I see where both of you guys are coming from for sure, but I just wanna make sure I’m covering my bases. If there’s anything there that looks like it’s on its last legs, I wanna get that taken care of while the wall is still open. Some of that blue/green corrosion around the joints looks scary to me, but I don’t have much (any 😅) experience with copper plumbing, so I can’t say for sure.
Lol I think you’re in a very select crowd of people that advocates for CPVC. I hadn’t considered it because it was pretty regularly recommended against in all the research I’ve done so far
Kinda getting into cutting off your nose to spite your face territory though, no? Like, if I take a free tool created by a fascist, then use it to fight against fascism, aren’t I now hurting the fascist’s cause? I fail to see how that’s helping them succeed, at least at being a fascist, which I think we can agree is the more important attribute to care about here.
They could do so much with that concept too. Like imagine the little picnics you could do out in the wild zones in sword and shield, except that’s just every time you go back and visit Oak’s lab. It could give you way more incentive to come back to your home town

The mortar bed and plywood are sitting on concrete?
No, they’re both supported by the floor joists, which might be sitting on a poured concrete wall that runs underneath the bathroom. It’s a little hard to see exactly what’s going on under the floor, visibility isn’t great under the bathroom from the basement. Filling in the plywood section with mortar would require building out some sort of form to keep it from running into the basement.
The mortar seems pretty robust. The only way I’d be able to get it out would probably be the rotary hammer or a big sledge hammer or something. Ideally I’d like to just put SLC down as-is, I just want to make sure the cracks and divots won’t cause any problems with that. The floor transitions to hardwood, and currently the bathroom subfloor sits about a 1/2" lower than the hardwood, so I’m hoping that’s enough to fit a layer of SLC, ditra, and tile. I would like it to be flush, but I’m not super concerned if the bathroom floor ends up a tad taller.
I appreciate the feedback though, thank you!
I’ve been using Pop!_OS for gaming for a couple years now and it’s been great. It’s Ubuntu-derived like Mint, and I haven’t had much difficulty troubleshooting it, since a lot of the stuff on Ubuntu/Mint forums will work for Pop.
Whitney Houston =/= Mariah Carey
What do you mean? Those are just my programming socks
Eh, that’s basically the exact definition of news actually lmao
No it isn’t, that’s the economic reality. Do you think billionaires make that much because of some outrageously high salary or hourly wage? Because that ain’t it. They make their money by having money.
I think you’re confusing flatpaks with snaps
Android is the way it is because Google is close sourcing more and more of what makes Android useful as a mobile OS. It would be infinitely harder for some megacorp to do the same thing for a desktop OS.
Not historically, no, which is part of the reason why English’s spelling “rules” are the way they are
Right? Like “th” is one of the least ambiguous, most consistent letter groupings in English, a new letter for it doesn’t solve anything, and using the thorn character is actively worse for people with dyslexia. Let’s come up with a way to disambiguate soft-c vs. hard-c sounds instead, or make “ei”/“ie” more consistent.
Back, and to the left…
Not supporting iRobot vacuums isn’t necessarily a bad thing, considering that at the price iRobot is asking for their vacuums, a lot of the other companies in the space offer much nicer models with more features.
I can guarantee you it wasn’t the engineers that wanted it this way
How is the dog shitting in the house the Roomba’s fault?
Internet searches that have turned up a multitude of other thirty year plumbing veterans scorning CPVC. I’m genuinely interested if you have reasons you like CPVC over the other options.
