I probably wouldn't do it with 100psi but might be able to turn an air compressor regulator down to 10-20 psi or something and blow the clog out if you have access to one. I would double check what pressures are safe to do that at but I'd imagine most people don't use a dedicated tool for it most of the time

I don't have access to an air compressor anyway, lol O wonder though it I took something like wd40 that has the attachment

I had to clear the tube drains for the ex-wife's sunroof. We found the best way for us was to use some weed wacker line. It was stiff enough to push all the crap through without causing any damage to the hose. Not sure if it would work for you, but worth a shot pointing it out. This was on a 2006 BMW X5.

Good luck, it's a pain, we did try compressed air can and it has worked for others, but not for us, she had a lot of crap in there.

Call me old fashion but I am comfortable with the concept of the 12 days of Christmas. Neighbours across the street put up programmable outdoor LEDs and since November 1st, it's been Christmas themed lighting almost daily. Two days ago they put up their indoor Christmas tree.

Look on the bright side, if you are not in retail, you won't get Christmas music PTSD! There's only so much Mariah Carey you can listen to.

Honestly tree has been up for about a week already. Refuse to do anything before Remembrance day though so the 12th would be the absolute earliest we ever even consider doing anything. ... Programmable lights have been up since we moved in though... install those mid summer on a ladder that isn't slippery and dangerous and just change the color as needed for the holiday. Orange for Halloween etc.

Edit: Side note technically 12 days of Christmas is the span after Christmas day not before. So following that logic decorate on the 25th?

Samsung monitor (m7 43)has been defaulting over to Samsung plus tv a lot recently. Feeling like a firmware update did this. Had to figure out how to disable it find out if that does the trick or not

So even after disabling the Samsung Plus TV app it hid it from all the menus but was still defaulting to it. So disconnected the monitor from WiFi then it would complain that it cannot connect to plus tv. Found a different setting multiple levels deep that I would have never enabled that set Samsung Plus TV to the default on power up.

Same here, that's the absolute earliest I'll start putting up any outdoor lights, if the weather happens to be good. I don't turn mine on until the Santa Clause parades kick off which is usually around the 3rd week of November.

Since it gets dark so damn early it's nice to have some lights. Been a pretty rainy/cloudy November in Toronto. Some years the daycare kids across the street walk up the driveway to look at the lights too.

I only buy fresh trees, so that doesn't happen till December, usually a week or 2 before Christmas.

You are somewhat arguing against yourself here... Christmas & the 12 days started on Christmas, not November as Snoopy points out here:

I was saying I setup early because I do it when I have time as long as it is past remembrance day because that doesn't deserve to be overshadowed. The last part was asking you... If your following the idea of 12 days of Christmas does that mean you don't put anything up until right before Christmas and tear it all down shortly after new years.

I'm just not sure what to do with my Air Miles. I still have 8700 points. But I no longer use that CC so no longer really gaining points. Currently have a 30% points back deal on (up to 1500 points). And TBH I just can't see anything I really want. I check regularly all year. The Ninja Creami and the Breville pizza oven I grabbed and love them both. Just not sure what else to waste these points on.

Was one click away from grabbing a new Breville stand mixer. Which I don't need as I have an older one that still is sufficient.

iPad maybe? I don't use Apple and last tablet I had was an iPad Mini 1, like 15 years ago.

Pixel Buds Pro 2?

Wo is me.
