Overnight dipped to the mid 50's. I would consider this perfect weather. Bad? You ain't seen nothing yet... 92F is predicted this week, summer is coming. Current temp is 89, low of 60, Sunny and no rain, range 53, high range of 58 miles was seen which should return soon, after spending $732 my range should almost double, I hope, today I used 3 miles of range to go 2.5 miles, I usually use 10 miles on that road, my tires were at 36-38psi according to the Spark which could qualify as a Decepticon, since there are ICE versions floating about. There was some drilling in the center of the 15 fwy for the Las Vegas to Upland HSR route, things are getting interesting. Khan-Reliant/AdmKirk-Enterprise... The Battle of the Mutara Nebula...

The US government, the US needs to go on a war footing once again, Russia is devoting 30% of their economy to WAR, drafting another 200,000 to 300,000 people. Russia has just over 147 Million people to draw upon for war and they can afford human wave and artillery attacks on both Civilians and on Military forces, the Ukraine and Europe and the USA and Canada can not. Russia is not a friend of the USA... France has said they are sending ground troops to the Ukraine, France only have 2 Divisions of Ground Troops, many like 70% of French youth want to fight the Russians. Russia threatened France if they do, even if they were Peace Keepers which I do not suspect the French government may be wanting to do, as Russian forces in the continent of Africa are toppling former colonial governments friendly to France.

13) Message boards : Cafe SETI : TLPTPHW CCCXXXII(332) (Message 2134673) Posted 9 days ago by zoom3+1=4 Post: Hah... many years ago I got into the habit of sprinting at traffic lights against the car next to me at some downtown intersections---with my bicycle. As soon as the green light... completely across the intersection. With a light sports bike and good derailleur gears, you can easily beat any car with a manual transmission. You have to fight against those with automatic transmission (still rare in Europe). But when I "challenged" the first Tesla few years ago.... what a humiliating experience. I did that with a 10 speed bicycle that I built when I was 17, it would do 45 mph, acceleration wasn't as fast as a car, but since the speed limit was 45 I could keep up. Yeah EV's can move, very quickly too, about the only ICE vehicles that have any hope of keeping up are the big bore Suzuki's and Kawasaki's and such, been there, done that. These 2 Chevy Spark EV 15x6" wheels are here, grade C wheels at that which came in recently, not as good looking as I'd hoped, but as long as they work. Manual transmissions are going the way of the dinos I read, for new cars that is. Frontier Fiber is coming to parts of Yermo CA and to Daggett CA and to Newberry Springs CA in a cpuc.ca filing that I found online, the prospect of lower cost internet that can be streamed with is interesting, hopefully it will come here, I need more fiber.
14) Message boards : Cafe SETI : TLPTPHW CCCXXXII(332) (Message 2134663) Posted 9 days ago by zoom3+1=4 Post: The next surprising detail, at least for me... as I thought America is the land of extensive, cheap energy... I might have made the trip there, but I'd have to have spent $2.40 or so for 5kw of electricity at a DC Fast/Quick Charger which charges at a max rate of 50kw @ 400v DC to get home, so I decided to wait. $2.40 for 5 kWh means $0.48/kWh = €0.44/kWh. In Germany we currently pay retail prices of €0.30 ... €0.40/kWh for households (12 month contracts). But as soon as you charge your BEV at a public DC Fast/Quick Charger you are faced with prices of €0.60... up to €1.00/kWh. Not to forget an intransparent mess of tariffs (small medium and large charge contracts), with differing monthly basic fees, differing volume fees, different roaming fees at third-party chargers, time surcharges... similar to the mess of mobile phone contracts until 10...15 years ago. Then there's the simple truth of the Diesel price: One litre (1 gal = 4.55 l, 1 l = 0.22 gal) Diesel fuel contains 10.4 kWh energy (heating value). Current price now (here in DE): €1.75 per litre ($8.59/gal). In simple terms, this is €0.17/kWh of (thermal) energy. Vehicle efficiencies: (BEV: 75%, Diesel: 45%, hybrid: 30%, fuel cell: 30%, petrol: 20%, E-fuels: 15%) (source: statista.com... paywall) Even if a BEV is twice as efficient than a modern Diesel car, it's more expensive to fast charge the BEV. That's even true with high German fuel prices. There's nothing wrong with BEVs. But it seems we have a major problem with our electricity prices. Here 87 octane gasoline is about $4.99 a gallon, not cheap. With an EV everything the EV battery has can be 100% used to move the car and to power the 12vdc battery and 12v devices, some like the Mustang Mach-E have no 12v battery and rely on a DC to DC converter instead, ICE is lousy at chemical to electric conversion with most of the process becoming wasted heat, but then no one wants a melted engine block as that would be bad. It would be nice if all EV's had heat pumps, some EV's do, mine doesn't. :( Still I like the raw acceleration an EV gives, 0-60 in 7.2 seconds in the Spark EV, 327lbs torque in the 2015-2016 Spark EV, the Bolt EV/EUV has 266lbs, the 2014 Spark EV has 400lbs, the Mach-e has 634lbs... I won't go back. Charging via AC @ home is about $0.15kwh, mostly I don't notice it, I just pay it, 381-446kwh since December, in November there was no EV here and the electricity was 602kwh since the 2.5 ton gas furnace was being used. Soon my kwh will almost double cause of the 15,100 btu window a/c, it gets hot out here for 3-4 months a year.

Charging begins to determine the timing of everyday life. You probably won't believe it... I had to google what “Burritos” were. Looks tasty; we don't have them. Bon appétit, Vic. Thanks Scrooge McDuck. I also have Chimichangas, my fridges freezer is FULL with beef and bean, beef and bean and cheese, and 1 in bean and cheese, yes they are yummy, some that I don't buy have red chilies and Jalapenos, I can eat the red, but I'll pay for it later, as to Jalapenos I won't buy those, my nephew would eat those raw, he has a cast iron stomach. I normally like green chili and beef and bean, but the market had none available. At 240v the car can do 15 amps, I still have another $240 or so in parts before I can use bonded 240v with some local help, though I'll still need an electrician for a 120v circuit for the window a/c unit, I wish Chevy had a 6.6kw charger for my car, sigh. Until I get the new circuit, I could run the a/c or the 2nd 120v circuit for the car. Eventually I plan to replace my charging cable with a name brand unit that can be set for 15 amps, cause the one that I have now defaults to 8 amps and to get 12 amps I have to plug the cable into the car, then get back in the car and select 12 amps from a menu, yesterday I wanted to go to the market, but the car said 32 miles, I might have made the trip there, but I'd have to have spent $2.40 or so for 5kw of electricity at a DC Fast/Quick Charger which charges at a max rate of 50kw @ 400v DC to get home, so I decided to wait.

What a coincidence, I have 3 cats, 2 black and white, 1 orange, 1 cat has long hair sheds like there is an endless supply of her black and white fur. They used to fight and there was some hissing, I added a 2nd litter box and all is very quiet now, and my bathroom is a bit more crowded too. Two litter boxes, one black and one gray, the black and white cats like the gray one and the orange cat likes the black one. The black box used to be automated, until the box broke, now it's scooped daily, asap I will buy a beige litter box to replace this one as this would be easier to see in by the cats.

The car battery won't be ready until 12:45am @ 12 amps, the car could do 8 amps and 12 amps @ 120v or 240v, or 15 amps, but 15 needs 240v and is as much as a 3.3kw charger can do, Stater Bros Market closes at 11:00pm, so I wait as the 4 pkgs are in the freezer and will keep, it's 48F outside, BRR. I managed to get all my food inside out of the trunk in 3 trips, 12 bags. Otherwise I'd be $12.70 over at the bank, but I've got this. This is $5.49 a bag.

I did take two pics of the snow yesterday, lets see if they are online, this with the old phone as I had not received the new one and its cover in the mail yesterday, I do have it now. Snow happened yesterday... I took this just before going to get the mail where my new phone and cover was and before going shopping for some food too. If it does rain like it did before today before the snow on the mountains melts this area could get SNOW, maybe. My "new" phone, crack and all. This used phone is a bargain, find the crack, if you can... Lower left of phone screen, the crack's only visible from an angle and goes from left to to right in this pic and is about 0.0625" x 0.50" in size, the cost was about $137 with the cover or less than $129 without the cover, it's a Lavender s20 FE 5G phone, I couldn't be picky on the color, everything works perfectly. Besides the cover hides the phones color pretty well, the old s10+ phone needs a new battery. I like my upgraded phone, and I saw worse online. Also on the Key bridge, they are using cutting torches on parts of the bridge and can be seen on youtube "Baltimore Bridge Collapse Probe Live \| Baltimore Bridge Collapse". This video was started 11 hrs ago according to youtube and is on the CNN-News18 channel. Gawd that's a huge bridge, it weighs 95,000 tons, about as much as the ship it's holding... And it's raining again, we received 0.55" inches today and 0.57" yesterday. If this keeps up this area will be cooler.

The old bridge weighs about 95,000 tons which is about the same as a Ford Class Aircraft Carrier in weight, and is 984' for the MV Dali vs 1106' for the USS FORD, I did some research on that, the workers there have their work cutout for them, I read there is a crane that can lift 15,000 tons, I think the ones in Maryland top out at 1,000 tons by comparison.

28) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Transportation Safety 3 (Message 2134334) Posted 21 days ago by zoom3+1=4 Post: This bridge was hit 40 years ago according to CNN, by a container ship, the bridge back then survived, Container ships then were not as BIG as today. The MV Dali lost power and was carried by the rivers current to the bridge, she didn't have power to even move the ships rudder that steers a ship thru the water. The crew gave warning in a MAYDAY Call that they were out of control and would hit the bridge, they'd even dropped the port anchor, to little effect, they did call for Tugs too. Of the 6 missing people as of Tuesday, 2 were found in a pickup truck today and are dead. 4 more to go, then they have to remove the bridge from off of the 148,000 Ton MV Dali, the bow of the Dali is firmly in the river bottom held down by the bridge. The Bridge had no protection against collision, none... What little was there served as guides to stay away from the bridge, the ship moved past one with maybe 50-100' to spare. Not 3 large DOTS, a 4th is on the other side of the MV Dali and the ship missed it, 1 is ahead of the Dali, Dead ahead... Proposed collision protection, seems wanting, possibly at 80' being inadequate, should be bigger and one oblong piece per side of the bridge on each end in my opinion.

In May I really need to replace this phone, as it has expanded some again in one corner, there goes $211.02 in May, hopefully the price doesn't go up then and hopefully this time the phone gets sent to me, yes it's the same make and model without a damaged battery as that is what I need. In June I get to buy 2 15"x6" Spark EV front rims and 4 TPMS valve stem Sensors, the stems I have now don't have the reporting hardware to tell the car what the tire air pressure is $233.59, the stems went down by $1.29 total. The ACP funding bill is getting more cosponsors, and is up to 209 in the House, the identical Senate version has only 3 by comparison, both are bipartisan bills too, it's worth $30 a month off of a persons internet bill, that's all I'll say on that. Of course I got a jury summons, seems like my last permanent excusal is not so permanent. So I need to call them on Thursday and ask like I did before, it's not like I can drive to Victorville CA with certainty, from Lenwood to Victorville Chevrolet is 29.8 miles, from Lenwood to my home is 16.8 miles, my credit card is not here yet and until AAA's membership is paid up in full at $90 I have no towing. I also have a Nurse coming out here on Thursday, I had to fit the nurse into my so busy schedule. LOL! Still no luck on the trulicity... Today I turned the furnace off and the window a/c on as the high was 78F outside today with 80 predicted for the next 2 days, then back to more cooler temps in the 60's and low 70's until the 29th. Also I should hopefully be able to drive to the dealer and see if my battery needs replacing or not, the warranty in California on the EV battery is 10 years, elsewhere 8 years, if they say my EV battery can be replaced under warranty, then I have a few part numbers for them since last time I called they came up empty, 2 are for the LG Chem and one is I think an LFP battery from a 2014, 2014 weighs maybe 100lbs more and is 21.4kWh instead of 19.4kWh, but that should not be a big deal as the car was designed with the heavier battery, it was only cause A123 went bankrupt that GM switched top LG Chem, the Bolt in 2024 or 2025 is going LFP in their Ultium battery... Buying Me out would be over $9500 currently, it used to be about $9800.

Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, the old winner posts a declaration of the new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post) 8.

With 240v there is 15A, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, above 80 would be panel breakers like 100, 125, 150, and 200. Outlets that look like 120v but are actually 240v are available up to 20, above 20 should be hardwired or use either a 14-30 or a 14-50 outlet, my cable is a 14-50 so that's what I use. I'll be using a 25A breaker that I have and the 14-50 outlet that came with my EV charging cable, some like Leviton have been known to melt and/or catch fire. As to infrastructure, yeah what is buried here really needs updating as the state of California considers it an antique system and of course there are no new parts made for it now and has said no new hookups until the infrastructure is updated. EV's today come with chargers under the hood or in some cases in the trunk, mine is a 3.3kw AC unit, the Bolt EV has either a 6.6kw or a 7.7kw and is dependent on the year as to which the car has installed, the Bolt EUV has a 11.5kw charger built in and has room for it, the older version can't be upgraded, both Bolts and the Spark can charge on DC at a max rate of about 50-55kw. In 2024 the Bolt EUV is back with an Ultium LFP battery and in 2025 all new GM EV's are supposed to get the NACS upgrade from CCS1. What I'd like to do is take out the LG Chem 27ah pouches in the Spark and replace them with 55ah pouches from a 2020 Bolt, in theory I'd then have about 167 miles of range. I could buy 26.4kw of used pouches off ebay, each is priced at $999.00 currently, each pouch is 138lbs in weight, the seller has more than 10.

My main problem might be the tires are cheap sport tires which look like about $66 a tire, a Chevy Bolt EV in snow and ice was getting 2.9kw per mile with 17" EV tires, no snow and ice and warmer temps and I get 2.9kw a mile, others with proper tires on an EV like mine received 6.2kw a mile using Firestone Champion fuel fighter tires which is discontinued in my tire sizes, with Kumho Solus TA31 tires range was reported as 5.0kw-5.3kw a mile, the Kumho Solus TA31 and the General Altimax RT45 are available for my car, I should know more by May when summer temps get here, current range is in sport mode using cruise control(2.7kw w/o sport mode, the motor is 140hp with 327ftlbs of torque) is 58 miles on the GOM and this has been rising as night temps have been warming up. 58 miles and 2.9kw. 240v here is actually two bonded 120v hot wires, not true 240v ac, even weirder there is a voltage in the US called 277v which is three 120v hot wires, which uses black, red, blue for hot, white is neutral, and green or bare copper is ground.

I'm currently getting 2.9kWh per mile and last I looked the battery had 58 miles out of 82 EPA miles with a low of 43 miles, the range has been going up as it gets warmer outside, which might be cause I park my car outside under a carport since I have no garage, the tires that I use? Achilles ATR two front 185/55-15 and two rear 195/55-15 tires which are stock for my car, supposedly cause of the weight of the big battery which weighs 474lbs & is made by LG Chem(same as in the Bolt EV/EUV, just 27ah(2p96s) for the Spark instead of 55ah(3p96s) for the Bolt), the 2014 had a 560lb LFP battery. I'm weighing whether to get 4 new Kumho Solus TA31 195/55-15 tires or not in August as they can deliver 5.0kWh per mile I've read, though I will get two front 15x6" rims so I can rotate the tires, mine? I've not seen that 5.0kWh, yet. The rear wheels are 6.5" wide and from what I've read can't be used at the front cause they hit the struts, the 6.0" wheels can be use anywhere as can the 195/55-15 tires. The big battery is under the rear seats and the trunk and is above the rear axle. My car has no ICE parts like a gas tank or exhaust or piston engine, though it is able to accelerate *very fast*, not bad for a tiny car, a Mustang it isn't, but not bad. This is a 2015-2016 Spark EV battery, the 2014 looked like this. The seller wants $4,320.00 for this, refurbs cost about $10,400.00 before installation. No I'm not going to buy this as I don't think mine is bad, at least I hope not.

I can get two 15x6 Chevy Spark wheels in June for about $86-$99 each and they are stock to my car.

I was looking for 17x6.5" wheels just not in any particular color for a 195/40r17 tire in a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 48mm backspacing, I got close at 17x7" w/45mm, at $499.99 a wheel, egad that's $1,999.96 for 4 wheels and I haven't put 4 tires on the wheels. 5x100 is not available in any Chevy Spark. Mazda Miata was mentioned for the 17" wheels. I found the tires in a Yokahama ADVAN FLEVA V701 at $135.48 each as an EV tire... I'd need 5-10mm in spacers, probably front and rear, the rear handles a 6.5" wheel now, the front 6" without a 5mm spacer, 6.5" would need a 5mm spacer. 7"? I don't know. I'm just going to stick with 15x6" wheels and get four 195/55-15 Hankook V2 Concept H457 Tires, they cost much less. Purple would have looked great, sigh. The rims also do 4x114.3 too.

As it should without a battery and grid isolating switch. Cheers. Which is normal here, but not until the West wind gets to gusts above 60mph, gusts have been as high as 75mph here. The micro inverter has a grid isolating switch built in already. The southern part of Calico Blvd used to have only 1 leg of the local power companies electrical circuit, with the addition of some poles and wire, the road I'm on has 2 legs, one goes out the other should switch on and this has happened. Currently winds are at 5 mph from the West. Which is why I was going to mount the panels on the east side of my home out of the West wind, the other directions are minor and don't amount to much. My last few gas bills and electric bills have been from $97.72 to $107.98 and the KW used was 381-446Kw, in summer this rises to just over double and summer here comes in May, usually. Natural Gas does go down as right now without a working water heater gas usage is still high @ 56 Therms, other times as low as 14. I found 4 tires with an install would set me back $394.11 for some Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 (h457) - 195/55r15 Tires which includes installation, of course I still need to buy two 15"x6" Spark rims for $155.74 that match my front rims so I could rotate the tires. August needs to hurry up and get here. These are supposed to have a stiffer side wall and have low rolling resistance, important in a 2,866.01lb car.

I tried sport mode near home, though if there is a difference between ECO and Sport modes, I can't tell as they are both pretty darned QUICK. Also I learned I can equip my car with four 15x6 rims and four 195/55R15 tires front and rear, the stock rear rims are 15x6.5 which can't be mounted up front without a 5mm spacer. Getting 2 stock front 15x6 rims might cost me $361.37 or so, and that doesn't include tires, 4 Firestone 195's will cost me $462.84, plus $72 for mounting. But what's $896.21 at Walmart for the four 195's? Then I'll have 4 rims and tires that can be rotated and at least one other person is doing this. Why the wider rim in back? It can't be weight related as 185's support 1047lbs ea and 195's support 1135lbs ea, the 2015-2016 battery adds 474lbs, the 2015 Chevy Spark 2LT EV weighs 2866.01lbs, The LFP EV battery in 2014 weighs 560lbs.

All for $725.79 currently, I will go for that, but first the water heater at $135.44 plus a plumber as I need one water heater removed as well as a water softener which adds salt to the water table and I can't do that here. $637.83+87.96=$725.79 For both minus a plumber that might be $861.23 since prices do change and one of the tire sizes says it might go up. The 36lbs of dry cat food and 28lbs of litter and cat brush came today, the box was a bit damp thanks to 0.52" of rain today, I also washed the dishes, I must be feeling somewhat better.

Stock tire sizes on my car? 185/55R15 and 195/55R15 both T Rated Bridgestone EP150 tires(Discontinued)... Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 tires. I don't have need for a range reducing tire, as they're meant for ICE autos, not for BEV's... Note: I have tried Tire Rack and Walmart and America's Tire, they suggest SPORT V rated tires, read the link I provided for real EV info, not ICE info. Since when is an EV a Sports Car??? I drive a 140hp 2015 Chevy Spark 2LT EV, not a sports car... The Pilot Sport-shod e-Golf managed an impressive 1.0g on a skidpad, compared to 0.77g for the stock and wheel-and-tire setup. But while the stock e-Golf has an EPA-rated 125-mile range, observed range dipped below 100 miles with the stickier rubber. It's not just tires. The wheel design can have a significant role in boosting efficiency. Car and Driver found last year that just using Tesla's aero wheel covers on a Model 3 improved its efficiency by more than 3%—or about 10 miles of range. That confirmed what Green Car Reports has noted before in a tire swap on a Chevrolet Bolt EV—and a corresponding range drop of roughly 10% with the higher-performance rubber. Tall, skinny tires used to be the trend for green cars, but more recently low-rolling resistance tread patterns and new compounds have helped reconcile some of the conflicting priorities.

Water is evaporated and the vapor or steam goes thru a membrane and any salts and solids stay behind... LTTD consists of distilling at low temperatures by lowering the working pressure and making the most of low-grade heat sources (either natural or artificial) to evaporate water and then condensate it at a cooler heat sink. To perform the process, an external heat source is needed that provides the latent heat of evaporation and a temperature gradient to maintain the distillation cycle. Depending on the available temperature gradient, several stages can be implemented, leading to a multi-stage device. The cool steam device can thus be single or multi-stage, being raw water fed to every stage from the top and evaporated in contact with the warmer surface within the said stage. Acting as a heat carrier, the water vapor travels to the cooler surface and condensates in contact with it.

Ok since there is no better solution, it seems I need to bite the bullet and drill out 2 rivets so the 5.25" drive bay can be removed, so that the bottom of the 5.25" drive bay can be partly cut away, which involves buying a 1/8" drill bit, a drill nibbler tool, and 2 Ryobi Li One+ 2.0 ah batteries for my drill asap, which hopefully will be in February.

I have strawberry blond hair with a teenagers hairline and no gray hair, I also sound younger too, but I wish I felt that way… The scale at RiteAid said I weigh 472lbs, I will take my 3.0mg shot of Trulicity asap. I also went and retrieved the mail and got yelled at for it(It was her mail, she refuses to get her own box), and I did my food shopping for the month all without a recharge until I got home. It took me 2 trips to get 7 bags of food inside, the 3rd trip was to repark the car and plug it in. I still have $52.99 on Calfresh(snap) too. All of the food is put away too. Amazon via UPS is sending 12 Boxes of Cereal here to me, I had $249.00, not anymore, that should do for a month as I'm buying less food now. I didn't flinch, but then I have a good amount of aspirin and acetaminophen in me, so I felt no pain, all 3 shots went in my left arm as I sat on a stool, the chair had arms I'm still too wide for the chair. Earlier I had vacuumed the vents on the TV, as it was resetting itself, I need to try again with the crevice tool to complete the job.

Part VIII (Message 2130820) Posted 4 Jan 2024 by zoom3+1=4 Post: It is or was easier to purchase a empty hand grenade years ago. I remember going with my parents to a surplus store and actually holding a fragmentary “pineapple” style grenade in my hand. Empty? I always treated those things until proven otherwise as quite LIVE, if the blast shock wave doesn't kill ya, then the fragments just might, we were taught to throw them as far as possible, the timer was set for 10 seconds once the clip was sprung and the pin was pulled... I witnessed one guy almost get killed cause he lobbed the grenade so weakly that the instructor next to him dived for the deck and pulled the guy down behind the barrier just before time ran out as I think the grenade rolled back to the barrier, the barrier is a concrete wall with a thick plywood face. He lived to go practice with the practice grenades again, yes I qualified, I could then use either arm, just like with the M16 where I earned a sharp shooters medal.

The bathroom door. Only because it is 24 inches wide. My middle makes it through until my shoulders hit the door frame. I can barely squeeze past the Cat tree, my small bathroom has a 24" wide door, I can get thru both doors, the main bathroom has a 30" door and one day soon when my relatives can get some time, a new bathroom vanity and sink will be installed by them, the vanity and sink are in my sister in laws garage waiting for some free time. Meanwhile I picked a point of use water heater, it's an 8 gallon Ariston model that needs 120v @ less than 20 amps, it uses no natural gas, this can power my main bathroom shower and sink. For that I need an electrician and a plumber, hot water is not cheap to install. I'm still waiting for the rent bill for December which could be near $596, but in which direction and by how much? I simply don't know as the manager doesn't know yet either. My guess due to the lack of gas fired Hot water is lower than $596. My 1st car payment of $233.71 has been paid online to Capital1, now there will be another 72 payments, at least for the moment as I do need the hot water, 3 pr of 9xl black jeans, 2 shirts, a pair of shoes(size 12 5ew), a replacement SG S10+ phone(for a bulging battery), an automated litterbox replacement(for a lack of spare parts or after market gears), at least before I can go making the balance owed on my car smaller. I also need a 25 amp 232v circuit for a future electric clothes dryer and of course for my car as what I have now is temporary at best, at least I have a breaker. Plus I managed to do some work on this, it's a case for an Amiga 2000 EATX motherboard, of course that require some 135 parts to be soldered, I do know how. The case needs brightening and vacuuming inside, plus testing the 235w psu, the 3.5" 1.44MB fdd, the 3.5" 2.1GB hdd, the 52x cd rom is being replaced by a 48x Creative, except for the fdd the other drives are Eide something I know very well. From what I've read a stock Amiga 2000 psu is 200 watts, so this one will do if it tests ok, I'm waiting for delivery of some testing equipment via Amazon. And I'm not going to open the psu up, I don't like charged cans. Exterior of the AOpen desktop ATX case, EATX motherboards are 12"x13" in size, the case is about 17" deep, more than enough room, even with the 3.5" drive bay installed. I opened this box on Christmas day, I needed something symbolic. One thing it doesn't have is a 2nd 3.5" drive bay blank, they are extremely hard to find, the AOpen ones have 2 hooks on either side. Pic of inside the case. I used a magic eraser from MrClean on the metal case cover already, it looked worse before, the 52x drive has some corrosion at the front, yet no corrosion(rust) is in the case, weird. The 3.5" drive bay. All cleaned up now, it needed dusting. The drive bay blanks, both the 5.25" size and the 3.5". I managed yesterday to go to 4 of 6 places that I wanted to go to, the other 2 would have involved hours more time. My current jeans has a large hole in the left leg. This month thanks to paying for the car transport twice before the extra $515.10 was refunded the car transport was supposed to be $500, for a bit they had $1,015.10, so I'm caught up there. I took my 1st shot of 3.0mg of Trulicity last night, I drew a bit of blood too, but then I went for the thigh this time, in 3 weeks it'll be 4.0mg a shot according to my Doctor. And I switched browsers from Waterfox G7 to Chrome, I solved the tab width problem, just not the problem of where the tabs go(bottom instead of the top) and the clicking on a link which always results in a new tab being opened. Waterfox shares code with Firefox and both have a memory leak, Chrome doesn't leak and is using a mere 17% of my 32GB of memory, Waterfox would be at 95% and after 2 days would need to be shut down and restarted to prevent a computer crash.

I also received an EIDE cable and a floppy drive cable with the case, I do know how to test everything, including a psu as I have a multimeter which can test psu's and motherboards or other circuit boards. Sorry I don't do work on light sabers... I just started to clean the outside of the case, the inside just needs a vacuum cleaner. I'll have to get my 950w psu down My case. It came in that box and that I opened today. The 3 drives... The 3.5" drive cage. Inside the AOPENed case. That's my Xmas, that and a used car that on the rear says EV in bold letters... Merry Xmas all. A low mileage 2015 Chevy Spark 2LT EV with 58,332 miles when I bought it online, I paid $500 to transport it 431 miles, winter and fall cut the battery some from 53 miles to 47, but this will return in the spring, new the battery would do 82 EPA miles, the car is hooked up to a 3.3Kw charger and a cable. I intend to ask about repairing the transit battery, which entails replacing weakened LG Chem cells. My relatives want to see this, oh and the cables to hook up the car to my home cost less than $292 total, labor was mostly done by a friend and I helped as much as I could, I'm awaiting the plates at this moment.

The change cost me $25.00, but now my mail is secure again as is the new key, and the old key does not work anymore, she was upset and I'd told her why 3 times, now if I get mail I'll check if she gets any mail and deliver it since she is on the way back home. I went from a Royal Blue 24yr old car when it ran that emitted CO2 and that attracted flies, to a Lime Green 8yr old car that emits no CO2 and does not attract flies and runs when I need it as it does not lack for energy unlike the old one that quite a bit of the time could not be moved cause money was tight. Gas stations aren't needed by me, not unless my tires(2-185/55r15(Front) & 2-195/55r15(Rear) need some air, the EV has both traction control and sport mode, plus DC Fast charging($2.40 per 5.34Kwh, currently 1/2 the big battery, later about a 1/4 w/a refurb battery). Merry Xmas to those who celebrate the 25th. Next is a tankless electric 240v water heater for on demand water heating, after that an elongated toilet and have both toilets installed, my relatives should have the rear bath vanity & sink installed sometime in 2024. Then get the floors fixed here, and paint the home's exterior.

