We still use them all the time in HVAC-R for refrigerant piping. Flare fittings are one of the best and easiest ways to have a reliably leak free but still easily removable connection.

Except it wouldn’t do any damage because there isn’t anything running to the plug except for a single ground wire.

Typically in a US house it should be safe. Just assuming it is actually safe on the other hand is profoundly unsafe.

The only way to install unverified apps will be via developer mode and if you turn that on a bunch of apps refuse to run until you turn it back off.

Wait, when did this become a thing? I’ve had developer mode turned on on my phone for ages without any issues.

It’s not really credit score it’s a seperate system. Basically if you ever default on a bank account then you wind up in the CHEX system and you’re basically fucked for a long time when it comes to opening bank accounts. Defaulting on a bank account will put you in the CHEX system and ruin your credit score but a bad credit score alone won’t put you in the CHEX system.

My mom did it in the past where she had a bank account go severely negative due to predatory overdraft fees and she abandoned the account rather than paying it. 5 years later she still couldn’t open a regular checking account anywhere without having someone cosign on it.

I get the insecure argument about tap cards (don’t agree but I get it), but how could chip cards possibly be considered more insecure than swiping? That makes no sense.

At least in MN the way it works is that vehicles over a certain age can be registered as collectors vehicles and get special lifetime collectors plates. If you register a vehicle as a collectors vehicle then it doesn’t need any updated emissions or safety equipment. But at the same time it is illegal to use a collectors vehicle for daily driving. You are only permitted to drive it to/from shows/events and to take it on occasional pleasure drives. If you get caught making a grocery run with one then you get fined, the plates impounded, and you could even face jail time.

This seems to work out pretty well here. It’s pretty uncommon to see these vehicles on the road outside of big events. And it doesn’t require owners to modify their classic vehicles when many pride themselves on keeping these vehicles as stock as possible.

Edit: Also ethanol isca very bad idea for these vehicles. Firstly the seals and hoses on these vehicles are not designed for it so it destroys them, as someone else aluded to. But more importantly, these vehicles aren’t being driven regularly and ethanol is not stable to leave in the vehicles. When it ages ethanol breaks down into a varnish that covers everything and clogs the hell out of things like carburators. That is the reason that you want to use nonoxygenated gas (no ethanol added) on vehicles that aren’t driven frequently. Ethanol is the main thing that makes gas go bad. If you don’t have ethanol in there then the shelf life is extended dramatically. If you ran these vehicles on ethanol you would basically be requiring people to drain and dry every fuel carrying component whenever they wanted to store it (which should be often if you don’t want them daily driving them).

At least in my area, propane is the goto if you have no city gas hookup. If you want to go oldschool then you have a fuel oil furnace. Keeping enough wood on hand to heat a house over the winter just isn’t practical for most. Even just heating his wood shop just while he is using it my dad can burn through 3 full cords of wood every winter. My grandpa used to heat his trailer house with wood and he often went through 4-5 full cords in the winter.

I 100% agree that wood is cozy but it’s way easier to just keep a tank of propane or fuel oil on hand.

Woodstoves are nice as an option but I’ll just take backup power any day. Gas pressure is normally still fine for a long time durring most outages and it takes very little power to just run the blower fan on a gas furnace. I’ve run mine off my vans inverter using an extension cord and some farmer grade wiring practices at one point with no issue. Plus I can also power other things with backup power. If it’s an extended outage then most gas furnaces can easily be converted to run on propane and swapping out tanks is much easier than dealing with fueling a woodstove.

Nah because I’m a transformitive work. My parents didn’t make these gainz. 💪

IMO, better to get laws in place early and refine them over time, than not at all.

So… Move fast and break things?

Assume a spherical giraffe.

This dude has shadow people as roomates.

Through the almighty power of amphetamines I no longer require quaint human things like food. Also does anyone know why I feel dizy and shakey?

Joking aside, before I was medicated the only things I found that worked to prevent snacking were strict keto or strict intermittent fasting. The keto worked much better but it’s miserable and hard to keep up for the first few weeks before your body kicks into ketosis. Once I was in ketosis though it was a breeze.

Outside of those something that helped was just keeping healthy snacks around. I’d still snack all the time but I would just wind up eating a ton of of grapes or dried fruit instead of a whole bag of chips. I still have several bags of dried fruits in my cubbord and a bag in my van.

Exactly. Managers should be making the distinction on wheather what the find actually effects the candidates ability to do the job or not. If it doesn’t then it shouldn’t factor into the hiring decision.

I was once on the hiring team at an old job and I looked up the candidate before their interview. The only thing I really found on them that stood out (older person so no online presence) was a news article from over two decades ago about them being arrested for filming themselves having sex with a cow. A slightly deeper search showed that their criminal history was completely clean otherwise. They were interviewing for a test position at a factory. We didn’t work with animals so him having a history of being a cow molester was really weird and gross but it had no bearing on his suitability for the job and acordingly I didn’t factor it into my decision. He interviewed well enough and we actually wound up hiring him. He turned out to be a shit employee for reasons completely unrelated to cattle buggering but that’s beside the point.

Occasionally I’m partial to gently holding my wife’s hand.

Just hanging out in hot topic lead to goth girl dating? If I just hung out in hot topic it would lead to being put on a list. I’m not sure which list, but one of them for sure.

And to be perfectly honest, the situation in my country is so bad that I don’t think every desire to harm others is necessarily unwell.

It’s definitely not. But once again the line is between stating desire and stating intent. You won’t get put on a hold for saying you want someone dead. You will get put on a hold for saying you are going to kill someone and have a plan to do so. Somewhere between those two points is the threshhold where some mental health professionals will report you and some won’t.
