Electricity update: My brother thinks he has it isolated to the neutral between the service and the first sub panel on the leg that has been acting up. It seems to be connected but not really able to carry current. He disconnected both ends of the wire from the panels and was able to measure...

But this time, there's female gladiators that are better than the men and.....EVERYONE IS GAY!!!!!!

Araysar vs. Lightning Lord Rule - Araysar is going to win this one and he probably deserves it but I don't want LLR to feel left out. Ambiturner vs. Lanx - The fact that these two made it this far is a seeding error but I'll still make a call Pharmakos vs. Boozecube - Terrible Tuco vs. Foler -...

Believe it. 6 months ain't nothing but it ain't much either. You're still at the beginning of this so cut out the "my life is over" type thoughts. That doesn't help anyone. All you have to do is look around the world and see that it isn't true. I don't mean to beat up on you. It's...

Your post reminds me of this song. Possibly applicable to the rest of the thread as well.

I still maintain that a Ruger 10/22 with a red/green dot sight shooting up cans at the dump is the most fun you can have with a firearm.

I did that once. 6 foot cheater and I bounced up and down on it until it sheared off a 3/4" socket extension. When those truck tires have been on for many years they can get really hard to get off. I finally had to heat it up with a torch.

She was probably taking a selfie for Instagram.

We have prairie dogs here. We sometimes shoot 50 in a day and it doesn't make a dent. The town just keeps getting bigger.

Araysar vs. Dicktrickle - Might be interesting to talk to if he had any integrity. He doesn't though. Lightning Lord Rue vs. frenzied wombat - built a nice website but made the board worse overall through bad leadership Bandwagon bs. Ambiturner No problem with either of these Lanx vs. Blazin -...

Taquerias and taco trucks are definitely things I miss from living down south. Here we have Taco John's and one sit-down Mexican restaurant as the only options for Mexican food. There is one guy with a truck but he seems to operate it 1 day a week or less and not usually when I'm in town.

To be fair, it's the #1 arguing tactic in the political threads so he comes by it naturally. Some people (araysar) actually take it to the next level and just pretend to be too stupid to argue with because they think it somehow lends credibility to the strawman they're arguing against.

I went to Taco John's the other night and they had a special where you buy one super burrito and get one for $1. I ordered 2 burritos, 2 tacos, and a large coke. $18.50. I got the receipt and start to tell the guy that he must have charged me full price for both of the burritos but no. I...

I have done the same thing many times. It seems like such a good idea in your head but then you realize "Oh, I guess if this actually worked well someone else would have done it by now."

I think you're probably right about the floating neutral. It all makes sense pretty much. The neutral came loose on my mom's house years ago and fried all the electronics in the house. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a loose connection this time. There was one wire that my brother...

I was making coleslaw last week with a mandolin slicer and a tiny slice of my fingertip went into the coleslaw and could not be found. I didn't tell our guests that one of them probably ate a little bit of my finger for lunch.

Yes the solenoid and heater are both 120V and he had them on opposite legs. I think he tried it both ways where the voltage would go screwy if he put a load on either leg without the other one but with a load on both legs it would even out even though they were much different loads (1500 watt...

The problem is the ends are 800 feet apart. I guess you could disconnect it from the power and tie the neutral to one of the hot wires at the service and then check the whole loop for continuity from the far end. EDIT: Oh I see that's kind of what the video was saying to do hehe. Should...

My dad was the same way.

Having some weird electrical problems in our outbuildings so I'm wondering if @Erronius has any ideas. My brother is a former electrician and he's kind of stumped by it. We have a well pit that feeds a stock tank and all we're trying to power is a solenoid valve that turns the water on and...

I don't know. It's the only goat milk I've ever had but I thought it was good. From my days with a milk cow as a kid I know that the animal's diet affects what the milk tastes like. Every once in a while our cow would eat some weeds or something and make the milk taste weird for a couple of...

The natural gas backup is great unless whatever took out the electricity also shut down the gas. You can probably keep parts to convert it to propane and have a tank of that for backup or just have a portable generator that runs on propane as a backup. The nice thing about propane is that it...

Very quickly. I have even tried telling google assistant "Hey Google, I will NEVER subscribe to Grammarly, stop wasting their money showing me ads for it."

My girlfriend had a dairy goat for a while and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between it and cow's milk. Some people claimed that they could but I always wanted to set them up a blind taste test to see if they really could.

Yeah on Friends everyone was more or less equal. Not the case with Seinfeld as the name implies. That said, you can't blame them for going for money up front over residuals. If you can get $20-30M in the bank you are set for life whether the show makes money in syndication or not, and they...

Yeah and Friends is one of those top sitcoms of its generation. There are people who just watch Friends reruns as their primary TV time. The show still generates a billion dollars per year so you could say they deserve more.

The fact that some quarterbacks can get the ball out quick is not "negating the pass rush". You're pretty severely limiting what they can do if they never have time to let a play develop and that makes the secondary's job much easier.

If SF doesn't have like 5 sacks in their next two games Steve Wilks should probably be fired. Plenty of people are calling for his head already but there's no question the defense has been under performing this season when the personnel should be better than last year.

Sunflower seeds are the best snack that keeps you busy. If you're getting any shells in your hand you are eating them wrong. I'm a fan of black pepper personally. Only caution is that eating them continuously in the car for 4+ hours will leave your mouth dry and raw but hey, you're a real...

He's trying to do too much and forcing things at the end of the game but he played great for 3 quarters. It would help him a lot if the defense could get off the field rather than giving up 10 yards per play.

I really like the taste of Mountain Dew Zero but it's kind of hard to find.

Ducks are fun and you don't have to have a pond for them. If you did I'm sure they would swim around in it, but they are happy without it. They will however, get into any open water you have sitting around and make it absolutely filthy. Some ducks lay a lot of eggs as well.

As someone who loves auctions, this is true. Auctions usually sell stuff for the going rate or higher when people get competitive. There's no reason to bid before the last minute or two of the auction, you're just tipping your hand. Also don't pay any attention to the price before the last...

Purdy's brain does everything faster including regenerating after being squashed.

I know you have all rationalized it. You're full of shit, but I believe that you believe it.

But you're still going to watch Youtube right? It's easy to be all principled when it means you can rationalize being a leech.

Good luck with that but you understand that you are just a leech and it's a completely unsustainable model if there's too many leeches like you.

Youtube Premium is the best subscription I have. Haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years, plus it comes with YouTube Music. I get more out of it than any of the streaming services I subscribe to. I mean does $15 a month actually affect your lives in some way? I dislike ads and I am always...

If you wait just the right amount of time before touching the dingus, it actually makes things better. It's very dangerous though. There's no good time to touch your eyes.
