Nessie hunters hear sounds but fail to record them
  • I think the argument that is often made is that we have discovered so little of our oceans that it’s possible we haven’t seen all the different aquatic species there are. Not suggesting Nessie is real, just the overall thought process I feel the believers use.

    Labour rules out wealth tax if party wins next election
  • Similar to why I told my fiancée I wasn’t fond of voting at the moment. Either I vote for the guy lying to me, the guy lying to me, the guy lying to me, or the woman lying to me.

    66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
  • I don’t think capitalism would ever allow less than 365 days of work a year in many companies. People at the top only see one thing, and it’s money incase it wasn’t obvious. So less production and less money at face value are not something they would entertain.

    President Joe Biden says he will request more funding for a new coronavirus vaccine
  • Oh you mean to tell me that the first 6 needles they offered up did absolutely nothing for the long run? Guess we’ll just toss another 6 needles into everyone for this type of Covid too. Wonder how quickly the whole population has long term health problems due to that.

    Florida school district apologizes for assembly singling out Black students over low test scores
  • Not just the state, lots of them have left the profession. Why get paid peanuts to be in a potentially life threatening situation ( any school shootings) be berated by teenagers ( or younger) daily with no consequence , and you aren’t even allowed to teach them certain things, just what the government thinks they need to learn. It’s a shame really.

    Replacing Bathtub Faucet - Pipe Recessed in Wall
  • This is just a 1/2” nipple to extend into the tub.

    A) this has been leaking for quite some time based on the way the inside looks- I would investigate before installing another nipple.

    B) get the right sized nipple, but also you will need to seal around that hole- 1/2” pipe and 1” holes don’t math very well.

    C) make sure the new nipple ( or previous reinstalled) is tight enough to not have leaks, I suggest maybe buying a bit of some better Teflon tape or a small amount of pipe dope to help with the process.
