Schrödinger's Plumbing: something under the sink is leaking, but only when the cabinet doors are closed and you cannot observe it.

This turned out to be kind of bizarre. There was an extremely slow seep from one of the kitchen sink shutoffs. Fair enough, the house is 40 years old, and it dates to when it was built. But it was one of those crappy gate-valve shutoffs, which I hate - they always leak, eventually - spend a few extra bucks and get ball valves. But no new-housing contractor is going to pay *anything* extra, just eats into the profit from the job bid...

It was seeping from the valve ... stem? Shaft? Dunno what to call it - the threaded rod that moves the gate open and closed when you turn the handle. It was seeping like a drop every few minutes, through the packing around that stem.

With the cabinet doors open, there was enough air circulation that it never accumulated anywhere - we're a dry climate, and evaporation took care of it. With the cabinet doors shut, drops would occasionally run down the pipe to the cabinet floor.

Das Bild zeigt eine Hand, die einen Daumen hoch zeigt, während sie einen Handtuchstoff hält. Der Hintergrund ist einheitlich und in einem warmen Beige gehalten. Über der Hand steht in großen, weißen Buchstaben "DON'T PANIC", und darunter in ähnlicher Schrift "HAPPY TOWEL DAY". Die Hand ist in einem bequemen, flauschigen Handtuch gehüllt, was auf eine entspannte und gemütliche Atmosphäre hinweist. Der Text vermittelt eine positive und beruhigende Botschaft, die auf das "Towel Day" anspielt, ein Tag, der sich auf die Bedeutung von Handtüchern und die Unterstützung von Autoren konzentriert, die an der Erstellung von Texten für die Blinden und Sehbehinderten arbeiten.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

@godofbiscuits I swear. Orange menace survived COVID, an assassination attempt and only knows what else and Biden is diagnosed with cancer?! I swear we are all being tested or something. There’s no justice left in this world.
