I spent the weekend back home with my family, and it occurred to me that my 5-year-old niece probably doesn't know what the word "jew" means, and that I could teach her that it is the name for something that she doesn't like and completely ruin my sister-in-law's day at some random point in the future. I didn't do it, but it amuses me that I could.
OK, question to the brain trust... I want to drill a hole in a water bucket, below the water line, and have a valve/spigot on it so I can drain said bucket. What is that kind of fitting called? How would I Google for it? I'm stumped.
No, I'm looking for a compression type fitting that will screw in from the inside of the bucket/tank thereby sealing the hole that was made, making it water tight. Basically, drill the hole, shove the faucet in from the outside, attach flange/screw on the inside, it then makes it water tight by compressing on outside and inside of the tank/bucket wall. The closest I've found so far is "drain valve and flange" but still not ideal.
I think you're talking about a valve that's threaded, with gasket either side and compression nuts? Like a bottling valve? Like this? https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/fermenter-s-favorite-bottling-spigot-for-bottling-bucket
And just by looking for "bottling spigot" I find exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! https://www.amazon.ca/Plastic-Bottl...id=1543874420&sr=8-3&keywords=bottling+spigot
One of my best friends quit his 15 year tenure at CNN to become a realtor last year and is struggling big time. He said he was inspired by my success in logistics to venture out on his own, however I’ve seen a number of red flags pop up- He refuses to work on Sunday He refuses to answer his phone after 7 Etc He’s already told me if this year isn’t better he’s going to have to file for bankruptcy. What do I do? On one hand I feel slightly obligated to point out the stupidity of his entitlement considering I inspired him. On the other hand, I feel my comments are so mind numbing obvious (I.e. working on the busiest day of the week for realtors, etc) that any suggestions by me he already knows.
Tell him what he needs to hear, regardless of how obvious you think it is. This is a life-changing path he’s on, not time to worry about hurting his feelings.
I offered my advice, in person. That’s the best way I can convey my feelings without them being misconstrued over text or email.
The first sentence I quoted makes it sound like you are at least slightly emotionally invested in this. For that reason, I say be a thousand percent honest with him, IF he asks for your advice. Don't fall into the trap of telling him everything he's doing wrong and then he gets pissed saying he didn't really wanna hear that.
He’s asked for it in the past which is the only reason I feel slightly indebted to giving my opinion. Our friendship goes back almost two decades so I offered him my advice but he’ll have to initiate.