Is there no honor among thieves? Buster and Zorro are not involved. I did receive this via UPS today, it's a Nema 14-50 plug which can handle 125v/250v @ 50 amps max, I have another one like this coming that is in Black(I wanted Orange, but I pinched a few pennies and bought Black instead) and an 8' long cable made with Copper Wire, 10/4, 10 AWG Gauge 4 Conductor Wires in Nema colors(Black, Red, White, Green), why? To connect the passive car charging line to the Nema 14-30 clothes dryer outlet with a 14-50 to 14-30 adapter at first, later there will be a Dryer to Ev switcher that has 14-30 for the dryer and 14-50 for the Ev. The cable was the only size available. Oh and I got my $515.10 refunded back that by mistake went on the car being transported, the car transporter did get paid their $500.00, instead of $1,015.10. The passive line is two 14-50 outlets and 75' of 10/4 romex, plus a Gray weatherproof box, I could buy a Green box which would save $10, but that would be the only reason, oh and it rained here 0.05" last night and it's now 65F outside w/a 46% chance of more rain. I'm thinking of wiring the circuit myself with some help from a friend, I know how to wire it, I just don't have the endurance that I used to, it's that or hire an electrician, It's two hots(Black & Red), a neutral(White), and ground(Green or bare). I don't intend to run both a 232v clothes dryer and to recharge my car at the same time, so only a 30 amp breaker is needed, the Samsung dryer is supposed to use 22.5 amps and the car 16 amps since it has a stock 3.3Kw inverter under the hood/bonnet, technically a 27 amp breaker would work, but I've never seen one that is Eaton/Westinghouse compatible in that size and I have a 30 amp breaker already. I'd have to shut off the 100 amp breaker in the stub to safely do the work cause the busbar would be exposed. I do have a CH/W BR225 and a CH/W BR230, but that is as close as it gets, the 225 is for a water heater, yep I have no hot water, yet. But I'm working on that.

Because it’s small green and silent as a ghost. Let us know how it drives for you. Customized plates cost too much, so no name. Putting VW B on there would be nice, as they are my initials, my dad liked VW Karmen Ghias... The gift that keeps on giving. Sigh... And I'd have to go the placard route. $233.71 a month for 6yrs w/Capitol One, I worked my mathematical ass off to get that score, er payment. It has two switchable modes, Eco and Sport, Eco is where I need to keep it as I think the battery has 40-50 miles of range out of 82 miles, I'm the 3rd owner, one day soon I'll replace it with a new or refurbished 19Kw version, technically it will do 0-60mph, in 7.2 seconds, the gas version needs 10.2 seconds to do 0-60. A Refurbished 19Kw battery right now costs $10,361.50 from GM & can be financed, currently GM has no New batteries as production is recovering from the last UAW strike. I might be able to have a 2017 Bolt or Volt 3.6Kw inverter installed to replace the 2015 Spark 3.3Kw inverter, I'd love to install a 6.6 Bolt inverter, but I don't know if the extra capacity would be seen or not, the 3.6Kw should work just fine as it's just a bit faster and no bigger physically than my current one and from what I read wired the same too, keys or not. One Gen2 Volt owner is running a Bolt inverter in his Volt. I did find a seat belt extender that works in a Chevy, my old one does not work in Chevy's, just Ford... I am going to sleep good tonight, my body is tired and I'm hurting good. I'll be able to take the trash out too. Green exterior and Black leatherette seats, with 4 cup holders, electric windows, working a/c, plus a trunk that'll hold about 6 bags of groceries or about 12cuft, and it now works with my phone for music or as a phone. I helped some like in connecting the cable to the wall and getting the cable routed behind my desk, the rest I just watched as my neighbor did the work. The SAE J1772 charging cable and supplies was $291.84 total w/FREE delivery, without Black Friday this would have been $399.59, the cable is capable of up to 32 amps @ 240v and the cable included a charging box hanger and a charging cable hanger, the Green 5-15 to 14-50 adapter, a 14-50 125v/250v outlet, and 5 useless #6 1" woodscrews, at the moment the car uses only 12 amps @ 120v. No smog check, no tune up or oil change or leaky ICE, No CO2 to attract flies with... Maintenance: Tires(2-185/55R15 \| 2-195/55R15), shocks, axles, brakes, and 3-wipers, if needed a/c and windshield. Paint: White and Light Blue attracts flies, Red just fades, Dark Gray is good but came w/o the DCFC that I needed, Lime Green was the only choice, Adding a cable to the Dark Gray car would involve a $557.66 cost from ebay or about $808.12 at Chevy before any labor if a Chevy Dealer would do the upgrade, it can be done at home after the battery disconnect is removed. The only downside right now? No gas water heater as my last one quit after 17yrs, I intend to go electric on the 30 gallon tall water heater and I found one at Lowes for $453.31 delivered(AO Smith), the Home Depot is closer and $516.12 delivered(Rheem), a difference of $62.81.

I thanked him, I just supplied some stuff and watched. The screws used are #10 2.5", plus a few cable clamps. Under Construction... The beginning of the 120v 20amp circuit, it's just one outlet powering 50' of 12-2 led-lit 20amp cord, two duplex outlet circuits are next to each other. The black cord comes out from behind my desk, then goes across my home to the front and turns left to the door. Look for the Orange Dot(Center, upper right), that is the end of the 50' cord, next comes a 14-3 appliance cord under my front door, then the short Nema 5-15 to 14-50 adapter, then the charging cable. Outside all I had to do once it was plugged in was go adjust a setting from 8amps to 12amps, plus I adjusted the clock, and connected my phone via Bluetooth to the car. I think I am the first to have installed a dedicated EV charger in the park. This LED is important, 1st it was Orange as it established a connection, now It's Green. At 6:00 am PST the car says my degraded battery will be done charging by then, I'm done and I've got to watch where I put my right knee as it keeps hitting the dash... The car started charging at 5:51pm @ 120v, 240v is months away, I do have a 30amp 240v Breaker. the car says when I'm not using the car to leave it plugged in to power so that it will be ready. An electrician said I could not charge my car here, this debunks that. I also put a drop of Fractionated pure Coconut Oil in Sylvesters right eye, it seems to be helping his infection as the brown ring is gone. And I took my 2nd 1.5mg 0.5ml injection of Trulicity today.

I get to pay for the car transport via zelle just cause my street address is not in the US Postal Database cause Yermo gets all mail delivered to the US Post Office. Yep I don't exist. Life without hot water, my water heater quit putting out hot water and would not reignite, it had been ignited by hand once already but the breeze put that out, so until some 25' of 12/2 wire and a 240v 25 amp breaker gets here from Amazon and a few things to charge the car with, I'm without hot water, the park is selling me a like new electric water heater for $200 and they'll install it too. I just have to pay $200.00 for it next month, plus $233.71 for the car. A piece of cake, as long as no other complication happens to me then.

The car can't be held by the seller too much longer as it's not their car any more and they would like it off of their lot. Everything else will almost fix itself since this is a weekend and Amazon and Paypal are off. But I can charge the car at home, 120v is slow @ 3.3Kw, but 240v will get installed in March 2024 I think.

A few days back this area had 0.03" of something called RAIN... Now I just have to find a way to get a 5-20 120v 20A extension cable out the front door to the actual charger cable, it was so far less expensive than getting a permit which used to be easy to get and hiring an electrician who thinks an EV can't be charged up at home, I have a 20 Amp circuit that says otherwise and that I recently used for my PC, I moved the PC to a 15 Amp kitchen circuit. I need a flat thin cable, one that is FLAT so the door won't cut into the cable and so the front door to my home will close. An appliance cable might be ok as 14 gauge cables can deliver 15 Amps and are flat too. I decided on this charger cable below as it has a 14-50 electrical plug and a 5-20 to 14-50 adapter I can supply the charger with 20 Amps of power thru a 5-20 cable like below, all actually 16 Amps as the cable to deliver 16 Amps has to be on a 20 Amp circuit. This charger cable can operate on 120v and 240v, though 240v currently doesn't exist in this mobile home park cause of the ancient buried electrical lines here. Muetux EV charger cable. A Nema 20 Amp 125v 5-20 extension cable, the one I ordered is 50' long, it was that or buy 100', to get 75' I'd need to order a 25' cable.

I asked the park if they could upgrade my service to 100 Amps as the electrician asked, so far no response, except no digging by anyone not employed by the park and no response to my asking about getting my 60 amp service upgraded to 100 amps by the park, I asked at 12:58pm, it’s now 1:39pm. They said I can go charge the EV at Eddie World about 0.8 miles away. My J1772 charging cable and storage bag, apparently useless here, for the moment.

And ask him if I can go farther like a 30 amp 120v circuit with a twist lock outlet, a water heater(20amps/240v), an electric range(40amps/240v), or a pair of 12,000 btu 120v ductless heat pumps on 60 amp service or not. Also how he'd do this, a 2nd breaker box would be needed, but no 60 amp breaker as that will trip the 100 amp breaker, to get power here the stub has a 100 amp breaker and tied to that is a 60 amp breaker that gets power from the park which is via a buried underground cable and California says it is OLD and has embargoed new connections in the park until everything is up to code, this park has 88 spaces, 28 are occupied, 48 I think are empty lots since a previous park owner ripped out a lot of homes.

But that is plenty for shopping and all my around-town errands. When I need to go further, it has a gas engine. One of the beauties of the Volt is that the batteries are always kept at 20-80% charge. The full charge is not really a full charge, it's 80%. That is the sweet spot for longevity. Mine is a 2013 with just over 200,000 miles and the batteries still test at 95% of new. Another plus is that if a cell goes bad it can be replaced independently, you don't need to change the whole battery pack. If you want to replace the whole pack you can but from a dealer, you are looking at $10K plus. A remanufactured pack is only $3k. Vic if you are driving less than 30 miles per trip, get one of the Volts. You can plug it into a regular 110 outlet to charge. That 30-mile charge is going to cost you about 50 cents. I'm watching a few Volts and Volt LT's, Volt Premiums seem to like Black leather interiors, I contacted Clean cars 4 All, but so far only a return email as it may not be statewide yet.

Thats why petrol cars outpaced EV’s in the early beginning. Petrol was just easier to install and a few minutes to top off the tank. Most if not almost all EV makers for the US as of 2025 are switching to NACS(Lucid is now onboard) or J3400, NACS/J3400 is the new standard and was originally designed by Tesla. Solid state batteries will fix that, then it'll take about 5-10 mins to charge a car fully, and depending on the size and state of charge of the battery one could do that today unless the system can only charge with ac power instead of dc like in the VOLT, the BOLT can do ac/dc charging unlike it's cousin the VOLT. NACS AC/DC connector (center), shown between SAE J1772 (left) and Type 2 (right) AC connectors. Non-NACS DC connectors are larger. A solid-state battery is a battery technology that uses solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, instead of the liquid or polymer gel electrolytes found in lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries. Materials proposed for use as solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries include ceramics (e.g., oxides, sulfides, phosphates), and solid polymers. Lucid's electric vehicles will be able to plug into over 15,000 Tesla Superchargers in North America starting in 2025. The automaker is the latest entry in the growing list of companies pledging to support the North American Charging Standard (NACS), also known as the Tesla charging standard. Lucid will give customers access to a NACS adapter for its current vehicles, which are equipped with the Combined Charging System (CCS), in 2025. The company intends to start building NACS ports into its EVs within the same year, as well, so that newer models no longer need to use adapters. Ford was the first automaker to announce this year that it was going to give its customers access to Superchargers after the White House convinced Tesla to share its charging network with vehicles from other companies. In the months after that, Mercedes, Volvo, Polestar, Honda, Toyota (and Lexus), BMW, Hyundai and Subaru revealed that they will also give their customers access to NACS adapters and will ultimately incorporate the standard into their vehicles over the next two years.

Plus the circa 1865 Hoist takes 45 minutes to get 2-4 people out of the mine or to put people into the mine, I think the Hoist is slowing down. They have Brent(the main owner) up there, plus 3 Alpaca's, 6 goats(2 were recently born @ 8500', yes the population is booming from 4 to 6), 6 chickens, and 7 house cats. The Town is wired for electricity and has a cell tower. They can get snow as late as April and Death Valley is about 7 miles away. Oh and the town has a Library, built in to a former Dynamite adit which is not part of the mine.

Brent Underwood has been living at 8500' ever since and with a little help from his friends he's rebuilding a hotel and has made sure the sprinklers have enough water for at least 1 hour, the new hotel will look like the old one, but will be up to code in Inyo County and has a concrete foundation and block basement, there is a 40,000 gallon water tank for & next to the hotel, the area needs one of its own and a water well, two water springs had been tapped in the 19th century but had both gone dry, even at 8500' it's a desert that is 6-7 miles from Death Valley CA, currently there is water @ 350-500 gallons a day from the closed Silver/Lead/Zinc mine, but for the moment that is all there is, there is talk of employing a dowser or a water witch so a water well can be drilled. Currently Cerro Gordo I think is part of Lone Pine CA and is in California. Knob and tube wiring is bad and is suspected of being the cause of 3 buildings burning to the ground completely, there is no fire trucks there or hydrants and only a 7 mile dirt road that can get pretty tight and steep in places. Drifting along. The low this morning here was 48F, currently 64 and Sunny, predicted high of 74. Oh and one more thing, I have good news and bad news. Good news my trulicity prescription is in the RiteAid fridge. Bad news is RiteAid won't deliver my prescription cause it needs to be refrigerated and can only be out for 30mins at most.

Before Modern Humans had children with Neanderthals Modern Humans had brown skin and brown hair and either brown eyes or blue eyes. Of course not all Neanderthals had light colored skin, it varied, both Neanderthal and Human genes have been fully mapped out, Modern Humans share 30% of their genes with Neanderthals, though each person may only have 1.0%-2.0% or 1.0%-4.0%. Light colored skin has protection against rickets or vitamin D deficiency for those in Europe far from the Earth's equator. Light colored skin does not mean one is superior to someone with darker skin. Neanderthal genes in modern humans are the result of interbreeding between our ancestors and Neanderthals after they moved out of Africa12. The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background, and zero or close to zero in people of African background1. Neanderthal genes are associated with various traits, such as skin According to the Smithsonian Institution’s Human Origins Program, Neanderthals and modern humans share 1-4% of their DNA, depending on the region of the world your ancestors come from

One of these days I need to turn off this PC and do some work on it, probably when the ethernet cable and coupler get here around the 16th to 27th or when the power in the area goes off again, currently the PC battery is dead, so I shut down the browser cause of a memory leak from the browser and I have to relogin to everything. Pain is holding me back a bit too. Five dusty parts come out and six clean parts go in. So far Kix seems to agree with me, it may not be labeled as gluten free, but upon reading the list of ingredients the cereal seems to be just that, I went for the Berry flavor. So I ordered 2 more 18oz boxes and 2 boxes of Corn Chex, I'm down to one box of cereal here.

Do you use a commercial herbicide or a organic homemade one? If homemade, which one? I found the best time is as I mentioned, otherwise why bother since one would be wasting time & spray. And the last time the area around the house was sprayed for insects like Ticks I was the one who had to do it, the park will not and has trouble mowing the devils grass... But then out of 88 spaces, 27 are occupied, yet there are 40 homes(2 are not hooked up and can't be until the park performs the needed improvements) and no more are allowed to be moved in and hooked up cause the park has not updated the buried infrastructure, I expect an eventual state takeover and a new park owner sought once the current owner abandons the park. Yet rents continue upwards and people are talking about moving out. I even looked at a 3.76 acre property(land zoned rc) for about $52,100 which has a major paved road next to it, electric and cable and at a 2.6 acre property behind it that has the same qualities on a minor paved road for about $36,900, I just need to be fully electric and a construction loan might work, I would also need a building permit from county planning since my over built home is 36yrs old and no park would accept it plus other manufactured homes in the area on their own land are all older. Here a 2"x6" is dimensionally a 2"x6", not a skinny planed version. But then I don't have money for a 15'2"x76' home, though it would fit the area, I found one with an interior of 14'2".

I made it go belly up in the water. BSOD several times. I thought using a usb 3.0 port was okay for my iPhone SE first generation. Not hardly and I got windows giving me the finger saying “Nope, not, ain’t happening divided by hell no!” So I had to go back to the usb 2.0 port to make it happy again. My android likes usb 3.0, the computer of course needs a battery installed and a right angle adapter for a usb 3.0 port to be installed, to do either means pulling 2 video cards out as the cards are in the way, then installing 4 replacement dust free cards, then my PC will work ok again, I have everything prepositioned too, if I shut the browser down currently I have to log back in everywhere, to do all that is a real pain and I don't like pain... But no BSOD here.

The pliers is one that I repaired cause one of the insulating sleeves was falling off, a little superglue and it's been working perfectly for the last 30-40yrs, my shortsighted nephew thought wrongly that I should throw it out and buy a new one and he's not working perfectly now even if he is in remission from Leukemia... Yes the outlet is installed properly using the screws and not the bad stab in the back connectors, I didn't get shocked as I'm very careful not to get shocked.

I have been seeing what appears to be an 8-10 inch rise in the river levels which tells me that they are letting water out to make room. The current levels are shown below. The biggest impact will be to lake made. USGS expects an 8-foot water level increase. But there is a lot of room in that one. It’s 74F here, this area has received 0.33” of rain(0.37" now) and it’s light rain on Monday I’ll know the total for this area, I’ve seen worse hit here, this is nothing. Grace, Sylvester, Chitty, and myself are ok. Hilary’s rain, 0.33” so far(0.37" now) and 74F, Precip 100%. That’s Elephant Mountain in the distance, it’s the magma chamber of an extinct volcano...

My 15100 btu ac is also working quite well, eventually the ac and my 2.5ton gas furnance will both be replaced by two 12000 btu ductless heatpumps seer 20-23 @ 120v each. Current temp is 93 w/a high of 105.

But I have the invoice number so I can get a refund for the 1st and a refund on the core charge for the battery, at least the car has electricity now. Next month I'm hoping to install 3-4 power steering hoses, 2 motor mounts, a rubber felpro oil pan gasket, and maybe a rubber felpro valve cover gasket. Except for the valve cover gasket, all these need the block lifted off of the motor mounts. If I get this done, I'll either reduce the leaks or stop the leaks. After that a drivers side mirror and an adjustable steering column and change the key for the 3 doors and make 2 new keys from a straightened key. Eventually the a/c too. Someone parked my car under a pine tree, a car wash should fix that.

Since I have the invoice number I'll get a refund in store, when the car works, which hopefully will be this weekend.

NASA restores contact with Voyager 2 Controllers sent the wrong command to the 46-year-old spacecraft and tilted its antenna away from Earth. NASA's Deep Space Network sent a new command in hopes of repointing the antenna, using the highest powered transmitter at the huge radio dish antenna in Canberra. Voyager 2's antenna needed to be shifted a mere 2 degrees. It took more than 18 hours for the command to reach Voyager 2 — more than 19 billion kilometres away — and another 18 hours to hear back. The long shot paid off. The spacecraft started returning data again, according to officials at California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Maybe a mere angle, but it means that Voyager would have been transmitting and listening to a point 660,000,000 km away from Earth. And Earth at that distance is a mere period on the page.

The parts? Some 100pcs #10 1.25" wood screws, an hdmi cable, 80pcs dryer sheets, and a new EGR valve for my nearly 25yr old car. In the meantime I drilled and charged my drill a few times through 2 bed slats for an Ikea steel center beam support leg. In the background one can see a 48.4lb all steel box spring minus the cover, which if I put the cover on now might get clawed by 3 cats, I built this box spring myself, even though the instructions do recommend a 2nd person, the old metal & wood version weighs 49.2lbs. All drilling was done from my chair, including vacuuming all the wood shavings off of my jeans and the kitchen floor. The Ikea steel center beam is behind one of the slats and is held together w/a bolt, a flat washer, and a wingnut. Supervisor #1 Grace. Supervisor #2 Sylvester, and Supervisor #3 Chitty. I'm hoping one of these days I can get a contractor to fix my floors, replacing my bathroom vanity and sink is relativity easy... The old vanity or what is left of it from dry rot...

In August buy and assemble a bathroom vanity, in September buy the bathroom sink, in October have both installed as that will fix my rotting vanity in there, then have a toilet installed by a local plumber in November or in October if funds permit, I need to see if a flooring contractor would fix the floor under any new flooring where it's a bit soft, like in the rear bathroom or the hallway or in the kitchen.

Buried utilities! Don't forget RR track has to be very close to level, changing its grade can be a many miles long project for just a few feet of elevation. Lower tunnel? You can't run a tunnel boring machine through it to make it bigger now, so that means pick and shovel. How many man hours? Remember the construction for the original transcontinental RR? You are right RR land is private, and that means the land on either side is as well, no expansion of width, ergo no electrification in places. Don't forget if the mains are all electric then all the spur tracks must be too and the RR's don't own a large number of them, so who pays for that or do we just shut down an industry? SCE is insulating low voltage lines. The only insulator for high tension lines is feet of air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXiOQCRiSp0 You did read the power in Megawatts of each locomotive didn't you? You do realize each engine is the same as the draw for a small town. There can be 10 on a single train. That power isn't delivered by low voltage. The real world is not built as you imagine it should be. no profit = inflation I was replying to tunnels, a bridge would have to be replaced, lowering a railroad tunnel floor has been done, point of fact here's one and it has a 12.4" gas main. The tunnel, constructed in 1860, originally had an overall height of approximately 17 feet (5.2 m) (prior to the 2008 repairs, which lowered the floor of the tunnel) and a width of roughly 14 feet (4.3 m) at the base, increasing to approximately 16 feet (4.9 m) wide at approximately 9 feet (2.7 m) above top of rail. The tunnel provides passage for a single track over ballast. The track grade is generally level. Land the railroad owns is generally pretty wide, like about 100' or so, wide enough for double tracks if needed in the future. Most small railroads almost shut down on their own by not being able to maintain their tracks.Why? Cause most CUSTOMERS have gone to having trucks serve them instead of the small railroads. Electric locos have higher hp than any diesel, so less would be required, catenary makes 10,000hp easy, but then there are no fuel tanks, no heavy engine, and no heated exhaust... Most container trains have 6 diesels on the head end(about 4000hp each max), and a helper at the rear, an electric container train would be 4 locos, 3 in front and 1 at the rear(assumes 10,000hp each). I didn't say low, you did and I quote from smart-energy.com, you might need to prove you are human there, I did, it took a couple of tries... Southern California Edison (SCE), will begin insulating power lines in Valencia in preparation for the wildfire season. The work has been deemed critical and the utility said the crews will practice physical distancing while doing the installations. Six spans of bare wire will be replaced with covered conductor near the I-5 Freeway. This insulation will help prevent power line damage during extreme weather.

If a railroad can go thru there so can catenary, which electric trains use, 3rd rail is dangerous. Catenary was strung up back way before 1950 on the MLW, so it should be less of a problem than diesels are. On existing tunnels, in the NW I think so, at least if they were built prior to 1974, otherwise a railroads track could be lowered making the tunnel taller or if the overhead rock burden was thin enough day lighted. Is the right of way wide enough, there is no simple answer as that depends on where one is at, in a tunnel it's bolted to the walls or ceiling. Population density is not the problem, yes it is in Europe, yet there is catenary on the Trans Siberian Railway in Russia, so Density is Bogus. All freight railroads in the US are private, this includes the land the tracks are on up to the tracks, the cars and locos and the railroad police. The main problem is they don't want to spend the money, the government could in a heartbeat, all railroads would need to meet this standard, the auto industry did, so why can't the railroads? Going back to non smog equipped autos or not going to electric ain't happening as the rest of the world is going electric. Florida is flooding in the south and that will take weeks if not months to go away, in the Tulare Depression in CA, Tulare Lake is growing bigger and stopping that is currently not an option, so flooding that part of the ancient lake bed of the central valley in CA is happening south of the Kings River.

Europe though still uses buffer and chain couplers on their freight trains, the US, Canada, and Mexico use only the Janney coupler for freight unlike in the wiki that says "largely" which is old, but not as old as in Europe, only the brake hoses in a Janney coupler requires a person to hand couple each car by hand to another car or locomotive. Freight railroads in North America needs to become all electric, just like the Milwaukee Road used to be... Oh and the MLW had to buy most of the land it needed since it received few if any federal land grants...

For the moment, the only real parts I can't get are the long bars and the plastic back plate, but since I only need the long metal bars for two intel cpus, they could be be cnc'd after being reverse engineered, I asked Deepcool to release the parts and designs into the public domain if they are not going to use them again, I'll mention if they do get back to me on this, the screws and such they still make, I have the shorter bars but they're for AMD cpus only.

The Senate is aiming for a late April markup of the Railway Safety Act of 2023, which would further regulate railroads after the East Palestine, Ohio, disaster. The Feb. 3 38-car train derailment led to a chemical spill in that Ohio town of about 4,700 people, a few miles west of the Pennsylvania state line. The episode became a controlled burn, with a temporary evacuation of most locals, and triggered disputes over possible soil and air contamination. For now, the railroads are not publicly fighting the legislation. “[The Association of American Railroads] has not opposed the bill but has noted there are elements that could use closer evaluation,” Ted Greener, spokesman for the AAR, which represents railroads before Congress, told the Washington Examiner. Whether that amounts to the railroads keeping their powder dry, however, remains to be seen. That likely will have a lot to do with the final shape that the bill takes..... But something certainly needs to be done Cheers. Some think this doesn't go far enough, some think the freight railroads which are all privately owned in the USA should be Nationalized once again similar to what the USRA was, but this time permanently like in Europe, let the companies run the trains, but have government own the land the tracks sit on(row), own the tracks, do the maintenance, and own the trains.

Chat in Messenger has been quiet since then. There was a question that has to be referred to the owners of semper solaris in regards to my earthquake resistant foundation system, my home is bolted to the ground and to concrete and has resisted a 7.1 quake. It's beefier than mere jacks and better than mere concrete, but then it's county mandated and cost me $1,500.00 in late 2006, it was worth the money. If they say no, I intend to mount asap four 400w(1600w total) flexible solar panels(21.25"x40.87") on top of 4 hollow polycarbonate insulating sheets(24"x48") that would allow air to circulate under the solar panels(photovoltaic), plus maybe light gray stained waferboard, maybe, plus two waterproof 800w micro inverters w/a 120vac output and a 30Amp 120v breaker, each panel is supposed to be rated at 8 Amps. Where would this go? On my east wall as it gets a lot of sun, some of it reflected, the panels are pretty light at about 5-6lbs each, the inverters are about as light in weight as each panel and in a silver-gray color and is meant to mount as close to the panels as possible.

Maybe some design flaw?... Stay safe folks! Martin The entire train has air brakes and so the brakes go from one end to the other. That said here's a better explanation: A railway air brake is a railway brake power braking system with compressed air as the operating medium.[1] Modern trains rely upon a fail-safe air brake system that is based upon a design patented by George Westinghouse on April 13, 1869.[2] The Westinghouse Air Brake Company was subsequently organized to manufacture and sell Westinghouse's invention. In various forms, it has been nearly universally adopted. The Westinghouse system uses air pressure to charge air reservoirs (tanks) on each car. Full air pressure causes each car to release the brakes. A subsequent reduction or loss of air pressure causes each car to apply its brakes, using the compressed air stored in its reservoirs.

Don't know how ture it is, but i've heard of the Ford Pinto, and the problem with it's fuel tank in a collision. Supposedly Ford figured out it was cheaper to payoff for any deaths or injuries that occurred than to recall & repair the entire production of Pintos that were affected. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the railways have done the same cost/benefit analysis. Save so much money by cutting back on maintenance/ increasing servicing intervals. Whatever costs are incurred as a result of the anticipated increase in accidents & incidents will still be paid for by the reduced maintenance costs (at least until the lack of maintenance & age of the fleets reaches the point where the accidents & incidents go well beyond the earlier estimates & the whole business starts collapsing in on itself. By that time those that made the decisions will have picked up all their bonuses for improving the bottom line (even though it was only temporary & a result of accounting double speak) and have moved on to greener pastures). Ain't free enterprise great? Out here east of where I live at the UPRR had a derailment, it was a runaway freight train, so no one got hurt, the contents? Iron Ore... Pretty much only the 2 mangled locos could be seen, the 55 cars? Bits and pieces... The BNSF had a derailment in Aridzona back on March 15th near the i40... The Daily Press has an article on it here.

Step one clean the cube case of dust, even using the crevice tool some dust remains, but this step is complete. And no the tallest tower case next to the cube is not the one to be transplanted from, it's the bottom case on the cart. How broken is the bottom case? All I have to do is lift the case by the top metal section where a 420 radiator could go and the top of the case lifts away from the bottom of the case, the case didn't use to do this... Both cases on the cart can hold a 420mm radiator, currently the top case has a 360mm installed while the bottom case has no radiator installed. Yes it does seem like a lot of work, the cubes are just in better shape and fit better here. Both cube cases(Corsair Air 540's, 1 in Black can be seen if you look at the floor beyond the cart, the other is in Gray) will fit in the bottom of the cart, I measured both the cart and a cube case.

Putting it in is the easy part. Removing it off the floor joists is a ROYAL pain in the furniture polisher TIMES 3. No worries I'll have someone do the floor repair, the fiberboard under the flooring fell away when water from an over flowing ice maker hit it, someone wanted ice cubes made faster and poured water into my icemaker which caused the water coming from the water line to overflow to the floor, last repair estimate was for $900, being it's just me and 3 cats, it'll wait. The linoleum is still there of course. I just fixed my HP DJ+ 4140 printer by installing a replacement plastic feeder tray that I bought from ebay last month, which was not easy, but after a struggle and not breaking that plastic part, it's repaired and as good as new. Then I made sure the printer cartridge still worked and then I printed the liheap application and fill out the forms and other info liheap needs, on March 31st I get to mail it all in a USPS priority mail legal size envelope as I'm broke currently, I sure won't buy legal sized paper again. I also made sure my tv antenna mount was installed, I combined some velcro, 2 stick on round steel plates for a cell phone, and a TV L bracket, so that my tv antenna could be fully in the window, I did a rescan and so far so good.

