While you're down there, remove the trap (the U-shaped piece) and make sure there's not a lot of debris holding stuff up. There's a lot of pipes flowing into that single trap!

Put a bucket underneath, unscrew both sides, dump the water/gunk/etc that's in there. Maybe rinse it out (into the bucket that you keep under the sink or in a different sink; remember, you took the pipe out!). Then screw it back in, add water to fill the trap back up, and check for leaks.

Another posted mentioned Teflon tape, which is often your friend unless there is a compression fitting. These looks like slanted rings that will squeeze against the pipe and seal just fine. These are common in p-traps, but likely not present by the gray hose.

In OP's defense, a lot of super wealthy people are pieces of shit, so this seems like a reasonable question.

My in-laws will buy this and only realize once they get home. I swear they always pick up the wrong item. I have no idea how they manage to never read what they're picking up.

Latest example: I needed some Tylenol. They came back with a sleep aid.

Are there modern alternatives without a touchscreen? I bought a FiiO M11 a long time ago and I do light it but I would much prefer a no frills, purely button (or wheel) control player. Ideally, I could put Rockbox on it.

Grab a bag of frozen sweet potatoes and peas and you can really kick it up with minimal effort.

I just recently found out about FieldStation42. It takes quite a bit of configuring, but I really like the idea.

I just used NixOS daily for maybe a month? I really love how it's designed, but I had to give up because there were just so many small fixes I had to do and I found myself banging my head against the wall when I couldn't build something that depended on python-tk. You will see this criticism around a lot, but the documentation just isn't there yet. If you try to search for a fix, the packages have changed how they're configured since a solution was posted or they depend on a Nix flake which 50% of searches say not to use because it's experimental and 50% are all in on flakes.

I have since moved back to Arch, but I've started to use the nix package manager for some cases since you can on-demand non-permanently install a package.

I get it. The texture is fantastic. Now, the flavor is another thing. This works best with orange metamucil.

Is there a reason why these just aren't over large parking lots for covered parking?

Alright, from the picture, I assumed they were squeezing cream in their hands during the run and the sweat was involved in the process. I am very happy that is not the case.

I can't speak for all teachers, but I want to see work just so I know you didn't plug the question into a fancy calculator. I'm trying to assess your understanding.

Same here. Tuxedo Infinity Flex. The microphone has a prominent hiss and the webcam is very grainy. It will freeze if pressure is applied in just the wrong place. I support the mission, but I don't know if it was worth the price.
