7 AnswersInvesting5 years agoWhy am I not getting enough hot water?
We have a 40 gallon natural gas hot water tank that fills no more than 36 gallons. We have a bathtub that measures 60" x 32" x 17". I tried taking a bath only to have the water go up to about 5" before losing all hot water. The tank heat is on max, and the pilot is on. I live in an apartment, and I am only one of two tenants. She has her own 40 gallon tank. The landlord said he thought it could be the dip tube, now he thinks it's the weather. I cannot take it anymore, this has gone on for months. Our tub doesn't even drain, and I can't take a shower for more than 9 minutes unless I want to freeze. Please help!
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs6 years agoAm I asking for too much sex?
My girlfriend and I are going on our 5th official month of being together (7 dating, and I've known her almost 2 years). We used to have sex multiple times a day. One night it was 5 times, and then 3 the next morning. I would engage in foreplay and do what made her feel good. But now, over the past month things have slowed down to about once every week if that, and even then she doesn't want to, we have to use lubrication. She uses NuvaRing, and says that sex isn't important. She always says shes not feeling good, is too tired, or not in the mood, but always wants to cuddle instead. After trying to do everything to get her in the mood and it never working, I am building up a lot of resentment. Now, we just end up fighting that all I want is sex and that it seems like I don't care, yet I drive her to work, and I live with her and do my share of cleaning and helping with expenses. She says nothing is going on with anyone and that all she wants is me. I am wondering how to attack this problem so please help!

4 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoQuestioning girlfriend's fidelity?
Before we were exclusive she was talking to a few guys from far away that she supposedly never had any physical contact with. She said I took her virginity. Now months later things are getting serious. She has always been quiet, but I feel like she is hiding things. She gave me the key to the apartment and wants me to move in. At the same time the sex life is dwindling. It used to be everyday, multiple times. Now I'm lucky if it is more than 2 times a week. I find many times we have to use lube, and in turn, seeing her not be turned on makes it that much harder for me to do my job. I also do all the work in bed. She wants me to do oral all the time, but may only go down on me maybe once or twice a month. She doesnt hide her phone, her friends and family like me. She doesnt like to see my parents a lot though. She is insecure too and always sayong she is a loser, that she is fat, etc. So I try to comfort her and build her confidence up. She also takes turns paying for dates, does my laundry, and seldom cooks for me (she hates cooking). She texts me saying she loves me and wonders what I'm up to and asks how my day is. Many times she asks what time im coming home then I dont hear from her. She usually says she was in the shower or at her parents down the road. Yet I cant shake the feeling that she is just trying to cover things up. I have seen suspicious things like a messy bed and stuff. But she tends to act normal when I arrive. Am I being paranoid, or should I be worried?

5 AnswersSecurity8 years agoSpun connecting rod bearing repair/replacement?
So my 2000 S10 with a vortec v6 spun a connecting rod bearing at only 103k miles. I started hearing the noise when I went about 1500miles over recommended oil change. Which doesn't make sense because I have ran other vehicles way over that over the oil change mile mark. Anyways, it sounds like a machine gun when I drive it (I don't drive it much anymore since I bought a new car). I would like to fix it up to sell. I replaced all the engine hoses, and have all new disk brakes plus all new tires with a few body part replacements to get rid of the rust. Is there any way I can fix the connecting rods? Did the rod take any other parts with it when it went? I could use some help, I am willing to post a video on how the engine sounds if needed.
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agorecommended amp and wattage for alpine r 12"?
Now I get mixed messages, some say that the alpine wattage is severely underrated, some say it is overrated. I plan on getting a MB Quart Onyx 1.1500D to run the coils in parallel at 1 ohm (I checked and it's compatible. Now I have a stock battery and was wondering if a better battery with a 2 farad capacitor in series between the battery and the amp would be sufficient. The cap I am looking at has an over-volt protection circuit for what it's worth. Also, I am a AC/DC electrical + digital circuit major. I know a lot, but I do not know how certain configs can improve/decrease audio quality and sub performance. I really could use some help (email me at Neckername@gmail.com if you're interested in helping and are experienced with this topic).

1 AnswerCar Audio9 years agoVideo Card PCI-E 2.0 x8 bottleneck?
I plan on buying two EVGA GTX 670 4GB video cards and putting them in SLI. I have an 850W PSU with 6x 6+2 PCIE connectors so power should not be a problem. However, I realized my mobo (EVGA X58 SLI LE) has 4 PCIE2 slots, but they run in the following config:
slot 1- x16
slot 2- x1
slot 3- x8
slot 4- PCI
slot 5- x4
slot 6- x8
Will the GTX 670 4GB bottleneck on that third slot (the x8)? I only do multi monitor gaming, and couldn't care less about GPU computing bandwidth with CUDA (otherwise I would have a better, PCIE 3 mobo). The only reason I am going with dual 670s is that I found that with a little overclocking (I am experienced so don't worry), you can get a 670 to push more fps than a 680 in most applications. I figure if I got two, I could nix the former plan to buy a single 690 for that single x16 slot (to eliminate the possible bottleneck of running the second card on x8). Also, OCing 2 670s will get me more performance than the 690, and save me about $100 or more
1 AnswerOther - Hardware9 years agoGTX 690 power requirements?
Ok so I have an EVGA X58 SLI LE with a Core i7 930 OC@ 4GHz, 3x 2GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 modules in tri channel memory mode, and I want to add in a GTX 690. My current PSU is an 700W OCZ (cannot find the model, it was discontinued) with SLI/Crossfire support, and it has max rated 685W output total for for the PCIE power connectors. Will it be enough to run my GTX 690? Or will I need to get a higher wattage PSU?
2 AnswersAdd-ons9 years agosatanic computer image, smile.dog?
Now I have been hearing a lot about this "smile.dog" image. Supposedly it induces seizures? Causes people to go crazy and hear noises? Causes "visitations" by paranormal entities during sleep, and other things. I have heard people in my clan claiming that they need help, and that an envelope with no return address was in their mailbox with a floppy disk containing the smile.dog image. Supposedly it also causes your eyes to bleed/become red. Now I am not a believer in this, and neither are my friends, but when they start believing in it, I have to question it. Is it possible an image can cause this? I am wondering about scientific evidence (eg: The way the pixels are arranged causes eye muscle spasms, seizures, hypnosis effects). I looked at the history and I see it came about back in the usenet days of the web. Anyone have a valid explanation for this?

There is a young woman that I am seeing, and for once everything seems to be going right. We have lots in common, we are both very sociable, and we have many long, high quality conversations. We are having a second date, this time it is to the movies instead of a restaurant, and I am wondering how fast I should progress in terms of intimate actions. Should I hold hands or not? I don't want to go to fast and blow my chances. I know that it is way too early for anything else past holding hands but I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up with this girl. It feels like a once in a lifetime chance.