To get a signal, I needed these parts to get the antenna to the window on the opposite wall from the Vizio V555-J01 tv, this does about as well as the amplified Winegard Squareshooter UHF antenna in the living room. Youtube comes in perfectly on an 802.11ac connection @ 5GHz via my TP-Link ac1750 router's wifi connection. The antenna has a 16.5' coax cable and the HiDB amp has about 0.5' of coax.

Why people in Hawaii are abuzz over 2 simultaneous volcanic eruptions. The goddess of fire is alive and well on Hawaii's Big Island, where two of the most famous volcanoes in the world are erupting at the same time. An auspicious and spiritual tone has struck the island as the glow of the lava oozing from Mauna Loa, the largest volcano in the world, and Kilauea, one of the most active volcanos in the world, ignites the landscape of Hawaii's Big Island, a sign that Pele, the Polynesian goddess of fire, is blessing the land, experts told ABC News.... Hawaii built on a bed of marbles. These slides rank among the world's largest landslides. This should really not come as a surprise since the islands really are built on a foundation of "watermelons and marbles" (pillow lava and sand) that rises 15,000-20,000 feet above the surrounding seafloor.

Asap I need to go to the local ER and get my right arm and hand xrayed since lifting anything, even my 10lb cat is painful to do, even with 2 Bayer Back & Body pills in me, without those pills I have trouble laying down since both will start hurting on contact with the bed. My theory? Both are stress fractured. It's so bad that I can't get into my car as a passenger and I did try that already. Monday the old dead tv screen is being picked up for disposal by Burrtec Waste Disposal on Monday as it's e-waste, the screen has to be near the dumpster on Sunday night. A friend will hoof the 40lb screen out there for me. Grace has at 14.5 years old, Osteoarthritis... She hurts and I hurt when I lift her, 10lbs should be nothing, yet here I am. Sylvester is ok and asleep, Grace has lately been jumping on my right knee and then walking towards my left shoulder, today she didn't do that, so I guess I need to let her jump on my knee.

The long screws do work as intended and are difficult to mount 3 fans to the radiator, but the short screws only work to mount the radiator to the case, at 6mm long they are ok for this, but for mounting the fans to the radiator they are too short, so I have on order some 6-32 5/16"(7.9375mm) machine screws to try and fix this problem. So I can mount the radiator and fans as a unit to the case since I want to be able to dust the radiator from time to time. The 6mm screw can on one corner mount a fan to the radiator but not on all 4 corners as the screws are just too short. If I went to 6-32 3/8" screws this would be 9.525mm in length and I'm not sure if M3.5-0.6 thread size screws would work in place of 6-32 screws.

Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post) Don`t forget to have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad Batch: Wrecker: Fun? Ya mean I get to destroy some clankers?

We started to get smoke from the Yosemite fire. Winds from the NW today and the sky will be clear. Now, this is new. We have a tropical storm heading our way. That's about a once-in-a-lifetime event in California. I remember one hit when I was about 10. 1% here too, we've had 0.03" of rain which is enough to get the car or house windows dirty.

I'd like a 2016-2017 Nissan Leaf SV(107 miles) or a 2017-2018 Ford Focus Electric(115 miles) or a Ford Edge(gasoline) or a Ford Focus(gasoline) if the first two are out of my price range since used BEVs are high in demand. I'd thought about the Chevy Volt hybrid(53 miles on the battery), but it's too expensive for the moment to buy as is the Chevy Bolt(238-259 miles on the battery). Sylvester is good at chasing his tail, lots of laughs and kitty exercise w/a kitty laser pointer. Grace @ 14 is almost as good and Orangus Tabbius(Chitty) is about the least energetic. Grace in this pic is the middle kitty, Sylvester is on the left, Chitty is on the right.

OLKILUOTO ISLAND, Finland ? From the outside, it looks like any other modern Nordic building rising several stories from a cleared swath of pine forest on this quiet, rural island off this country’s verdant southwest coast. But inside, hard-hatted workers are busy completing a feat of engineering that has never existed. It involves a robotic system and a basement network of switch backing tunnels carved more than 1,300 feet into the Earth’s crust. Once finished, the project, called Onkalo, will turn the page to a new chapter of nuclear energy’s turbulent 80-year story and make history for the power plant just a two-minute drive down the road. In a matter of months, the machines inside this boxy gray building will begin a weekly routine that will continue for a century: placing highly radioactive gray cuboid rods into copper cylinders the length of a Lincoln Town Car. From there, the canisters will travel roughly two hours underground to crypts meant to keep the spent-fuel rods undisturbed for millennia in bedrock that geologists say hasn’t shifted in almost 2 billion years. Sealed twice over in bentonite clay ? which expands when wet, preventing water from seeping in and corroding the capsules, and offers stability in case of an earthquake ? this site is meant to entomb nuclear waste for as close to eternity as any human endeavor can guarantee.

The faucet still needs replacing, one of these days I’ll call heart plumbing and have them install a replacement faucet that I have here, lots of projects and not much money. I tried to orient the waterer so that maybe one could eat and one could drink at the same time, I don’t know if that will work, but we’ll see. The countertop between the sink and the waterer is cleared of any non cat related objects which includes any dust and debris. The above pic is before I slowly filled the waterer, all of them fit under the cabinets. It does provide water, even if the faucets sprayer is almost totally clogged with calcium carbonate. I cleaned the sprayer out with a pocket knife as best as I could.

I cleared off the kitchen countertop for Duo’s feeder and the waterer for both, though the cat carrier is there now. Oh and there has been NO Hissing or Booing or anything, outside of me needing to go to the bathroom as I’d been cooped up in my car almost all day… Happy St Valentines Day all! I gave him some Sheba canned cat food, like about 1.5oz, so far he’s not hungry. He wasn’t supposed to have anything to eat until after 6pm, it’s after 8pm. The ice maker is making ICE, yep the ICE Age restarts here! ;) Grace and Duo meet, there’s no hissing, he’s still groggy and can’t eat a lot, some canned food and some DHMO every few hours, he has tape holding the incision closed so I was told it’s ok to leave him in the carrier to keep him from jumping and tearing himself open. Duo is not interested in the Cuisine here, maybe when he gets hungry. It’s Sheba TUNA... Grace is very interested in him, I think Grace likes Duo.

The old 1st avenue bridge was out yesterday, someone had a head on collision, closed until further notice. This bridge was built in 1930. Barstow is keeping its First Avenue Bridge closed as it assesses the damage a Wednesday head-on car crash did to the already problematic piece of infrastructure. The crash occurred between drivers taking the same curve from opposing directions sometime around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday. It left both cars totaled and pinned against barriers on each side of the bridge that visibly buckled slightly against the impact.

Yermo translated from Spanish means Wilderness. I'll be out credit card debt by December 2022, but then I've been doing this for 19 months, 12 to go. Soon I'm going to have an adjustable steering column installed, which means I'll have to move the old interlock w/new 12mm bolts and steering wheel to the new column. Why move the interlock? The "new" column uses a different key than my car does. I'm making a certain Cat Gawd happy, at least I think I am at least as I'm building her a cat tree that Grace received for Catmas, see thread #311 for a pic. And I'll be applying for Social Security in 2022 since I'll be 62 this year.

The Zinus Allen ratchet works great here which came w/a Zinus Box Spring for my bed, it’s purrfect, the included tool I tossed. Step 5 is attaching the 3 platforms on the tray table to the posts on the left, then it will be done. >>> Under Construction <<< Grace’s Cat Tree she got for Catmas in 2021. Attach the top cat enclosure before the top posts or you’ll be sorry… The bottom ramp is as tight as I could make it w/a supplied screw, an allen bolt would have made the ramps super easy to install... The sides of the enclosures are made out of a solid type of cardboard or maybe thin masonite or something, the top and bottoms are ok. I haven't seen Grace sniffing at the Cat Tree, but then she’s been sleeping or I have and it’s not done yet. I only stopped as I ran out of energy and my thighs were sweating and everything was hurting... No bugs were seen last night, if they had been they would have been hurt and it was as low as 25F last night, BRR! Since I had some time after my nap I washed the dishes and stainless flatware, emptied Grace’s bin for her litterbox into the toilet and flushed the corn based litter. And I’m all out of Coke Zero too…

Here's how it breaks down: Everest stands 29,035 feet above sea level. Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet above seal level, but the mountain extends about 19,700 feet below the Pacific Ocean. Over half of it is submerged. That puts the total height of Mauna Kea at about 33,500 feet — nearly a mile taller than Everest. Take that Everest...

Here the smaller lights are switched off. It's plug and play so to speak with a phillips screwdriver and some elbow grease. The bright light will sometimes not light up when the drivers side door is opened, but that's a switch problem. The original light in my car except for the color looked like this and I think dates as far back as 1991.

Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post)

A lifetime warranty, good deal. I may yet get that 36mpg, on the last MAF & engine I got 33mpg. One day I have to work on what amounts to the clutch, the car a/c, some leaks under the hood(power steering and oil), the cold soldered tachometer, and then the windshield come next for the car, the house is next for a new bathroom window cause of bug problems that I'm having. I'm also losing weight, my belt and pants are getting hard to keep up, I think I'm below 475lbs, I'll have to weigh myself asap again. In any case I'm tired and a bit sore now since I also bought some gasoline for the car and I bought some food today, all the food is put away and my freezer is full.

The old MAF sensor was 22yrs old and p1131 said it was dirty/defective so it was replaced since it had been cleaned recently. I'm still losing weight too, I was 475lbs when I last weighed myself, my jeans are getting hard to keep up.

Over the weekend a friend will install the new MAF sensor, the p1131 code says the existing MAF is defective or dirty(it had been cleaned already), that should extinguish the check engine light provided everything else is ok like the failed smog check said. There were no bugs on my bed last night or this morning. I paid the rent, paid for my check into cash bill, and bought some food. Getting in the car is getting easier thanks to me losing 43lbs, though easier does not mean it's not difficult still, I'm down to 475lbs now.

I had to unzip the whole thing, and I had to remove the top and bottom sheets and pillows, I also had to evict Grace as she likes my bed. At first I started to put it on wrong, then I put one side on top and stretched it like a bottom sheet, then starting from the bottom right I slowly zipped it shut while moving the bottom side of the cover towards the head end and breathing hard and sweating all the while, the zipper ends at the bottom left just short of the corner, not long after I put the bottom sheet back on, then I tossed the top sheet on the bed to do later and I turned the light off and came out here to cool off and catch my breath. Left side of bed on the floor near the light is a white square, the white square is a bed bug trap. The Chocolate mattress has a creamy white core, coconut maybe?

I was told a nurse can get the window replaced, that will be nice if that's true. My Doctors Office called, but not the interview for the Nurse, unless it was for IHSS & the Nurse in the Doctors call.

I do have at least 5qts 5w20 synthetic oil(my car needs 4.5qts), 4 spark plugs, plus 2 rubber gaskets(oil pan and valve cover). There is no public transit here, not even dial a ride. My DMV registration deadline is 09/08/2021, after that it's sent to a collection agency and the amount goes up from $135, I can afford the fee as I'd planned for the $135.

Technically I need to spray a circle around my home with some Ortho Home Defense spray, but then I have somewhat less than 1 gallon of the spray left which should be enough. Also I should find a short serrated knife and cut away some of that foam I'd sprayed in the bathroom window frame and see where I missed and caulk any holes that I find with some GE silicon caulk that I have here.

I'll be committing Mass Bugacide... Before I go to bed tonight I'm spraying around each foot of my bed, it's a good thing there are only 4 legs and that the Ortho sprayer can spray at any angle. I had a small orange bug(a clover mite) land on me and it's the 3rd I've seen in here, earlier today I killed what might be a black tick by drowning it. Of course for 3 hours all 3 foggers will be active and Grace & I will have to be out in the car, then 2 hours to pump the fog out by turning the LG window a/c unit on to bring outside air in and to open 4 windows and the front door. The 3 foggers can do 744sqft, my home is 810sqft in size, the difference might be the studs, closed attics, & the space where the gas water heater is at since it's pretty close to what I measured at one time of all the rooms here which is about 759sqft. Then Hot Shot will continue for 6 weeks all by itself, it smites mites. I have not seen anymore try and get in past the Ortho barrier, so some must be inside still. I was hoping that I would not need to, but it seems that I must, so be it. Graces food that is out will have to go back into the refridge and her water emptied and stowed in the refridge too, if I can. I think I was bitten, which might explain me not being able to carry much when I walked, its been about 3 weeks since I could carry something while walking, tonight I carried a full glass of punch & a forearm crutch.

If it weren't for my stiff legs & bad hip joints it wouldn't be so hard doing anything, like bringing in groceries from the car where I brought 5 of 15 in and a friend brought in the other 10(usually once a month), vacuuming, taking the trash out, taking the rent to the managers office, taking the 2L bottles to be recycled for $, plus other misc tasks. One of these days sometime in 2023 I'm going to get a 2016-2019 Chevy Volt as I need the hip room that a 1999 Ford Escort zx2 can't give me. Just vacuuming the back bedroom & back bathroom and only mostly took 4 days. The 4 bags to the right of the tv are trash, to the left are 3 bags with enough for a 4th bag of crushed 2L bottles to be recycled.

I also had to figure out how to get on and off the bed since this is different from the old setup, I'm leaving the forearm crutch at the head of the bed when I'm there. Grace laid on my bed a lot with me, though if I turned on my right side she jumped off even though she was not in my way at all, the bottom sheet made a difference in getting on & off.

My neighbor came by and moved everything into place with only some help from me. I helped get the bed spring in place and the bagged mattress isn’t going back, the bag could not be removed intact, we had to both tear the multilayer bag to pieces. I sat on it for a few minutes, it’s nearly 85F in there now. So by Friday at 7pm I can start making my bed and sleep in an unair-conditioned bedroom. I also moved the night stand back in place and reconnected the light after I took this pic. The bedspring comes right up to the top of the bed frame. This project is now put to bed.

I get to tell him I think I might have had covid-19 as I had a decent amount of the symptoms, of course I still can't go anywhere yet thanks to my toes, though they are getting better, probably in a week I can go to the Post Office and call and see if the office has a long haulers test yet. If I did, the J&J shot helped, that and vitamin D3 in a 5000IU dose, having an O negative blood type from what I read from some studies didn't hurt, yep no antigens here. In other news, I was able to move part of my bed frame over to the wall at the foot of the bed, next I need to get a bag out and bag a bunch of crushed 2L bottles and then move the cooler, move a chair, and clothes off of a hook and the bed spring can then be dragged to the bedroom where I should be able to put it in the bed frame. Turning the bed spring on end requires a decent amount of ceiling height which is not available in my bedroom. Not long after do the same almost for the mattress before unbagging the mattress which has to expand for 48 hours before the bed can be made. My bed seems to be my biggest project so far, of course it was done a little at a time when I had the energy.

When in ancient Rome, don’t drink as the Romans do. High-born Romans sipped beverages cooked in lead vessels and channeled spring water into their homes through lead pipes (pictured). Some historians argue that lead poisoning plagued the Roman elite with diseases such as gout and hastened the empire's fall. Now, a team of archaeologists and scientists has discovered just how contaminated Roman tap water was. The team dredged sediment downstream from Rome in the harbor basin at Portus, a maritime port of imperial Rome, and from a channel connecting the port to the Tiber River. The researchers compared the lead isotopes in their sediment samples with those found in preserved Roman piping to create a historical record of lead pollution flowing from the Roman capital. Tap water from ancient Rome likely contained up to 100 times more lead than local spring water,

1502) Message boards : Cafe SETI : TLPTPHW#306 (Message 2079826) Posted 12 Jul 2021 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I just got back in from a trip to Barstow and back, two friends needed to get some dog and cat food, pay bills, I got some gas for the car, it was 97F when we left and 109F when when got back, I even got $10. I still think I'm losing weight, as getting in the car was a bit easier over the last 3 times and some clothing is fitting better, of course getting out of the car was not easy as my pants and shirt were wet from the heat. Of course there is no dial a ride or bus line here, where one friend lives there is a bus line about 2 miles from here, but they only allow 4 bags per person. Once the car has the proper steering column and steering wheel installed, then I can go to the ER and have my left thigh looked at again, several months back I had a hole in the skin there, it's back and a bit bloody as ever, it's not that I can see it, I can see the evidence left behind on my clothing, not to mention painful to get up with and right now sit on, though sitting is getting easier as my seat dries out. The temp inside is 84F and is 111F outside and there is a 2% chance of something called "rain" outside...

I told that to my Doctors office and suddenly it's "are you sure you don't have covid?" Sigh... I'm vaccinated and largely I stay home as I've done since 2004 and I only go out for supplies or to do something like go to the Doctor or to have work done on what is now a too small car, my legs get shoved together below the knees and that makes my legs hurt since both hips were dislocated in 2002 and both had no corrective surgery, just pills, it's cheaper. I drove the car yesterday and this morning my legs hurt, before I drove yesterday my legs were not hurting, it seems to take a few days before I can get back to normal, whatever normal is... Until then my legs are just throbbing. Oh and I think I am losing some weight since getting in the car was a bit easier, an adjustable steering wheel upgrade that I plan on doing will help there, just not with my legs being squeezed like an orange. It was 117F yesterday, currently the temp is 109F.

I'm going to have my hip xrayed soon and I get a ride there and back. It's getting hard to walk on my right hip, even with 3 types of pain pills in me. The left can be a pain, but it's not as bad as the right which in 2002 came almost entirely out when I broke my left shin, the left hip didn't dislocated quite as much then. I found a place that will install in my car an adjustable steering wheel, they said they'd be caught up around the 13th, hopefully it won't exceed $135 since I have to leave $50 for cable internet if Spectrum doesn't honor their word of 1-2 billing cycles after the 10th and give me the EBB benefit that the FCC says I am eligible for.

When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post). And may the lucky poster win. ;-)

1581) Message boards : Cafe SETI : TLPTPHW#305 (Message 2078027) Posted 16 Jun 2021 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Best Climate and Site for Growing Banana Bananas grow best in humid tropical regions. In the United States bananas can be grown in USDA Zones 9 through 11. A few cultivars can survive in cold regions with protection, as cold as Zone 5. The optimal temperature for banana growing is 78° to 86°F. Plants require 10 to 15 months of frost-free weather to produce a flower stalk. Most varieties stop growing when temperatures drop below 57° Freezing temperatures will kill the foliage. Conversely, bananas will also begin to slow growth at 80°F and stop growing at 100°F. In very hot weather, bananas must receive ample water. Bananas grow best in full sun, but the leaves and fruit will sunburn and scorch in bright sunlight when temperatures are high. Check the growing requirements of the variety you choose to grow; in some locations, some varieties are best planted in partial shade. Plant bananas in compost-rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Bananas prefer a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Protect bananas from wind for maximum yield. Bananas are susceptible to wind damage; they can be uprooted and blown over by the wind. It is best to plant bananas in a block or clump of several plants. Block planting allows shallow-rooted plants to support one another; block planting also increases humidity around plants; plants in the center or blocks tend to fruit the best because they are protected from the wind. A block might be 5 rows of 5 plants in each row; each plant spaced about 5 feet apart. Banana plants near harvest time

The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension the North Atlantic Drift, is a warm and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and stretches to the tip of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States and Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean as the North Atlantic Current. The process of western intensification causes the Gulf Stream to be a northwards accelerating current off the east coast of North America. At about 40°0?N 30°0?W, it splits in two, with the northern stream, the North Atlantic Drift, crossing to Northern Europe and the southern stream, the Canary Current, recirculating off West Africa. The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland, and the west coast of Europe.

To be honest, it really wouldn’t be Klingon if it didn’t have a bit of spice, right? For this reason, if you want to kick it up a notch, feel free to throw in a few interesting ingredients like cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to your drink. Having said that, some people like the drink on the sweet side as well, which illustrates how varied the experience can be. I’ve had both variations, and both can be pleasing to the palate. As a matter of fact, the recipes that I am going to show you blend both savoriness and sweetness so that you can have a unique experience when you first taste this drink.

My gnu longer & wider shoes in brown should be here by UPS on Friedday the 7th, until then I'm house bound as my old shoes are making my right foot hurt in my heel. Next month or asap I'm ordering 2 pairs of black 9xl jeans and an 8xl shirt in blue, I had wanted to get 3 shirts with one each in red, green, and blue, but I'll see if they're in stock when I do order them. 3 shirts @ $31ea and 2 jeans @ $60ea would be almost $220 total which includes hemming to the jeans plus shipping, the $220 is before taxes. It's 83F here in Yermo CA and in Kingman AZ it's 77F, my relatives are moving to Kingman they said, so much for Scottsdale AZ. Kingman has 13hrs and 40mins of daylight today and 4% more humidity, which is more than Yermo has. So far they're treating my nephews cancer, beyond that I don't know what to say as I don't know much else.

The Noid, Domino’s annoying pizza-destroying mascot from the ‘80s, is coming back to stop self-driving pizza delivery cars, and also to fight Crash Bandicoot. That’s not a sentence you expected to read, and I didn’t expect to write it, but here we are. Welcome to whatever version of reality this is. Announced today, Domino’s is bringing back the Noid, a villainous character who first appeared in the pizza chain’s commercials in 1986. After starring in commercials, video games, and more for a few years as part of a bizarre marketing campaign, the Noid fell out of fashion around the same time a man in 1989 held Domino’s employees hostage, seemingly over his anger about the character. But it’s 2021 and everything is stupid now, so the Noid is back.

Until then the box spring will have to sit on the slats.

No hand sawing, I'm not capable of doing the work, though I know someone here who could. My bedposts are 100% wood, so this should work. The head board was not made with a center beam in mind.

EV solid state batteries are being developed, by Toyota among others. Solid-state automotive battery could transform EV industry. More powerful, longer lasting, faster charging. Those promises are being made about a newly designed lithium battery that could up-end the current race to power a future generation of electric vehicles.

My current car has an OBD, but at 22yrs old is now exempt by law from smog checks, but it is 22yrs old and some parts are either non existent or hard to find or getting expensive. TL You're lucky if you were not born anywhere in the LA basin, I was born in Los Angeles in 1960 and I have asthma from the dense smog and the oil/gas refineries that are there, among other intense sources of smog, smog that from offshore looked like a big stationary brown cloud with yellow around the edges. Plus I have a hiatal hernia that I was born with as a complication, clean air is much better than air that except for when it rains is very dirty and static, in LA it's called an inversion layer and that just holds the smog in place, LA used to look a lot like Almaty in Kazakhstan. An inversion traps air pollution, such as smog, close to the ground. An inversion can also suppress convection by acting as a "cap". If this cap is broken for any of several reasons, convection of any moisture present can then erupt into violent thunderstorms In LA we didn't always get rain, we got downpours. These Permanent Codes seem to be for diagnostic purposes as in Trouble Codes according to the BAR. As such they should be helpful in fixing a car like when something is malfunctioning and I like stuff that works correctly.

The exact origins of the boysenberry are unclear, but the most definite records trace the plant as it is known today back to grower Rudolph Boysen, who obtained the dewberry–loganberry parent from the farm of John Lubben.[5] In the late 1920s, George M. Darrow of the USDA began tracking down reports of a large, reddish-purple berry that had been grown on Boysen's farm in Anaheim, California.[6] Darrow enlisted the help of Walter Knott, another farmer, who was known as a berry expert. Knott had never heard of the new berry, but he agreed to help Darrow in his search. Darrow and Knott learned that Boysen had abandoned his growing experiments several years earlier and sold his farm. Undaunted by this news, Darrow and Knott headed out to Boysen's old farm, on which they found several frail vines surviving in a field choked with weeds. They transplanted the vines to Knott's farm in Buena Park, California, where he nurtured them back to fruit-bearing health. Walter Knott was the first to commercially cultivate the berry in Southern California.[6] He began selling the berries at his farm stand in 1932 and soon noticed that people kept returning to buy the large, tasty berries. When asked what they were called, Knott said, "Boysenberries," after their originator.[7] His family's small restaurant and pie business eventually grew into Knott's Berry Farm. As the berry's popularity grew, Mrs. Knott began making preserves, which ultimately made Knott's Berry Farm famous.

Though without solar and/or a geothermal or ground source heatpump the bill can be more expensive, a smooth top electric range is easy to keep clean compared to the gas range that I have. Current total gas and electric costs per month is about $136 a month, though summer is not here yet and that would be about $205 a month or so with what I currently run. The only a/c that works here is 120v window units, but that is a park wide problem, next door has a central a/c unit that can't be used cause the electric service here is too old and small. PC's are 120v here, in theory I could run a psu off of 240v, but they take up a lot of room and there is no room for 6-240v breakers in the current box. 240v breakers take up 2-1 inch spaces, top is the 100 amp main breaker.

I've been slowly repairing my home since early 2007, it's getting there. Some of what I've done has liberated some income from the electrical bill that I had. This home should have a 100 amp service, instead it's running @ 60% of that, any electrical work on my home has been done by licensed personnel when my skills or ability would not suffice. Back in 2006 when the park had different owners and personnel, they tried hooking the 100 amp stub up to the park cables directly and there was no power, so they hooked up a 60 amp breaker in the stub and I had power, the 60 amp and 100 amp breakers in the stub I think are connected together and it's been like that ever since then. Technically the homes breaker box and stub could hold a 125 amp main breaker in each, but I'd need an electrician to see if that would work or not as the box is outfitted w/a 100 amp breaker, plus I'd need another 60 amps from the park too. 25% out of spec or get a bigger breaker box, a bigger box is preferable if I don't need to rewire the home. I still need to have 4 - 20 amp 120v breakers and 4 outlets installed, plus install the 10 amp 120v breaker for the gas furnace while removing the unneeded 50 amp 240v breaker that was there for an a/c unit that is long gone and get a 40 amp 240v breaker for EV charging w/a 14-50 weather proof and lockable outlet. Though I'm not buying a 40 amp breaker right now as I'll leave that to later since I could hook up the 60 amp breaker if it's feasible. Of the 4 - 20 amp outlets, one is for a treadmill, the other three are for the PCs near the TV. I'd have had all of this done years ago, but loans end at the park boundary. With my current breaker box I still can't go full electric and/or solar, so water heating, clothes drying, the furnace, and most likely the range have to stay on natural gas until further notice.

Fish do that :-) Now there's a question: In the inland vastness that is the USA, are there entire communities that have no swimming pool and the people have never experienced open water? I can barely take care of myself these days, the old pool here is cracked and has no lifeguard and is not setup for swimming lessons to a guy with OA and 4 unrepaired dislocated joints(both hips & shoulders), I'm eligible for having my right hip joint replaced if I can lose some weight though I was not told how much to lose, the park is not touching the pool, the extra home spaces have been converted into parking spaces since to expand the park from 61 spaces to the full 88 spaces they would have to upgrade the water, sewer, nat gas, and electrical first as they are all ancient. Right now all the park is doing is refurbishing every home in the park that they own plus the appearance of the park, anything underground might be worked on at a later date as would the rotting streets, just not now. A while back the park owner got suckered by some people and got streets that look ok but are just covered with crack sealant that started to wear out after a couple of months and some asphalt.

One of the best-known genera is Smilodon, the species of which, especially S. fatalis, are popularly, but incorrectly, referred to as "saber-toothed tigers". However, usage of the word cat is in some cases a misnomer, as many species referred to as saber-toothed "cats" are not closely related to modern cats (Felidae). Instead, many members are classified into different families of Feliformia, such as Barbourofelidae and Nimravidae;[6] the oxyaenid "creodont" genera Machaeroides and Apataelurus; and two extinct lineages of metatherian mammals, the thylacosmilids of Sparassodonta, and deltatheroideans, which are more closely related to marsupials. In this regard, saber-toothed cats can be viewed as examples of convergent evolution.[7] This convergence is remarkable due not only to the development of elongated canines, but also a suite of other characteristics, such as a wide gape and bulky forelimbs, which is so consistent that it has been termed the "saber-tooth suite."[8] Of the feliform lineages, the family Nimravidae is the oldest, entering the landscape around 42 mya and becoming extinct by 7.2 mya. Barbourofelidae entered around 16.9 mya and were extinct by 9 mya. These two would have shared some habitats.

Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Malin Space Science Systems Published: May 30, 2018 Martian weather between May 14, 2018 and May 20, 2018: The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquires a global view of the red planet and its weather patterns every day. Between May 14 and May 20, 2018 on Mars, weather patterns were fairly typical for this time of martian year. A large dust storm was observed over Cimmeria and Sirenum at the beginning of the week. In the following sols, the dust lifting quickly abated but a residual dust haze was observed spreading eastward over Aonia. Looking to the northern plains, a number of dust storm and water-ice clouds were spotted propagating east from Arcadia to Utopia. Dust lifting along the equatorial latitudes was rather uneventful apart from a tiny spiral storm near the caldera of Pavonis Mons at the start of the week. For most afternoons, condensate water-ice clouds continued to linger over Tempe landforms, Tharsis Montes slopes, and plateaus near Valles Marineris. Both rovers, Opportunity in Endeavour Crater and Curiosity in Gale Crater explored under storm-free conditions throughout the week.

Pellucidar is a fictional Hollow Earth invented by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs for a series of action adventure stories.[1] In a crossover event between Burroughs's series, there is a Tarzan story in which he travels into Pellucidar. The stories initially involve the adventures of mining heir David Innes and his inventor friend Abner Perry after they use an "iron mole" to burrow 500 miles into the Earth's crust. Later protagonists include indigenous caveman Tanar and additional visitors from the surface world, notably Tarzan, Jason Gridley, and Frederich Wilhelm Eric von Mendeldorf und von Horst. I could literally pass the time reading this at one time, lots of fantasy.

