  • I’m a plumber, almost said i was a plunger… anyways, my go to for a kitchen sink clog is a plunger. We get a lot of weird looks/naysaysers when I pull it out. “Oh i tried plunging it, that wont work”.

    Trust me, I’ve been in many of your houses, my plunger is professional, and i know how to use it. Works 80% of time on sink clogs in my 6 years of plumbing.

    I guess ill share the plumbing secret. You have to block the opposite side of the plunging with a wet rag, or preferably a drain stopper. Put pressure on the stopper and plunge the other side. Also, if there is a garbage disposal, you can block both drain when full of water, and turn it on for 10 seconds or so… a lot of times, this clears the clog.

    Wet rag works on bathrooms sinks too, put it over the overflow holes while plunging.

    Warning tho, if your underpipes aren’t mostly secure, you can just push water through the seals all under your sinks, this is fine. kinda i guess, just tighten them up and try again and bring a towel. You can make sure they are secure by tightening them. Its like a bolt, righty tighty, on all underside piping connections.

    AND FOR THE LOVE OF EYESIGHT AND CHEMICAL BURNS, JUST TELL US YOU USED DRAINO. Even if it was a few days ago before the problem started. I know a guy who had his foot melted in the winter by stepping in a sewer puddle from draino, im talking no meat left… and if you get it in your eye, within a few seconds before you can wash it out, you have permanent eye damage.








  • I have been bypassing this with Pdanet app for over 10 years. I don’t think the app gets regular updates anymore, but it has worked for me on many different phones, and windows versions. Also different carriers.

    Doesn’t have to be usb either, I use the wifi direct setting it has and have used 100gb in a month. With minimal or no slowdown.

    I still use it almost daily, as fiber or any other form of internet isn’t available in my area besides satellite (not talking about starlink). I also play online games usually 80 latency, which sucks, but better than nothing.
