1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

The bathroom sink stopper has been slipping lately and found out why when i was cleaning the sink. Pulled out the ball joint/pivot rod and found it had completely rusted through.

Bought a new plastic tipped joint rod but now there is a very subtle leak that comes through the ball joint so now I'm needing to replace the rubber and nylon washers. The whole assembly is pretty old and rusted but id prefer not to replace the tailpiece

Anything is a sound if you're brave enough

Replacing the washers fixed the leak!

Good on ya fella. If u hadnt responded with a fix I would have told u not to waste your time mixing and matching. Usually more efficient to just replace the whole assemble. These items are generally not very universal between manufactures and after market parts.