Right now I'm having work done on my car, an oil leak is next and I bought 2 FelPro rubber gaskets today, one for the valve cover and one for the oil pan. I've replaced 2 front tires, 2 rear struts, next the oil leak, buy a pair of new shoes for me at zappos, install 2 engine mounts as the other 2 were replaced about a year back at a shop that is out of business now, install an adjustable steering column, install 2 Moog front struts plus do an alignment, Ford will do the work, and Allstar Glass will replace the cracked windshield. I also have to buy 10 gallons of exterior paint and primer(Bright Star RGB=221:226:228) in February so the park can paint the outside of my home from the HomeDepot, the HD will deliver.

NASA’s X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) [snip] “In 2024, NASA will fly the X-59 over select communities to measure public perception of the sound,” the agency said. “The data from these tests will be given to U.S. and international regulators, potentially opening the future to commercial supersonic flight over land.” As previously reported by AVweb, NASA officially cleared the X-59 QueSST aircraft for final assembly in December 2019. Construction and systems integration are expected to be completed next year with the aircraft’s first flight scheduled for 2022. The X-59 was designed to test “technology that reduces the loudness of a sonic boom to that of a gentle thump.”

I found watching the show was interesting as one would learn something new. George Alexander Trebek[2] OC (/tr??b?k/; July 22, 1940 — November 8, 2020) was a Canadian-American television personality, game show host and actor. He has been the host of the syndicated game show Jeopardy! since its revival in 1984, and has also hosted a number of other game shows, including The Wizard of Odds, Double Dare, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, and To Tell the Truth. Trebek was contracted to host Jeopardy! until 2022.[3] Trebek has also made appearances in numerous television series, in which he usually played himself. A native of Canada, he became a naturalized United States citizen in 1998.[4] For his work on Jeopardy!, Trebek has received 31 nominations for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host, winning 7 times. Now Jeopardy will need a new host as the show must go on.

2223) Message boards : Cafe SETI : TLPTPHW #298 (Message 2060897) Posted 8 Nov 2020 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I received My "new" reconditioned phone in and except for one time and a few resets to factory default settings, the phone only activated once after that it was activation incomplete. The new phone has a Sprint sim card in the phone and My old phone has a sim card that is known to work with Assurance Wireless, one lady said My phone is incompatible with AW even though the new phone was bought from Shop AW. One AW tech asked about the sim card, I should have not taken the card out as I have the card the sim was punched out of, duh, sure I was able to get the card back in the phone, but by then AW was closed since it's now Saturday evening here. I'm without all but emergency phone access and hopefully I can get this fixed on Monday since My Doctor is going to call Me on Monday @ 3:15pm PST. So I can't receive calls or make them. Otherwise My new phone works.

The neighbors moved out to a larger place and someone who works here in the park mentioned the phrase "they live like pigs" to Me, even if they are quiet... It's too bad that the 4 tires that were discarded were 65's and not 60's as they were 185/65x15 tires and My wheel wells like 185/60x15's since I could use 2 new tires soon...

I was in a Howling amount of pain in two locations, My bladder and My lower back, they applied some warm towels for My back an gave Me a morphine drip after taking blood and urine samples, they found some blood in the urine. I had a stand up CT scan as the table is rated for 450lbs and they did an ultrasound of My abdomen. I'm better now. Mostly I sat in a wide wheelchair as the bed and My back don't like each other. Blood was taken from the left arm and morphine was given to the right arm. I'm calling My new Doctor on Friday to try to get an appointment for Monday or Tuesday, the ER said I need to see a urologist. A friend of Mine is delighted that I have a new Doctor and in the same office as My friend. And I may have lost a little weight as My right thigh is finally slipping under the steering wheel.

Probably no better, the US Navy said larger than 16" was a fools errand, which is why only the two 18's were made, Japan did make two 20", but they were never completed or fired and Japan was near their industrial limit as mentioned here. The construction of the Yamatos challenged the capacity of the Japanese steel and shipbuilding industries, and the A-150s would have strained them even more. For example, producing the armor plate necessary to protect a battleship against twenty-inch guns was simply beyond Japan’s industrial capacity, and would have required serious compromises.

One has a doomed DC Fast charge system w/a heatpump and the other has a DC Fast charge system that is becoming the defacto US standard and a resistance heater to keep one warm which will decrease the range at a much greater rate then a heatpump. Eliminated: 2013-2016 Chevy Spark EV(82 mile epa): No stock backup camera and a smaller trunk than I have now in a 4 Door hatchback, reportedly can recharge in 10mins on DC w/a Combo port. 2017-2019 Chevy Bolt EV(239 mile epa): DC Fast charging is optional and one can't tell if it's installed or not online, so far. Fiat 500e: No DC Fast charging since Fiat did not want to make the door for fuel/energy bigger to house a combo port, the charger is otherwise able to do DC from what I read. 2011-2016 Ford Focus Electric(76 mile epa): slightly smaller trunk than I have now in a 4 Door hatchback w/no DC Fast charging, just AC charging, expensive to upgrade. 2011-2015 Nissan Leaf SL(75-84 mile epa): May need a battery upgrade to the Lizard battery, the Leaf battery is air cooled and the Lizard can handle desert temps in the US.

When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's. 7.

This false-color composite of the Sun was created using ultraviolet images taken by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite. Through decades of research, scientists have learned that large, powerful earthquakes commonly occur in groups, not in random patterns. But exactly why has so far remained a mystery. Now, new research, published July 13 in Scientific Reviews, asserts the first strong â€” though still disputed â€” evidence that powerful eruptions on the Sun can trigger mass earthquake events on Earth.

Just another thing Putin is stealing. ;-) coworker just tested positive Yeah. ;) Sorry to hear that. On a lighter or more like a sunken note, New Zealand and New Caledonia and at least one rock named Ball's Pyramid are all part of the 8th Continent of Zelandia... New Caledonia lies at the northern end of the ancient continent, while New Zealand rises at the plate boundary that bisects it. These land masses are two outposts of the Antarctic Flora, including Araucarias and Podocarps. At Curio Bay, logs of a fossilized forest closely related to modern Kauri and Norfolk pine can be seen that grew on Zealandia about 180 million years ago during the Jurassic period, before it split from Gondwana.[19] These were buried by volcanic mud flows and gradually replaced by silica to produce the fossils now exposed by the sea. During glacial periods, more of Zealandia becomes a terrestrial rather than a marine environment. Zealandia was originally thought to have no native land mammal fauna, but the discovery in 2006 of a fossil mammal jaw from the Miocene in the Otago region shows otherwise.

There is no public transit here on this side of the freeway, the closest bus stop is 2 miles away... I'm lucky if I can stagger to My car as My legs feel like I'm walking thru wet sand. I'm having trouble taking care of Myself like I was the last time IHSS was out here and then they said I'm not old enough unless I'm in danger of being put in a home which is generally living under a bridge... I had a few good screams as I tried to do what I had to do in a very hot bathroom and I hope a few horrible people who live in the park heard Me scream... Next empty the clothes dryer and wash a load of bath towels, some new, some not so new, and some that should be rags... Towels are expensive.

Life-like reconstruction of Adalatherium hui from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar. In evolutionary terms, islands are the stuff of weirdness. It is on islands where animals evolve in isolation, often for millions of years, with different food sources, competitors, predators, and parasites...indeed, different everything compared to mainland species. As a result, they develop into different shapes and sizes and evolve into new species that, given enough time, spawn yet more new species. Such is the case with the discovery of a new, bizarre 66-million-old mammal in Madagascar by a team of international researchers led by Dr. David Krause, senior curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and professor emeritus at Stony Brook University, where part of the research was done. The discovery of this opossum-sized mammal that lived among dinosaurs and massive crocodiles on the fourth largest island on Earth was announced today in the journal Nature. Dr. James B. Rossie of Stony Brook University is one of the study's co-authors. The late Yaoming Hu of Stony Brook University was also a co-author. The finding of the new mammal, called Adalatherium, which is translated from the Malagasy and Greek languages and means "crazy beast," is based on a nearly complete skeleton that is astoundingly well preserved.

A water well and septic system would have to be installed, plus a concrete foundation where the county mentioned 24" deep which is more substantial than the one that I have now, plus a car port and concrete for any steps, walkways and a driveway, fencing already surrounds the property though an inner fence and gates would not hurt. Electrical and cable would have to be on poles or in a trench, plus a 200Amp stub and panel upgrade would be needed, poles I've been told can be $15,000 each, though I'd hope that the poles aren't that much.

Last night the gas furnace went out with a noise I'd never heard before, a grinding noise,there has been no heat since then except for this PC. So tonight I'm hooking up the portable electric heater for night time, it's 69F @ the thermostat and 70F at the PC, outside is 42F, winter isn't over, daytime can be 20-30F warmer than at night. I've been coughing on and off all night since I have asthma. Maybe the park whom I already owe $20 to the park furnace guy can do something. I still need gasoline to pickup a prescription to work on an infection in My left shin, if a recycling center is open and I'm not sure they are considered essential or not under the current circumstances, I could turn in 3 bags of 2L bottles.

I had 1 gram of vancomycin infused into My body at the ER in Barstow over about one hours time, by the time I was released it was too late to go to the Walmart Pharmacy to get a prescription for Bactrim which I'm now taking from the ER prescription. The renewed prescription from the Doctors office has yet to be filled or picked up since I don't think I have enough fuel to get there and back. My leg is at long last looking like the leg it should be, instead of having a dark red and Doctor ignored mass on the back of My shin, My Doctor ignored it based on a blood test, the ER did the same test and said I was clear, but that My leg was infected. Why don't I buy and keep the tank filled to the full mark? Gasoline deteriorates and I don't want My cars fuel system all gummed up. In a few days I'm hoping to buy some more gasoline and then drive to and from town to get that renewed prescription filled. So until then I'm staying home. Covid-19 is up to 38 cases in this county and there has been 1 death too.

So it's a washrag and soap to stretch out what TP that I do have. In Victorville CA people were lined up outside one super market, I said no way am I standing in another line, the line at the SSA was short by comparison, much shorter. And it was crowded inside, crazy.

Since the last I posted I've had two paper jams and found the printer is as far to the right on My desk as the power cord will allow. I need to find a Belkin power strip that I own and swap it for the one under My TV so I can get a small extension that I made about 30yrs ago and plug the six-nine inch extension on to the printers power cable. 9 down and 21 to go. I'm printing one at a time due to the paper jams the tractor feed was getting hit with. I just hope the weather does not snow in Victorville on Monday, rain and splashes should be no problem since I had some work on the car done a month or back. Snow is predicted for the mountains, so that could mean rain in Victorville, maybe or maybe not. And then there is Covid-19, the perfect storm, so far I'm not sick, out of breathe or coughing sometimes from asthma, or gasping cause of that hiatal hernia the Doc wants to fix, plus a tummy tuck and doing a stomach bypass of some sort which is all on hold for the moment.

It'll be about 1/2 inch thick when done, yeah I'm printing the bank statements all over again. I'm hoping to not take any chances, as the SSA in Victorville opens at 9:00am, so that means I need to leave at 8:00am on Monday. I'm not going to call the phone number as it's a pain in the ass getting to talk to anyone, so that means I get to take My walker along. If I need to stand in line, I at least will be able to get some support from the walker, though it has no place to sit at, it was free, so no complaints.

But then I have a wash cloth & soap and hot water which cuts TP use significantly. Though what I do need soon is Bleach and Oxi Clean laundry detergent for My clothes and I can afford this, but not much more at the moment, but both together are $14.04 in town while supplies last.

I've collected as much extra evidence as I can, the unsecured loan docs, the only image of a heap check from the state of California to Me in My name since I live in a manufactured home in a mobile home park. If I didn't live in a mobile home park a heap credit would be issued to the power company. This heap thing might be the source of the problem, since I doubt the person at the SSA doing My claim has ever lived in a mobile home park. I was told by a real estate agent once that one can't get a secured loan in a park, unsecured yes, but that is all. Mobile homes stopped being made by law in June 1976, Manufactured homes started being made in June 1976 and are eligible for FHA financing and have to adhere to the HUD Building Code. Mobile Homes only have to adhere to State Building Codes and are not FHA Eligible at all. I'm going to try and call, but most likely I'll have to simply drive to Victorville early in the morning just so I can show My evidence and talk to someone @ the SSA in Victorville and not be shined off.

This used to much easier when there used to be an SSA office in nearby Barstow CA, which is about 13 miles away from My location. I'd have to stand in line, not easy when one is about 450lbs and 6'1" tall. I'll try to call 877-405-1435 early on Monday, if I can't get anywhere on the phone It's a drive, but the car gets about 37mpg and I do have about 6 gallons of gasoline in the tank. Yeah it does suck and I only got the letter today, I was checking the mail all week for something else and I saw nothing, that and to clean out My PO Box of junk mail, the local Post Office provides trash cans to dispose of the junk mail.

Forget anything not in metal or plastic or glass, the pantry moths are out here and will get through paper containers. Once the freezer and refrig is full then supplies would have to be stored in the cabinets. In the case of TP, I have about a months worth in the main bathroom under the sink and there is not a lot of room there. And yes I normally buy that much since I don't want to drive 13 miles to get more. My cat Grace has her "sand" in the 2nd bathroom under the sink there and that cabinet is smaller than the main bathroom's cabinet.

I have not found the right spot in my apartment to get a descent aerial signal. Living on the ground floor is crud for a signal when you need height. +1 I have an amplified UHF aerial in My home with a view of elephant mountain where a Satellite to UHF TV translator w/10 channels exists, technically there are 12 channels, but the last two are not able to be used due to forces beyond the counties control. The cable modem and router are mine as are the ethernet cables and all should be Cat6 or 6A and I just replaced a shorter cable w/a longer one today. For anything not on those 10 "local" channels, everything else is streamed in 1080P or 4K to My refurbished 4K TCL Roku TV thru the 200/10 internet connection that I pay for which is the slowest I can get here and still stream. Currently I'm watching the news on KABC 7 out of Los Angeles, earlier it was Total War part 1 of 6 on the Roku channel.

Though this is close and shows the area looks like a rural area of today, even though it wasn't then. In this pic grandpa is holding My dad's hand in 1923. Yes gasoline was sold at the curb back in 1923. My grandma Grace is on the left, grandpa Earl is on the far right and He owned the building, He was also Culver City's 2nd Police Chief.

I found all the parts other than on amazon needed to convert from a pilot light system that is a 33yr old design to a more recent electronic ignition design that was last made in 2014, with the limit switch that I need, the cost of parts would be $251.67 currently. The parts are a bracket, a gas valve, and a burner assembly with a new igniter, the only thing not in the $251.67 is the control board which can be sourced from Amazon, on Amazon the total that the board cost would be $199.63, with all the other parts $451.30. Labor is another matter, but then I do have an HVAC contractor in My phone book who could do the work on updating My gas furnace, which would save Me money on the natural gas and electric bills when not in use, which has been as high as $85.79 last month. The small portable digital electric heater and this PC are so far keeping the temp in here to where I don't cough My head off and My cat is also happy too.

It's a DGAT, though what the rest after DGAT is I don't know as the Furnace does not say anywhere, since that is what mine looks like. Coleman is now owned by York. And I found an Upper Limit Switch, manual reset 180 Degree for My Coleman system.

I'd have to see what I can do when I know how much I need for this location since the climate here is one of extremes, either too hot or too cold. 75F daytime can be 40F at night. rear - bath/bedroom/hallway/kitchen/living room/bath/bedroom - front I'm having work done to pull a cooler, patch the wall where that came from, install a temporary 6000btu a/c unit in a window, install some eaves on the side of my home which this place lacks and for the moment that is it. In the future if I can get a big enough loan for some land @ 5.14acres hopefully what's below will be done before then, but I'll see. I do have a small unsecured loan now, an unsecured loan or credit cards or cash only is from what a real estate agent told me is about all I can hope for in a park. Small projects(eaves, window a/c, door knobs, exterior paint, snow coat roof, 1 shelving unit, replace old outlets, add two 20Amp 120v circuits, electric flat top range, one 40Amp 240v circuit, 2 interior doors, kitchen faucet) 2-windows Sub floor reconstruction(rear bath to kitchen) heatpump 4 ton 2 limited bathroom makeovers(ignore the tubs)

At the moment My gas furnace needs another limit switch, the upper limit switch is out, so no heat outside of what the pilot light provides, a 10-30yr old part, it'll get replaced asap. A heatpump w/a backup heat source is something I want to get to heat this place in the future.

2953) Message boards : Cafe SETI : 1 of the last of Hollywood's "Golden Age" actors, Kirk Douglas has passed away. (Message 2030960) Posted 6 Feb 2020 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The son of Russian Immigrants, Kirk Douglas RIP. Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch (Yiddish: ××™×¡×¨ ×“× ×™××œ×Ö¸×•×•×™×˜×©â€Ž; Belarusian: Ð†ÑÑƒÑ€ Ð”Ð°Ð½Ñ–Ð»Ð°Ð²Ñ–Ñ‡) in Amsterdam, New York, the son of Bryna "Bertha" (nÃ©e Sanglel; 1884â€“1958) and Herschel "Harry" Danielovitch (c. 1884â€“1950; citations regarding his exact year of birth differ).[4][5][6] His parents were Jewish immigrants from Chavusy, Mogilev Region, in the Russian Empire (present-day Belarus),[7][8][9][10][11][12] and the family spoke Yiddish at home.[13][14][15] His father's brother, who immigrated earlier, used the surname Demsky, which Douglas's family adopted in the United States.[16]:2 Douglas grew up as Izzy Demsky and legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas before entering the United States Navy during World War II.[17][a] In his 1988 autobiography, The Ragman's Son, Douglas notes the hardships that he, along with six sisters and his parents, endured during their early years in Amsterdam, New York: My father, who had been a horse trader in Russia, got himself a horse and a small wagon, and became a ragman, buying old rags, pieces of metal, and junk for pennies, nickels, and dimes.... Even on Eagle Street, in the poorest section of town, where all the families were struggling, the ragman was on the lowest rung on the ladder. And I was the ragman's son.[4] Growing up, Douglas sold snacks to mill workers to earn enough to buy milk and bread to help his family. Later, he delivered newspapers and during his youth he had more than forty jobs before becoming an actor.[18] He found living in a family with six sisters to be stifling: "I was dying to get out. In a sense, it lit a fire under me." In high school, after acting in plays, he then knew he wanted to become a professional actor.[19] Unable to afford the tuition, Douglas talked his way into the dean's office at St. Lawrence University and showed him a list of his high school honors. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1939. He received a loan which he paid back by working part-time as a gardener and a janitor. He was a standout on the wrestling team and wrestled one summer in a carnival to make money.[20] Douglas's acting talents were noticed at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, which gave him a special scholarship. One of his classmates was Betty Joan Perske (later known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in launching his film career.[21] Bacall wrote that she "had a wild crush on Kirk,"[22] and they dated casually. Another classmate, and a friend of Bacall's, was aspiring actress Diana Dill, who would later become Douglas's first wife. During their time together, Bacall learned Douglas had no money, and that he once spent the night in jail since he had no place to sleep. She once gave him her uncle's old coat to keep warm: "I thought he must be frozen in the winter . ... He was thrilled and grateful." Sometimes, just to see him, she would drag a friend or her mother to the restaurant where he worked as a busboy and waiter. He told her his dream was to someday bring his family to New York to see him on stage. During that period she fantasized about someday sharing her personal and stage lives with Douglas, but would later be disappointed: "Kirk did not really pursue me. He was friendly and sweetâ€”enjoyed my companyâ€”but I was clearly too young for him," the eight-years-younger Bacall later wrote.

Some think this star is as big as the orbit of Saturn, put that in your H-bomb. When it explodes one day in a Supernova, this will be the night sky for a bit. Since October it has been possible to see with the naked eye that Betelgeuse has radically decreased in brightness. Now it shines weaker than we humans have ever observed. The decrease in brightness can be a natural variation. But it could also be a sign that the star will soon explode and become a supernova. The last time that happened in our galaxy was 1604. Before that in 1054 Chinese astronomers recorded a star going Supernova, today it's known as the Crab Nebula. And yes it can be a natural variation, if it exploded already the light just hasn't arrived here yet.

An uncle that I'd never met(He died before I was born) was a Fire Chief for the Culver City CA FD cause at the time there were no buildings to house either the FD or PD vehicles in Culver City, My grandpa owned the shop where both were housed and maintained at and as a result was the Police Chief(we have His golden badge). The auto repair shop does not exist anymore, except in pictures, but was at Washington Blvd and Irving Place in Culver City CA and yes they even sold gasoline from a pump at the curb.

As of about an hour ago, the provisional plan is to go through normal maintenance and backup tomorrow (Tuesday), and then revert the database changes so we can go back to running the old server code. My gloss on that is that it probably means a longer outage, and an even worse than usual recovery, but everyone should be able to enjoy the rest of the holiday in peace. Most especially, the staff can relax. Sounds like a good idea to me. Cool. So I shouldn't need to do anything at all on my end then. I was content with just keeping things as they were on my end until the problem got found and fixed on the server side. Sounds good to Me too. I'm going back to watching some clouds. Later.

3058) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here! Part VII (Message 2022915) Posted 12 Dec 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I found an interesting thread, it's mainly about Belt Tensioners for the Ford Escort zx2 and is related to rain and OEM vs 3rd party junk, seems Ford makes or made good parts and 3rd party makes junk. Under hard acceleration the tension on the Serpentine Belt loosens and when it rains if one hits a puddle the Belt can come off and sometimes hit the oil sender which is a good way to lose an engine. I have My 2nd R&R unit and I had a cheap unit from Amazon both previous units didn't hold the belt on when it rained and this one is no better, only the OEM(Ford) unit ever kept the belt on. So until I can get a Ford made Belt Tensioner bought & installed I can't drive in the rain, it's just too risky. So far Xmas is looking dry with patchy clouds at Cajon Summit in Oak Hills. I also got most of the parts I need to convert My car from Manual windows to power windows, it's down to just the regulators and motors which are new and plentiful, why convert? My left elbow joint hurts when I try to raise or lower the drivers window.

I never made it to Thanksgiving, so instead I had a burger, fries, chocolate ice cream, apple pie via Uber Eats(Denny's in Victorville CA) and a serving of car trouble, the car trouble set Me back $300. It was a serpentine belt and a tensioner was the cause, Pep Boys fixed it up and charged My battery up, there was about 4" of snow on the cold ground in Victorville CA and the motel said the low was 20F, inside it was warmer, but only just cause it still felt COLD. Now I'm home and the car is fixed. The tow cost $105 and the room in the ice box cost almost $75. All this was due to the pass going closed so I had to turn around and the car needing some work, most is now new under the hood now. Grace is happy I'm home and this the only pic that I snapped, that's Mt Quartzite in the pic.

Shaena Montanari, a paleontologist and dinosaur expert, showed me and my friend Joe Hanson how to perform the dissection. You can follow along in a video Joe made for his YouTube channel, Itâ€™s Okay To Be Smart. We used a rotisserie chicken, but you find the exact same structures in the bones of your bird on Turkey Day. One example of a feature that birds and some dinosaurs share is the wishbone. Also known as the furcula, it is actually two collar bones that have fused together. Wishbones are found only in birds and one lineage of dinosaurs, called theropods. This is the same group of dinos that included T. rex and velociraptors. Montanari explained that the wishbone is one clue that modern birds are dinosaurs. To be clear, while all birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs were birds. There were many types of dinosaurs (just ask any kid at your Thanksgiving table), and modern birds are descendants of only one lineage. Itâ€™s like how all turkeys are birds, but not all birds are turkeys.

Some parks have been updating their infrastructure. Here the old 1966 infrastructure is obsolete according to the HCD and the HCD has been asking the park to upgrade since without the upgrade expansion can't happen now. And new or within 10yrs of the current year manufactured homes are 100Amps and this park has 60Amp Stubs and 60Amp Sub Meters and both have breakers in them. The new equipment being installed elsewhere can go up to 200amps on the Stub. I say "new or within 10yrs of the current year manufactured homes" since it would take an ok from the County Planning Dept to allow anything older in the area, I checked. Anything older than June 1976 is a mobile home or even a trailer, any home newer than June 1976 is a manufactured home and has to meet the preemptive HUD building code and is FHA compatible, anything before this is subject to state building codes and can not get an FHA loan.

On a side note, today I repaired a laminated kitchen countertop, the top had come unglued from the base and I used some Gorilla Adhesive Spray sprayed on the top of the bottom surface to be bonded with the top. I waited a minute after spraying like the directions said to do. Then I used 3 heavy weights and 2 vice grips(C clamps would also do, I just had the grips where I knew they'd be at) to hold the top down after the spraying at point blank range. Now the countertop was clamped and weighted for about 5 minutes and the countertop looks like new. I sprayed the adhesive a bit thick as the bottom part is Fiberboard. But now the counter feels and sounds solid. The 2nd pic is as close to a before pic as I can find. My kitchen countertop is now repaired w/Gorilla Adhesive Spray. Click on the pic for a much larger image. Look closely at the countertop, it was in need of repair. Click on the pic for a larger image.

Sure, if you have 6 single slot gpu cards, most are dual slot these days, with the right case and psu you might be able to use 4 dual slot gpu cards. I'm doing only 3 gpu cards cause of My choice of psu supports 30Amps per 12v rail and two 12v rails are shared with sata/pci-e and so three 12v rails for gpus can be used and the 4th for sata and molex and the 6pin or 4pin pci-e motherboard power connector, mix gpus with sata and molex and pci-e motherboard connector and ocp could be triggered as Enermax says. 3 gpu cards per case also allows better air floor for blower type cards. Yes an E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz cpu does exist, but is about as supported as My 1650 v2 is on My Evga X79 Dark motherboard. I checked the Bios support for the Asus RIVBE and the RIVE motherboards and both support the E5-1680 v2 cpu, among others.

An artist's rendering show's the first-ever portrait of a Denisovan woman, recreated from an ancient DNA sample. As recently as 15,000 years ago, humans shared their caves with another group of upright apes called the Denisovans. The two hominins were genetically distinct, splitting from their nearest common ancestor more than 500,000 years earlier, but they were physically close. Humans and Denisovans mated â€” probably a lot â€” over a range that spanned from Siberia to Southeast Asia, leaving a scant genetic lineage that's still detectable in some human populations today.

One was I think was a Raid on the Death Star or something like that, all the typing resulted in a game where one could fly down the trench of the Death Star, if one did not make any mistakes, then one had to pour over each line of code and figure out what was left out or mistyped or the interpreted game would not run.

Check into getting a power inverter big enough to handle your chair charger. Nice. Just have to put gas in the car to keep the car battery charged. I'm a bit surprised no one has built a small wind generator for hurricane use. Seems there is an excess of wind with those storms. Just need to make it tough enough to not fly apart. Making it stay put would be the other issue. Unfortunately solar isn't useful, clouds. But after the storm passes for the few days while the power company puts the lines back it could be vital. I do mean portable panels so they aren't in the storm while it rages. Solar can make power even with clouds overhead in the daytime, solar photovoltaic panels operate in the same spectrum that humans see in and thanks to the atmosphere light scatters, it's why you can see in shadows here on Earth. What happens to solar panels on cloudy days? As with nighttime hours, the efficiency of solar panels decreases on cloudy days since less sunlight can pass through the clouds to reach your solar roofs; however, this does not mean that zero power is being produced â€“ just a lot less. Maximum sunlight is necessary in order to provide optimal performance. The same applies to areas/properties that have a lot of obstruction from things such as trees and other buildings. The good news is that solar panels work very well in the summer (during those much needed AC days) due to more sunlight availability at extended hours. https://synergypower.com/what-happens-to-solar-panels-at-night-and-on-cloudy-days/ Wind turbines have a maximum speed at which they shut down to preserve themselves and they have a minimum wind speed before they start up. The diagram below shows the power output of a turbine against steady wind speeds. The cut-in speed (typically between 6 and 9 mph) is when the blades start rotating and generating power. As wind speeds increase, more electricity is generated until it reaches a limit, known as the rated speed. This is the point that the turbine produces its maximum, or rated power. As the wind speed continues to increase, the power generated by the turbine remains constant until it eventually hits a cut-out speed (varies by turbine) and shuts down to prevent unnecessary strain on the rotor.

The research, published in Gondwana Research, details the findings of ancient volcanoes that were active between 180 million and 160 million years ago under the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. Now one of the country's largest oil and gas regions, it was once home to an area filled with hot ash and lava flying high into the air, surrounded by rivers that eventually evolved into lakes and coal-swamps. "While the majority of Earth's volcanic activity occurs at the boundaries of tectonic plates, or under the Earth's oceans, this ancient Jurassic world developed deep within the interior of the Australian continent," said the study's co-author, Simon Holford, in a statement.

The E5-1650 v2 cpu voltage is at 1.1vdc, what is the correct voltage for 3.7GHz on an EVGA X79 Dark? I've no idea, I could probably go down to 1.0v or even gasp 0.8v for all I know since the cpu can take from 0.65v to 1.30v according to ark. The 1650 v2 is not directly supported on the Dark, which is probably why 3.7GHz is all this combo can get to, but the E5-1660 v2 and E5-2687w v2 are. Nothing electronic was harmed in the spill.

