It’s up to the other branches (typically the executive branch) to enforce Supreme Court rulings. Back in the day, when states were way more independent, that’d probably mean mobilizing the National Guard. Nowadays, all the Federal gov has to do is withhold federal subsidies and any state (especially Alabama) will cave quickly.
So, with just one sink, I was doing this maybe once every few months, so maybe 3-4 times a year per sink. Now that I have family staying with me, I have to do this 3-4 times a year per sink. Not bad, but if there’s something I can buy or do to get my time back, I’ll take it.
As far as I know, nothing out of the ordinary is causing the blockage. It’s some combination of hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It usually all accumulates on the stopper before it even gets to the P-trap.
It’s definitely not a quality brand for sure. The blinds themselves are a pretty cheap paper-like material and tear very easily. I would very much appreciate the metal ones instead.
Not sure why, but ordering online is something I hadn’t even considered. Thanks for the suggestion!
I am not sure if that is what you meant by exercising the tension mechanism
Yep, that’s what I meant. I’ve tried pulling them out perpendicular, at a 45 degree angle, gently tugging on them (as recommended by countless YouTube videos), and even taking it down and pulling the strings myself to try and jumpstart the tension mechanism. No dice.
I have $7 blinds from Menard’s, so I am not talking expensive or nice by any means
I’m thinking maybe I just bought a bad lot. I bought all of these blinds all at once except for one. The original blinds I bought are starting to fail. The one odd blind I bought a bit later than the rest is still going strong. Same brand although it is made slightly different than the others. Thanks for the info though - I’ll try store brand again and hope for better luck!
I also work for Big Corp and you hit the nail on the head. I saw big career growth this past year after I started working on a very visible project vs. when I was working on the small, technical stuff.
Now that I think about it, it was the same way at Midsize Corp too…
Imagine at 00:59 minutes elapsed, your boss enters and informs you that it’s actually an upstream data issue and that no changes are required.
Have to agree. Discord added a forum post view to popular communities which is sorta like Reddit, but not really. For really large communities, the noise from high traffic channels is tough to filter out.
Considering that this picture wasn’t taken in the USA, I’d say that’s a success on the Americans’ part to anticipate stupidity.
