I'm not prepared to call that bluff. Our investment guy has been so good there's no way I'm willing to give up that relationship.

I don't think you're being unreasonable, but if they know or suspect that you aren't going anywhere, be prepared for the bad lazy service to continue.  Big banks are one of those entities that like to promote how great their "app" is, and tend to be run by people with an IT focus who work from home and have a big helping of disdain for the "old school" virtue of actual customer service, which is the domain of "dinosaurs." 

Sorry, that other thread has me worked up.

A super fast search of available products says "suitable for metal and plastic pipes."  What's the concern?

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

My luck, mainly. I could certainly see putting heat tape on a plastic pipe only for it to melt because berkeley me, why should anything in this house be easy?

In reply to RevRico :

I mean, theoretically, you could heat a plastic pipe hot enough to boil the water inside.  The fluid in the pipe would absorb (some of) the heat.  Of course, pvc isn't a great thermal conductor, so you'd probably melt the outside of the pipe somewhat.

The above statement should not be construed as an invitation to try such a harebrained experiment.

I doubt a heat tape would get hot enough to melt plastic unless it malfunctioned.  Badly.

Please note this advice is worth precisely what you paid for it. 

Edit:  I think boiling water in a paper cup might support this theory.

Is there a way to browse Facebook Marketplace without having an account? I'm seriously considering closing my account but still want to browse vehicles for sale. 

I haven't done this in a while because I finally made an account for buying stuff, but it used to be that if you have a link to a particular item you can view that item without logging in.  Then you can search for other stuff from there.

The question is if you want to buy something, how do you get in touch?  My facebook outsourcer (Mrs Hotel) got tired of that so I ended up making an account.  I am a nerd so I made it on a VM that I only use for doing facebook.