My 1st priority after the tire is the cracked windshield, a pebble hit the windshield a few months back, then the $300 for the motor mounts for the install, the other mount would probably cost nothing beyond the part as I have 1 of the 2 mounts already, then the a/c, and then the steering wheel since I need to find a place that has a steering wheel puller plus it has an airbag. I also need to replace or fix something to get the overhead light working again, the led lamp and fuse seem to be ok since the led lamp came on 2 times before going dark, so it could be a wire break somewhere if a wire is broke, though in a 20yr old car a fuse would be the easiest fix if that was the needed repair. And Tach has a short in the wiring My mechanic said which is the why the tach either works or doesn't work.

I don't feel comfy driving there and back yet, not without a spare tire. Today I received a new tire for the car, problem is the tire is a 185/65R15 88H and not the 185/60R15 84T that I had ordered, I notified Amazon and the wrong tire is awaiting UPS, Amazon will send Me the correct tire size as I made a note of the problem to Amazon. Some asked Me why online? Limited budget and a 20yr old car with 15 inch rims. I was going to put the new tire on a rim in the trunk that has a flat tire on it, then put the spare back in the trunk below the carpet and put the flat tire minus the rim on the carpet in the trunk so I can dispose of the flat tire in the trash bin here since I'm already paying for use of the trash bin. The 185/65R15 88H tire might not fit My wheel well and I don't like substitutions like this which is what this looks like to Me. My car wheel wells were designed for 14 inch tires, My spare is a 195/50R15 82V and is the largest that will fit in the trunk under the carpet, the stock size for My model is a 185/60*R15 84H.

In an effort to help the Muncie Animal Care and Services Shelter, the Muncie Police Department asked violators to pay their parking tickets in cat food. The request came after a couple of officers toured the shelter and found that it was running short on supplies to care for over 350 cats and kittens. "If you have a $25 parking ticket, you can bring up to $25 worth of cat food or litter to the Clerk's Office, and you can get your parking ticket to go away with the exchange of the donation," Officer Jamie Brown said on a July 15 video shared by the police department on Facebook. [snip] Although the offer covered drivers with multiple parking tickets, it did not include handicap parking violations or any violation that would have to run through the court system or state, according to the Facebook post.

It's a UMX U683CL phone. It likes to use power so I keep a charging cable nearby 24/7 as I like to use it for an mp3 player in My car, now if only the Y cable for 12v power that powers up My bluetooth to FM adapter would stop ejecting itself or the adapter like a cigarette lighter would... The phones speaker doesn't sound like the best since on some calls it's hard to tell what the other caller says, but that could be the lack of a really good cell phone tower nearby(the Sprint network carries Assurance Wireless which is aimed more at the nearby fwy than here), the nearest tower is up on a tall mountain behind the park up in the Calico Mountains, those closer to the mountains probably live in a cell zone shadow. In other locations everything sounds better. I can even use the flash as a flashlight or torch without an app. And typing is easier than on My previous and now cracked phone, the UMX is a replacement, the cost was $5.00 total, I finally have a cover for the phone, though I may have to adapt an existing screen protector for it since there are none made for the phone yet.

When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's. 7.

The Facts According to information obtained by The Drive, in 2018, 228 people were cited for going over 120-miles per hour. 89 people were cited for going over 130-miles per hour, and 27 people got caught doing 140-miles per hour. Imagine all those who were not caught . Thankfully I don't have a plate that says: CMIUC Cause I know better, as helicopters are faster and they can go a lot of places, 125mph while riding a 1984 Suzuki GS1150ES on a fwy at dawn and 135mph in a 2006 Mustang GT, once each, the Mustang could have gone faster, but I was running out of road so I used the brakes, no cops saw Me either time. I later found out that 125mph is the top end of the Suzuki in stock form. My older niece had a bit of lead foot and the car to match, even in a 2006 Mustang GT w/300hp I could not catch Her BMW on the fwy on the way to Her dads & My brothers funeral, since then neither of us has gotten a ticket and We don't do that very much, gasoline is not cheap here. Today I just play the music and set the cruise control since I have an excellent stereo system in the car. High school drivers ed was full so I skipped it, dad found out so to make up for a lack of real child support when I was younger and to get back in touch with Me(Note: He was not a deadbeat dad), He paid for professional driver training, He used to be a circulation manager for a national newspaper chain, later I found out He was a US Army Medic in Europe in WWII and He trained at Fort Carson CO, today I think that is the home of the 10th Mountain Division, a local friend here says they are legendary.

That's the problem with allowing idiots to obtain driving licences. Too stupid to drive a normal car responsibly, they're still going to be too stupid to drive one that has driver assistance that still requires a driver. For a long time now I've advocated for an attitude/aptitude test before people can even go for their first driving theory test. Someone that thinks public roads are the place to demonstrate their awesome driving skills, and it's up to everyone else to watchout for them, should never be allowed to drive on a public road no matter how wonderful their actual ability to drive is. Over the last few years the number of people around here that think speed limits, traffic signs & lights and general road rules just don't apply to them is becoming down right scary. Agreed. There is a partial solution to this, a 2 speed automatic transmission for EV's has been developed, now car makers need to adopt the 2 speed. Otherwise it requires a light tough, just like with a liter plus bike or a muscle car and I've owned and driven both.

And if it wasn't for Government spending on the Apollo computers and on Apranet We wouldn't be posting online, since there would be no online at all. Chips â€“ integrated circuits â€“ are at the heart of all our modern technology, from toys to appliances. They make your computer compute. They make your smartphone smart. They run cooler and pack more power into a smaller space than any of their predecessors. Transistors and vacuum tubes are stone knives and bearskins by comparison. Yet the chip revolution is just a little more than 50 years old, pushed into high gear by the work done on the U.S. space program and a decision made by Raytheon and its MIT partners when they were designing the computer that brought astronauts to the moon. â€œApolloâ€™s computer was the first to apply integrated circuits in the technological revolution that led to desktop computers and modern electronic gadgets,â€ wrote Jayne Partridge Hanley, formerly of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory staff, in the foreword of the book â€œJourney to the Moonâ€ by Eldon Hall, MIT's leader of hardware design for the Apollo computer. Designing the future The choice to use integrated circuits wasnâ€™t without risk. The emerging technology was unproven in comparison to the transistors that ran computers of the time. â€œMicroelectronics was absolutely at the infantile level. There were, as far as I knew, only two companies that were making integrated circuits of any kind,â€ said former Raytheon engineer and MIT fellow Herb Thaler, the Apollo computer's logic circuit designer. Thaler based his integrated circuits on the architecture for a transistor-based computer that had originally been designed for an unmanned mission to photograph Mars. Because of the importance of the project â€” and President John F. Kennedyâ€™s challenge to put a man on the moon within the decade â€” research and work on the technology was pushed to the limit.

MY PC is one I built, I even applied new bios updates as they became available. The Hex or 6 core cpu is now running at 3.9GHz, stock speed is 3.5GHz, idle cpu temp is about 35C and the cpu temp while crunching is about 60C, cpu is an acronym for central processing unit, if you knew that already, please forgive Me. My G.Skill 2134MHz memory is now running at stock speed, instead of 1866MHz. Of course right now I can do little beyond maybe adding a 3rd video card and a 3rd pci-e power cable for the 3rd video card thanks to a bone fragment in My left elbow joint. If the 3rd card was an Asus 970 Turbo I would not have to add a 3rd pci-e power cable to the power supply. Hyper-threading or HT for short means I can run more wu's at one time than if HT was disabled in the Bios instead of enabled.

And this PC is not at its final cpu upgrade yet... An Octa core E5-1680 v2 overclocked to 3.7-3.9GHz... Don't get your expectations up too high. I have already ordered an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x and associated accoutrements. Plus addition 2070. GPU expected Monday, the CPU is on back order. Oh I just went gold. Guess the magic number is about 2400 now. 16 pci-e lanes vs 40, possible cpu 12 core E5-2697 v2, yes My 3 X79 motherboards support these E5's, the dark especially which has all the latest bios upgrades from 2018 that EVGA made, and I do know how to get the most out of them, the bclock, fast cas setting on the mem which requires mem that is already tight, like Cas9 which ddr3 supports. I might be able to wring 8 out of some 2133MHz G.Skill ddr3 mem that I'm watching without reducing the speed, maybe, 1866MHz with a lower cas of 8 would be no loss, and of course the limited multiplier support which is not totally locked, not to mention hyper-threading to 24 from 12. And yes I'd be running close to or at 20 cpu wu's at a time while doing 6 gpu wu's and the motherboard can handle four 8x pci-e lanes and 4 video cards, like the 1660Ti, I do not plan on using two 2070's like the ones you're using vs My two 970's, 1660Ti's at most, I plan on making one to four Asus Phoenix's into blower cards and I have just the purrfect donor in mind for the parts needed for that task since I can't find any 1660Ti in a blower card, 1660's? Sure, but that's no fun, at least for this PC. My current mem is G.Skill 2133MHz ddr3 @ 10-12-12-31 and is manually set at 1866MHz and 9-11-11-30 with the cpu at 3.7GHz and 4.0GHz is possible for really "SOGgy" performance, 2133MHz is overclocking the memory controller on an x79 and the board supports 2400MHz as do the other X79's that I have here as I checked this out this morning to make sure, the bioses of all 3 support any E5-26xx v2 cpu, though I doubt any available 2400MHz ddr3 mem goes down as low as 2133MHz does in ddr3 in regards to the timing levels. The settings I'm using now has been running non stop for at least 1 day and 20 hours. Min ddr4 cas at 2133MHz is 15 from what I've read, ddr3 can go lower and I'm at 9, 8 is possible, I'd still rather get a 1680 v2 since it is unlocked and I can use the bclock with the 1680 too, plus I'm water cooled here in a tall tower and I use a Seasonic snow silent 1050w platinum psu.

Ok after getting some blood drawn and giving a urine sample, plus xrays and a CT scan, I now have a prescription for Lasix, one pill a day in the morning to reduce the water in My body for 30 days. My left elbow joint has according to a CT scan a bone fragment there, it's very painful, in a few days I'll be going to the Doc and see about trying to get a referral to an orthopedist and see about removing it, as I need My left arm, even 8hr tylenol doesn't stop that pain, oh and the cause of the swelling besides the late infection? Naproxen, yeah it's good at suppressing pain, but it can cause swelling and and suppress My immune system, so I've stopped taking that. How did I get a bone fragment? I have no idea. My temp was normal since I had not taken any 8hr tylenol since Thursday morning. It's a good thing there are 2 bathrooms here and that I'm about 30' from either one, the Lasix pills do work, OMG do they ever work.

And also you had to adjust your antenna settings to get any pictures at all.https://youtu.be/sqrdHKN9I-o?t=449 We had a roof mounted tv antenna, that pulled in all the VHF and UHF TV signals in our part of Los Angeles County in California, somewhere near 10-15 stations in all. I currently receive TV via a satellite TV translator that transmits Dish Network TV signals via digital UHF from 3 miles away, cause My antenna a Squareshooter is mounted inside I get a 480p signal, which started as a 720p signal and what is not on there I stream over My 100/10 cable internet connection which is usually as high as 118/12, the UHF signal is paid for by county property taxes, the internet I pay $65.99 a month to Spectrum. The antenna connects to My TV via an RG6 quad shielded coax cable. Streaming I get 480p, 1080p and 4K TV, the TV is a ROKU equipped 4K HDR TV made by TCL, I also have an Xbox One X hooked up to the tv too. For all the modern electronics one can thank the US Government and NASA for starting us off down this path, as the Apollo Program needed something better, rugged and smaller than vacuum tube tech, the computer aboard the Apollo spacecraft had an Intel 4004 4bit streetlight cpu, about 10 years later I had an Atari 400 computer with a Rockwell 6502 1.79MHz 8bit cpu inside it.

Four days later, astronauts landed on the moon - in the world's most spectacular space expedition. On July 16, 1969, few households had their own TVs, yet more than 530 million people gathered at the live television programs to take part in the moon adventure. It was then the world's most viewed program and in Sweden they followed the expedition for several days from the studio in Stockholm and with correspondents at location in the US. The interest was enormous, even though the picture quality from NASA's broadcasts was not so good at first. It was like yesterday to Me, yeah We had a TV, a color tv made by Magnavox. National Geographic Magazine did an article about the Apollo Program, My mom did touch up for a company named Chem Aero, which after Nixon cancelled the program went bankrupt. Oh some of that touch up is on the Moon under one of the steps on each of the LEM's(Lunar Excursion Module) a plaque which is as fresh as the day the mighty Saturn V rocket was launched to Earth's moon thanks to a hard lunar vacuum. 4 Astronauts, 1 in orbit, 2 on the moon, and 1 in DC, this plaque is from Apollo 11.

I am limited by My 100Amp main breaker in My Home and at the Stub that is connected to My home and cause of the old cabling from the Stub to the breaker at the demarcation point which also has a 100Amp breaker for SCE and the Park, that cabling may be able to do 125Amps, but is so far limited to 100Amp service to each space and would need to be certified by a licensed electrician before going to 125Amp service. I'm looking the pricey Wattzilla Black Mamba 48Amp model($1099) which I could store in the trunk when not being used since it's just a 31 foot cable w/a 14-60 NEMA plug on one end and a lockable J1772 plug to attach to the car Or a Lockable ClipperCreek HCS-60, 240V, 48A, EV Charger($899 for the charger, the locking version is ordered directly from ClipperCreek, these are sturdy enough to be hit with a baseball bat multiple times and still work with no damage and are indoor or outdoor chargers), the outlet box will be weatherproof and yes lockable since I do not want My bill to go up beyond My usage, and SCE offers a discounted rate for those who charge their EV at home, though I'd have to see if it's lower than the Care and Medical rates I get now.

I remember a few things like being woken up in Dominguez CA 90810(part of the City of Carson today), one of the Van Norman reservoirs had a crack and had to be drained as it was on a fault line and was in danger of collapse the news said and is a park today, the 2nd was a bit later when My parents and I were going north on i5 on a planned trip, as We passed the ruined CA14/i5 interchange and there was this '63ish Chevy pickup under a collapsed section, except for the tailgate, the rest was under several feet of concrete overpass. Hopefully the people in the pickup got out before the pickup had the overpass collapse on it. The earthquake resistant foundation system the county wanted installed worked as designed here, well worth the $1500 it cost Me in late 2006, this is the 4th quake its been thru. Everyone here is ok here, though Ridgecrest got hit with what amounts to a Double Whammy and I'm about 69 miles from there as the crow flies from a search that I did just now.

3533) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here! Part VII (Message 1999282) Posted 23 Jun 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I've been reading the wiki about Planet 9, after seeing 3 PBS clips on the subject on KLCS's streaming channel that handles NOVA, which is now going to need a PBS Passport(donation) to watch Nova from season 46 onwards, plus a few episodes in Season 45 too. Planet 9 is thought to be a Super Earth out beyond Pluto, somewhere... Planet Nine is a hypothetical planet in the outer region of the Solar System.[1][2] Its gravitational effects could explain the unusual clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (eTNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth. These eTNOs tend to make their closest approaches to the Sun in one sector, and their orbits are similarly tilted. These improbable alignments suggest that an undiscovered planet may be shepherding the orbits of the most distant known Solar System objects.[1][4][5] This undiscovered super-Earth-sized planet would have a predicted mass of five to ten times that of the Earth, and an elongated orbit 400 to 800 times as far from the Sun as the Earth. Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown suggest that Planet Nine could be the core of a giant planet that was ejected from its original orbit by Jupiter during the genesis of the Solar System. Others propose that the planet was captured from another star,[6] was once a rogue planet, or that it formed on a distant orbit and was pulled into an eccentric orbit by a passing star.[1] As of the end of 2018, no observation of Planet Nine had been announced.[7][8] While sky surveys such as Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Pan-STARRS did not detect Planet Nine, they have not ruled out the existence of a Neptune-diameter object in the outer Solar System.[3][9] The ability of these past sky surveys to detect Planet Nine were dependent on its location and characteristics. Further surveys of the remaining regions are ongoing using NEOWISE and the 8-meter Subaru Telescope.[7][10] Unless Planet Nine is observed, its existence is purely conjectural. Several alternative theories have been proposed to explain the observed clustering of TNOs.

3539) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Catch 22 in action (Message 1999213) Posted 22 Jun 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I have been trying for over a year now to get help from the state department of Vocational Rehabilitation in finding a part time job that I can handle. Part of the process is providing aid in installing home improvements and equipment in a replacement vehicle that I will need for transportation to and from work. The State's rules require that said vehicle be no older than 2 years and have no more than 25,000 miles on the odometer. (I would be happy with an older vehicle as long as it is in good mechanical order.) Before the agency will initiate a job search on my behalf the home improvements need to be in place and the vehicle in my possession. Finally, a couple of weeks ago it appeared that the ball was finally rolling and I would have the job very soon. But alas, catch 22 popped up. Because the total cost of the project exceeds $50,000 the whole thing needs to be reviewed and approved at the state headquarters before proceeding. The law has been on the books for at least a couple of decades now and the cost of vehicles and the equipment needed for a disabled person (in a wheelchair) to get in and out and drive said vehicle has skyrocketed. The counsellor in the local office is unsure about the fate of my case now. Without the vehicle they won't help me obtain a job. Also, the law states that once a case has been initiated no more than 90 days can pass before placement, but as far as I can tell there is no penalty to the state for not beating the deadline. Thats government for you. It sounds like a call to your local elected state legislator would be in order to try and get the law updated, if you have not done that already, good luck.

That's the difference, training or the lack of access to training. With a rifle I had access and yes it is easier, I started when I was 12, stopped when I was 18, training helped Me shoot out to about 1200m(1320yds), though if it moved and was within a 600m(660yds) radius, I could nail it with 1 to 3 shots and I never missed, I also qualified for full auto, though at full We were instructed to keep the shots down to 3 in case of jamming, but then this was in regard to M16's, I've used .22 bolt action single shot(50yds), an M1a and the M16 and I don't own any today, maintaining one against rust is not something I'm interested in and yes I knew how to take one apart and maintain it and completely reassemble it with no parts missing, remembering where everything went was key, it helped that I was good at being a mimic, I even learned how to ride a horse that way, My parents didn't believe that, at 17 I went out with My 1 and only GF and rented 2 horses and proved it, I also taught Her how to mount, how to dismount, how to get the horse to stop(very important) and to get the horse to go. I watched my mom cooking, which is how I learned to cook before being 12yrs old, the merit badge came later and took less than 20 minutes to get, I even had to start a fire in the camp wood stove, piece of cake, wash dishes?

Of the 2 video cards, the Asus has some dust, while the Palit has not been used since I bought it until a few days ago, so I'm going to swap the two cards and take the cover off of the Asus 970 Turbo which just has a fan and a huge heatsink which I can clean by removing 3 screws to remove the white plastic cover while leaving the huge heatsink unmoved(which I saw in this youtube video on the Asus 970 Turbo) or use a special tool for My vacuum cleaner that can go into very tight spaces while the fan just needs a paint brush and a vacuum near the the fan. Right now I have a table top fan aimed at My PC and that is managing to keep both cards at about the same temp or at least within 1C of each other, though the Palit doesn't need that fan, but the Asus does as without that fan there is an 8C difference between the two. The Xeon E5-1650 v2 is at 3.6GHz while stock is at 3.5GHz but the 2.13 or 2.14 Bios on the auto setting overclocks the Xeon by 100MHz which is relatively cool at 46-55C under load, the cpu at idle is 32-34C on the Deepcool Captain 360ex cpu cooler.

So much for being Dead... The Ring of fire thread #2 is locked, so here it is. Volcano god not happy. /s Udina (left) is part of a volcano complex on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula... As a result, a team of researchers from Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt carried out a detailed investigation on the volcano. They installed four seismic stations and monitored the complex for two months, over May and June last year. Over this time, they recorded 559 events in the area around Udina. Further analysis suggested the activity was forming an "elliptical cluster" and that seismic events were taking place at a depth of at least three miles. "These seismic properties may indicate the presence of magma intrusions with a high content of melts and fluids, which may justify changing the current status of this volcano from 'extinct' to 'active,'" they wrote. Researchers also observed a cluster of seismic activity connecting the volcano to the Tolud zoneâ€”a region thought to store magma. "Based on the results of this study, we conclude that during 2018, the Tolud magma source appeared to have built another pathway to Bolshaya Udina."

Before booting I had to alter some settings in the Bios and save them by name, I had just enough sata connections(2) to match the 1 sata cable, pcie cables enough for 6 or so video cards and the motherboard, and 2 molex cables, but it runs.

My left shin is swollen(the left foot is swollen too) and has dry skin and has been this way since December, though the cut area on the left shin where the edema is at only started a month ago, the ER said My chest is ok(Heart, lungs and arteries), the blue capsules taste nasty and the edema seems to be dripping less at times now... I had an itch and I scratched it, an EMT twice asked Me if I was diabetic and would have asked a 3rd time when another EMT told Him I'd said No twice, I'm heavy so He thinks heavy people are all diabetic I guess, in the ER they asked once if I was diabetic, once again it's an assumption that if one is fat, one is diabetic. I have a hiatal hernia, even My Doctor wanted Me to have a lapband surgery which is a man made version of a Hiatal Hernia which most of the time I read can't be fixed, I asked for a tummy tuck which My medical plan(IEHP) supports, that went nowhere fast. The right shin is also swollen, but does not have dry skin and is not swollen as much as the left is whether on My shins or feet, at least not yet. I should be done with the capsules in Maybe 14 days or so. I had to replace a car battery for $109.66(this came off the shop repair bill) since someone swiped My good Walmart battery at the shop and left a defective Duralast that is not compatible with My car. I also replaced a 3G phone which has a cracked screen with a 4G phone, I transferred everything, settings, apps, music, undid the pesky and sometimes flaky swipe setting, copied the weatherunderground weather station locations and deleted 2 apps that duplicated functions in Android Go 8.1.0(Oreo), the new phone has a 5" screen vs a 4" screen and the new phone has a built in flash along with being 4G LTE and is capable of being a Hotspot, the phone is now set the way I want too, not bad for a $5 phone that was FCC approved only in Jan 2019. The day I went to replace the battery I had to have a friend jump start the car, the old battery was only good enough to power the clock, even Walmart had to jump start the car and I drove the car at least 5 mins, the old battery just would not accept a charge.

Good luck. Make your yard inhospitable to voles! Prevention is very important to keep vole numbers down. Voles like dense, heavy vegetative cover, weeds, and meadows because it provides them with protection from predators and provides nesting material. Cut back brush, mow, weed, and create a clean space. Remove woodpiles and hiding places for voles from near your garden, shrubs, and trees. Keep your lawn mowed and bushes trimmed up from the ground. Avoid putting dense mulch too close to trees and shrubs. Keep snow cleared from the base of trees and shrubs. Protect young trees by wrapping the lower trunk with a guard. Bird feeders are another attraction for voles and should either be removed or the ground kept very clean to keep vole numbers down.

At least I did not have to clean a toilet today(lots of cat hair from Grace walking around it), I did that over a week back over 2 days, nor vacuum much as the majority of the windows here keeps most of the dust down.

Still as it is at least 11 years away I have to wonder if I personally will ever see it run. Who knows. Still it's at least not the previous PRR S1 Class 6-4-4-6 which could only run on one stretch of the PRR, the S1 Class consisted of one locomotive with 84 inch drive wheels. Operating speed 120mph, claimed top speed of 133.4mph. The first PRR duplex was the single experimental S1 #6100 of 1939. It was powerful and managed to reach 100.97 miles per hour (162.50 km/h) on level track with 1350 tons passenger stock behind her. Its performance encouraged the PRR continued to develop duplex steam locomotives. The S1 was built unnecessarily large for her exhibition at the 1939 New York World's Fair until October 1940, therefore its turning radius prohibited it from operating over most of the PRR network. The 6-4-4-6 design reduced driving set traction to the point that it was especially prone to wheel slip[citation needed], thus only one Class S1 was built.

The original budget was $10 Million, thanks to the Tender that was reduced to $7 Million. Here's a link showing their progress to date: https://prrt1steamlocomotivetrust.org/ The goal is simple; to provide mainline steam excursion service, and to set the World Speed Record for a steam locomotive.

A replica #5550 is currently being constructed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_5550 It will use Coal as originally designed, PRR Class T1 4-4-4-4 Steam Locomotive #5550 being built with the aim of crushing the record for the fastest Steam Passenger Train in the world, which is currently being held by the Mallard in the UK at 125.88mph, the Class T1 is reported as being able to run at 140mph. Most of the PRR is within the Norfolk Southern railroad.

CSX do not have the same history of restoring or running steam. UP had 8 Big Boys to choose from when they decided to restore one. There are apparently only 2 Allegheny 2-6-6-6's left, one of which was damaged in a flood and was only "cosmetically" restored. Of course the overall factor is cost, UP was willing to spend the money, CSX apparently is not. Whilst I didn't expect to see a Big Boy steam again, I certainly do not expect to see an Allegheny 2-6-6-6 do the same, sad though that may be. Yes, but it would be magnificent.

If you don't like winds, don't go there. Right now LAX's ground radar is out once again, the two ground radar towers(Pic) have been in operation since the 1990's without replacement, this was on KABC in LA, the towers have to be climbed by an FAA repair guy cause the elevator has not been certified to carry a human in a few years. LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Eyewitness News has learned that a critical Los Angeles International Airport radar system that's meant to help prevent planes from colliding on the tarmac has failed on a routine basis over the last 18 months. The radar system is known as the ASDE-X and when it breaks down, the screen air traffic controllers use to help track aircraft and vehicles on the ground goes blank. A whistleblower air traffic controller at LAX tells Eyewitness News that the repeated failures of the ASDE-X system is "a disaster waiting to happen." "For days or weeks at a time we are left without a necessary piece of safety equipment," the controller says. "At LAX, the entire airport community is not visible from the tower and the ASDE-X is our eyes."

NASA said this is the first trembling that appears to have come from inside the planet, as opposed to being caused by forces above the surface, such as wind. The sound was detected by NASA's Insight Lander, a robot spacecraft that's now sitting on the Martian surface. The sound was detected on April 6, 2019.

France may have to import some wood for the large interior beams that France does not have anymore. I wonder if the fire codes in France would allow it to be rebuilt in all wood. I suspect a lot of wood faced fire rated structural steel. I am also sure that there will be a lot of structural engineering calculations on the stone as to wind loads and earthquake loads (even though France doesn't have many) just to be sure the rest of the building is likely to survive another 1000 years. The result will be a different but visually nearly identical building. One obvious difference being fire sprinklers. Perhaps another being the roof tiles as the original lead ones may now be considered too toxic, especially where they can leach into the Seine. The building was started in 1163 according to the wiki, so the building is 856 years old.

Question, is the broken unit FROM the "New" Engine, OR FROM your Original Engine??? I ask, because, (just like the Flywheel), what stops them from using the "good" unit from the "other" engine??? (Instead of buying another "New/Used" Part.) IF the "New" Engine DID NOT come with this part, AND they broke your Original Part - then I do understand the urgent need to replace it with the one on e-Bay. When I had the '89 Accord LX-i Engine rebuilt, I chose NOT to buy an Exchange Engine BUT instead had them just completely overhaul my Original Engine... So, for me, EVERYTHING NOT nailed down got taken off to do the major block work, and then all the miscellaneous parts were put back on to the rebuilt motor. They DID bore out the Cylinder Walls, bought me NEW Pistons, and put in Oversized Rings to make it all work right. This REDUCED Gas Mileage for me by 2MPG, (going from 25 to 23MPG), BUT INCREASED Horsepower to 133. New Belts and Hoses were also installed for Warranty Purposes, along with a new Water Pump. Also FINALLY chose to have the defective under-powered factory alternator beefed up to over 120AMPS. (A $500 Cost, included in the Grand Total.) This FULL Rebuild COST $$$$, though! Like TWICE what an Exchange Engine would have been, at a Total of $6K out the door! (So, the Exchange Engine would have been $3K. BUT, I wouldn't have the Original Motor, NOR the Original History on the Vehicle... Hence I chose to pay $6K and keep the Original Engine. This also meant I DIDN'T have to File an amended Title with Change in Total Mileage, nor need to keep documentation of same.) I DID have to borrow that from a good friend and pay him over time until paid off. TOOK ME SEVERAL YEARS, but I did get him paid off. I sincerely hope that nothing else comes up to need fixing on your Exchange Engine. ALSO, IF "they" broke this reservoir, shouldn't "they" pay for the replacement??? TL It came with the car, only in the last few years did the reservoir start to leak. It was welded together, there aren't any after market reservoirs, so somebody fixed it before I bought the car. @ Betreger: I didn't name it, it's aluminum instead of plastic.

Eric said the great horned owl was pretty spectacular, especially when it flew away. We try to get our two indoor/outdoor cats in at night because we knew we had coyotes in the area. Now I'm doubly glad we get them inside because, according to our bird book, great horned owls eat mice, rats, porcupines, skunks, small raccoons, a wide variety of birds and occasionally cats and small dogs. I don't want Joker and Riddler to end up as owl pellets! Joker and Riddler need protection. Glad they're inside and safe from the fiendish birds of prey, Angela. The Owls can go find some rodents, much better for everyone, except the rodents of course, but they breed like crazy.

