Fortunately p-traps are there and should be (yea, right) removable.

But yea, whole lot better to just not let it happen. BTDT, got the badge.

Yea, those are just ranting insults.

I am paying today for things roughly equivalent to not tying my shoes.

Like skiing, mountain biking, and motorcycling accidents. (Add chronic illness on top, like sprinkles, for added fun).

It’s not just death, but constant pain that you want to avoid.

So little Tommy there, tie your damn shoes.

I’ve taken to taping up most of the vents on my boxes, then putting air conditioner filter media in front of the vents I leave open.

This controls the flow to only come through those vents, so they get filtered.

I clean the filters once a month - it’s nice that you can see them to know they need cleaning.

I do change the fans to more powerful ones, usually compressor style (what people call squirrel cage) because they handle airflow restriction better. The trick is how to orient and duct them.

Wow, yea, that’s bad, haha

Novell??

Holy cow that’s something I haven’t heard in forever.

So a lesson I learned recently - dishwasher detergent (the cheap powder) works very well for cleaning things where the bubbles of dish soap are problematic.

Things like jars, bottles, etc. It’s also good for anything where rinsing is a problem, as it’s designed to rinse easily.

I’ve soaked window screens, box fan grates and blades, etc, and they rinse right off with little effort for me.

It’s my new universal cleaner.

Credit goes to Technology Connections - he pointed out the dishwasher is sort of a universal cleaner, and it got me to thinking about using the detergent.

It may help in this case since it rinses cleanly.

No idea what mine is, but I feel parts of the drive holding the words have become inaccessible…

Well, when you have a population that can’t digest Washington’s prose…

“awkward Cronenberg creatures” hahahaha

So true.

Dude, GenZ are just as bad.

That means humans developed in an environment where these changes wee happening - so if it could affect us, natural selection would’ve compensated.

Just like how our lungs and cardio system is adapted to our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere.

Go to a local store and buy a plunger.

Or have the facilities manager handle it. It’s why you pay rent.

Oh, I recognize that name now.

Dammit, beat me too it

Yep.

Using a 2019 small form factor Dell desktop as an ESXI server running a handful of VM’s: Windows, Debian, DietPi, etc. I hammer the VM’s sometimes doing video conversion and everything just works.

Best part is it consumes less than 20 watts at idle, and maxes at 80 watts. Hard to beat.
