Can you explain what you mean? I fail to see how the type of water heater he is using has an impact on his well system. A pressure tank is there so that the well pump only needs to run occasionally to pressurize the tank, which then draws down as water (hot or cold) is used in the house. When...

I dunno why, but this jackass's facial expressions reminds Luca Magnotta for some reason.

Yeah, pressure tank is the problem. Does it have a diaphragm or bladder? Might be ruptured. Or it might be as simple as adding some air to the tank so it's not water logged, if it doesn't have a bladder/diaphragm.

Basically any business has shares, bro. They're just not traded on open markets.

Make sure whoever you book with, that they're legit. I went on a trip with 8 other people to hike the Inca Trail, and one guy who'd been down there twice before booked us with the guide he'd had the previous times who had started his own company. To make a very long story short, I humped my ass...

If you're feeling like crossing the border, you could go try some downhill mountain biking at Fernie. It's a fun little ski town. Maybe check out the Frank Slide area (Frank Slide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There's a shit ton of good camping and hiking in Southern BC that's only a...

To be fair, I'm pretty goddamn lazy. Shit bro, I've been to Jamaica twice in the past year! I'm not Inuit! Blame Dave Chapelle.

Cool. I'm going to personally take it upon myself to report every offensive racial or sexual epithet posted on these boards. Or are you on the record that "American Inventor" is the only one that applies? Also, is n-gger okay? Wakandan?

Nope! But generally it's pretty obvious. Is it Silence harassing Lyrical? Then probably racist.

How much of the profits get paid out, if any, is entirely up to the majority shareholders. Hell, depending on how things are set up even if they decide to pay out some or all of the profits, unless it's actually in the corporate bylaws (which you'd have no control over) there's no requirement...

If someone's truly being racist and trying to bait or insult someone of that race, fine, ban or infract them. If it's a harmless joke like that, who gives a fuck? I'm an equal opportunity racist in that respect, I find all racial jokes highly amusing. Holocaust jokes are probably my favorites...

Going to Sonic Boom, which is a local radio station's music festival. They haven't had great lineups in the past, but this year they've knocked it out of the park for a smallish festival:SONiC BOOM 2014 | Lineup

You're a complete fucking moron. As has been pointed out by several people, the "average" gamer is in their mid 30's. And the majority of growth these days is coming from casual and mobile gaming, NOT ultra hardcore, time-sink oriented MMORPG's. The facts speak for themselves: no one's making...

Finally went on my first bike ride on Tuesday. Went with a buddy who is damn near a semi-pro XC racer, he's both in very good shape and also a very skilled biker. I'm not very skilled, and I'm in terrible shape. Did my best to keep up with him for a couple hours, and had a lot of fun. On the...

The BP spill's costs are somewhere in the mid tens of billions. Fukushima is going to be in the hundreds of billions when it's all said and done, including decommissioning the reactor. That's an order of magnitude, bro.

See, that's just plain funny! But seriously, are people going to be infracted if they post a dropped Civic with a huge spoiler and call it a Rice Rocket? Maybe the language isn't as loaded, but it's every bit as racist.

One the one hand, Boston getting eliminated is going to cost me a lot of money. On the other, Boston got eliminated. Call it a draw.

Christ, do we have to revisit this whole thing again? It's the context that matters. I don't know the context of kudos' usage, so I can't really comment. But how is the word American Inventor any worse or different than faggot or Faulty Armor, both of which have been used in this thread? Faggot repeatedly. We've...

Crosby had 82 points in his first 62 playoff games the first 4 times they made it. The past 3 times he has 32 points in 33 games. It's hard to criticize a guy getting a point a game, but when he's the supposed "best player in the world", he has to maintain a higher standard than that. He's not...

Half a dozen friends just went there a month ago, as Iceland Air just started direct flights out of Edmonton. They loved it, but I don't really have any specifics.

It really depends on how things are set up, and if the majority shareholders are going to be assholes about things. Our family has had a long term minority partner in the business for 20+ years, and it's been pretty damn good for him. He gets a bonus based upon his percentage ownership, no...

