Je regarde le #film "Chute Libre" . Je me souviens de l'avoir loupé en 1993 à sa sortie, l'affiche avec Mickaël Douglas collé sur le mur du cinéma où j'étais bénévole ( mais j'étais pas là le bon week-end). 30 ans après je le vois enfin, bonne surprise, il y a du #pulpfiction avant l'heure (1 an) mais en brut de décoffrage....
Before elections PM #PetteriOrpo
promised that state owned #old#forests must be protected. After elections, the Orpo government is politically tuning the criteria of old natural forests so tight that valuable old forests defined by researchers can be logged. #Finland#forestry#conservation#PulpFiction

"Beginning in the 1890s, newspapers... tried to appeal to a broader audience by publishing popular fiction derisively called 'shund' or 'trash.' Yiddish authors like Sholem Aleichem and Y.L. Peretz strove to create a national literature. Shund stories, on the other hand, were written to make a profit, veering into the sensational and melodramatic — tales of romance, adventure, anything that would sell."
The way Barbie looked at it, this watch was your birthright. She'd be damned if [anyone's] gonna put their greasy[..] hands on her boy's birthright, so she hid it, in the one place she knew she could hide something: her ass. Five long years, she wore this watch up her ass. Then when she died of dysentery, she gave me the watch.
It was taking around 24 hours to drain just ~1—3 liters of water in my kitchen sink. Probably comparable to IV drip speeds. After a huge effort and expense, I finally fixed it without demolishing the kitchen – which would have been my next and final move¹. Sequence of events:...
I didn’t build it. I can see that the entry fitting & 2nd fitting is gray PVC, but that’s all I can see without a snake cam for wet environments. The behavior with the snake clearing the line temporarily, then the line being “clogged” after pulling the snake out somewhat suggests that maybe I have a shitty goffred (accordian) pipe. Maybe it’s getting kinked or folded somewhere.
I am wholly willing to bet that the sulfuric acid didn’t fix your problem but rather put a hole in the pipe itself above the blockage. I guarantee that you are now draining the contents of that drain directly into either a wall or some unseen cavity and are not actually draining out of your home/apartment/wherever.
That was my worry indeed. But I figured my next step is to replace the pipe anyway, so it was time to test the nuclear¹ option. The main sewer line in the basement is accessible just before going out to the street. I could clearly hear the water running through the main exit pipe when the kitchen sink is draining. But I can’t quite judge if the sound is gushing to the extent that it should be. So jury is out on this.
There is a cleanout at this central point where all big pipes merge. I could get more certainty if there was a way to divert all water from the main cleanout to a bucket. Then I could put 5 liters down the drain and see if 5 liters comes out. But I’m not sure now to rig up that diversion (or if it’s worthwhile).
(edit) footnote 1. I originally thought attaching the leaf blower to the drain pipes was the nuclear option… that it might blow pipes off their joints. It’s kinda like #BruceWillis in #pulpFiction in the pawn shop, where he picks up a weapon then realizes the nuke is yet to come… progressively upgrades weaponry as more options come to light.
Shyam's original illustration for the front cover of 2008's The Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction Vol. 1 was based on the Subha story "Hurricane Vaij", which features a mad scientist who kidnaps the scion of a political family and tries to reprogram him to be the perfect leader.
@artistmalavikapc cropped the men out of the picture and put in the Ben Day dots!
Rajesh Kumar is possibly the world's most prolific living writer of fiction. The Coimbatore-based writer has about 1500 short novels to his credit, having published an average of nearly 3 books per month for the last 50 years.
Fixing my drain required breaking laws, pissing off IRC users, breaking tools…