Should I go in and risk passing this cold or should I stay away and burn another sick day? Carlos, Here in the UK anyone who works with people at risk of suffering FLU (old, ill, young, enclosed, broad) has the right to free yearly FLU jabs. Otherwise time for: Mild tea with ginger, honey and cardamoms. As long as you feel able to work AND your company doesn't mind the rest of the workforce becoming ill I say go to work. The idea of a certain amount of sick days is foolish from a company's point of view if the illness is communicable. Call their bluff. Let them send you home and don't let them treat it as a sick day. The problem with wearing masks is that they do help stop the spread of some diseases but they also can be a harbour for some virilant types that you rebreath. Also unless you are wearing a gas mask with activated charcoal it is unlikely a simple white fibre mask will stop viruses. More likely they just filter and allow the strongest viruses to pass out and in?? If you are suffering flu then I suggest it is not so much an illness but a natural part of anybody's life. It happens. (Not that that concept really helps with certain company's) :( Ask your doctor for the flu jab. The US must have a free FLU vaccination scheme? Seniors and disabled people in the US get a free flu shot if they have Medicaid(Medi-Cal in CA) and/or Medicare, for those not covered by Medicaid and/or by Medicare would have private insurance which might pay for it. When I get a flu shot I go to the local pharmacy and get one there, Vons is the nearest with a pharmacy inside and they have an electric cart that I can drive around in, so I go there, but forget about shopping there for food as their prices are the highest in Barstow CA. Staters and Vons are both on Instacart which does work and does deliver, but $99 a year I can't do right now. My local Food4Less does not have a pharmacy, drat, though they do have a gasoline station w/a standing $0.10 off per gallon of fuel when one gets at least 100 reward points, this will lower the price of purchased gasoline or diesel from $3.459 to $3.359 a gallon, I can even find out the current prices at Food4Less.com, but not order there yet, the server has an error 403 problem when one wants to see or go to the cart to do checkout, so at best I at least can printout a list of what I am going to buy, complete with Boxes to check and the quantity desired and where the item(s) is(are) in the store.

Have you taken any cold/flu medication Carlos? This I've found helps some, that and blowing the nose, I'd keep a few spare masks around since they will get wet and need changing. It's that or stay home and don't spread it by coughing or contact with surfaces where the germs land. In any case get well soon and good luck.

A hit on the power train hard enough to bend the flywheel probably put a powerful force on the crankshaft. Damage to it or the main bearings could have happened. I hope that's not the case, you probably hope even more so. Yeah, I was told as much today when I called, so the old crankshaft and a new main seal will need to be installed, leaking was mentioned in conjunction with the main seal, the mechanic won't be back until Thursday, I guess He only works part time there. The shop owner said they are not going to do work like this again as it takes too long. So on Wednesday I get to go shopping for food, looks like I'll be getting a ride again.

By the way I don't dream of $10 million dollar yachts, I picked something at random. But my dreams are always things that are just out of reach. Not because I look for disappointment but because I want to push myself. I college I was able to hone my skills to become an alternate on the US Olympic Archery team. The interesting thing about shooting arrows over a long distance is that you do not aim at the target. You aim above it. I have always lived my life like that. I aim above what I want to achieve. From time to time I have surprised myself. But generally I seem to always get beyond what I thought was possible. However, I do understand irrational and delusional thinking. However some people escape the pain of daily life with drugs, alcohol or delusional dreams. From the perspective of how some people are forced to live due to health, education, or other outside factors, delusional dreaming is not a bad choice. Maybe that's why I only got close to the Yellow bulls eye zone, I was considered the best archer in My Boy Scout Troop and that was with no practice, just a few Erroll Flynn movies on Robin Hood to watch.

Cause there are other places to buy stuff from, unlike from 1945 to maybe 1955 or so when everyone else was rebuilding from World War II. Unlike a lot of the world, the US suffered no real damage on the North American Continent as a result of WWII. Sub raids did no real damage and any saboteurs were easily spotted and captured, We could act like them like in Patterns of Force in Star Trek, but they knew next to nothing about being in America the Melting Pot. The US and the UK bombed Germany back to the stone age and then helped start the rebuilding in Europe with the Marshall Plan which was offered to Eastern Europe and to Russia who refused the help.

Has it not occurred to you Vic, that the garage has already done a lot of work on your behalf simply on trust, without any payment. Perhaps they are waiting for the first installment of $100 towards the bill to show goodwill, before they do any more. One simple phone call would confirm the situation. I had made a substantial down payment as they asked Back in February 2019 with no hesitation and I signed a work order and they have the car keys, they don't work for free and I've always paid My bills and they have said so. Being curious I've made several calls, and found out thru sometimes bad cell phone connections, that there is a insistent female "customer" there, who has not signed a work order and has threatened the shop with going to the BAR to force the place to work on Her car that someone broke into and such, the shop is hoping to get this non paying person to either signup or go away and no this "customer" has no legal leg to stand on with the BAR, BAR is the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. I even went out and bought an Engine Mount for $19.38 total and yes it is the correct part I was told, so no further parts are needed, just a mechanic to finish up work on the car. Any further payments would be after the work is done under CA law and not in advance.

3849) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Transportation Safety 3 (Message 1986523) Posted 22 Mar 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Because, as installed, it only uses ONE sensor to do the detection, and the system is "too frisky" in its operation. The intended function is to counteract the normal increase in nose-up attitude of a 737 (and other aircraft with underwing pod engines) when the throttles are ramped up. With MCAS on the 737-max it way over-compensates, thinks the aircraft is entering a stall, fire-walls the engines, and jacks the leading edge of the tail-plain up as high as it will go and as fast as it can, effectively over-riding any pilot attempt to correct this using his control column controls, eventually the tail-plain is at such an attitude that there is no way for the pilot to correct this and the plane enters an increasing terminal dive at full power. In addition to only using one of the angle--of-attack sensors (bad enough) the training material for the 737-max does not describe this fault and thus does not describe how to get out of it. Unlike a "normal" MCAS fault which can push the nose GENTLY up or down, this is a full on command, and can only be counter-commanded by turning the system off, but the flight manual and in-flight checklists don't cover this fault. From what I've read the New FREE upgrade reads both sensors, if both sensors are not in agreement, then MCAS turns off and triggers a light denoting that MCAS is off and the pilots have total control. Boeing is in deep doo doo and someone may have to pay the piper, the CEO is reputed to be a friend of trump or at least a trump supporter and yes I've read this too.

The angle of attack indicator determines how much the plane's nose is tilted, and the disagree light is activated if the jet's sensors are giving contradictory signals. 3) If the plane can indicate that there is a problem with the inputs, why isn't/wasn't the automatic anti-stall system automatically disabled when such a condition occurs? The anti-stall system needs accurate airspeed & angle of attack data to actually determine if a stall condition is likely to occur. If it doesn't have this information, it can't make any judgment on the likelihood of a stall & so it shouldn't activate the anti-stall prevention actions under such conditions. Most likely Money.

So you want a deal on the widget and the price of the doohickey goes up. As to the wiring harness, because every airplane has a different seating arrangement from cramped to cargo they do have to be made in small batches. However the flight controls should be rather similar, but that doesn't mean the avionics (radios, weather radar) is the same. So again I suspect small batches. But if Boeing was a bit smart it would sell the indicator as a post delivery upgrade and have run the wires. Then again customers don't want extra weight on the air-frame as that is more fuel burned every flight. Hopefully there will be an Airworthiness Directive ordering the installation of the indicator and light to continue to operate the aircraft. United needs the upgrades on its Max's, Southwest already had them when they bought their Max's. This was on the TV news. I think the lawyers are sharpening their knives over this, something that should have been standard from the word GO.

Here's another list of the airlines who fly Max 8's in the USA, Aeromexico, Air Canada, and United Airlines according to CBS News. CBS News wrote: MCAS uses sensors to point the nose of the plane down if it detects it has pitched too high and could be at risk of stalling. By measuring the position of the plane's wings relative to airflow, the system's sensor indicate to pilots if the plane is at risk of stalling from going too slow or flying too steeply into a climb. It's a brand new system on 737 Max planes. However, problems can arise when the MCAS system automatically pushes the plane's nose down, potentially surprising pilots who are unfamiliar with the system and overriding their commands. According to The New York Times, Boeing and the FAA decided pilots did not need to be informed about the change to the flight control system. The Times reported Boeing and regulators decided against informing pilots at least in part to minimize the costs of retraining pilots.

Your home was bought from your Aunts legacy, you didn't pay for it. Not being allowed to vote is ridiculous, your financial situation has nothing to do with your legal eligibility to vote. It is true that with your level of income, owning and running a car is borderline as to whether you can really afford it, but you choose to make sure that you can. As to being online, you have to be to exist. Living of your own you have no other life than the online one that you have created for yourself. You would get a lot more support if you were more honest about your financial situation, made some attempt to reign in your spending, and didn't stomp off in the sunset every couple of years, only to return with a new name and start all over again. It was also your choice to purchase that mobile home ad move it to the trailer park where you are. No point in complaining it's too hot in summer or too cold in winter, that was down to you. I didn't say it was from here did I? Yeah and the SSA knows that, She also paid for the car. Reign in, well that's the thing, I have no problem with that except I don't like going hungry, I have about $74.xx to $76xx worth of food to buy in March, and I have to make a payment on the car, you are asking the impossible, as to paypal credit it's a revolving account like the old sears card was that helped My mom put clothes on Me when I was a teenager, paying down paypal credit is the last that will be paid down if ever since it's very useful and that's why I have it. 5 are only being used for food and only until June or August, that's what I can do. Actually getting the place here was as much as I could do, once it was here I had nothing left, I had to get a permit, I had to pay extra for an earthquake resistant foundation system, the foundation and permit combined were almost $2,000.00, I had to employ 3 different companies to get this place out of a closing park that was scheduled to be converted to condos, 1 to pack, 1 to move across a state line, 1 to unpack and do setup. I paid fees and such in NV and in CA. States in the USA are not countries. Honest? I do live on a fixed income from the SSA, beyond that I don't need to say more.

So the box could be perfectly legal, just not safe. If you ever changed your electrical service supply, then you have to meet the new code, so the box must be replaced. If you want a cheap solution. Get a semitransparent Tupperware container the covers 70% of the box. Cut the bottom end of container out so you can get your hand in to the breakers - and so it can 'breath' and not trap moisture. Then duct tape the sucker on. I doubt the box will ever be replaced, most parks are old and the electrician said it might be possible to go to 125 Amps on the main breaker, but then I'd also have to change to a 125Amp breaker on the sub meter and on the stub, plus I'd have to probably get a copper cable to go from the stub to the main breaker, the cable between the stub and the main breaker is a very legal and large aluminum cable, the problem is the buried cable from the sub meter to the stub is usually only big enough for 100Amps and not for 125Amps and forget about bigger Amp sizes. The buried infrastructure here is old and was not put in with the idea of being easy to upgrade, they just dug a trench or trenches and stuck everything underground, which is why when a water leak happens in the park they go and dig carefully and fix the leak, then cover it up again.

The SSA even says the income I and others get is not adequate, but can not do anything about it. SSA is Social Security Administration. USDA manages SNAP, USDA is the United States Department of Agriculture.

You view a payment in as extra credit to take straight out again. In that case you have only paid off $8.46 of what you owe in total, while interest payments still accrue on the balance. It is a very dear way to borrow money. That's My problem and not your concern or are you a concern troll? Then look further, there are bigger ones.

My solution will intercept the rain flowing off the roof regardless if it's a trickle from the West or a flood from the Easterly direction which never happened here and I've lived here in this park since 2004. For the moment I covered the top of the box with weather resistant pipe wrap tape, rain here historically comes from the West as does most of the wind. I could go out and get exact measurements, but it's dark out and could be raining as well, it can wait. A close up of My Eaton breaker box, each breaker is about 1 inch wide, regardless if they are dual or single.

Cause My home has Eaves only at either end of the home, not on the sides where My breaker box is at. This is a pic of the West side of My home, the East side has the Breaker Box, notice No Eaves, when the rain comes from the West the box is sheltered, when the rain comes from the East the Box is not sheltered. This pic is from a few months back when the park repaved the roads, the cheap coating is wearing off.

Don`t forget to have fun. The rules: 1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post.)

(Average of 40 random tasks from my list is 7 minutes) PS I wonder if there is a better command line for the 1660ti, I am still using the one for my 1060. Interesting, did you try the 1660 in the Linux box too? Sorry but the main reason I brought the 1660 was for gaming, and there Windows rules, the Linux box was an experiment which I may expand on later with a purpose built machine firstly for the 1060, but who knows ;-) And that 11-17 is while doing 2 at a time, with 1 at at time it's more like 5 minutes or so. Oh and Asus is I think going to make a Turbo 1660Ti, at least according to videocardz.net. So far the lowest new 2060 Turbo I could find from a legit source is for $389.99(w/7.25% sales tax if I bought the card from Newegg on ebay it would be $418.26 delivered) and yeah it's an RTX 2060 with 1920 cores, the 1660Ti is supposed to be about as fast as a 1070 from what I've read, the 2060?

I tried talking to tech support there for a week, found out other Ralphs stores are on Instacart, but F4L? Nope. F4L uses a proprietary cart that seems Buggy to Me. Tech support said I should upgrade to Windows 10 which is not going to happen, even if I could afford 10 I still don't really understand it. I tried instacart, I was able to order some products from Stater Bros Market in Barstow CA with no problems, Vons is also on Instacart, Food4Less is in Barstow CA too. If you have Windows 7 go with Instacart, it works, Food4Less.com? I'll pass. For Me at least F4L does not work, sure I can make lists, but nothing can get added to the Cart, clicking on "view cart" results in error 403 Forbidden, so I'll pass on F4L.

My sister in law gave Me the idea of shopping online. I did some online shopping at Stater Bros(Instacart) @ 3.12pm on Tuesday, a little over 2 hours later and 4 bags of groceries showed up on My doorstep with a Staters employee that I know who did the delivering out of Her car's trunk, neat! On Wednesday I'm going to call F4L Corporate and tell them what I think of their website, while it has potential, it needs work done to it to prefect its usage, trying to add the list to the cart made a 403 error twice on a potential $126.39 order, their portal also added or doubled items, gave at least one item a negative number, you can't sort in any way shape or form, instacart by comparison was as easy as pie to operate at Staters, while the shopping site at Food4Less seems like it's a Beta site and not ready for primetime. Instacart even asked if the item is out of stock if it could substitute a similar item. If one typed in "Best Foods Mayonnaise 30oz", Instacart performed like a trooper, enter the 30oz with the other search terms on Food4Less and the size was ignored. Both carts let Me choose which store to shop at, of course the manager just gave excuses as to why the 403 error showed up, but then He knows possibly nothing about programming or at least less than I do. There is one positive thing I could do @ Food4Less.com and that was update the prices on My PC's food shopping list here in Notepad with the prices from Food4Less.com online. No spreadsheet needed here, since Notepad is all I use and have used for over a decade.

Last month had 5 paying Â£1,750.00 It seems that all prizes except the jackpot are now fixed levels. 3 = Â£30 4=Â£140 5=Â£1750 5/6+ =Â£1,000,000 (3 lucky winners yesterday btw - No, I'm not one of them. For the 1st time in a very long time, got no numbers at all). 6=jackpot. The days of winning various "nice" amounts for 5 numbers seems to be over. :-( Still Â£1,750 is not to be ignored. Don't worry about the lack of luck, sometimes one has it, sometimes one does not. Yeah $2,256.52 not to be ignored, yeah I looked it up.

[ Approved by Governor June 27, 2018. Filed with Secretary of State June 27, 2018. ] This bill would repeal SSP payment reductions for purposes of CalFresh eligibility, and would grant CalFresh eligibility, as specified, to recipients of SSI, SSP, or both as of June 1, 2019, or an alternate implementation date determined by the department that is no later than August 1, 2019. The bill would require a county welfare department to determine continuing eligibility and benefits for households, as specified. By imposing requirements on counties relative to CalFresh, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would establish the SSI/SSP Cash-In Supplemental Nutrition Benefit (SNB) Program to provide nutrition benefits to a CalFresh household that had its benefits reduced when a previously excluded SSI or SSP recipient was added to the household under the new eligibility provisions. The bill would also establish the SSI/SSP Cash-In Transitional Nutrition Benefit (TNB) Program to provide nutrition benefits to a CalFresh household that became ineligible when a previously excluded SSI or SSP recipient was added to the household under the new eligibility provisions. The bill would provide that the SNB and TNB program benefits would be granted only to the extent funding is appropriated in the annual Budget Act. The bill would make conforming changes to related provisions, as specified.

Firstly that is a very generous and kind offer from Sirius to Vic of a share of any future winnings. But also it is a carrot being dangled as an incentive upon the basis that it would only happen if Vic started to become sensible about his finances. An offer of a win/win situation if you like. But what I fear is that knowing Vic he won't quite look at it like that. Judging by his response to the SNAP payments in June or August, he has already decided in his own mind that he is going to get them at the published rate, when he can't even apply for them yet and he won't know until then what if anything he will get. It's the same with some Bill that might get passed in 4 years time when we don't know which political party will be in power or even who the President will be. But in Vic's mind he is already allowing for that to happen. It's not his fault, clutching at straws and mere possibilities is the only way he knows how to live. It could be the same with Sirius's offer in that he will bank on it happening and think OK, he's promised he will bail me out in the future, which he thinks won't be that far away, so I don't have to try too hard to economize in the meantime do I. And judging by his inheritance that he blew, it wouldn't make that much difference to his life anyway in the long term, easy come easy go. The other observation is this latest business of latching 3 windows. Have things now got to the stage where he can't even be trusted to shut the windows in his own home properly? If so then I think Vic at age 59 this year has reached a crossroads, in that just how feasible or sensible is it for him to continue to live on his own. It's becoming more and more clear, to me at least, that he needs some sort of assisted living. But being America it won't happen until he holds his hand up and asks. Or he ends up in court for non-payment of debt and questions get asked how he got in that state. Your guess as to which might happen first. Someone called Scruff popped in recently after a years absence and seemed quite surprised that nothing had changed, same old, same old. Sometimes a fresh outside view cuts through the fog. No unwanted advice being offered, no criticism, just observations. So you think I won't get them? Other people in other states who get SSI get SNAP, didn't you read what was posted? Or do you think it's a lie? I did get an email on this. AB1811 is not a bill in Congress, it's a State Law that was already signed by by the Governor in 2018, since you don't know much I thought I'd fill a hole in your knowledge, and the state legislature is Dominated by Democratic Party Members. Chaptered = Signed into California State Law. REFERENCE: ASSEMBLY BILL (AB)1811 (CHAPTER 35, STATUTES OF 2018) http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/ACL/2018/18-90.pdf?ver=2018-07-31-142643-887 As to the 3 windows, you don't know why they were not latched and they are sliding windows behind blinds... 1 was unlatched behind a couple pieces of cardboard and the blinds, the other 2 windows were only partly latched and behind blinds.

What you last posted you get per month is very close to that, if you get this SNAP payment as well, you won't be below the poverty level surely?[/quote] $771.00 comes from SSI $160.72 comes from CA and is sent to the SSA to payout to SSI recipients and so far does not get a COLA, a COLA is a Cost Of Living Allocation and on SSI/SSDI/SS benefits is determined once a year around October, last year SSI went from $750 a month in 2018 to $771 in 2019, a 2.8% increase. $771.00*12 months = $9,252.00 + missing benefits to be at 100% of the Federal Poverty Level(FPL) is $3,238.00 or about $269.84 a month.

They see you as a "shallow pit" when compared to other residents, and thus want to make all their captives' holes the same depth. On the bright (less dark?) side they have given you a few months notice, and not just hiked your rent by $25, due at the next payment date. The few months, which is nice, is cause of CA law that applies to mobile home park residents, not the park, the park would just raise the rent next month if they could, We can't even contact the park owner, the person who is the nominal manager is I think a renter or tenant and She is not often in the office which is closed most of the time. I can't imagine what the raise is for the tenants. Oh and cause I dogged ~~two~~ 3 windows, the hard to reach kitchen window had the lower latch closed, the upper was open, the living room window was the same as the kitchen, the rest are all tightly closed, the furnace was on for 4 minutes instead of the usual 12 minutes, that should help some.

I think I discovered why My right arm was hurting when I get up in the morning, the window above My bed was unlatched, it's now latched with both latches, I do need to take the vacuum over to the windows, My bedroom window looked like it needs it, but at least it's sealed and I can't feel a breeze now near the cardboard, the cardboard is there to keep most of the light out since I have blinds on the windows that came with the home.

My late maternal uncle said to work smarter, not harder, harder gets one no where. I don't need someones permission to use the money that I get, I or anyone is to use it as they or I see fit I was told by the SSA, it's a personal decision where there is no right or wrong. I can legally buy something like anyone else can and I can have and use credit cards too. Anyone thinks they do have a say, I simply don't care. Your opinion would be noted, but I am not bound by someones opinion nor are you, I have the same rights as anyone else in the US, no more, no less. If someone burns their Nike shoes cause of a person thinking it would bother Liberals, Liberals don't care, the person burning their shoes spent the money to get those shoes, the Liberal is not bothered by the act, is the act of burning something one bought stupid?

So what is going on over there?

So far Heated Foods is not allowed, purchases do not include any sales taxes, some may object to that, though I don't know why.

You can own your car, home, and retirement plan and still qualify for CalFresh. @Vic, and @Rob, Alcohol, (obviously), IS NOT permitted on CalFresh/SNAP... That's not to say one cannot buy alcohol, BUT, one MUST PAY out of pocket for it. All regular food items ARE covered. MOST grocery stores in CA now charge a "Bag Fee" for paper bags, HOWEVER; when a CalFresh/SNAP card is used the cashier backs out/voids the Bag Fee. (This is how it's been for me for years.) At my limited income level, (modest as it is, it is slightly larger than Vic's), BUT being on SSDI, I am graded differently than Vic. I was just reduced to $65 a month for CalFresh. So, I ask people here, CAN YOU SURVIVE on just $65 a month for food allowance??? I believe the resounding answer is "NO"... TL I was told in an email that it would be $140-$170 a month cause I live alone and not in a household with someone else, until I see an official letter saying otherwise, I will stick to that. Oh and I don't buy Cigarettes or Alcohol like just My grandpa did not do, He had the money, He just did not want those, it was said He was as healthy as a horse when He died at 82yrs old, He is also remembered by the Historical Society, but I digress. @ Some here(not those like TL or Sirius, etc, etc, etc), who I won't name called good people suckers, they know what you know and aren't judgemental, and no one is forcing them they can if they want to, some here don't like it, some elsewhere would ignore it. It reminds Me of the Nike burning protests and such, people that are opened minded don't care if you burn your own property and neither do I, which is why it's not happening anymore.

One thing that is clear is that there is a published plan laying out how to apply, when the acceptance letter is released, declaration of how much one will get, and the start date. Basically, one does a quick screening, passing this doesn't mean that one will actually be accepted; then one does the application; a few days later one is meant to get the letter that (hopefully) says how much and when payments will kick-off. The thing is I live alone, other people who get what I get, get SNAP automatically in other states, eligibility won't happen here until either June or August per state law, yes state laws do apply, I own a car and a home, I'm familiar with the rules to both, I've been in the system since 2003 and I'll die in the system too, I'm too black and blue to be otherwise. I also get Medicaid(Medi-Cal in CA). Also for someone who is disabled and getting a check from the SSA there are no work requirements.

I will get things fixed and then I can get back to the business of paying down My cards, which I had made a good stab at before I was interrupted, though when I do I'll go after the secured card and convert it to unsecured and get a refund of the money I put in it. I'd put part of that refund into a frosted window in the back bathroom, the rest on paying down Amazon by about $212, both practical choices. Which is part of My plan, but like I already said I'm not going to use any cards after June or August of this year. I'll get to Paypal Credit asap, the idea is take out the smaller ones and liberate income as you go, once done it will take about 5 months to finish off Paypal Credit and yes by that time I will have about $400 to do that with starting in Dec 2020.

I got down on My knees, but hard landed on My right knee, the carpet helped ward off the impact, the pain has gone away now as long as I'm not on it. I think by August or September I could have $288.00 collected for the breaker box and 20 outlets, arcing is what happened before in the box cause someone before I bought the place tried to use a CH breaker in a BR breaker box, more cleaning? I don't know, sigh. Help from here in more than words would help, but unless My check gets bigger, I can't do everything, I do have limits, I can't at present fix My car, the breakers and pay down the cards all at the same time. https://paypal.me/zoom314 @ Bob Smith, a few computer bits would be paid for with Paypal Credit which I have to pay on anyway and would be from ebay, most large pc parts are on hold until December and have been since the engine died, small ones I can handle, Paypal Credit doesn't affect My credit score since they don't show up for reasons unknown to Me and I always pay on time, if I spend within what I've paid down or if I don't interest will pile up. I will deal with paying off Paypal Credit at a later date, it's not like they are going to demand Me to payoff the whole thing in one gulp, they don't do that. I plan on using Paypal Credit in March to pay for the engine, I have 2 choices on ebay, one for $250.80 w/a 30 day parts warranty and one that was in a head on collision for $268.20 w/a 90 day parts warranty, both have been tested, the more expensive one I'd like to get for $238.20 by making a Best Offer, but We'll see. In April I have to put together $145 from My check and $255 from a payday lender to pay for the labor and the loan won't be paid off until June at the earliest. In June or August I know I can get SNAP benefits of $140-$170 per month, this what I was told and until I get an official letter saying it's lower I'll stick with what I've been told, which means I can empty My wallet of all but 2 debit cards then.

If I get this place fixed up enough, I may see how much it's really worth when I'm 62 and see if I could sell it for about $40,000.00, which would be a good profit on $20,000.00 and yep housing in CA is always in demand, even way out here, I'm watching a place in the mountains that is at $69,000.00, homes or houses only have property tax charges and no sales tax, real estate fees and a commission to the agents are another matter, possibly around $5140.00, plus I'd need money for an inspection $200.00, plus $2000.00 for moving, a deposit for moving there and enough income to withstand space rent of $634 a month, I currently pay $265, though I have paid $320 under a prior park owner, and there is the taxes on the place which for $69,000.00 is $659.27 a year, divided by 12 in an escrow account and a mortgage would be ok, over 30yrs $327, over 15yrs $417 a month with taxes and fire insurance and of course YMMV as the amounts are only an estimate, of course this would be if the lender I picked and who knows the area will lend for there, if so it's a place built in 2011 and is at 4407' in elevation, a bit more than the 1962' where I'm at now and yes it does snow there . By the time I'm 62 I might have enough income to pull this off, there is the possibility of having enough income then as there is a bill that would if passed and signed into law would give Me a much better income(125% of poverty at the very least, instead of what I have now), though I would still not be getting rich, if not well I have the place I live in now and I have no mortgage or loan on it. 1040sqft with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, bigger than the 840sqft that I have now. Buy low, sell high, if one can. A snowy day there at 4407', not exactly something that happens much there, conditions like here have to be just right. Wait a few days and this would be gone.

At least the rear fan is in place. The new prescribed Naproxen pain pills @ 500mg each(2 per day) are helping a lot more. I installed the 16GB(2x8GB) Patriot 1866MHz DDR3 ram in this motherboard for safe keeping and to keep it from getting lost, they're the 2 Black Dimms on either side of an E5-1650 v2 22nm 3.50GHz cpu. Oh and the 360mm Coolgate radiator is being taken out of the case asap and put back in the box it came from along with the screws it came with. And I finally did some work on this motherboard, I fixed a velcro pad with some Super Glue under the ROG light/led(between the top pci-e slot and the cpu, it has white printing on it), I changed the cpu from an i7 940 2.93GHz 4 core cpu(130w) to a Xeon X5675 3.06GHz 6core cpu(95w), I cleaned up the i7 940 and used some Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound on the X5675. For a larger pic @ 1920*1440, click on the pic. It's a beautiful motherboard, soon it goes in a HAF XB case, which can't hold a 360mm radiator unless modded and that is only if the overall length of the 360 is less than the inside of the case, I think a 280mm rad and 2 fans would do, EK makes one with 6-32 screws as does XSPC and I think Coolgate, but that is not for right now, I'm only working with what I have here for the moment. And yes it's heavier than your average motherboard and there's no distilled water in it yet, gak.

I knew I shouldn't have spoke of the devil, as we all know, he's bound to appear. Shortly after making the post above, I wanted a cup of tea but realised I ran out of milk, so went & got some. On the way in with the milk, checked the mailbox. I've got mail. Since then been on the phone to the relevant Dept & people concerned - I wasted my breath, so 1st thing tomorrow, lawyer time. With what I've already posted, one will see why I hate bureaucrats with a vengeance! Back in April 2014 I cleared not just the 2 debts owed to family but others that had built up. 2 weeks after the debts were cleared, I received the Council Tax bill for 2014-15. It showed the amount due for that year together with a small outstanding balance. That balance was the legal costs that the council had to pay to obtain a liability order against me. Understood, no problem. That was cleared along with that years payments. Hoorah! Another bill out of the way! Until this afternoon. For those who want proof of the following, I'll provide if asked once I redact it as there is too much identifiable info on it. However, I'll post the 1st 2 lines. On 18.06.13 Peterborough Magistrates Court granted a liability Order against you forÂ£342.04. The current outstanding under the order is Â£82.04. The letter was dated 11.02.19 & received today. IIRC, the bill for 2013-14 was for Â£274.04. My bank at the time put all debit card payments down as Visa purchases. So unless I was taught wrongly at school, this... from Â£342.04 = -Â£67.04 (there is no outstanding amount on that year). What has come to light recently is that many people here having paid their bill annually, still got summoned to appear in court. Magistrates rightly threw the cases out. So Vic, get that spreadsheet up & running. Also, any payments you make online, print them out & also have it e-mailed to you. Having proof is a godsend. Edited for spelling with the earlier edit to reduce image size, it was too large. Well that's all good and all, but everything here is paid up, the only worry that I have at the moment only concerns: taking a 33 gallon sized bag of trash to the nearest dumpster, food, mail, and the engine to My car, beyond that nothing. I bought 6 loaves, now I have a little over 3 left and 15 days left in this month until March roars in.

