I replaced an outlet once thanks to forgetting that the light I was using to test it was also photocell controlled.

kastein posted:PS gently caress EGR so hard why does anyone do this bullshit, manifold looks like a coal miners lung, stop making your engines smell their own farts god dammit I'm so glad for a combination of the fact that GM engines can have EGR removed from the ECM quite easily, and that they also figured out how to make later engines get by without it just with a different cam profile.

Kids are the best, especially now that mine is old enough to refer to the GMC as her truck (and demand to sit in it!). A good sleep schedule will make or break your entire loving life early on with a kid. Ours was terrible at going to sleep without being rocked all the way down (and laying her down was pretty much the first scene of Raiders every loving night) until we used this book which is basically just a framework for phasing out the amount of physical contact / immediate presence needed for your kid to sleep. And you don't need half of the baby-related poo poo the internet thinks you need, if even that much.

Cat Terrist posted:I've been wandering around WRC pits and V8Supercars and 12 Hour and Lord knows what else. It still comes down to the racing and NASCAR on ovals is still absolute poo poo. It needs to be the right ovals, but the problem is that they've taken just about all of the racing out of the current iteration of the car. Even a track like Phoenix which should allow a driver worth a drat to be able to make a move happen, is now a procession where outside of a yellow flag it's rare for a car to be closer than half a second to the next in front or back. Oval racing shouldn't be five hours of everyone waiting for the last 50 laps (gently caress you, Coca-Cola 600) before they think about doing much, it should be a run for the finish from the word go. Bonus points if you've got a crazy-eyed kid from Toowoomba doing his damnedest to prove to the world* that he's better than three second place finishes in a row. *what little of it was watching

Rhyno posted:We're moving into a brand new apartment in May where my girlfriend is the property manager. We're going to know exactly where the studs are so that helps. You say that, but even modern construction crews gently caress up. My house is only about 15 years old but aside from the studs immediately adjacent to any door / window, absolutely nothing is where it should be. Neither 16" or 24". That said, as long as you find a good pair of studs, its no problem. I hung a 60" using a Monoprice mount and it just takes some patience and a second set of hands. A third set of eyes helps too.

leica posted:Yeah those are great nail/screw finders Point taken, but I have yet to get a false positive. Three different electronic finders have given me all kinds of bad readings over the years. Besides, it's easy to confirm. Find one screw, then move straight up or down and find another. Not likely to have two random nails perfectly in line with each other.

^ Yup, painting doors loving sucks, especially ones with windows in them. Some of you may remember the friend I have whose Toyotiac Vibratrix had such a weak charging system that it couldn't drive with a dead battery, plus collapsed suspension on one from corner. He remedied that situation by buying a second-gen Prius, and has subsequently both lost and won the used car lottery. Lost because it just threw P0A80, which literally means "replace HV battery". Won because the car is 7 years, 11 months old, and the HV battery is an emissions device covered under the 8yr/100k warranty.

Might be, but unless the dealer tries to gently caress him over, I won't have to pull the HV pack out and disassemble it to find out.

Pham Nuwen posted:That's how it was for her... for the last few years she would tend to forget to eat, or change her clothes, etc. The Alzheimer's started to become apparently about a decade ago, and when I last visited her ~6 years ago, I had my mom call her before I left my bedroom in the morning, because I wasn't sure she'd recognize me without a reminder. In the last year she started not even recognizing her children, and asking about her mom and dad because she thought it was 1940. Yeah, losing my mental capacity is truly frightening. Luckily my grandmother still has her wits about her - there's no question about whether or not she's forgotten to eat, she just doesn't want to.

Speaking of Arizona, if this passes it's pretty much acknowledging that outside of school zones, the speed limit is really sign+9:AZFamily posted:PHOENIX (AP) -- The House has taken steps to approve a bill that makes the maximum penalty for speeding up to ten miles over the speed limit just $15. Rep. David Stevens' proposal builds on current law stating officers may issue a "waste of a finite resource" ticket for drivers traveling up to 10 miles over the limit in a 55 mph zone. House Bill 2662 changes the language to encompass any street or highway with exceptions for school crossing zones, construction zones and business or residential districts. The bill states the violation shall not exceed $15 plus surcharges, can't be reported to insurance companies and would not add points to a driver's license. The proposal passed on a voice vote Thursday and now awaits a formal vote. I don't think I've ever been pulled over for anything less than 15 over anyway (not counting "your light is out" or that one time I street-raced a Civic in my grandma's E320).
