Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-08-14

Final complete day: 2026-08-14. Attention was 0.6% — this entity appeared in 40 of 6,299 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (51 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   Carry the load to the ceiling above, either directly, or to the grid for appearance, and from the grid to the ceiling. It's not much weight. You don't have to go nuts. Just a little wire and screws.

   The tough part about water intrusion from the exterior is that it can be incredibly difficult to pinpoint. You've addressed the obvious, but there are non-obvious sources as well. To give an example, I had a two story structure where water was showing up on the bottom floor in a closet. No leaks in the drain lines or supply lines and it would show up a day or two after heavy rain. Checked and patched the roof, sealed all windows and cracks etc. Still happened. Replaced the roof and some gutters and it still happened. Turns out one of the downspouts was clogged somewhere in the middle and was leaking some water out right where one of the downspouts braces was and one of the screws holding it was missing leaving a small unsealed hole. That water traversed inside the structure until it made its way out in a closet about 12 feet away from the leak. One the leak was fixed, this never happened again. You can do penetration tests by spraying water with different color dyes in different areas to see which color makes it through. This is an involved process but should be able to identify where water is coming from. Another thing to note is that stucco by itself is not waterproof. Stucco is porous. It's actually the paint on the exterior of the stucco that makes it waterproof. So check for any patches of missing paint or cracks in the paint. But if your paper is wet and the framing isn't, then at least your paper is holding up and doing its job. How crazy is it that the house has to depend on paper to survive?

   Sounds like it is a skirted toilet. If you're lucky, the bolts/screws at the back of the seat should have a corresponding nut that is firmly attached to the toilet bowl. I had to deal with one of these just last weekend to install a bidet. If you're not lucky, you may need to pull the whole toilet up to access the nuts. As others have said, including an Imgur link to a photo would help you get better answers.

   Can you feel around the underside of the toilet below where the screws are sitting? There might be two nuts there keeping it in place.

   Toilet seat screws? - I want to begin by asking smart alecks to please not comment on how the young generation is lazy or dumb. Thank you. I have a nee (old) house. I have only ever had toilets where I could access the back to unscrew the bolts to replace the toilet seats. This one does not. It has just like 2 bolts set into the porcelain with no access. It looks to me like they need a wrench to unscrew? Is that a possibility? I cannot find a way to attach an image unfortunately and would appreciate any help or advice!
