Call a plumber.
If I was any dumber, I could have been a plumber! (Apologies to my plumber S I L)
“What causes the sound of a dripping tap—and how do you stop it?”
It makes an excellent means of torture. Democrats would object though.
Most faucets have cartridges that are fairly easy to replace. Your faucet cartridges is leaking.
That's ONE way to fix a leaky faucet :-)
Fischer is the worst...there Chinese cartridges change all the time so you may not be able to find a replacement.
Uh, you replace the washer.
It takes a government grant and years of study followed by another government grand and more years of study.
I must be a simpleton. Thinking the sound was from the drop hitting the bottom of the sink, or something in the sink, was sufficient for me.
Earplugs
If you need to stop the sound of a drip from driving you crazy but you can’t get it fixed right away, letting it drop into a Chore Boy scouring pad will silence it.
Self-sufficient men fix it by replacing the cartridge or washer. Liberals fix it by calling a plumber.
Did ANYONE read the article?
Ahhhh...the topic I’ve waited years for - since 1998 - on Free Republic...the mystery of the dripping faucet.
Now I’m considered “edumacated”....;^D
Call your congressman. Chew his ass. It won’t fix it along with anything else they do but atleast you can berate an idiot.
The scientists were not trying to fix a faucet. They were simply trying to find the mechanism that results in the sound of dripping water.
And they found it. Is that useful information? Probably not but you never know. That just how science works. The scientists discover a phenomenon and the engineers find a way to use it to build useful gadgets.
So enough of the snarky one liners that I personally just skip over. Way too much of that on FR these Days.
It’s not really dripping. It’s all in your mind. Focus on the sound. Again it comes. Again. Attempt to stand that constant drip. Deep breath. Think of all of your problems and how they keep coming like that steady drip. Think of how annoying it is and how you might pick up that knife over there and just go completely nuts and stab everyone on the sidewalk if it doesn’t stop. And it doesn’t stop. The constant drip chills the spine. Your skin crawls. There is the knife. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......
Thanks for posting...
This will get me through
The Weekend.
A new washer? Duh.
How many of my taxpayer dollars were wasted on this?
Sounds like I need a million dollar grant to study
Have the Mensa bright lights considered fixing the leak?
all the other research topics taken?
