like maintaining my aquariums. I’m sure there are people who would prefer to just have it be a nice centerpiece, and not worry about maintenance.
What are your initial thoughts, questions, concerns do you have, as I feel I might really do this, so I want as much feedback as possible. Thank you!!!!

I have 3 african dwarf frogs in a 20 gallon tank currently along with several fish. Two of them seem happy and healthy, and the other (Kermit) I am 95% sure has dropsy. I am devistated by this and not sure what to do. I plan on calling around tomorrow to see if there are any local vets that treat this in my area. I only have the one tank, and no other place to quarantine this sick frog. I am at a loss. I don't want my other fish and frogs to get sick, but I can't kill this sweet baby as some say to put him in a ziplock bag and crush him. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
