    That ac unit alone is probably taking half of its capacity so I wouldn't try to plug more into it. You're going to get about 25 amps out of that thing so if each fridge/freezer is drawing 5 and the AC is drawing 10 you're pretty maxed out. They might be less than that depending on how new...

    The new gestures are good once you get used to them. I've been using them forever and when I pick up a family member's Android phone I'm super annoyed that they aren't there.

    Car ?'s

    There's a simpler version that's been around for years... Yes they are only useful for tandem axle trailers but they are tits when you have a flat on a trailer full of cows and unloading them along the side of the road isn't really an option. Very much more secure than keeping a trailer...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    No kidding, and when you do have time off you're going to want to go on vacation and such, not stay home and take care of the kids so your wife can make $5k a month working a shift at the hospital as a nurse or something.

    I too spend somewhere around 50% of my time looking for tools. Often tools that were in my hand minutes before they became "lost" for 10 minutes. Tools, on the other hand, are an end in themselves, not an expense. Just the happiness caused by hanging a new tool in your garage is worth the...

    It's insanity. And unlike drywall or tile or something, painting isn't that difficult. Watch a few hours of YouTube videos and you can get good results as an amateur.

    Man, that's insane. I guess there's a shortage of painters around or something. Can't imagine charging that much for a job that 2 guys could do in like 3 days. Painting isn't even particularly hard or require a lot of equipment.

    I think that's code for "We don't want this job but we will do it if you are desperate enough to massively overpay for it."

    I wouldn't put the wire through the roof. Just run it down the peak or one of the hips depending on what kind of roof you have and then put it through under the eaves.

    Death and... Taxes.

    Taxes on inheritance is generally only on big money unless you live in one of the few states that have one. Federal estate tax doesn't kick in until $13.6M. States vary but most states don't have it at all.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why, God, why do I still participate in this message board? Writing stories with characters who are abused in various ways does not mean you are a pedophile. If you're paying attention, kids being abused by their dad's isn't exactly rare. If you're writing tons of books about fucked up...

    Do we need @Soygen to rule on whether lasagna with white sauce is actually lasagna and whether it's a better or worse offense than using cottage cheese in place of ricotta?

    I was aware of ASoIaF for years and I refused to read it because I had already been burned by Wheel of Time and to a lesser extent The Dark Tower books. I made a rule then that I would not read any more series until they were finished. After S1 of the show came out, I broke my rule and read...

    Me either. I don't know what fans are "obsessed" with this book but they should get a life. I don't know whether the way things turned out was his idea and now he's retconning to try to find a story the fans will like better or if he just knows one ending that will anger the fans and he's...

    It's because for a while in the 70's being a creepy pedophile was cool. I remember Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew did like a whole hour on creepy lyrics from music in the 70's.

    Most of the time it's not necessary but I pulled out the pressure washer last summer and it wouldn't start. Took the bowl off the carburetor and it was full of the nastiest yellow slime I've ever seen. Had to drain the tank and clean everything.

    I'm no expert but I've been having fun with my Mini 3 Pro. It's so easy to fly I felt totally comfortable handing the controller to an 8 year old to play around with. The screen built into the controller is hugely better than dorking around with your phone.

    It's interesting seeing the location of ads when you're on satellite internet. For some reason your IP or whatever shows your location as where the signal comes back down to earth instead of where it actually originated from. For a long time all my podcast ads were for Chicago, which is 1000...

    Something I didn't realize about butter is that if it's made with raw milk from a cow that's actually eating grass, it is bright yellow without adding any coloring. They only add annatto now to cover up the fact that the cows these days are not getting good nutrition and it shows in the...
