  1. BTW, false alarm. My wife THOUGHWT she knew the password.
  2. joke's on you, it's a Polish CC. You won't appreciate the way your purchase ends up working.
  3. Coincidence? I just got a notice that my credit card account is locked - too many login attempts. The hack did seem to list some places where some of us live. I didn't click any of the posts, my parody title was a C&P of the title only
  4. I can't believe he's gone! And took my brilliant parody of a hack with him!!!!!
  5. Is that true to what they serve in Ireland? It was at the party this weekend, but I gave up beer for lent so I didn't get any
  6. A couple times a month maybe. Usually I just guess. Years ago, I was making an LC circuit for a loudspeaker (on my lunch hour, of course). I was carrying a coil, probably 6" diameter of magnet wires, about 4 turns to go test it, from across the lab the savant engineer asked "what frequency are you after?" I told him, he said I need 2 more turns. Yeah, I calculated this I'll trust the results of the test, thank you. I needed 2 more turns.
  7. I've got about 60% of my seeds up in a week. Wife did the seeding, so I think the seed depth was pretty inconsistent as she isn't use to this task. I really want to get the heat off the sprouts, but can't until they all some up. Actually enough sprouts that I had to turn on the grow lights. I may need to take the tray covers off soon. Still waiting to seed eggplants and squash, they get out of control if they are in trays too long.
  8. I was going to round up some snakes, but instead, going to see my niece in her HS show then dinner tonight. Tomorrow, St. Patty's party at a friend's house in Md, his Irish band is playing. We'll probably spend the night. Find a church, back home to get some work done. The AC in the GTI is not working. Just changed the compressor, It held vacuum, but not sure how much R134 it took since it was pretty cold. More likely the expansion block is clogged, so that means I need to release all that freon into the atmosphere and fix it.
  9. That video hits home. When our tornado hit, I was stuck at work under a stairwell. Wives and kid and dog were home, in the basement. I was trying to get information, saw a video like that on FB. Watched the Tornado run behind the school then continue past my house, about 2 blocks behind.
  10. When you read the fine print on that warranty - it really wasn't a warranty. I don't ever remember batteries lasting forever. 3-4 years tops. Now the technology and manufacturing is better, even with the stuff that runs with the car off, 5-6 years is common. (If you clean the terminlas)
  11. Thinking - the n00b posts about 48 times a day, so 95% of 48....
  12. They were. Still are, we just don't call them that. It's still just people hanging out and drinking.
  13. Toyota Avaloan to keep it running?
  14. We heard nothing from the company about year end numbers or what that might do to bonuses. I figgered that meant another year without one. Biggest Bonus EVER! That's a LOT of jelly!
  15. Interesting, I didn't know that was a thing. I've had issues with Labyrythitis, Twisties, tinnitus, all kinds of ear weirdness. But my noise cancelling headphones don't bother me at all. People who come to my desk while I'm wearing them because I need to focus on something and expect me to just tear them off and listen - they bother me

    Interesting

    When we rely on the wealthy to distribute wealth to those who need it (trickle down), they will distribute in whatever way most benefits the distributors When we rely on the government, aka society, to distribute wealth to those who need it (taxation and regulation), they will distribute it in whatever way most benefits those who need it. It's just human anture.
  17. Have you been looking? There is a large surplus of job openings right now, are there any you could take? Get laid off. Take the 6 month check. Take a month off then start your new job

    Interesting

    It is. There is no longer a legitimate question about it. It's been proven so many times over. And never been disproven, just disagreed with by a tiny minority Your post assumed a whole lot more than that. We can shrug our shoulders, do nothing, because, hey India isn't doing their part. The cost will be astronomical and destroy civilization as we know it. People will mostly still be around. Oh - and that cost to our food supply? There won't be much food supply. OR, we could do our part, develop technology so EVs AREN'T recharged with fossil fuels, make renewable energy cheaper - it can eventually be far cheaper than fossil fuel. India and China will want in on that cheap energy. We spent a lot, but not an astronomical lot. And my Grandkids will go to colleges, raise families in comfort.
  19. Flyers are still in playoff position!!!!
  20. That place is incredible! WAY better than the Air & Space at Smithsonian. We happened upon the shuttle at the same time as one of the docents - who was an engineer on the shuttle. Cool discussion
