oday is Thursday, March 19, the 79th day of 2020. There are 287 days left in the year. Spring arrives at 11:50 p.m. EDT, the earliest the vernal equinox has occurred in 124 years.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 19, 1966, the Texas Western Miners defeated the heavily favored Kentucky Wildcats, 72-65, to win the NCAA Championship played in College Park, Maryland; making the contest especially noteworthy was that Texas Western became the first basketball team to start five black players in a national title game as it faced an all-white Kentucky squad.
On this date:
In 1687, French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, the first European to navigate the length of the Mississippi River, was murdered by mutineers in present-day Texas.
In 1917, a divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Wilson v. New, upheld, 5-4, the eight-hour work day for interstate railroad workers.
In 1931, Nevada Gov. Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalizing casino gambling.
In 1945, during World War II, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan (the ship was saved). Adolf Hitler ordered the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands in his so-called “Nero Decree,” which was largely disregarded.
In 1953, the Academy Awards ceremony was televised for the first time; “The Greatest Show on Earth” was named best picture of 1952.
In 1977, the series finale of “Mary Tyler Moore” aired on CBS-TV, ending the situation comedy’s seven-season run.
In 1979, the U.S. House of Representatives began televising its floor proceedings; the live feed was carried by C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network), which was making its debut.
In 1987, televangelist Jim Bakker resigned as chairman of his PTL ministry organization amid a sex and money scandal involving Jessica Hahn, a former church secretary.
In 1993, Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White announced plans to retire. (White’s departure paved the way for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to become the court’s second female justice.)
In 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq. (Because of the time difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.)
In 2013, Pope Francis officially began his ministry as the 266th pope, receiving the ring symbolizing the papacy and a wool stole exemplifying his role as shepherd of his 1.2-billion strong flock during a Mass at the Vatican.
In 2014, Toyota agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle an investigation by the U.S. government, admitting that it had hidden information about defects that caused Toyota and Lexus vehicles to accelerate unexpectedly, resulting in injuries and deaths.
-
Ten years ago: The White House released an online video of President Barack Obama making a fresh appeal directly to the people of Iran, saying a U.S. offer of diplomatic dialogue still stood, but that the Tehran government had chosen isolation.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama ordered the federal government to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by nearly half over the next decade, driving his climate change agenda forward despite percolating challenges from Republican-led states. Days after winning reelection, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backtracked from hardline campaign statements against the establishment of a Palestinian state in the face of a diplomatic backlash. Lindsey Vonn won the final super-G of the season and with it her 19th crystal globe trophy at the World Cup finals in Meribel, France. Songwriter Michael Brown, 65, who co-wrote the 1966 hit “Walk Away Renee,” died in Englewood, New Jersey.
One year ago: President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the late Sen. John McCain, who had died in 2018 of brain cancer; Trump told reporters, “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.” Aid workers rushed to rescue victims clinging to trees and crammed on rooftops after a cyclone unleashed devastating floods in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi; more than 350 people were confirmed dead with hundreds missing. In a major advance against the Islamic State group, U.S.-backed Syrian forces seized control of an encampment held by the group in eastern Syria after hundreds of militants surrendered overnight.

Rheumatologist Day at 8am.

There are zero cases confirmed. Doesn't mean there are zero cases, since the vast majority of people with this thing have likely not been identified, due to the shortage of test kits.

Toilet update for those interested - went to Lowe's yesterday (and used sanitizer when I left!) and got a new fill valve. Now I can't get the line from the wall to sit properly on the new valve, because it is metal instead of flexible, and it apparently came with the house, since it's fused into the wall good. Gonna try to WD40 it and see if that will loosen it so I can replace it, but if not, I'll have to put in a call to my plumber friend.

My toilet is from 1932. My wife loves the "charm" of said toilet. I seem to be the only one who knows how to flush it without making the water continue running afterwards.
I have replaced the fill valve a bunch of times and it is a band-aid. About a year later, I need to replace it again. The toilet is so inefficient that I'd rather just swap the whole thing out all together.

Before you start wrenching on that valve I recommend you turn off the water to the house in case you break it off. Just sayin'.

Lift the tank lid and do a show and tell. Maybe that will help them understand. Tell them it's that or you're replacing the toilet. Besides, if it's one of those old "small" toilets those suck anyway.

The water to that pipe has already been shut off, naturally. But I'm not going to go full bore on it. Not even sure I could, because there's precious little space between the toilet and the corner.

The thing is, it LOOKS like it's seated in there properly when I screw it on. That just doesn't seem to translate when I turn the water back on. But I was done fukkin' with it yesterday. I'll give it another try at some point.

Yeah, that's above my pay grade. That's why I'm happy to have a friend from high school who's a plumber now.

That may be sweated on? If it is like fish said you can put on a compression fitting and go to a flexible connect. Obviously shut off water first. You will need to cut it back with a small tubing cutter or if you don't have one a hack saw blade.

Gonna try to WD40 it and see if that will loosen it so I can replace it, but if not, I'll have to put in a call to my plumber friend.
They make a bender for those rigid tube feeds so you can get proper seating
The thing is, it LOOKS like it's seated in there properly when I screw it on. That just doesn't seem to translate when I turn the water back on. But I was done fukkin' with it yesterday. I'll give it another try at some point.
The rigid ones are a pain in the ass (heh-heh) should just buy a flex
If I can get it off the damn wall, I definitely will.

If the water's off I'd cut-off the shut-off valve and replace the whole assembly with a compression fitting and flex line
Yeah, that's above my pay grade. That's why I'm happy to have a friend from high school who's a plumber now.
Have fishy do it. He'll put up some crown molding while he's there.

Toilet update for those interested - went to Lowe's yesterday (and used sanitizer when I left!) and got a new fill valve. Now I can't get the line from the wall to sit properly on the new valve, because it is metal instead of flexible, and it apparently came with the house, since it's fused into the wall good.

That may be sweated on? If it is like fish said you can put on a compression fitting and go to a flexible connect. Obviously shut off water first. You will need to cut it back with a small tubing cutter or if you don't have one a hack saw blade.
