    Nope.  Plan on getting your ass up at 5am and getting out on deck!!!  It will start to rain at about 9a, they will wait 1 hr to see what is going to happen, and THEN it will be cancelled.  

    Yep

  2. Also, it can take a few minutes for a new capacitor to charge up and power on the A/C unit after a swap. I learned that the hard way.
    My A/C went out at the end of last summer. I researched and read it could be the cap. Located the cap on the outside unit. It was swollen so I bought a new one and installed it myself. Turned on the A/C and nothing happened. Fan still wasn't blowing.
    I was afraid I was about to burn up the whole unit, so I turned it off quickly and called an A/C company. They sent out a guy on a Saturday (extra fee). He came out, tested it, looked confused and said he thought I needed a new fan motor. He put in the new motor, turned on the unit and nothing happened, just like when I had turned it on after putting in the new cap. A/C guy says "Sometimes it takes a few minutes to power back up." He left it on, and sure enough, a couple minutes later it powered up and started blowing.
    Looking back, I'm almost positive I fixed it with the $12 capacitor, but unnecessarily paid for a new $500 fan motor because I didn't let the cap charge up long enough. 


    Wondering if we had the same company.
  3. Had to replace mine twice 7 years apart and different homes and used the same local AC company. Both times he tried to tell me my fan was bad and wanted 650 to do it. Told him no thanks. It is weird though...the unit still works even though I didn’t replace it?!?

    I only used him the 2nd time because it was a Friday afternoon and was the only person who had the capacitor I needed in stock and he wouldn’t sell it to me for DIY. I called at least 5 different places.

    The other day I was driving on 290 between Austin and Dripping Springs and I was thinking yeah, all this work they’ve done to add a middle turning lane is kind of useless. You still have traffic doing 60-65, and you still have cars having to turn left, and when they screw it up, it’s catastrophic. Now 290 and 1826 has a stop light. What excuse is there to crash at that intersection? Somebody had to run a red light there.

    I live our there and that is what causes most accidents.  Red light running and turning left when not safe.

    After debate with friends, consultation with a urologist, and then a detailed consultation on reversal with a friend who is a urologist I’m going to try and get one in the next month or so. I don’t have kids and am not on a path to marriage at this point. I have a sperm bank collection kit coming in the mail this week so I need to save up 3-5 days of a load and send it off for storage just in case. My friend told me that reversals are pretty easy at this point and he wouldn’t be worried about a 10 year horizon if needed saying the methods are only going to get better for reversals and he would be about 80% confident up to 10 years out depending on the method of the initial procedure. 

    The added incentive for me is that I’m moving to Oklahoma for a few years for work and I don’t want anything or anyone tying me down there. Time to just be smart. It will be weird explaining to girls that it’s ok if I nut in them. I’ll probably save a pic of my receipt in my phone in case I need to prove it. As a guy who has used his dick so much that I can’t bust a nut with a condom on I feel this is my only real option to both be in control of my child plans and to have more opportunities to have secks without a rubber.   

    I believe a guy on TOS had this issue.  Chick he was sleeping with told him he got her pregnant.  He showed her the paperwork that showed him sterile and then she confessed that she picked him out of a group of guys that she was seeing because he seemed the most stable....which is saying a lot with anyone associated with that site or this one!

  6. From AustinGoesVertical on SSP:
     
    Have some news. The School of Deaf on South Congress was just sold to a developer.
    This is what I’ve heard through the grapevine, so it could be it hasn’t officially closed yet. But I was told a developer was buying it. I thought they meant it was done but maybe they meant “in the process” of buying it. I’m not comfortable saying what broker company it is, but it comes from a reliable place.
    Take it FWIW, but apparently part of the deal includes a contingency for a new state of the art facility to be built somewhere else and development on this specific site would be within 5 years, not necessarily immediate. I don’t know any other details.
     

    Wasn’t there a poster on TOS claiming that this deal was close? I feel like it was a year or two ago.

    Did you have to coordinate with the owner so you're not leaving the car unattended? I mean, the white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

    Yes, we coordinated.  I gave him my flight info so he could verify that it was on time and then texted him when we landed.  We waited about 5 minutes for him to get there.  I then let him know when we were returning and he was there right when we got there.

  8. I used it in Denver a couple summers ago and had a great experience.  They have insurance you can buy through them.  I also talked with my insurance company and they said it would be treated as a rental so I would be covered in the event it was my fault.  I have referred a couple others and they have had good experiences as well. 

    I was able to get a 5 series BMW using Turo for less than the price of a small sedan through rental companies.  



  9. This show did for Tom’s public image the exact opposite of what it did for Lolo’s.


    A lot of men will put up with annoying and crazy when women are giving it up, but not many when they are not. Explains a lot with Lolo. She is always on edge and flips her shit at the littlest things.

    that has literally never happened.   but don't let it stop your narrative.

    if you read romans 13 in a vacuum you get the take you came away with.  but if read in context with everything else in the Bible you get the full picture of what it means.  it's not picking and choosing, it's having a deeper understanding of the entire context.  

    It's always the full context, until it is time to sin for God and then it is ok