I recall that you have mentioned such troubles in the recent past and wonder if there is a connection, and these can be made worse if one has a hiatalus hernia - have a word with your doctor and see if he will swap you to different "version" - I'm not sure if your doctor does phone consultations, but this is one of those things that can be sorted out quite easily if he does. Well the nausea I've not had, I have had some pains in the gut, but that was gas(keep a bathroom handy), acid reflux is easy to avoid, just drink more DHMO or consume less salty foods(Chili Cheese Fritos anyone?) and drink more soda or DHMO before bedtime that works for Me. Doctor Phone consults, nope, they're too busy, getting an office worker is the best one can hope for out here in the Wilderness, Yermo is not Civilization according to someone that I know of, but what do I know on this?

Fair enough. As for not caring or against your use of credit cards, I for one, never said that. What I did say was to re-evaluate income & expenditure. Notice the difference? Fixed income I can understand so looking at expenditure is a must. A dollar saved here & there & pretty soon, cash is available to reduce credit debt. Been there, done that & wore the t-shirt. The biggest trap anyone can find themselves in is the Credit Trap. That Â£4,000 I paid into my account on 4 April was from my savings account which I had with a different bank. (better saving rates). To do an electronic transfer to another bank or in a cheque was a Â£25 fee. So saved Â£25. Was that savings? NO, it was saving an un-necessary fee. If I had far to travel to put into my current account, then yes I would have paid it as walking around on a busy Fri morning with that amount of cash - I only had approx. 300 feet to walk. Making savings doesn't always mean putting into a savings account. Sorry Sirius, the not caring was aimed at others, ones I blocked in case they looked, Yeah, well it's just going to take time, I'm going after them in order, next smallest to largest, once the 6 are down to zero, then I can tackle Paypal Credit with a vengeance, like $300-$400 a month, thankfully they delay interest(that's their fault). Right now everything else beyond food and My car is on hold, and I did get back from shopping for food just now. What I don't use cards for is rent(paper check only), internet(Debit), car insurance(deducted automatically from My account), and to a temporary extent food, I'll have Food Stamps of about $140-$170 a month starting somewhere between June and September and then I can put away the cards, Amazon is no longer being used though Amazon is not paid off yet, then the fun will begin paying the cards down, first with the secured card, then back to Amazon, then the smallest unpaid card, until all are zero balance, then Paypal will be dealt with.

Oh and those 5 items(less than $16 total) and the ram were purchased before I had car problems, but you don't care. I don't like buying on credit like this, but nothing is perfect and it will change in June or August, June or August is not something I can do anything about and is out of My hands. I do have concentration problems, I've known about it for years, it's not curable either. With the tools that I have at My disposal, I'm doing My best to fix My car with no help from anyone, My relatives can't help and they would if they could. Savings would be nice, but not at this point, it's counterproductive for the moment and I need to get the car done, the shop is being nice, but they can't wait forever and April is as close as I can get this done without help. Advice asked for or not, will not fix My car, only money will, the engine is $250.80 currently(if someone does not snag it before I do), the labor is $400.00 as long as the shop stays under current management and does not change, if it did change then I might have to have My car towed home by AAA(My sister in law said to call Her if I need to). I'm currently waiting for a ride, to get My mail and to do the final food shopping for the month(cash only).

My other "cards" have not been so used, they've only been used for actual needs, like food, you know something to eat, I don't get SNAP benefits, though I will be eligible for such in June or August and will no longer be used for anything for a good long time. Even Amazon is not being used, since I was paying it down before the problem with the alternator came up, then of course potholes and lots of rain deep sixed My cars engine, My car is insured, for what the state wants as it has been for decades. While a savings account would have been good, it requires a minimum of $300 to be in there or the bank will charge money, since I am not getting rich I do the best that I can with what I have. Now some things here just showed up and without exception I have no idea who has done what, this started a long time back and predates anything here, though this does not always happen. I can say a lot, some will say I'm a liar which is easy to do online with no to very little proof, some even jump to conclusions and make up stuff, and others of course believe what they want, that I must be spending massive amounts on this or that, no one asks Me did I buy all this at once, some just assume that I did and that I'm guilty as charged... Some can say My priorities are wrong, if I were bleeding, 1st priority in First Aid is to stop the blood flow, which I have been doing, restricting almost everything to paypal credit cuts the flow elsewhere, in June the flow will be cut down to just the balance in paypal credit, since it's the biggest it has to come last, the smallest should come 1st. Oh and I do have a First Aid merit badge which I earned in 1 hour, thankfully I've never had to apply a real tourniquet to stop anyone from bleeding to death, though if I had to, I at least know what to do without thinking. I have 3 cpus on My desk, they've been there for over a year, a lot of stuff has been here for a while, gathering dust in some cases, I moved two cards recently and dusted both, so yeah they look "newish", yet they have been around for a while, I have some ram down at the Post Office which was won and paid for with paypal credit which is like the Sears card of old that My mom had, what else is out there? A seat belt extender($6.39 cash), a DP cable, a usb cable, a 8pin psu extension cable, a CR2032 battery charger, and a mini dp to dp adapter, those 5 items and part of the ram were paid with some of an existing balance and the last $65 minimum payment to paypal credit helped with the ram($67.82). Some big spender... Wow... Most of the time I'm in a great deal of pain and feel tired, 650mg acetaminophen 2-4 times a day(over the counter) and 500mg Naproxen 2 times a day(prescription), plus 1 vitamin C 500mg, B-12 1mg(2 capsules), 1-D3, plus prescriptions for 1-atorvastatin(cholesterol) and 1-lisinopril(high blood pressure). I should get the vacuum out and vacuum the refrige door shelf as there are some things there that while not harmful don't belong there.

One thing I've learned about NEW/Rebuilt Motors and Synthetic Oils: Break in the Engine with REGULAR oil for the first 20K Miles, THEN put back in the Synthetic of your choice. For just a Used Engine, I'd have the mechanic ALSO inspect the seals and gaskets of the ENTIRE Engine BEFORE putting in Synthetic. This is because if ANY Seals or Gaskets are shown to be leaking AT ALL, the Synthetic Oil WILL GUSH at that point. IF the mechanic finds leaky Seals or Gaskets, get them changed BEFORE putting in Synthetic. This WILL change the price of doing the engine! (Upwards, of course...) HOWEVER; as you need this done ASAP, IF any Seals or Gaskets are found to be leaking now, HOLD OFF on Synthetic and just go with petroleum oil UNTIL such time as you can afford to replace the leaky Seals and Gaskets, THEN go to Synthetic. ymmv TL Ok. Now I just have to wait, maybe there will be good news from My sister in law, maybe.

So think carefully about what painkillers you are using, and how long you have been using them for. For a quite few years I've been in fairly continuous renal pain, along with a collection of damaged joints, so I know a lot about pain management - most of it gained from painful experience. One thing I have found is that using a rotation of painkillers (a couple of months on one family, then another couple of months on the next one, then onto a third or back the first) is far more effective than sticking to just one month after month, year after year - your body does get accustomed to each family, and so the effectiveness reduces, and the side effects get more noticeable and by swapping that familiarization never gets a chance to set in. Also, you previously stated that you are using a near maximum dose of the slow-release version of Tylenol - slow release pain killers are great once you have the pain under control, it is often far better to hit the pain hard first thing in the morning, then (much) later in the day switch to the slow release version of the same drug. I have 3 dislocated joints(hips and right shoulder), stiff back, osteoarthritis, tortured knee and ankle joints. One Naproxen 500mg pill twice a day is by prescription, the joints have squeaked since I was at least 40, in July I'll be 59. 8hr tylenol 650mg taken 2 at a time once every 8hrs allows Me to stand and walk for a limited period and is time released. I've been depressed for a lot longer than when I was 40, so the pills and that don't have much of a connection, being depressed reaches way back, closer to 40yrs back. I also have a stent in Me, 3 titanium screws, 2 hernia's, at least I don't have any pins or stainless steel in Me, shudder.

I could no doubt have turned up a good few more models in that sort of price range, but were the first two models I looked at. So there are cars out there at much less than $7k. No, you just used different search options there than I did. I look on Carmax a lot, I've also looked on autotrader. No one is going to get identical searches unless they enter everything exactly the same. I did find a $500 vehicle on Carmax, 16-20mpg, may as well be a sherman tank.

Well a few days ago you posted that it cost ~$400 for the alternator replacement - I think you are being "generous with the truth Vic. No I just didn't like to type that much sometimes and I have concentration problems, it's how I was such a good shot in archery with no practice(red zone) and with a rifle, I own neither, nor would I ever want to. I take some serious pain meds since I'm in constant pain. Local buses are out, I'm on the wrong side of the fwy according to the VVTA. Sure if I need to go to the Doctor, I could get transportation. wow... There is VVCSC, they give free rides to Seniors and Disabled People, but I'm not in "their" area. Then there is ADA rides, cost is about $7 per trip, no passes, but it is door to door service. But then I live in the Wilderness where everyone is on their own, a car here is essential, I may have to write something and I don't like to.

Cost of engine = $250 Cost of installing (based on the only quote you've published) = $900 Excluding your list of required parts, which I've guessed at $300 - and I would accept that is a pure guess, based on UK prices for comparable items at $1=Â£1 That's $1450, about $400 more than the "bottom" price on Edmunds. I don't want to see you get caught in some horrid trap due to you missing something that needs to be done - has that guy that says he can do the complete engine swap in half the time the garage has quoted given you a quote or even a realistic estimate? (It would be really great if he did and it was about $450 including the shopping list of parts). (Ten hours sounds a bit high. Five hours sounds way too light for anything other than a straight swap, and given there are probably any number of hoses, gaskets etc that will have to be changed, I'd consider five hours to be "wildly optimistic".) Chris - There is a third option, Vic and the garage come to some sort of arrangement so he pays the bill off at $xxx per month - a number of places out in the sticks will come to this sort of arrangement with "valued customers". I think that's how he sorted the $400 for the alternator change he had done recently, but that can be a risky way to go and would need careful negotiation on both sides. Yeah to get an exact amount as if I were going to buy the parts Myself, I'd need to go to O'Reilly auto parts, it could be $300, one thing I'd not buy new is the air filter, I still have a good K&N which was recently recharged. On the $400.77 that was $200.77 and then 2 payments of $100 each, I'd like to repeat that, but of course there is the guy who might be named Rich getting paid, seems to be a sticking point. His boss Jennifer said Rich could do the job in about half the time, She didn't say much more as She's short handed and in a hurry a lot, beyond the fact that Kyle did not want to work on the car since it would take too much time in His mind, so much for all the business I've done there over the years. Kyle said "they were not equipped to do the work", which is not true according to Jennifer. So nothing has been accomplished so far. The engine from ebay would have to be delivered to a business address according to the seller, which is ok with Me since there is nowhere here at My home to store such a heavy item and the floors here are not that strong. The 3rd option is what I'd hoped to do, but it may not be an option. Cost of a replacement vehicle? Possibly $7,000.00 or $500 if I wanted to pay lots for fuel every month, so far neither of those is an option and Carmax is a long ways from here. Public transit is either limited or non existent here, I will have to make a few calls to find out more, still I don't see Me going to the relatives anymore since I think they're too far away for existing transit, sure there is a Barstow to San Bernardino bus route, but from there where next and it runs only a few times a day, miss it by 1 minute and the idea is wait nearly 24 hours for the next bus.

Again, a guess $1500 for a one in fair condition? If that's the case then I would go for that '68 film title and scrap it, you should get a few dollars back, and as you say are going for $2k upwards - it could well be worth biting the bullet and going for that rather than a gas guzzler (much though I think in your heart that's what you really want - in much the same way as I want a '65 Mustang.....) I wasn't sure, so I looked it up, Bing says a lot, weird. It's still less than a replacement or even what I paid for it, grain of salt time, no I don't believe that. Edmunds says $1,058.00, before it was $1,246.00, still the repair cost would be less than trying to replace it, $500 for a car that gets 16-20mpg just doesn't work too well for Me, gas costs for Me would double. And I have no idea what the insurance would cost. If it were a mustang I might be close on the insurance, otherwise I have no idea. I'm not in the right area for that $2K and upwards, since the pilot program is not statewide.

These are what that engine needs, I might call about a title loan, but that may be a dead end and so might any repairs. I signed up at a Charity website, I have 1 point, beyond that I have no idea what is required there. I also don't think My relatives could help with repairs, My older niece is supporting Her mom and younger sister on $80K a year and a BA in english. My nephew could take that used engine and such and get it to work, but the 2.0L doesn't come with timing marks built in, and He's busy driving a semi these days, so that's probably out. In short I'm out of luck with a dead car, which may as well be junk now, even if I didn't have any debt it would be only possible to buy a vehicle that gets 16-20mpg, in 2 or 3 months. There was an article about a pilot program from 2015 to get low income people into EV's, like hybrids and Battery Equipped Vehicles, plus provide Level2 charging equipment at home, but that was 4 years ago, I emailed CARB about that, maybe I'll hear back about it, though in the pilot program, the High Desert was not part of this, only San Joaquin, Los Angeles, San Bernardino valley and I think Riverside County was in on this. The amount listed was $12,000.00 for help in getting either a hybrid or BEV, though some $9,500 I could use, the rest is a useless tax credit to Me, a used Toyota Prius can be more than that, like about $2,223.00 more currently, My relatives have one. There is an organization that is mentioned by the VVTA for Seniors and Disabled People, I'm going to call them, as the transportation would be free, but I don't know if they come out here or not, or even if they are still around. VVTA is the Victor Valley Transit Authority. Yeah I do have friends nearby, I'd need to get a seat belt extender for a Honda Odyssey minivan asap since the seat belt does not fit Me since the owner does not have one, I found a 9" one, but I'd need the year.

No it won't, My income will still be there, I won't be using the cards soon, I'm already not using them for the most part, in a few months even that will end and only cause I will be able to end using them. Like I said any bits would come from only one source as the balance allows or at least I implied that before. I do have friends who I have formed relationships with, I recently got a ride, I don't want to do that very much. I have made in roads on the smallest of what I owe and will be able to broaden that in either June or August, the date is out of My hands and has nothing to do with Me. I will get the car working again, so far what is about to be bought is one that has a bit more mileage than what is in My own car, but it's not much more and with the parts from My old block it will do just fine, new oil and a filter will be needed, a relocation of the oil filter can be done, though not at this moment, like to somewhere away from the serpentine belt, yes this would add 2 hoses and the parts that come with the kit. The hoses are not included of course. So far that work might be about $808.00 in work, which is part labor and the cost of the engine, delivery is free, it'll take a few months but it won't be gaining interest and I have proven I can do that already.

Not all was used for computer bits, nor most, otherwise I'd have a lot more, I didn't have more than three 580's, 2 are long gone. If some want to believe that I had more and spent more, that's not My problem. If I buy a psu, I might like some room as others elsewhere do, I have used a multi rail psu for years with no problems, sure it's big and when it was bought it was NEW and pricey. Up until recently I had 4 psus that I bought, I had a 5th, but that came with an obsolete HP AMD system that was given to Me which cost Me nothing, it was going to be tossed out, so I tried to see if it was worth using, at least it got recycled properly instead of being thrown out illegally, the included 300w psu was not good enough for expansion and HP support would not allow a non HP part, plus the psu was slowly failing. I'm not a computer newbie, so I don't feel I need to ask, unless it is something new to Me, then I might or I might do some research, like reading reviews, before the internet came about I read a lot of Byte Magazine and Computer Shopper reviews. But then I've built My own since 1992, heck when I started I had a modded computer before the term even existed and no I did not do the work of adding a keyboard and extra memory to that 1st computer which was very new, though I waited until the warranty was up at least and this was before 1992, just like My paternal grandpa was into health food before that was a term and He lived until He was 82, He outlived 2 wives, 1st and 2nd, it was said He was as healthy as a horse.

4138) Message boards : Number crunching : PSU Design (Message 1977465) Posted 28 Jan 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Sorry to stick my nose in where it probably doesn't belong, but having learned a couple of things recently due to a couple of electrical issues in my old house, I have a maybe useful comment. Most household 15/20 amp circuits can't handle 30 amps safely due to the existing wiring. For 15 amps you need minimum 14ga. wire, for 20 amp it's 12ga., for 30 amps it's 10ga. While it's not uncommon to find 12ga. in a 15 amp circuit, 10ga. is very uncommon. For safety's sake, please make sure the infrastructure can handle what you might throw at it. Not at all, as the OP here you are welcome, and fresh views are always useful. But there are also certain facts that you are maybe not aware of that have been posted before on these boards and are in the public domain. The person that made the 30 amp comment lives in a 35 year old mobile home whose wiring is of the same age because it has never been replaced, and likely of a minimum standard. An external breaker box leaks when it rains. Already a large number of socket outlets (receptacles) need replacing, so much so that they have a number of 30 feet extension leads to get power to where they want it. It is fairly clear that the wring in that place is likely dangerous and needs to be replaced and uprated. Even considering 30 amp circuits is a folly of great magnitude. We are also told that the person is in the process of building another 5 computers in addition to their daily use one. Plugging that lot in will likely result in the the whole place going up in flames. However experience has taught us that any advice, even safety related, is not welcome and will likely be flatly rejected. However I agree with both Bill and Halfempty that the infrastructure is of prime importance in electrical safety matters. +2 My mobile home is a 14'x60' 1987 Fleetwood Westfield, your math is off Chris S, it's 32yrs old, at least it's paid off and last I looked this is 2019, not 2022. I am not doing anything of the sort Chris S******* as I have only one 25' 14ga extension cord coiled on a shelf on My desk, not a number of 30 foot of cables, you have no idea what you are talking about... I am building 5 extra PCs, but I at least know what I'm doing... Just exaggeration and innuendo as usual, heck I could go on, but why? When you'll do that all by yourself. It's not a wiring problem, the wiring here conforms to the National Electric Code and is not multi strand wiring like is used in a lamp cord, the wiring here is solid core wire with plastic insulation called Romex, it's 20 bad electrical outlets that Fleetwood installed back in 1987, the electrician said the wiring is ok. I've replaced one outlet and one light switch, someone else installed a GFCI outlet, the two 20Amp circuits with 1 outlet each near Me I'd paid to have installed by an electrician, and an electrician that I hired in 2018 replaced 3 more outlets and I had all the breakers but the main breaker replaced by said electrician in 2018, the 20 outlets are not being used for the most part and will be replaced asap. If I could snap My fingers I'd have it all done plus have installed 4 new 20 Amp circuits but the guy charges $150 for a trip charge to come out here plus parts and labor, at least I have the replacement outlets and breakers, want it done sooner? If my knees, hips, and right shoulder didn't all hurt, I'd replace the 20 outlets Myself, since I do know how to do that and I know what the color codes are, Black and Red are Hot wires, White is Neutral, Green or Bare copper wire is with current wiring Ground, romex cables that are marked 14/2 or 12/2 indicate ground wires that are surrounded with paper insulation and the other two wires have plastic insulation around each wire, while 14/3 and 12/3 romex cables have all wires covered in plastic insulation around each wire. I also know what pigtails and wire nuts are too. And I do have the parts, since most outlets don't get used it's not a top priority, they will get taken care of when I have the money to do so. The window a/c is on a new outlet and the other items on that circuit are smaller devices. Most of the kitchen is two 20Amp circuits. The house has a litterbox, 2 fans in the bathrooms where the outlets have already been replaced in the bathrooms, the front bedroom has only a low wattage light, the rear bedroom has a 12w LED light and a 16" floor fan, so except for the living room circuit everything else has next to nothing on it or is on new outlets already, the kitchen has a refrig, microwave oven, garbage disposal, nimh battery charger, a dishwasher, and a 2 slot toaster, no not a Seti toaster. The devices on the living room circuit with the a/c(the a/c alone is close to 10amps in usage), is a TV, an Xbox1, a dvd/vhs player/recorder, a modem, a PC router, a table lamp, aquarium lights which are almost never on, and a 16" remote controlled floor fan that is about 8' away from Me. My entire PC is on a 20Amp circuit that was installed back around 2008 by an electrician and is not in need of a new outlet. Though before summer comes I want to put the floor fan on an outlet here in the kitchen where it used to be at instead of on the living room circuit, which means I need to find a short extension cord for it since the fan cord does not reach all that far, which is why I wanted to get the a/c on its own circuit since the a/c is hogging the living room circuit, literally. My vacuum cleaner is a relatively new device and not one from 40 years ago and I can plug it into the kitchen and get all or nearly all the home done from there in spurts, hours instead of days, and the newer vac puts out a lot less heat than My old vac did too.

I have a 10ga cable which used to be part of a malfunctioning 240v clothes dryer circuit, I went to gas instead, now that cable powers two 20Amp circuits and this was done by an electrician, I also have a large aluminum cable about as big as ones fist feeding power from the stub to My home and it's the only aluminum electrical cable that I have here, copper would have been better, but at the time I was running out of money from My small inheritance and the aluminum cable was free and has worked perfectly since late 2006.

Shorts and tee shirt. And everyone in the rest of the country asks why houses cost so much here. BUT, it is about a month early due to global warming. Should be the last week of February, not the last week of January. Not as much flat or nearly flat land with a good to great climate compared to the midwest which does not have lots of Mountains or deserts and of course lots of people want to live in California, and this has been true since the 1970's, so a lot of stuff is imported into California, homes are not inexpensive here as the demand exceeds the available supply of houses and land to build houses on... Want to have an inexpensive home? Expect to have a very long commute from the CA high desert, the farther from LA one is the hotter it gets in the summer and colder in the winter, the Victor Valley is especially cold in the winter thanks to snow on the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountain Ranges, but conversely housing becomes less expensive as the hotter/colder areas are less desirable to live at, most drive from LA to Las Vegas at high speed, only stopping for fuel/electricity, restrooms, and food, then it's back on the highway to their destination. I was born in Los Angeles at Victory Hospital in 1960 and I have lived in the CA high desert since 1988, so I do know all that to be a fact.
4149) Message boards : Number crunching : PSU Design (Message 1977168) Posted 26 Jan 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: @ Chris S I think the heat output generated by a home computer would be so infinitesimal as to make no difference. Global warming comes mainly from Burning fossil fuels which release CO2 pollution into the atmosphere. Remember that much of the electricity generated in the world comes from fossil fuel burning. The less heat generated by the computer, the less fuel that is burned. If I boil a standard 3Kw electric kettle for a cup of tea, at 240V that is a current of about 12.5 amps through a standard 13A plug and wall socket. At 110V that would be 27amps. It seems that the USA original distribution system was 110V DC when they changed to AC they kept the voltage the same. The U.K. secondary (home) distribution is 230V 50Hz single phase. The U.S. secondary (home) distribution is 240V 60Hz from the distribution line with two phases. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution#240_volt_systems_and_120_volt_outlets My electric kettle is 1800W which is too much for U.S. branch circuits, but here in Vietnam where they use 230V 50Hz single phase, it works fine. Modern U.S. homes actually use a split-phase to get their usual 120V outlets, but high usage devices (electric ranges, clothes dryers, house heaters, electric car chargers, and some power tools) use both sides (phases which are 180 degrees apart) of the supply. 120V is safer than Vietnam where you can easily get electrocuted from a faulty outlet. The UK uses 110v building site transformers which are centre tapped, this means that they are essentially dual phase, meaning that 110v is actually reduced to 2 x 55v. This lower voltage and current is much safer to use, and it is unlikely to have the punch to cause you problems if you accidentally stepped on a live wire in your safety boots. Actually, a center tap from the distribution line and a transformer in the UK would give 115V 50 Hz and still be single phase. I agree this is much safer for people when around the power outlets and uses. I agree that the U.S. National Electrical Code would only allow two of the computers on a standard branch circuit. However, using the split-phase technique, a special outlet could be fed from both side of the supply and a total of four computers could then be connected. There is a 30 Amp 120v single pole breaker that I could get since it's compatible with My Eaton Breaker Box, though not this second. I'd have to get a different outlet and a 3 way adapter, but it would work. Half My circuits here are either 15Amp or 20Amp, all are 120v, I don't have any "240v" circuits for the moment, if I did it would be at 100Amps for charging a BEV at Level2 charging(19.2KW max for Level2) and this would be hardwired to a AC charger, I'd need to upgrade My main breaker to at least 125Amps as well as the Stub and the Submeter, provided the underground cable can handle 125 Amps, otherwise I'd be limited to 60Amp breaker for charging and I could then use a NEMA 14-60 plug as shown here. The cost of charging, depends on what one is paying per KWh, for some it could be $6, but YMMV. And no I have no intention of having this work done, not unless I got a BEV would I need to do so, I'm just saying what is possible to do.

I had ordered two little packs of lined post-it notes on Saturday, and lo and behold, they were apparently delivered overnight! I looked on my Amazon account, and it says they were "handed to a resident" at 12:22 AM - That's half past midnight on a Sunday. I don't have any special account with Amazon. I don't have Prime. The package doesn't even indicate it was shipped UPS. It appears Amazon delivered it directly. The night delivery is strange, too. All for two little post-it note packs. I'm not complaining. It all just seems strange, and the fact they said "handed to a resident" is odd, too. They didn't ring the bell or "hand" it to me. Amazon now has 24/7 delivery. When a delivery is made they text my phone. I have no idea why they incorrectly noted "handed to resident". Well, it's just amazing to me. I got a good price on the post-it notes, and free shipping. I feel like they lost something on this deal, lol. I should say also that there's another part of my order which is a couple sticks of deodorant, and they are apparently coming Wednesday. I wonder why they didn't wait and package both orders together? So far no Amazon deliveries here, but every once in a while Ontrac drops something off and then vanishes like Ninjas, spooky action indeed.

And a psu that makes less heat is desirable, as do led lights, cfl lights get too warm to touch after a few minutes, yet an led light barely registers any heat after a few hours and can be touched without fear of burning ones hand, sure there is some heat in an led light, but it's constant and very low, and unlike cfl's led's do not use or contain mercury. I have a platinum 1050w psu, as soon as I have some more memory for My PC and some energy of My own, I intend to upgrade My PC, most of the time I'm constantly in physical pain and that saps a lot of energy even with two types of pain pills, 8hr 650mg Tylenol and Naproxen Sodium, the one time I am not in pain?

I have an air cooled EVGA GTX590 that once I work on it I might use for a bit to see how well it works and then sell it too, it needs new thicker thermal pads on the ram too, someone put thin blue thermal pads on the ram that are possibly 0.5mm thick, standard pad thickness I was told by EVGA was 1.0mm and that 0.7mm might be ok, no wonder the card was having problems, the ram chips were not being touched by the heatsink, if the thermal pads were making good contact I'd expect to see part of the pads on the chips and/or on the heatsink. And another thing, you'd think this was a no brainer and maybe it is, ;) , the 6/6 or 6/8 or 8/8 ports in the top of a video card are for pci-e power cables, a video card if it has them won't work without the proper pci-e cables plugged in, yet some will plug in a video card into a slot, hook up a video cable, turn the power on, then nothing happens and pronounce said card DEAD.

My 2 Cooler Master HAF XB EVO cases now have a psu each. My next 3 psus will probably be a Seasonic Prime Platinum 1300w psu with 108A on a single 12v rail, shocking, then I won't be buying psus again most likely, at least I hope not. The little cable to turn the psus on with has paid for itself, it's better than trying to use a paperclip which is not guaranteed to work, as some do work and some don't. I actually snapped this one with the 135mm fan running. Oh and both work too, 125 Amps @ 12v, not bad for $66.00 and $74.95 respectively and both are very clean inside too.

Don't know about the US, but here in Australia while parking lots are the property of the company that owns them, people are still subject to the local road rules while driving vehicles in them. So they can be done for DUI (Driving Under the Influence), defective vehicles etc while in the parking lot. DUI's exist here too, but that's 50 types at the very least, plus there is public intoxication, texting while driving, others would know more on this than I do. Parking lots are private here also, but are accessible by the public and police do come and drive thru, sometimes when called or on their own. Walmart has it's own Security, though they will call the cops if needed.

