My guess, and it is just a guess... it's a storm water control system being used as a basement drain, possibly flowing into the sewer line.

I've seen older houses where someone cut into the basmeny floor directly into a sewer line to put in a basement drain.

Based on you saying water was in there when it was raining, someone might have cut into the storm water mitigation line for a basement drain. Then someone tiled the floor and put a vent over the hole because that's what they found that fits.

With older houses, a lot of times, the storm water system was tied directly into the main sewer. If that's what this is, I'd be concerned about sewer gasses coming up from it.

Again, with only seeing one picture, it's just a guess.

Edit: It could also just be a cleanout for the storm water drain too.

Cat's don't shoot lasers from their eyes, either, but here we are, Carl. Mama needs a night off.

In the eternal words of my mulleted friend, Holger. You done stuck your pecker in the wrong beehive.

I had an intern tell me about some of the computers her dad has kept from "the turn of the century." My mind went to 1900 before realizing what she meant.

You mean protesters in uniform?

Continue reading.

Sodium Hydroxide, when exposed to Carbon Dioxide (already in the air), combines to become Sodium Carbinate.

NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O

Sodium Carbinate then reacts with water and more Carbon Dioxide to become Sodium Bicarbinate, which is baking soda.

Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NaHCO3

Not only does a Sodium Oxyde fuel cell produce electricity, it takes CO2 out of the atmosphere.

From a physics and chemistry point of view, it's pretty cool. I'm curious how well it scales though.

Me too, but it has nothing to do with Facebook. Don't kink shame me.

Depends which part of myself I'm talking to. If it's just a general conversation, it's "we." If it's more of a direct conversation to a part of my mind, it's "you." If I'm talking about myself to a third-party, such as this response, it's "I."

If the AI overlord wanted me to, I'd do it for a magical pedicure kit and a toe ring of the Splatter Skunk."Time to pay the daddy tax," as Princess Donut said

Ran into a couple small bugs on xbox.

When making a potion the game crashed. After repeating it multiple times, I figured out that it only happened when mixing a stolen and non stollen ingredient. I have not retested since the last update.

Prior to the update, I could not create an enchanted item with a static effect at frostcrag spire. For example, a ring with nighteye. I could create one with detect life because it was a magnitude selector. This bug went away after the update.
