    Car ?'s

    There might be more than one bulb in there. I'd start with the bulbs and hope it's not some weird gremlin in the wiring.

    Yes. Just because the outlet you are using isn't a GFI doesn't necessarily mean that it's not protected by one elsewhere in the circuit.

    Pray that she had a thorough and up to date will. This sort of thing happens all the time in farm/ranch families and when it goes bad, it can get really ugly. We made it through my grandparents dying with a lot less drama than there could have been, but it still resulted in some of my Mom's...

    I have finally gotten my family trained that they better not call me for tech support on anything if they haven't already at least tried turning it off and back on again first.

    Smartphones

    I've posted this before, but my mom, brother, sister, and sister-in-law all have G5s or G6s and like them a lot. Those phones really make it hard to see what you're paying 3 times the price for with a flagship phone.

    I did my homework. I drove halfway across town to get to a place that some internet expert said was the best place in Philly. I think it was Jim's Steaks. Still wasn't impressed. I'm sure opinions vary on what is the best, but I didn't just walk into a random place.

    There's a chain in the Bay Area called the Cheese Steak Shop that I used to go to all the time. When I actually went to Philadelphia and had a cheese steak I was very disappointed and always felt like the ones I got in CA were better.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    I think you're getting a little carried away there. Eli is 6th all time in passing yards, 7th all time in touchdowns, 11th all time in wins, and won two superbowls. He's a hall of famer for sure. Blake Bortles will never get close to any of that. That doesn't mean he's good now, but you're...

    I would build a giant shop, like 250' x 250'. Woodworking in one corner, welding/blacksmithing in one corner, machining in one corner, and auto mechanics in one corner, with every tool imaginable, CNC shit etc. Then I would hire a guy who knows how to do all that shit and we would just hang...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    Yeah I'm having a hard time thinking of an overtly political Tool song. I am very tired of every musician thinking that writing a song about Donald Trump is somehow accomplishing something besides making their music worse.

    I have a hard time believing that if they were actually writing a good album, they would still be working on it 5 years after they started saying it was coming out.

    I will never understand why when 3 phase is an outlet with 3 hot wires that are out of phase and a 240 outlet is 2 hot wires that are out of phase, they call the 240 outlet single phase. That seems like it should be considered 2-phase.

    I'm not the type of pussy to let a $15 frying pan tell me what utensils I can or can't use. I'll use what I want and if that bitch ass pan can't handle it it can go into the garbage. They have more at Walmart.

    I have a 43 gallon tank with African cichlids that I have had continuously for 15+ years. I go back and forth between upgrading and really getting into and taking down the one I have. Luckily African cichlids are low maintenance and tough as shit so it's not a lot of work and if you neglect...

    It's not that it's in the food. You can scrape the coating off if you use metal utensils, but it doesn't hurt you to eat it. In early non-stick pans there was an acid that was carcinogenic in the coating that could become aerosolized and be inhaled while cooking, but that was not from cooking...

    Better Call Saul

    If there's that much room up there then the transit is technically possible, but that would mean he had to jump up and grab something on the ceiling, which would be 12-14 feet off the floor level which is obviously impossible for men who have not been bitten by a radioactive spider.

    29 degrees won't bother it much. It was literally -20F when I did my first cook on my Yoder last year and it got the job done.

    I thought putting my porn mags in the dropped ceiling was such a clever idea. Probably every teenage boy with a dropped ceiling in his room did it. That frame wouldn't hold 50 lbs, let alone a grown man, and generally the gap to the floor joists is just the width of an air duct, 12-14"...

    I'm with you 100%. Sous Vide lets you cook a steak pretty well with no skill, but if you just actually learn how to grill steaks, you can get equal or better results without bringing out the science gadget and wasting 2 hours. I have an Annova that I bought on prime day because it was half...

    Didn't Mike go to great lengths to avoid killing Tuco in S2? And Tuco is a total piece of shit.

    Why air tools? I have a couple that I never use. Really restricts what you can do if you have to stay within 25 feet of an air source and you have to listen to a loud assed air compressor all the time. If you live near a rural area, farm auctions are another great place to get tools.

    Probably so, but when you know one is better, and the price difference is negligible, it seems like a no-brainer if you're not already invested in the other line. Definitely shop sales to get started though, they all have deals all the time to try to entice you into their ecosystem, and a lot...
