  1. So your basic argument is the same as telling people not to wear masks during a pandemic because the government can't tell us to do things that are in the best interest of society as a whole. I can see the irony here. So this is supposed to be funny, right?
  2. That guy is a modern day Elwood Blues
  3. Join the American Socialist White Peoples Party (ASWP pronounced Ass wipe) I pledge allegiance to Donald J Trump, the immortal leader of our race.
  4. Should redo this with how do you understand Maga so well?
  5. Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can you do the fandango?
  6. We booked a long time ago. RIMPAC recently took up any vacancies
  7. “Adding chlorinating liquid” does this mean bleach or something else? If you don’t have a way to test how do you know how much to add? get a FAS-DPD chlorine test kit before anything else. The store can tell you CYA levels and it should stay steady. You’re spinning your wheels until you can test chlorine at home.
  8. "Hey Russian warship, go fuck yourself" It's what the original defenders of Snake Island told the Moscow/Mockba at the start of the war and now the Moscow is at the bottom of the black sea.
  9. So I watched the video and saw he had one arm and then immediately looked through the breach of the launcher and thought. Yeah, I can see how he lost an arm.
  10. I think it can be one of a few different things I posted in my longcat above. You need to investigate them until you find the problem(s) Your filter media is inadequate or filter is borked (has a hole or bad seal) turning on the pump stirs stuff off the bottom that had not been filtered You are killing new algae when the pump comes on and that clouds the water. You need to do the shock/hold/ overnight loss test until it is gone. First I would sweep the bottom with the filter off and see if that stirs up sediment. Second, Get a good test kit and let us know what your Chlorine and CYA levels are first. You mentioned you are getting inconsistent results from Leslie's but you don't share them. Third, when was the last time you did a cleaning and inspection of the filter?
  11. I have no problem that our former first lady was a Eurotrash whore. The only problem I have is that Maga thinks she was classy compared to other former first ladies and made memes about her style being a plus for her.
  12. So I took that picture after going to get some non-ethanol gas. I park in the garage and I smell gasoline so I check under the hood and there is a loose ignition wire so I think, "I had one cylinder not firing" and go inside to let the engine cool. Come back out later and the smell is worse. I look under the car and the gas tank is leaking from the fuel sender, by now it is midnight and so I decide to quickly back it into the driveway out of the puddle of gas and try to tighten the retaining nut. I get under there with gas running down my arm while in my sleeping shorts and no shirt and tap the retaining nut to tighten it and it just falls off and now instead of a slow trickle I have gushing gas. I crawl back out get a low sided bucket and catch about 7 gallons of gas before it gets to a drip. Now I have to get back under there and the damned rubber washer wont stay in place. I had to take the fuel sender completely out, bungled up the gas hard line with a slight bend and all that goes with it. Fit and replaced it about 8 times before I decided I need some petroleum safe RTV gasket maker just to hold the rubber gasket where it goes. I got what I thought was a good seal and then put it back together. Then I had to put the gas back in the tank because I could not leave it in an open container. Probably spent 90 minutes, inhaled enough fumes for a lifetime and stunk up the whole house, kids were up and complaining. Wife was angry I asked if she could hold an extinguisher (would not have done any good if I needed it). Got to be after 3:00. And if this does not make any sense to you because your fuel sending unit bolts up, this is what I had to deal with it's more like a crappy snapple lid friction fit. Hey, I'm alive today, right?
  13. Bump Looking into this now after getting tired of servicing my 25 year old gas mower. Read this article and decided I like the EGO power plus model. Neighbor has had one for a couple of years and he let me test drive it and it did my whole yard with a half a battery (7.5ah). Also decided to get the self-propelled model which bumps the price. This was one of my questions as well and my neighbor's looks great after at least 2 years of using it (he moved in in 2020). Any ideas on the best place to purchase? It looks like Amazon might be the cheapest but wanted to hear if there is something better before I make this large purchase.
  14. Things I was wrong about: 1. There is a statue of him at Ole Miss. It is not Evers, it is James Meredith the first admitted black student at Ole Miss. 2. For some reason I thought he enrolled but that was wrong. He was rejected because of his race in spite of Brown vs Board of Education.
  15. Total Drunkenness Recorded - This could cover a lot of ground, maybe a west campus party or a Texas OU game. Could be a lot of things. I like it. Yeah, I think the point is to prohibit export of Russian goods, don't let Ukrainian grain or Russian oil ship out of the porta of Kaliningrad so only allow what is needed for local consumption. The point is not to starve Kaliningrad.
  16. Getting the dash installed. And saw this Mach 1 at the Cedar Park fireworks on Monday night
  17. See this would get you on a red flag list which is why she opposes red flag lists.
  18. Meh, It depends. Do you still have that crazy uncle spouting shit about a stolen election or are you in unmoderated groups because that will generate the stuff you are talking about. Best thing is to unfriend or mute that old hunting buddy that throws out misdirected anger or quit that unmoderated group that goes off topic on masks, vaccines, or gas prices. My main reason for it is to check the schedule of car shows in one main group I'm in. I check it about once a week.
  19. They took for for tests but he aced Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV and proclaimed himself a stable genius.
  20. I don't like using clarifiers or flocculants but Freyguy has the right advice. 1. TFP is a great resource. You should be able to test your pool without Leslie's and get more consistent results. You probably need a FAS-DPD chlorine test kit, you also need to know CYA to clear this up. 2. Get reliable CYA and Chlorine level readings. Depending on your CYA level you need to shock your pool to the right Chlorine level and hold it there until all of this is gone. Then do an overnight chlorine loss test to make sure you don't have algae hiding in a hidden spot like a light recess or unused pressure side line. Read this post for an example on the shock level needed. The higher your CYA the higher the necessary chlorine level. If your CYA is over 80 you should probably do a partial drain and replace to get it down to a manageable level for shocking. 3. You probably don't need flocculants if you have patience. Did a sales guy tell you you needed it? The push product not healthy pools. Just doing the Shock/hold/overnight loss test will kill it all off and the filter will eventually get it. 4. What is your pool water turnover rate? How long are you running the filter? Leave it on 24/7 and backwash the sand regularly until this clears. How old/dirty is the sand? The fact that this gets worse when you turn the filter on means it could be a one or more things. Your filter media is inadequate turning on the pump stirs stuff off the bottom that had not been filtered You are killing new algae when the pump comes on and you need to do the shock/hold/ overnight loss test until it is gone. Check all of these things, make sure the filter is working properly first so you may need to break it down and inspect.
  21. Fitlump as counterpoint to assuming that means he is a “prominent member” or that it precludes mental and emotional instability.
  22. I’m quoting you but realize you may not need the info but someone dropped in a while back that had a hard time shocking their pool. I think that is the ideal range for high UV areas like central Texas. With that level your maintenance Chlorine level should be about 6ppm and the Shock level should be about 28-30 PPM. This is a high level and most test kits will not go that high. You need a FAS-DPD test kit which uses a powder and drops to test chlorine levels. If you are not getting the level high enough you are not actually in shock range and you can keep having algae problems. Hope this helps someone.
