goatse guy posted:I went to the shelter to get some cattes and ended up with an Australian cattle dog that I've named Turbo. Things in the Goatse Guy household are tense right now, as Harry is not pleased with this development. That's why a lot of shelters have a requirement for you to bring in your dog to meet the new one. Post pics.

Luckily it was right near one of the emergency phones, then a state trooper was there pretty quick with a nice aluminum floor jack and lug wrench and I was outta there pretty quick. The wall was about waist high and I peered over it a few times.....Spooky loving poo poo. The guy was lucky though...could easily have been fatal.

LloydDobler posted:On the subject of playing adult, my attempts are finally paying off. I'll be debt free in a few months except for my mortgage, and I'm refinancing that into a 15 year at 3.125% so I can really grow the equity. I should have at least $100k equity for a down payment on my next place within 5 years, and if I decide not to move I can pay this place off in ten. It's tiny but that means it's easy to maintain. I've already replaced my washer/dryer, water heater, and a/c so next comes the furnace, possibly a new bathtub (at least caulk and tile) and maybe fridge/dishwasher/stove. Maybe another water heater but they're not that expensive if you DIY which I do of course. Why another water heater?

CommieGIR posted:The escaping a black hole via a Hohmann transfer is not realistic. No amount of energy is going to get you out of the grips of the black hole, unless you are the size of a star. The first planet: it would've been pretty obvious that you do NOT want to land there from orbit, the waves would've been evident from space, even more, the physicists could've predicted them with ease, you really don't want to land on a planet of water that has some massive gravitational sink next to it. Surviving a black hole.....its really hard to say, chances are nothing can survive it, Cooper would've died, but for the story at least the black hole has been 'modified' by future humans to allow for the scene where he tells his daughter the data. I wonder if the Kip Thorne book would explain things to your satisfaction? It's called "The Science of Interstellar" and it's by a prominent physicist. He was an executive producer of the movie. I haven't read it though. Physics won't explain the characters acting stupid of course; you have to accept it is just a story. This is my favorite movie though. I'm glad my friend told me to go see it in 70mm IMAX, I don't usually get into movies much. NitroSpazzz posted:I did the 48 hour rental through Amazon, have a feeling I'll be watching it again tomorrow afternoon or the day after. It's funny I used to give my Dad poo poo for getting emotional at movies...now I get emotional as hell at movies. This one really got me. If you watch it I recommend the Bluray if possible. I don't think the streaming copies have the full-frame in the IMAX scenes. The Vudu one doesn't, at least.

some texas redneck posted:. That's just weird and I don't think that'd be legal anywhere I have lived. If you replace it and have to keep it there I would see if there's a tankless water heater that matches the performance. As long as you don't have to do that thing where you adjust the pressure. I doubt American models make you do that.

some texas redneck posted:Unfortunately, our gas service won't support a tankless without a lot of work. What does it need? Just curious. I don't know much about this kind of stuff. My experience is having one in a European apartment, where it was nice to have it mounted high up and out of the way, not taking up valuable space in the bathroom :P. You couldn't (or shouldn't) do that with a conventional one because it's a safety hazard and of course they're much larger and heavier. I remember with some of the older units you had to look at the gauges and mess with either the water or gas pressure. I don't really remember because I didn't use that apartment much. If you had to do that obviously you couldn't have it in the attic. edit: the name of the heater was Junkers. Funny name, although they made planes for Germany in WW2.

some texas redneck posted:From what I understand, we'd have to run a larger pipe into the house. And the gas service entrance is diagonally across the house from the water heater, with no attic access in portions, so it would be pretty painful in terms of cost. Ohhh I understand, because you're heating it all at once instead of slowly. Duh.

IOwnCalculus posted:Yeah, it's not ideal, but it does respond quickly. That said I couldn't stand the Civic's dash for more than the week I had one as a rental; the split arrangement is just too wonky for me. They got the CR-V just fine though, analog across the board. I was pretty pleasantly surprised with the Sonic I had as a rental a couple of years ago. It seemed good. The only complaint I had was that my knee hit the key and it shut the car off, including the lights on a very dark road. Turns out that's not an isolated issue... Oh, the alignment was off, but it's a rental so whose fault is that.

Ozmiander posted:How do foreign citizens get handled when injured in a country with government run "free" health care? Do they just get a $0 invoice and sent on their way, or do they get billed and somehow held responsible for it in their home country? Visiting the Czech Republic from a non-EU country you need to have an insurance plan that will cover you or else you pay out of pocket. I don't know if that really means you're going to be stuck with a hospital bill though. Probably not.
