I have one of those around somewhere, actually I think I have two. Just last week it was a "Doesn't matter, plug it in since you know the generator should cover 4 basic appliances" heh

We've been blessed with pets that make good long runs. Churla - Dog - died of old age at almost 21 Pooh - cat - died of cancer at 17 Bailey - dog - died of mass on her pancreas that threw her into unexpected diabetic shock at 13 Lacy - died from complication of spinal degeneration (long haired...

This is Bordeaux... 15 year old random stuff mix breed. Adopted from shelter by @Mrs. Haus and I when she was around 8 months old. Spoilering the part you may or may not want to read...

I was given a 79 Monte Carlo as a hand my down when my grandfather bought my grandmother a new ride. It survived almost 2 years before my overly adventurous driving style outdid it's durability.... But by that point at least I build resistance to my own stupid impulses that my second car...

NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car. I thought that was basic enough rule 1 type shit that this video would be the norm, not on twitter. ;) In my family the assumption is that they will ALWAYS total their first car, usually within a year. I think as long as...

So.... In Texas you can get a title along with your name on your drivers license. I have to go in and get mine this year because it's been so long they want a new photo anyways. I have three possible titles I could use, two from the lovely folks at the Universal Life Church of Modesto...

NGL , those look like they'd be basic prints. If you end up needing more drop me a line, those have to be on an STL site somewhere. I know all my Ryobi brackets (which I printed for myself) were....

I find it adorable that the US thinks it will have a long term or really any significant way to stop countries like China from acquiring chips to do AI with... Especially since all China has to do it reassert ownership of a certain island "nation" next to it. heh I have said and still believe...

This experience has made me go learn a lot..... Yes, I'm seriously debating an interlock and better generator here at the house. But also this house has an older and horrible panel which I need to replace first, and the wife and I don't plan on living in this house more than another year or...

OK, so now going on 4 days without power I am slipping further and further into the rabbit hole of energy calculations... As mentioned elsewhere , I use the Ryobi 40v batteries for some of my lawn equipment (mower, string trimmer, and the recently acquired leave/crap vac/mulcher). They have...

In her car the it's in the fuel tank, AND the fuel tank sits above the rear axle. So there's a ton of work on that end. More labor than anything. I looked at doing it myself (I've changed out fuel pumps before) and when I saw the level of action it would require it quickly became a "has to be...

Yeah, that should be a good test. If the movie sticks to the Deadpool formula of "Give the fans what you know they want, and make it gratuitous while you do it" and see how it fares. I just don't like to throw the problems under the now all encompassing blanket of "They went too woke/DEI/the...

He's another goalie who has fallen in for that reverse cowgirl or whatever they're calling the fashionable new position.... The Stars are just lucky that we have one of the biggest goalies possible outside.. well.. you know... OTOH : Otter has his own Anime theme and opening.. I will also...

The AC unit has an "eco mode" which apparently is a lower power draw, lower output mode. It's ran all last summer on the same circuit with one of the fridges and the freezer, which has a 15 amp breaker on it, so I figured those three things together are under 15 amps. But you're right, I...

I am a simple dwarf of simple tastes.. what can I say.... And I have a wife who knows how to cook....

No backfeeding, just plugging shit in. I've been debating getting this house wired so I could do a backup generator on the actual wiring of the house, but I don't think we're going to be living here more than another year or so.....

This one has two outlet blocks (two sockets on each outlet, CGFI), and a 15a breaker for each one... It also has a 220 socket on it, which tells me it's running two rails.... hopefully

OK, question for those who are more familiar with generators and electrical in general than I am. If I have a generator (stand alone, small gas powered thing, like one would take camping, etc...) that I am using when my house is suddenly without power (thanks Texas weather). It says it's...

Haven't watched this yet, but every review from someone who does reviews I can trust seems to say the same thing. "A really good movie", with possibly the one gripe being "Stop advertising it as a Mad Max saga if you have no Mad Max in it (except possibly that shot at the end)". Sounds like...

Have a very early morning storm roll through... 80 MPH straight line winds... Exactly like the storm that ripped up our own enclosed patio room a while back (see home improvement thread for pics).. Terrifying the wife and animals.... multiple huge trees up and down our street laying on their...

We talk about the hard time finding someone who can even competently work on a car. Just had to have the fuel pump on my wife's car replaced and a crack on the exhaust header welded... A touch over $1200 to get that done. But it's a great shop that even by name is for "imports" but it turns...

Is that the mother of all F'ing biscuits there... damn..... Unrelated building I made in a game... At night those lights on top look down at me and tell me they're going to fling me into the far future where I will face the future where they have conquered the world....

NGL, a lot of it was finding what I felt was a solid bet ETF and sinking some money into it (URNM). Somewhere over in the general investing thread I think I did a post of what my general breakout was like. I need to clean and rebalancing it soon (I usually do that in January and July)...

Yeah, this is a very nice and good step forward. They're at their .3 release and getting a lot more polished. I suspect we have around 3 more months of updates every couple or three weeks to get to a real 1.0 release point. Once it hits that I'm going to do a playthrough and report back...

My non-jerk around non-daytrading account over the last year... v. the S&P and Nasdaq..

The idea of him sauntering (via CGI) onto the screen and starting off with a "Well... Well... Well..... " brings joy to my cold bitter heart.

Trying to explain the difference between regular season officiating and playoff officiating to my loving wife...

We all have dreams... This is from the Stars color commentator, Razor Reigh If you have not had a chance to listen to the local Stars team (Josh Bogorad and Daryl "razor" Reigh) you should check out the radio call of the games on www.theticket.com during the series. Time those up to the...

So this is Demi Moore's Adrenochrome use documentary?

Can definitely side with you on the animal segments. And how it did literally highlight the strange duality that farmers (and to a degree hunters) have to have where they love animals, and they also kill animals... And how those things aren't necessarily incongruent with one another. We just...

I was watching some analysis of that call after. And the general consensus (that I agree with) was that the refs realized they screwed it up, but the Situation room told them "You're not deciding a overtime playoff elimination game on a call reversal, deal with it.. Better hope Dallas still...

This one hits harder...

This is the key juncture where I would realize my child really wanted to try learning to play drums... and the best place to set up their beginner drum kit would, of course, be the back yard. Once they complain about the drums... well then he could stop that, and try out some type of horn...

You literally just described my wife... She watches MMO Champion just enough to know what mounts are coming in what patches and what she'll need to do to get them. The Traders Post in WoW essentially now guarantees her a reason to keep subbed and play some each month, which is Blizzard's holy...

Sister and brother in law move in with my mom to help take care of her... Then I find out neither has an income. They're in their late 40's early 50's. But because they "have to have nice things" they ping a rent to own place to bring out a new stove and have the gas stove which has been...

I swear the Japanese have a container for everything

Attach a strap to it and go over shoulder of cross body. It doesn't come with a strap, but if you look I believe there are a couple hook on points for one. So.. go tell your husband "If I'm going to use the big toys, I need to be able to strap them on". That should work out great.
