  1. Agreed. I would buy that when I saw it a while back. Not sure it's still available. Mt. Dew talk not going away.
  2. I picked one up by mistake once. It was okay. I still prefer the full corn syrup version if I'm going to be drinking liquid poison.
  3. I love that Vance is getting hammered for the Diet Mt. Dew reference. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I indulge in the occasional Mt. Dew and Funyuns on road trips, but never would I ever consider a fucking Diet Mt. Dew. What a douche.
  4. Men who don't have daughters or didn't grow up with sisters don't really understand this. I didn't until I had my daughters. It opened my eyes to a lot of things I never knew I didn't know.
  5. I knew my brother couldn't make it through the day without posting something sexist and he managed to pull through with only a couple hours to spare. Like clockwork.
  6. Reporter shows picture of member with pedophile. Group immediately starts calling reporter pedophile protector. Nice.
  7. Chuy's has kind of sucked for a while so I won't really miss it. I'm starting to get concerned these restaurant conglomerates are all that will exist in the not so distant future though. Several local places have closed recently because they just can't keep up with rising costs and rents.
  8. I have no idea what that guidance is trying to say. I inherited an IRA from my grandfather in 2020 and plan to withdraw all of it by 2030. Has that changed? Or is this just guidance going forward?
  9. It's hilarious, and sad, how some men define what it is to be a man.
  10. You should just LS swap it. Problem solved.
  11. I read somewhere they need the oil changed after 50 hours of cumulative use. Zero percent chance anyone who owns one of those is doing that.
  12. I have a pretty good list of what's on each circuit already, but I need to do a more extensive check. Some of the circuits make no sense in this house. I'll also add up an approximate wattage range per circuit as a reference.
  13. They will run off of ethanol gas just fine. It has less energy in it than pure gasoline though. E10 gets you worse mpg than E0 so I would assume that's why it gets less generation time as well.
  14. Agreed. The only reason to have an automatic is if you go standby and don't want to touch anything. I'd do manual if I go the portable route. From what I've gathered, the manual transfer switch requires you to preselect which circuits will be energized when you flip over to generator power. An interlock is also manual, but energizes the entire breaker box once you isolate from the grid and you manage the load by selecting which breakers remain on. I could see advantages to each.
  15. I've been reading about those. My downstairs unit is an older 5 ton and upstairs is a 4 ton variable speed. I'd be okay with one of them running. Any preferences on a manual transfer switch vs. an interlock? Seems like both have pros and cons, but either should work.
  16. I've never seen this happen on a live OTA broadcast.
  17. I can't even imagine being there with your kids. Fuck that.
  18. Yep. The convenience is worth more, but just have to decide how much more. A few grand and it's a no brainer. $10K or so makes it a tougher decision. My biggest concerns are if A) I'm not home or B) we're on vacation. A whole home automatic version would be ideal in both of those scenarios. Regardless, we need to do something. Outages are becoming a regular occurrence lately.
  19. Who installed your transfer switch and how much did it cost? I'm looking to do the same.