Another interesting planet finding:Giant planet around dwarf star a surprising discovery - Technology Science - CBC News

Let's see who this jackass is:About Ben Davidson - The S0s Maybe he could give some tips on my slice. As far as his opinions on climate change go? I couldn't care one bit less. Every indication is that this guy is a complete fucking crackpot.

Cool. Then I'm sure that doubling or tripling the fuel tax overnight would go over much better with the voting populace. For reference: It's weird that all those countries above the US actually have transit systems worth half a shit, and think that commuting 60 miles to work borders on...

heh, no shit. I've been playing Dragon Age Origins for the better part of a year. I might find the time to put in a 2 hour session once or twice a week, at this point. But really, that's what the whole EQ nostalgia thing comes down to: most of the people wanting a return to EQ's ethos are...

A bunch of Americans complaining about the cost of driving is downright hilarious. Some people have said "yeah well transit sucks" and that you have "no choice" about commuting. Have you ever wondered how the low cost of driving single occupant vehicles has influenced the built form of your...

Oh, I also came across this:WATCH: SpaceX Completes Controlled Falcon 9 Landing - TIME The link has a video of a test landing. He's The Man, seriously.

This is pretty neat:Planet portrait captured by Gemini Planet Imager is the best ever - Technology Science - CBC News And to think, this is from a ground based telescope. From the sounds of it, the controlled descent aspect has been working fine. I'm not sure if that's the biggest hurdle or...

All of these events are an order of magnitude less than Fukushima, in terms of costs. Thanks for reinforcing the point.

I don't think you need PlexPass for that. I haven't paid for PlexPass and I can stream fine to my Android devices over the cell network or on other WiFi networks. I did have to pay for the Plex App on Play, but that was it. Now if I could just find an ISP that would give me better than 3mbps...

Burger King shits were the worst for me. Dunno what the fuck it was, but I've eaten it twice, and both times within 90 minutes I've had huge stomach cramping and massive poops.

No one wants to see a movie about fucking carpentry, for christ's sake. You can't take a Biblical story like Noah and then make it as mundane as possible, because that fits better with what little story there is or modern beliefs about how ridiculous the story itself is. The director took the...

Yeah, I finished the last season with the girlfriend last week, and we were both like "well, that entire season was fucking atrocious". The sentimental, sappy parts came across so fucking poorly, it was just awful. Total abortion.

I put air in my tires last week. Then it was 3C with 30mph winds and snow on Saturday. So nope, no riding yet. Probably will tomorrow morning, gotta drop my car off in the morning and ride to work, but it's only like 7-8 km of flat, boring riding. 24 Hours of Adrenaline in July is probably...

The point you don't seem to be getting is that even if the accidents are exceedingly rare, the consequences are incredibly severe. It only takes one really bad one to really, really fuck up a large land area and/or population. Which is why caution needs to be taken. Again, I'm not arguing that...

I thought Taco Time was actually a Canadian chain? Taco Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Guess not. But definitely a NW US thing, which pretty much makes it Canadian.

Same bro, high five! Only exception to the rule is when she gets hungry. Then she gets a bit cranky. But not all-out pick fights cranky. More of a passive-aggressive cranky where it's actually kind of funny from my perspective.

My Weber was handed down to me by my parents, it was bought in October 1987. For the past 10 years it's been sitting on my patio, which has absolutely zero shelter (on the roof of a 5 story building), and since a wind storm about 7 years ago, I haven't had a cover for it. It's got a couple rust...

Are you mentally retarded? Right in the fucking post of mine that you quoted I said this: "As far as etchazz's stupid posts go, no,I didn't hate EQ. I had a lot of fun playing it for a few years.But a lot of that fun was entirely in spite of McQuaid and other's efforts and vision for the game...

Yeah. It's incredibly basic, basically just says that my parents get to decide what to do with my shit, and if they're not around, then my bro/sis can figure it out. Also have a personal directive and power of attorney type shit in there. Basically states "pull the plug on this asshole, maybe...
