    If you put the breakers side by side you will have one from each leg. That's what the black and blue signifies in your diagram and as you can see they alternate as you go down the line. Yeah, you would have to turn the power off outside if you want to mess with those main lugs, but there...

    Yes, that's right. It should be no problem at all. Put a 60 amp in your current box, and a 35 and a 20 in the new box.

    I doubt that there will be any that go nowhere. You can combine a couple circuits and the worst that would happen is you would blow the breaker sometimes if you choose poorly. It's a cheesy thing to do though. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to replace the existing double breaker...

    Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

    Yeah, that's true. "This guy is the #2 book burner but he brought the skinny chick (who routinely betrays us btw) a book and kissed her so let's put the whole movement in his hands."

    This was my thought exactly. I think we were supposed to be sad when Dolores turned on Teddy but I a couldn't have cared less. That whole story line continues to feel completely pointless. There also seems to be a "girl power" theme to the show, but I just keep thinking that they're not...

    Oh, in that case I am super excited to hear your review, especially if you happen to remember which book you skimmed a little bit of.

    Why not just say that you read one book and don't remember it except that you didn't like it that much and don't know much about the other books and skip the debate about something you don't know anything about?

    Ayn Rand

    I do think that a lot of liberals have a knee-jerk reaction to Rand even though they have never read or heard anything she had to say but some English professor told them she was basically a nazi and also couldn't write and they never looked any further than that.

    Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

    I haven't read the book, but I thought the movie was so-so. Good acting by Jordan and of course Michael Shannon, and the girl was actually pretty good too. The technology was pretty corny and seemed like it was designed to remind us of Facebook and Amazon Echo. The main character's conversion...

    They're not my arguments so I'm not going to try to defend them, but i"ll link the videos I heard them in in case you're interested. I'm still planning to read it, but unfortunately books I'm "planning to read" is a whole section of my bookcase now. There's just too much good shit to consume...

    I own both a paper and an electronic copy of Atlas Shrugged but have not read either of them. I mean to one day along with a lot of other books, but I have heard Atlas Shrugged criticized by people I respect as 1000 pages of ideological propaganda and not actual art, albeit very well written...

    I'm mostly blaming it on Lauren. Every time there has been a chance to go after the big guys, she either bitched out or just went right to them and told them everything. Nobody else has really made a move, but it could well be because they couldn't do anything without Lauren and she refused to...

    I hate garages that just barely have room for the cars and nothing else. My grandparents old house that we rent out now is like that.

    Yeah, Donathan is clearly a moron. I can't fucking believe that nobody made any attempt to go after Wendell or Dom this week.

    Makita and Metabo are the main brands for angle grinders, although I think Dewalt has some good ones as well. If you're not likely to use it regularly though, the Harbor Freight special will probably do the job. You will go through a shitload of wheels cutting tile so if you get a 5" or 6" one...

    As a beef producer, I feel like a traitor for saying this, but I think some of the best bang for your buck at the meat counter is pork shoulder blade steaks. I think they taste much better than pork chops, but usually sell cheaper. I don't know why. Usually $1.89 a pound at my store even when...

    Swamp Donkey, Mom of the year.

    This is why all families should go to church, even if you're not religious. It's a great place to meet families with young kids who wouldn't mind an extra now and then or families with teenage daughters where you know their parents and thus can predict how responsible they will be.

    I give up on trying to read this whole thread, but that babysitter app seems like something that could easily turn into a way to find prostitutes. Is it possible to post an ad saying you need a sitter for zero kids and pay $300 an hour? EDIT: Oh, I got it. You post that you need a sitter for...

    My favorite way to make salmon is to season it with salt and pepper or better yet lemon pepper seasoning and then get a cast-iron pan nice and hot and then throw in a shitload of butter. It will smoke a little, don't let that scare you, but if it's smoking you need to get the salmon in there...

    Looking for electrical engineer/tech for help

    That looks pretty bad. If the board is burned that much there's a good chance there are traces that aren't conducting anymore. A board like that is more likely to be repairable than a modern board, but it's very difficult to diagnose without a schematic to know what you should be testing for...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    Country music on the radio has turned into horrible pop songs or even hip hop beats with ridiculously stupid lyrics, but it has given rise to people like Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price who play real country music and you can actually hear the instruments and they manage to sing...

    That video was very helpful. I would rather things would just be a little more clear to begin with, but I suppose it's sort of like reading Dostoevsky in a literature class where the teacher can point out the more subtle ideas as you go. Not to say that Westworld is great literature, but...

    If you read the story of Sun records, Sam Phillips founded it specifically to bring the blues sound to white people. He started the careers of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. It turned out to be a pretty good idea.

    I think the whole "never frozen" thing was just some marketing horseshit that Wendy's came up with and McDonald's just decided to play along. Freezing ground beef doesn't hurt it at all as far as I can tell.
