Wall Bathroom Tap adapter

bobohead1988 — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 22:18:12 +0800

I have a Wall Bathroom tap that I wanted to replace and install with another Bathroom tap that has a diverter

Diameter 14mm / 15mm

Diameter 18mm

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The question would be, can a Teflon tape help gap the 3mm difference or do I need to buy an adapter / replace the 14mm pipe?
Or perhaps a 3mm thick O ring?
Or a combo of both

Replacing the 14mm pipe should be last resort though as it seems the pipe itself was built before the wall was put up ( meaning the tiles was put in afterwards, giving a very narrow gap to work around the pipe )

If adapter is needed, what would be the correct technical term for it? something like just a ring to screw around the pipe so it fits

Interior pipe parts question

so I have 2 issue needs to be fixed for the condo I am at

1.
The unit came with a Teka TAGUS Pillar Kitchen Cold Tap, I'm installing a Hexagon 2 Water Filter but the head is a little bigger than the cold tap

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I've brought the Teka's faucet head to multiple store but they've mention the head seems to be a irregular size and not standardize so its hard to find the adapter for it.

Tried the adjustable rubber adapter that has a screw but it just keeps slipping off due to water pressure.
Any part recommendation on how to fix it apart from changing the faucet?

2.
There is a Water Inlet 3/4" Tap for washing machine.
The washing machine's inlet is a screw type and also same size which is 3/4"

The problem now is the screw thread is not long enough for the washing machine head so water is leaking if i were to screw it in and turn on the water.

An alternative I've discovered is Piano Amps but am not sure where to start with this.

Fox,Disney Hit With $1.75 Billion Suit for

QUOTE

In a new lawsuit, Genting Malaysia Berhad alleges spending $750 million to bring to life a theme park just outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that would leverage Fox intellectual property including Ice Age and Planet of the Apes, only to have Fox and Disney walk away from the deal with "seller's remorse."

According to a complaint filed Monday in California federal court, Genting Malaysia Berhad (GENB) signed its licensing deal with Fox in 2013. The plaintiff notes that unlike Disney or Universal, Fox had no experience in the theme park business until GENM came forward with an opportunity to create the world's first Fox-branded theme park called "Fox World." The deal was to provide Fox an annual license fee and a cut of retail sales, with Fox also receiving various approval rights over the design of the park, which would be the centerpiece to a resort complex that included a casino.

GENM says that a "soft opening" was set to occur in the first half of 2019, but that lately, Fox has been throwing up roadblocks including insisting upon "less qualified" vendors, failing to provide style guides for digital assets and failing to provide required on-site support.

"Why would [Fox Entertainment Group] behave this way?" asks the complaint rhetorically. "Initially, because FEG wanted to use its leverage under the [Memorandum of Agreement] to threaten termination and force a renegotiation of the economic terms of what it viewed as a below-market deal, largely due to its failure to negotiate for a share of gate sales."

GENM says that Fox was successful in extracting some concessions including increased and accelerated license fees and minimum guarantee payments, but the problems didn't abate — especially when Disney came into the fold upon a deal to acquire Fox assets from Rupert Murdoch.

"On information and belief, Fox’s soon-to-be owner Disney was now calling the shots, and its objective was no longer renegotiation of the MOA, but termination," states the complaint. "Unlike Fox, which was perfectly happy to have the Park situated a stone’s throw from the casinos of Resorts World Genting so long as it could continue to extract financial concessions from GENM, Disney wanted no association with a gaming company like GENM due to Disney’s 'family-friendly' brand strategy, as evidenced by its well-documented history of lobbying against the opening of gaming facilities near its parks. Accordingly, FEG issued a 'notice of default' purporting to start the process of terminating the parties’ Agreement."

The plaintiff, represented by a Kasowitz Benson team led by John Berlinski, says that seller's remorse "is not a valid ground for terminating an agreement" and is now seeking to recoup the $750 million investment, plus it is demanding more than $1 billion in consequential and punitive damages.

Former Conservative Minister says no to include

bobohead1988 — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 20:44:33 +0800

QUOTE

The former Conservative housing minister warned against increasing fire safety regulations to include sprinklers because it could discourage house building. Mr Lewis declined to bring in regulation forcing developers to fit sprinklers because he said it was not the Government's responsibility.

He told MPs: “We believe that it is the responsibility of the fire industry, rather than the Government, to market fire sprinkler systems effectively and to encourage their wider installation.”

He said the Tory Government had committed to being the first to reduce regulations nationwide.

He added: “The cost of fitting a fire sprinkler system may affect house building – something we want to encourage – so we must wait to see what impact that regulation has.”

US bids to grow human organs for transplant

Scientists in the United States are trying to grow human organs inside pigs.

They have injected human stem cells into pig embryos to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras.
The embryos are part of research aimed at overcoming the worldwide shortage of transplant organs.

The team from University of California, Davis says they should look and behave like normal pigs except that one organ will be composed of human cells.

The human-pig chimeric embryos are being allowed to develop in the sows for 28 days before the pregnancies are terminated and the tissue removed for analysis.

So, there is a bug with the new Crimson drivers that AMD released (not beta, final release) that lock your GPU fan speed and because of this, many users have reported playing for extended periods of time with their fans locked to 20%.
Others, like me, got their GPU burned, in my case it didn't even reboot the PC, it just crashed the screen graphics (orange bars) and I had to manually turn off the computer.
