Reply to comment by Maxheadroom206 in Can I use an in-wall European Light Fixture if I use a USA compatible 110v bulb? by Maxheadroom206
Yeah, I didn't notice that. If you're not modifying the socket and the US bulb fits it, this should work fairly easily. The wires might be different, but the international model is rated for a higher voltage. So you're fine from that regard. And at 20W, you're fine with whatever gauge wires they used. This should work.

You'll need to make a custom baseplate to adapt it to a standard American in wall electrical box. You'd also have to modify the bulb fixture to hold your desired bulb, but what I would recommend is adapting installing 12V led bulbs and using a transformer to power the fixtures with low voltage. That will drastically reduce the risk of messing up the modifications and burning down your house.

Reply to TIFU by taking too much weed by Skarredd
At Coachella, I ate a brownie made by an idiot, which I guess makes me an idiot too. I made it to the end of the parking lot before the bullet train to hell showed up. I just laid in the grass and watched my world disappear for many lifetimes. I was a worm trying to evolve into something better, but this music festival decided to take place on top of my home. I was terrified of being stepped on. After an hour in human time, I snapped out of it and I could at least move again. Turns out the idiot who made the brownies added 10x a typical dose, something like 50 mg of thc per brownie. It took forever to get back to normal, like over a day. I went 5 years after that before I touched weed again.

It would go directly on the cold water shut off valve. It'll then have an identical connection at the top to reattach the faucet cold water line (looks like a 1/2" compression). Lastly, it'll have a connection on the side where you can attach the washlet hose. Until you select the washlet, you won't know what size/type that connection is. So you should get the washlet first, and then get a splitter that is 1/2" compression inlet, 1/2" compression outlet 1, and then whatever the washlet needs for outlet 2.

Since your toilet is set into the wall, you'll want to tap into the faucet line instead. Simply get a splitter and add the washlet hose there. The washlet will replace the toilet seat on the toilet.

Summer is probably gay. Not because how he responded to you, but the kind of guy that actively becomes good friends with the new girl in school without trying to date them is usually gay or closeted. Maybe he's not, but probably he is.

If you cut the pex line, you should be able to throw on one of these: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Bluefin-PAMA050-1-2-PEX-AL-PEX-Compression-x-1-2-Male-Threaded-Adapter
And then add this valve on it: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Bluefin-SSQ050F-038CS-1-2-FIP-x-3-8-OD-Comp-1-4-Turn-Straight-Stop-Valve-Lead-Free-Chrome
And you're done. Probably assemble the valve and the pex compression with tape/dope before putting it on the supply line.

That's the part number for the motor kit, but are there part numbers for sub components? If so, open up the motor and figure out what the problem is. Could be a worn out bearing. If you can replace just that, it'll save you.

Reply to comment by Tex-Rob in I just read an epic post from 11 years ago from here, but it was for 500lbs, how to move 1000lbs from driveway to workshop and UP 12 inches into a double doorway? by Tex-Rob
If you already have the plywood, yes. If you plan on buying them, it would probably be cheaper to hire heavy equipment movers. I moved in a 10k lb machine into my building and it cost $300. Moving something your size would probably cost around $100 and you'll be sure it's done right without getting stuck. If you tell them what you're trying to move, they should be able to give you a quote right over the phone.

I paid a handyman to install a bathroom fan. He installs it. I pay him. A few weeks later, I check the attic and he just left the outlet hanging in the attic. I paid a second handyman to run the conduit to the roof and add a vent. He claimed the job was done. I was out of town, so I paid him. I come back to find he added the vent, didn't run conduit between the vent and the fan. I run the conduit and connect everything. We just had our first rain. Guess where there is a new leak in the roof?

MRI machines are currently being developed that could run on liquid hydrogen and even liquid nitrogen. The downside is of course cost, as these new machines cost a lot more. The thing that will drive the mass adoption of them will be a vast increase in the cost of helium or the complete collapse of the supply.
