But water is one of the best radiation shields in a nuclear power plant. I would be worried about chemical interactions and dangerous contaminants spreading via currents. But I think they said that 2ft (600mm) of water is sufficient to protect divers from radiation in spent nuclear fuel rod storage pools.

I mean I could probably do that but my giant glass fire lathe is in for repairs...

I couldn't hear any water after the diverter was pulled, and I don't expect a home inspector to leave a flood running in a wall if the shower head end was not capped...

As a plumber, the valve won't blow a seal, its only under normal operating pressures. But if the water has no exit then this will create a cross connection between the hot and cold while on and diverted, which would likely start pushing cold water into the hot water piping while the valve is on/open.

But not for a few years bcause earlier attempts will be filled with distracting deja vu.

If you make sure every character has an internal reason to be loyal to the party (ie: the people that will back them up in a fight) then you can justify playing almost any alignment while still having fun and not stomping on other's fun. And heads up, in my experience lawful good (often paladins) can be the worst offenders about stomping on other's fun.

The proper leak test of sink drain repairs is to fill the sink and then pull the plug, this applies water pressure to all parts of the drainage. Source: I'm a plumber. Also he was using the wrench backwards.

The first time my wife and I tried wilderness camping we ended up in a cute little meadow with a little hill, only to wake up to no moon or stars, so dark you can't see your hand in front of you face, only to hear (and feel) a male moose in rut. Stamping at the ground feet away from our tent and moaning. We scared him off with a "bear banger" noise maker, but he stayed within a few hundred feet grunting for hours as we lay in our sleeping bags, about 3km hike from cell service. Very scary.

This seems like the type of problem to test empirically instead of just believing comments on the internet.

As a plumber I had a conversation with my neighbour last weekend, she was lamenting her garburator and how expensive it would be to replace because it was giving them troubles. I explained how as a plumber I always recommend they be removed to save time, money and hassle. After about 5mins she got pretty thoughtful about it. I may have just talked her out of owning one...

Dude, as a Canadian, annual healthcare runs about $9k a year. Not that I see it, but that's what the gov't budgets for, and Canada is high amount other developed nations. The US is all bureaucracy and profit margin. The system is a scam.

And yet you will still get health benefits from the exercise anyway. Live long and prosper, and look good doing it!

Yeah, who is it easier to pull the strings on? Someone intelligent with an opinion (and chasing the money), or an idiot chasing the money?
