If anyone has an invite to IPT, I'd be grateful. Got caught up with stuff and let a near decade old account drop.

Hey all, I have a two part question regarding getting started finishing my basement. 1. My house had an exterior drain tile installed when it was built. I put an interior drain tile in as well around the perimeter as you can see in the photo. The top part of the channel sticks above the...

Sure you can. I have it on mine. It's generally not a huge amount - usually enough to pay for funeral expenses, etc.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious driving through the neighborhood who had this done. One side of the house where the feed line comes in has multiple wires running up the siding into different rooms, and it's fucking ugly as sin.

Any chance to try a different PSU?

Guy on reddit posted this awhile ago saying he was going to fake out his son on Christmas.

Chalk this up to the universe telling me to get my shit straight, but... A few days before Thanksgiving, I was having a real shit day at work - basically wondering why the fuck the day went to hell. I was parked on the street in my company car pondering this fucked up day when a small...

Yeah, you don't want any Westinghouse electronics - especially TVs.

Test drove this one yesterday. Salesman told me to punch it on the straightaways and some S curves. Do want.

We've been looking for an eventual upgrade from our Keurig. I was actually about to junk it last week due to it not working, but found out a nozzle was just plugged from grounds - so it's still chugging along. But yeah, the only downside is I'm always glued to Slickdeals for K-Cup deals...

It will if too much is applied. I usually wipe on a decent amount, and then make three or four passes with a dry paper towel each time to soak up excess and leave a very thin film.

For cleaning, use baby oil. We've always had a bottle of baby oil around from the kids. I usually clean any stainless steel with my regular cleaner and then rub it over with baby oil to restore it to a nice shine. Olive oil works, too, but baby oil is cheap.

Yeah. I'd have to drop $500+ to outfit the house, and they only last seven years. Maybe just one to place where my CO detector is now.

Love it. I was an early adopter and got the v1.0 when it was released, now there's v2.0 that can handle multi-staged systems, radiant flooring, etc. I was attracted to the simplistic, elegant design and the intuitive interface. It emails me every month detailing my energy usage and keeps...

Already have a Nest thermostat. Now they have a smoke/CO alarm in the works. Probably outfit the house with these as well. Nest Smoke/CO Alarm

I'm guessing you'd need a good amount of space between everything to avoid excessive heat buildup. This may lead to having the TV sit out from the wall farther than desired.

Oh - roundabouts. I don't give a fuck that they are there, I just seethe with hatred when the ignoramous in front me stops and waits for all traffic to disappear before entering. Hurrr. Oh and I usually get honked at for using it correctly since the guy I merged in front of thinks he needs...

Also had a Cavalier through college. Head gasket leaked. General pain in the ass. And, like you, the reason I'll never buy American again.

Do not fly Spirit. Their tickets 'appear' cheapest, but they reap back all that lost money on everything. Everything. Baggage -$$$, Snacks -$$$. I would never fly them personally, but I was booked on a corporate ticket for work due to their 'lowest fare' policy. By the time the company...

AllAdvantage. One of the first 'paid to surf' sites. It recorded mouse movements/clicks iirc. Soon after it launched people wrote mouse macros to mimic mouse movement.

Amazing episode - definitely raw and full of emotion. Being a dad and seeing Holly used as a pawn brought on the feels.

Any nice hotels downtown that aren't outrageously expensive? I've traveled to DC for work and stayed at the Comfort Inn Convention Center. It was nice just to be close to everything, but damn if the hotel isn't more expensive than the airfare.

We have a 2007 RAV4, purchased new. It's just shy of 100k miles, and we've had zero problems with it. I want to say we've replaced the tires around 60-70k and the front brakes around 80kish. Other than those expenses, everything else is routine maintenance every 5k. We got the 4 cylinder...

The madmen in Ro/Oasis said the copper thing, too. Freaky the first time you heard it since everything else was pretty silent.

While it's more plausible to think Walt is initiating a hit out on Jesse or Hank, he could be setting up a hit on himself. Something along the lines of the uncle or Meth Damon 'kills' him, maybe spreading the rumor Walt refused to cook again and was killed because of that. Jesse could either...

That was the only time I've seen it drop. I did manage find myself at the ruins again during the fabled events, and she dropped the fabled GBS. Definitely the stuff of nightmares.

And probably of everything I remember of EQ, nothing left its memory more than camping Pyzjn. The Glowing Black Stone was the stuff of legend, and seeing someone with a glowing red fist made me green with envy. I studied that camp routine for weeks, if not more. I would sit in class and surf...

It was back in 2000 when a guy I worked with at the time would not shut the fuck up about this game he was playing. Talking to me for hours about 'plat' and 'trains in Mistmoore' etc. Finally I grabbed the game off the shelf, and for $29 thought I'd give it a go. I started on Morell Thule...

Watching Walter over the entire series, he's always seemed to be able to peel himself away from Heisenberg and become Walter again when doing stuff with his family and other day-to-day things any normal person would do. But holy fuck, watching him talk to junior about his cancer and manipulate...

It's a large leap, but Saul asked Jesse for the weed, but he put it right back in his pocket. Then when Jesse was leaving he bumped into Huell, and I'm guessing Huell lifted the weed off him and put the cigarettes back. He figured out something happened between the time he had the ricin...

We're looking to add a deck to the house this spring. Nothing fancy, somewhere around a 14x16 cedar with stairs (2nd story) and gate. We had one estimate done already, and was quoted $6,700. I was expecting maybe half that. We have another guy coming in for an estimate in a few days. Is...

Turned the TV on today only to find I had almost no channels. Did a little research and found about how the FCC is now allowing encryption of basic/local HD channels, and Comcast wasted no time implementing this. But I can rent an adapter to watch said channels. I guess it's PBS and Univision...

2007 Rav4 Owner here. We bought it new and have had zero problems. It currently has 91k miles on it. OEM tires lasted until the 70-80k range, had them replaced in 2011. OEM brakes lasted until this year, had them replaced today. I'm pretty religious with maintenance and whatnot, so she...

Since you have some experience with basements, I have a few questions for you: 1.) My house was built in 2010 with a French drain system. The basement is currently unfinished. Last spring we had about nine inches of rain over a day or so. Most of the foundation wall was dry except the...

Anyone see this yet? I know it's a limited released until February/March. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mostly for Walken. His demeanor was a pleasant change of pace from his regular acting. Stand Up Guys

It's coming to Live / PS3 this quarter, and should be developed for beyond the initial release.

For those with IPT, I have a question when invites are generated. I've been with them just over a month, and the system auto-upgraded me to power user a few days ago. When should my account be granted with one?

Good to know, thanks. They have always been decent with me. There was only ever one time a claim was screwed up, but that was my company's HR being retarded at the time, so it was all cleared up.

Yeah, MN zoo.

Red Panda and Monarch Butterfly. The panda's enclosure is pretty dark with only a few sunshafts peeking through. So, my exposure highlighted him/her and blackened everything out. And I love the bokeh on the butterfly photo.