Put two such hosts on the same circuit and you have already exceeded the rating for a standard 15A house breaker. The wiring in the wall from the breaker panel to the outlet is usually the most limiting factor. Standard house wiring, especially from the age of your home was 14 gauge at best maybe even 16 gauge in a mobile home. Also the construction period calls into question if aluminum wiring was used which is its own major headache. To supply power to a high end 4 card host with 1080Ti's would mandatorily require minimum 12ga wire and a 20A breaker preferably with nothing else on the circuit. If building out a new location and breaker panel installation for a dedicated high current draw host, the best solution would be a 12ga wire pull to a dedicated 240V outlet on a 20A breaker. The power supplies auto adjust to the higher voltage and the current draw is halved. The duplex 240V outlet would support two such hosts. My thoughts exactly, My 15A circuits don't have any PCs on them, just a 20A circuit with one PC with 12 gauge copper wire, the rest of My 1987 Fleetwood mobile home has copper as well, but then I have four 20A circuits, 2 were installed by Fleetwood and 2 by an electrician I'd hired in 2008, I do have a newer 1050w Seasonic Platinum psu(180mm) that is going in My PC to replace a huge 1500w Silverstone ST1500S(220mm), I have 4 more 20A breakers and outlets to be installed asap, but I can't say more at this second and I'd like to, but I'll be back later. Ok I'm back, the max number of 1070Ti's and/or 1080Ti's I'd have in a case would be 3 each and no I would not mix the two types in a case, although one can do that, I just don't want to, though if I had to it would be just for testing a new card. My PC uses an EVGA X79 Dark and it allows for 3 video cards max in the diagram(1650 v2 cpu and 360EX cpu cooler w/32GB 1866MHz ram), as does the P55 Sli, the two Asus Rampage 3 Extremes can do 3 or 4, I configured one for 3, the other needs a new socket(about $65 I read), My Asus Rampage IV Extreme allows 4 cards max, though it too can via lane switches use 3 as well, the Rampage IV Black can do the same as the other Asus motherboards, only the R3E would have 3 Zotac 1080Ti Extreme Core Edition cards or 3 Asus 1080Ti Strix OC cards as these take up 2.5 slots each, though My preference is for the Zotac over the Asus, unless I found a really good deal on 3 Asus 1080 Ti Strix OC cards and for the 1080Ti's I have an Enermax 1500w Gold psu each for the two Cooler Master HAF XB EVO cases, the 1070Ti's would be in 3 towers with a Seasonic 1050w in each, I got a really good deal on two Enermax 1500w gold psus and on a Seasonic Snow Silent 1050w Platinum psu, sure they're used and clean and I tested the 2 that have come in and they do work, the 2nd 1500w Gold will be here on Monday, the 2 other 1050w psus are just proposed and can be changed for a 1200w or 1300w Seasonic Platinum Prime if needed.

Most likely :-) But cats being animals are going to be more interested in the quality and amount of what is in a feeding bowl rather than the bowl itself. That is merely for the owners satisfaction. What is PayPal Credit? PayPal Credit is an open end (revolving) credit card account that provides a reusable credit line built into your PayPal account giving you the flexibility to pay for your purchases right away or pay over time. Itâ€™s easy to apply, easy to use and there whenever you need it. PayPal Credit is subject to credit approval and is offered by Synchrony Bank PayPal credit, (in their own words) is still basically just another credit card. But "revolving credit a/c" as a marketing ploy sounds a bit more up market to some sections of the community. Paypal credit What I found interesting is that the USA version charges 25.74% interest, whilst the UK version only charges 17.9% interest rate. Does this mean that borrowing money is dearer in the States or that they feel that loaning money is more of a risk over there? I did some accounting as to what is on My ebay page and it amounts to 1 months worth of spending with Paypal Credit, if I did not buy the stuff there it would save Me 1 month just for 6 items, so in My mind it makes no difference, but of course Chris S just doesn't like Me being resourceful. And further more, someone from outside the US is not a tax payer in the US, otherwise their claim of being from the UK ought to be probed by the IRS. People from the UK don't subsidize people in the United States, in June 2019 I'll be eligible for CalFresh(SNAP) benefits of $140 to $170 a month and in July 2022 I'll be getting about another $270 a month from Social Security that I had paid into for a total monthly income of $1371 or so, I checked with the SSA already and I'll be able to get all 3. My debt will be paid down by Jan 2021, a month less does not make any difference, except of course to Chris S(picky, picky, picky), My benefits come from the United States, not the United Kingdom, no one in the UK subsidizes Me since I don't and wouldn't live in the UK, I could cause of My ancestry get citizenship in IRELAND if I wanted to. I pay $65.99 for 100/10 Internet access and get FREE TV(OTA and Internet), I pay property taxes, My home is paid for since 2006 when I bought it with cash for about $20,000.00 including setup and delivery, zillow.com thinks My home is now worth an estimated $82,691.00 and yes they know My home is a mobile home in a mobile home park, whoopee... It's livable, but then I get ragged on by a perfectionist.

But at the marina I'm on "pay as you use" advance pay meter, no choice unless one doesn't use electricity or have a big solar array (I've a small array which helps a bit, this year I may double it and so further use my dependency on the expensive power from the shore....) It should be possible for you to work out what you monthly average energy bill is, then add a bit for safety and "ring fence" that money so you never run the risk of hitting the energy wall. (works out at about $92.50 per month, so call it $95 for safety....) In theory yes, in reality I just need the new bill, only electricity and gas usage vary, everything else is known and so far unchanging, so far. A place in Crestline would be better billing wise in the summer and not much worse in the winter, only problem besides cost of getting there is the elevation, so far that is 4459 feet to 5259 feet, finding one that is single story, has a garage(none here where I'm at now), has dual pane vinyl windows already, and is solar capable is not impossible(70.1 in pic shown according to zillow.com), like this one at $299,700.00 and 1,794sqft and this place is at about 5,230 feet in elevation, which has a main floor bedroom and a detached garage and yeah a huge fireplace, this house has 3 bedrooms and 1.75 bathrooms.

A bit difficult to make regular monthly payments of the same amount each month. I can with British gas as they take the hit of some months the budget a/c being in arrears, and some months in credit. But I expect there is a hidden cost in their tariffs to allow for that. Nevertheless I can budget with known monthly outgoings. SCE does something like British gas does, the level pay plan, at least for electricity as SCE does not sell gas at all, SWGas sells gas, but the sadly park does not bill like SCE.

This is needed because the energy content of gas varies depending on its exact source. Looking at the charges it is quite noticeable how constant the price is compared to your electricity. As one would expect you use far more gas in the winter than the summer. Thanks Rob, the billing company never defined what CCF meant. My gas furnace is a 2.5 ton unit, comes on for 11-12 mins at night and stays off for about an hour now thanks to some work on the exterior door weatherstripping. The only parts that are 32yrs old in the gas furnace are the pilot, blower, and exterior casing now, the rest from at least 2006, HVAC installers like to push 4.0 ton these days, they're supposed to be better, this unit used to run at about $80 a month in the winter at one time, I've done little improvements over time around here like a Digital thermostat(see pic) with battery backup and mine is not wireless, later on I'll install a 2nd custom sized single hung dual pane vinyl frosted window when I'm confident that it won't hurt Me sometime in 2019, the last custom sized single hung dual pane vinyl window in 2020 or so. Then I need to remove the old swamp cooler and seal up the wall to like it was in 2006 and then replace the back exterior door since it's a hollow core fiberglass door with no insulation. Any work here would need to be done on a credit card as no one will loan in a mobile home park, this makes selling mobile homes harder too as it's Cash Only and it's the biggest piece of personal property that I own and pay taxes on every year, taxes used to be $205.30 a year, I had those cut down to $80.30 a year, zillow.com gives an approximate estimate of $82,691.00 on the worth of My mobile home, whether I could get that or not depends on a buyer and what shape the home and park are in and the latest park owner has been investing money without being prompted by government, new places have $390 space rent, existing like Mine are $265 a month, which may not last forever.

Back in September 2017 it was 6.6c/kw, compared with 14.4 in July 2018 - that's a painful increase :-( And at the same time your consumption has jumped from about 50kw/month to well over 100kw/month That sort of thing just can't be planned and will hurt your budget planning. (Over the same time mine has gone up from ~11p/kw to 13p/kw, which is pretty much in line with the percentage increase in wholesale electricity prices.) What is equally fascinating is the way your energy use appears to peak in the summer, which I guess is associated with you running your air-con?

Sure I can find an 850w Enermax psu or two, a semi-modular Revolution 87+ for about $107.08 from the UK or either a totally Modular 850w Platimax DF for about $274.00(ebay) or a Tytanmax @ 800w @ $292(Amazon), I won't use a Revolution 87+ psu below 1050w as the cables are not compatible, maybe later I'll get a Platimax, Platimax DF, or a Tytanmax in an 850w psu, but right now I just won't have enough to get 16GB of ram(My PC needs an upgrade, I frequently use almost all 16GB of ram(2x8GB) that I have now, 12.7GB in use as I write this), a 2nd and final HAF XB EVO case and 3 psus, about $368 which won't go too far, the $368 includes the $343 heap "credit" since I live in a mobile home park(outside of a mobile home park I'd get a credit on an SCE bill instead), $3.31 "ebay bucks" and some money from My bank account, so the 1350 and one or two 1500's will have to do, the 1st 1500w Enermax psu(115-240v) was paid for with Paypal Credit, the 2nd 1500w(about $65) and 1350w(hard to say as there is a Best Offer I plan to use so this could be $52 to $55 with $9.00 shipping), the haf xb evo case fits My shelving and is either $114.73 or $167.73 depending on availability, the ram is 1866MHz Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 10-11-10-30 to match what I have now and is $83.69 unless some other buyer snaps the ram up first. Last month I used 336KWh and the cost was $40.06 which includes CARE Rate discounts(30%) and Medical Baseline(20%). I received confirmation of a heap credit that will be delivered to My mail box in the USPS mail, yes they said "credit" and they even said "checked" instead of "check", go figure. So if it's a little inefficient, I can stand that, at least My electric bill is not plain schedule D of about $140 from November 2018 @ 435KWh, the billing here sucks, one company would not accept both CARE Rate(30%) and Medical Baseline(20%) discounts at the same time, even in writing and they told the manager not to allow it(there have been more billing companies in here since 2004 than there are fingers on My right or left hands), this is what I was told by the recent manager a tenant, SCE which supplies the park with power said I could get both at the same time and so now I do, I so want to get out of this park since I'd rather get rid of the middle men(park and private billing companies) and go back to dealing with SCE directly which I can't do in here and if the park ever closed where would I be able to take My place? Outside of private land in this area, nowhere as it's 32yrs old and 14 feet wide according to Fleetwood which is the minimum width for this area, in other areas the minimum width is 20 feet and the age can't be more than 10yrs old. I was also told space rent for new mobile home owners in here is going to be $390 a month(Barstow charges $320 at the very least, but My place can't go there), mine is $265 a month and won't be raised, so far.

I would only be using what I am obligated to spend money on paypal credit which does not affect My credit score, paypal credit is a revolving credit line that I pay on, if I missed a payment it would affect My credit and I don't miss payments. Any money that goes to Paypal Credit can't go to a credit card. Opinion noted.

(Message 1973242) Posted 3 Jan 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Greetings, I was looking in Task Manager for whatever reason yesterday and saw something I didn't remember ever seeing before. It's called: "Windows Remediation Service". Weird! I cannot find it now. :\ Anyway, something else I found out is that while I only had 1 Windows update last month, update history shows 4 updates. Micro$oft is accessing MY computer to put their crap on it without me knowing about it? I decided to do some Googling... I found a forum entry on Windows TenForums where someone was asking what "Windows Remediation Service" was, but his problem was that his PC no longer goes to sleep per his schedule settings. He can manually put it to sleep, but no automation. Come to find out, that it's Micro$oft's fault. This is all do to update KB4023057. You can read all about it here: "Only certain builds of Windows 10, versions 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, and 1803 require this update. Devices that are running those builds automatically get the update downloaded and installed through Windows Update." The theory is that "Windows Remediation Service" has something to do with this update and what it does perhaps has something to do with preventing a PC from going to sleep per a schedule. Unfortunately I haven't found anything on Micro$oft sending updates willy nilly to PERSONAL computers. KB4023057 was one of those 4 updates I got and I am most confident that it wasn't the regular update that one needs to reboot the PC for. Because of this, I believe I should make a note when I have to participate in the update and watch for updates that show up afterward, or even before. Call me paranoid, but this smells like Micro$oft's initial Windows 10 setup to be pay-as-you-go. They're gonna do it behind our backs and one day we'll turn our monitors on to see a screen that says, "Give us you credit card number if you want to continue to use OUR computer!" ;) Have a great day! :) Siran +1

Always looking for a free handout, publishing wish-lists, and having to run Gofundme's pleading with people to bail you out because of your own money mismanagement, then it gets very sad. Particularly when people are willing to give good advice and it is ignored with bad grace. Lets see this is the US, not the UK, We don't have a council tax, I did pay My property taxes on My mobile home already which in California is legally personal property unless legally attached to real estate(land to those in the UK). Credit cards don't break US law while getting benefits and there are worse, I can't change benefit levels and there are those who are worse off than Me financially, minimum benefits are dispensed, everything is expensive here and has been since the 1960's in California since a lot of people like living here. Money mismanagement? BS. I'll be the judge of that and I did not ask for advice from you, nor would I from you. In time My debt will be paid down by Me, if I was incompetent, I would have gone bankrupt, but then you pass judgement like you are GOD almighty. You don't know much about where I live at, I already paid down and did not increase any debt on one card, I would have rather paid cash for an emergency car repair, but then you'd rather the car died and I starved as would My cat, that makes you sound like a Monster, so pipe down if you have nothing good to say. You'd fit in just fine with trump.

As a rough guide my system with 3 GTX1080 is using a 850w PSU quite happily, actual draw is about 675w from the wall. At most your "rebuilt" system with 3 GTX970 will only need about 700-750w from the psu. And, as has been pointed out already, running a PSU at 50% load is a lot less efficient than at 75%. One thing Vic, if the auto shop goes, you will still owe them the $100, and you could end up being chased by debt collectors if they actually go bust, and those guys go for the debt plus their costs which can be more than double the initial debt :-( The ST1500 was bought close to a decade ago under different circumstances, I'd bought it cause it could then handle 4 GTX580 cards, the Maxrevo is the only 1500w unit so far, I will run 3 GTX970's in a PC, but not this one, this PC will either have 3 GTX1070Ti's or 3 GTX1080's all Blowers of course, I'm leaning towards the 1070Ti's, I was aiming for something smaller, but the smallest Maxrevo is 1200 and I can't find hide nor hare of one, so the 1350 and a 2nd 1500 is available for what I can afford currently, I do want enough amps to run 3-4 video cards per psu as these are multi rail psus which have worked fine for Me. Well I did wish them good luck and if I could have paid the bill in full, I would have. I have every intent to pay My bill, to do otherwise would not be Me. The car just has a dirty MAF sensor I read, so no biggie. Today I received two matching black 12" table fans that I'd ordered with My Amazon Xmas money and Bing searches by UPS, I assembled both and one is in each bathroom now, broken fans replaced.

4321) Message boards : Number crunching : My Computer Builds And Other Projects (Message 1973105) Posted 3 Jan 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I think you've taken Chris's comments about that old, very inefficent PSU out of context - he was giving an example of what can "go wrong". Chris's PSU is a "superb" example of how efficiency can vary with load. I'ts a long time since I've seen one that bad being used in a PC. Every PSU has an optimum load for peak efficiency, for many it is around the 80-90% of rated load (Vic posted a table of load vs effciency a few days ago), in many cases if you drop the load below about 50% you hit a "floor", the PSU needs a certain amount of power to run itself, and once you drop below a certain load that begins to dominate the in out requirement. One of the worst current examples of this is the main inverter on my boat, rated at 3k out, at idle it draws about 300w, at full power it draws about 3.3kw, between 250 and 500w out it is drawing just over 1kw. Since most of the time the loads I'm using are around 300w I decided to get a small (350w rated) inverter and run a second set of current resrtricted outlets, this much more modern inverter only draws about 30mw at idle, and just over 355w at full load. (Interestingly, the current version of the big inverter has a much improved input and idle circuit so its idle consumption is about 150mw, and full-load draw of about 3.2kw - I just wish I had the spare cash to do the update.) Hmm, I'm confused - elsewhere (https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83721&postid=1972602) you said you were getting an Enermax 1500w Gold PSU, and now its an Enermax 1350w Gold, which is it? and I hope you get the one you actually bid for not what the seller ships to you. 1-1350w Enermax Maxrevo Gold 112A @ 12v 2-1500w Enermax Maxrevo Gold 125A @ 12v I do have 6 PCs, 1 built, 1 needs an upgrade(cpu, cooler, mem, 1350psu), 4 in various stages of construction from just started to nearly complete, at least I have NO house payment and one of My relatives thought I had one of those recently. Why the 1350? My main PC motherboard an EVGA X79 DARK has only room for 3 video cards, so 1350 seems adequate. The 1350 has 112A at 12v while the old Silverstone ST1500S has only 110A by comparison. I did find out My car has a lean condition(P0171), and now I owe the auto repair garage $100.00 which might not happen if they can't pay their rent, hopefully they can since they are the best in Barstow CA. And yes I recently had the O2 sensors replaced already too. 20yr old cars, just got to love them. I do have a K&N air filter. Causes A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters (K&N, etc.) can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor. Possible Solutions Possible solutions include: In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure https://www.feoa.net/threads/diag-code-p0171.16685/

4325) Message boards : Number crunching : My Computer Builds And Other Projects (Message 1973053) Posted 2 Jan 2019 by zoom3+1=4 Post: This is the full quote of a question there: It really depends on what units you are looking at how long it will take to pay off, some units also barely miss the next level up so they may be a better value. Overall, each higher level is about 2 percentage points more efficient than the one below it at 20/50/100. Here is some quick math for you, lets suppose you have a 500 W power supply, a system that pulls 250 W at full load, and is on 8 hour a day running at full load all the time(unrealistic but makes for much easier math), that puts your PSU at 50% load so its going to be at peak efficiency. Power drawn from the wall: Basic - 312.5 W Bronze - 304.9 W Silver - 294.1 W Gold - 277.8 W Platinum - 271.7 W That means that over basic you save 7.6 W/h with bronze, 18.4 W/h with silver, 34.7 W/h with gold, and 40.8 W/h with platinum. With 8 hours a day at full load that comes out to be 1.82 kWh, 4.42 kWh, 8.33 kWh, and 9.79 kWh saved per month with bronze, silver, gold, and platinum respectively. If you pay 15 cents per kWh that means that over the course of 1 year having a platinum rated PSU over basic saves you about $17.62 so it could take quite a while to pay for the difference with energy savings alone, but in general silver rated units and up are much better quality than basic rated units. In any case I'll be installing a 1350w Enermax Gold rated psu in this PC in the rear and it will put out less heat as the power supply will be more power efficient in the conversion of AC to DC, the Silver rated psu is about 9 years old and I can't fit it in the back and have a fan in the bottom of the case, with the 1350w or a 1500w that is going in 2 other PCs, I could since they are shorter, the heat exhaust out the front makes Me sweat unless I run a floor fan unless like now the outside temp is below 45F, the temp is currently below freezing outside.

And the Enermax psu is 3 years newer and 40mm(1.6") shorter and it has a power switch. I think it's lighter, I have no idea how much either weighs. The Enermax is about 13.63% more efficient going by just the amount of amps which was measured on a calculator, 110A vs 125A. I didn't say I was offended, you did.

Enermax 1500w 180mm x 150mm x 81mm Silverstone 1500w 220mm x 150mm x 81mm Vic if that gold power supply doesn't save you at least $1.00 per month it is a bad business decision. A dollar a month would be 5 years to just break even. The psu is also 3 years newer in tech than what I have and is more powerful, more efficient is good, so is smaller size too @ 220mm vs 180mm, it should also be a bit lighter for My right shoulder that was dislocated in 1978. I bought the Silverstone new years ago from Performance PCs, Enermax is just as highly regarded, in any case it's something that I won and by Jan 2nd will be paid for, I'm obligated under ebay rules as I don't want an unpaid item strike on Me and yes I can afford the psu as I normally make payments there anyway. Someone here I think also said I should not put in gaskets behind the outlet faceplates or weatherstrip My front or rear exterior doors or seal up any cracks, on new housing the gaskets are mandatory, $28.75 for a heating bill is better than over $60.00 like in 2017. Silverstone as a psu maker is ok, however their pci-e cables suck since one has to buy Y adapters now, at one time one cable per card would do, now it's a pci-e Y adapter or 2 pci-e cables. I could have won a 2nd Asus 970 Turbo instead.

And $28.75 is not bad for a gas bill. The January Bill was supposed to be here today, probably Monday, I hope. With the normal hysteresis in the system there will be a Â±2C (Â±3F) variation in temperature within the area, so the idea you notice a difference from 76F to 78F and on to 79F is very unlikely. That's what happened here and that is with a digital thermostat, don't like that? You can't handle the truth(thanks Jack)... And yes My parents smoked, though I never picked up the habit.

This suggests that the problem is likely the habits of people who drink diet soda, rather than the diet soda itself.[1] The Northern Manhattan study suggested that diet soda use may be correlated with disease as it its consumption was an attempt by (already unhealthy) individuals to reduce calories and take control of their health.

Caltrans needs to spend some money here, getting in or out quickly is impossible. You actually want them to blast the mountains and bulldozer them? Even more people will move in then, making it even worse. The real solution is to kick the people out of the area they never should have settled in. After the Camp fire there is a lot of political will to do exactly that and set sensible limits statewide, even when the local government won't. This is in San Bernardino County, no where near the camp fire, most granite in the area is of the decomposing type, the earlier section required no blasting, not for a realignment. Click on the link to see more pics and larger pics. SR-138 East Realignment Project EA 0Q3004, ID: 08000201914 The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) proposes to realign and re-construct the 2-lane paved section with shoulders, 3 wildlife crossings and off highway vehicle crossing. Project Description & Scope The project will realign the roadway, construct outside shoulders and three wildlife crossings on State Route 138 (SR-138) near Hesperia from 1.9 miles east of Interstate 15 to 0.1 mile west of Post Office Road. Need & Purpose of Project The existing highway configuration has many nonstandard horizontal and vertical curves and grades as steep as 15%. The existing pavement is between 21 and 28 feet in width, no paved shoulders and narrow or nonexistent earth shoulders. This project will improve operational efficiency by taking out some of the curves and steep grades, widen existing lanes to 12 feet, and add eight foot shoulders. Estimated Construction Cost $23 Million Construction Schedule Began: Summer 2016. Estimated Completion: Summer 2018.

He has a 65" 4K HDR Samsung TV and I think His living room is a bit smaller than Mine is, it's to the left of the fireplace. I was parked to the far right in the pic. His house in Crestline CA. Oh and He's paying for the lot next door too.

I'm going to see a Nurse Practitioner in the morning about getting an O2 concentrator, since I think I don't have as much lung capacity as I should. I'm having problems breathing cause of a lack of enough O2 absorption(Hiatal Hernia) and elevation above sea level, this started to be noticeable on a hike into the San Gorgonio Wilderness in the San Bernardino Mountains when I was 12 in 1972(Boy Scouts, Troop 71, Long Beach Area Council), I kept falling further and further behind and yes I was at over 6000' up, My nephews house is at 4724'(My nephew after the stumble carried My gift box to My car and walked near Me, He was concerned about Me, His wife is good for Him, He's developing a heart(empathy)), My current house is at 1962', I've had trouble catching My breath in all 3 locations, the person on the phone asked why didn't you go 13 miles to the ER? My reply: By then the episode would be over. At My nephews place I was not going up hill like on the hike, at My place I was not suffering from congestion or going uphill, the idea is that I'm making it up, if I died I'd be faking that too in Her mind and only they are making Me aggravated, normally only a PC can do that irl. All 3 have O2 and altitude in common. I did better at 486' or below, but owning or renting in those areas is cost prohibitive today, unless I had millions in the bank and I don't and won't. 2 pics I took, sorry more when I go back there, if ever do. A pic of Linda My nephews wife, My nephew is now a step dad. The interior of their 3 story home, sorry they're blurry I had flash on too.

No, San Bernardino Mountains @ Crestline. @ Betreger thanks. 5 miles of twisted road and a few hairpin turns at 15-25mph, you'd think that road could do the Hula. It was better in the dark for Me, less to see, like steep drop offs. I'd need one of those stair chair lifts to live there cause of My weight and hiatal hernia. My nephew is expanding His brain as He's learning Spanish, Linda is a good influence on Him, at Thanksgiving She wanted to buy My 6'1" aquarium, He didn't and now I know why, there is no place for it there really, oh it might fit in front of the interior stairs but I had no way to tell. I think I'll look elsewhere for a future residence, like one that doesn't leave Me so breathless, My nephew had to carry a gift box to My car after that stumble, I was breathing pretty hard, My Doctor thinks I don't need O2 too. Adelanto CA would do and the housing can be had for as much or less there, it's not as high elevation wise at 2841'(879' higher than where I live at now at 1962', a difference of almost 31%) and is a bit cooler than here in the summer, but colder than here in the winter cause of the Freezer effect of being near a snow covered mountain range, in the summer the snow is gone of course. I also got to see The Christmas Chronicles at My nephews house on a Samsung 65" 4K TV via Netflix, that was a good movie and for those who have not seen it yet, that's all I will say, beyond go see that movie, you'll love it.

Interior views of My nephews house at 4724' in elevation, I almost couldn't breathe after dinner when I was leaving the house going down the steps outside and stumbled slightly but I didn't fall. Linda My nephews wife is in one pic(black hair), the stairs in the other pic are inside and I never went up those. His house is 3 stories tall, the garage is under the house. Sorry it's blurry. I got two shirts and $25 in an Amazon gift card(redeemed) and some leftovers. A nice place to visit on the 5 miles of twisties I did see some snow on the ground a few inches wide, but that was it, above 5,000' there was plenty of snow and I saw a pickup with snow on its hood on the way there, I didn't need chains, but parts of the road were wet which will become black ice at or near freezing. It took about 2hrs to get there cause of heavy i15 traffic from Hesperia CA to Hwy 138 and about 1.5hrs to get home.

It then rose to about 200 feet above what it is today. Total change was 400 feet. If all the ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 230 feet. It's never been 400 feet higher than where it is today. Almost all of the water on Earth is stored in two places: in the oceans (currently 97 percent of all water) and in glaciers (currently about 2.7 percent). We would need a lot more water to raise it 400 feet. I didn't say it would rise by 400'.

My main tv is a nice 2005 Sony Wega 26 inch HD tv, and I'm perfectly happy with the picture. A much bigger screen would really look kind of overpowering in my tv spot, anyway. The only thing that bothers me about it is the fact since it's standard old-school 4:3 ratio, the picture gets cropped on the sides because I watch in full screen. It's kind of funny to see interviews that way when one person is on the far left and right. ;~) I have a 2016 55" TCL 4K HDR TV on an aftermarket stand to fit on an enclosure that used to house at most a 27" tv, the enclosure sways when an earthquake happens and has kept the tv safe up to 5.0 twice. For Me it's a vision problems, a big screen makes everything sharp and at the time it cost less than $400, people are buying big sets which is what I observed at Walmart last year. And no one is forcing anyone to buy such TV's. I liked what I saw without My glasses, simple as that, if others don't like that, I say "why so serious"? Zillow.com says My home has an estimated value of $82,691.00, right now I don't take that too seriously, I'd have to do about $5,500 in upgrades to maybe get near that much and get a mortgage, which means a very large down payment and a very good credit score, which means I need to pay down about $4,587 of debt without more car repairs like the alternator to which I owe another $240 or so on. I got one card's debt down to $450 from $600 before the alternator emergency appeared, that card is still at $450 as I've not used it.

Otherwise Diet Soda is good, though sometimes I could do without all the CO2 from the soda. I've tried other Diet sodas and found them lacking in taste after part or all of a bottle, so DMD and DKC are ok here, though DKC is not available in the local mountains. I can get money back on the soda bottles, the containers for the powdered drink mix are destined for the trash bag as they aren't worth anything.

I tested the back bathroom GFCI outlet after pressing the reset button with a small night light that has a photocell and the outlet has power, so I have 1 broken fan and 1 dead fan, but everything otherwise works. I was going to do an outlet swap, but that is not needed now. I have a real tester, but It's in a box somewhere. As to water getting in beyond the 2nd door, I know the plate where the breakers poke thru is secured on all 4 corners, one day I'll just have to see about putting in a new 125 Amp Eaton breaker box inside the home and sealing up the outside with some of the board that matches the home's outside that I have on hand and that will fix the rain problem. So asap I'll replace both 12" fans with a pair of 6" clip on fans that can be plugged into an outlet and not buy a 2nd extension cord as it's not needed, the breaker box has no open gap where a breaker would go anymore since I installed an Eaton made clip on plastic blank. My grandmothers fan, I was going to try and repair it, not realizing that without a part from possibly 40 or more years ago, it's beyond repair, so it and another fan that simply stopped working are both headed to the trash in a trash bag.

I didn't tell them I had just changed them; I just said I'd wait on that. In hindsight though, that really irritates me that they would try to sell me something that I clearly did not need. If your local TV station has an investigative team, give them a tip. They love putting hidden cameras all over a car and catching criminals in the act. Also you might want to contact your state bureau of automotive repair and file a complaint. There is a survey for me to fill out; I might start there, although I don't know how far that will go. Yes, they clearly want to increase their revenue, I understand that. They wanted to check my cabin air filter, but I told them I had already replaced that recently, which indeed I had. I will have to replace mine, in a few months, as the right is showing signs, I'm paying for an alternator and a serpentine belt, it'll take Me nearly 6 months I think to get back to this point.

That looks like it said you got a text. Highlighted what I guess I misunderstood. Outlets are not texts. There are two subjects there. You read only the 2nd half Carlos... I flipped the six 15A breakers, no changes, the 2 bathroom outlets are still dead, dead, dead, I was only able to plug in an extension cord from the living room and get power to the bathroom outlet in the small bathroom, the rear bathroom outlet is also out, there was water on the two doors to the breaker box, the doors have dried out, maybe in few days the breaker at fault will work again, I'd call the electrician, but I don't have the money for that right now, not at $150 travel charge plus parts, any that I did have was spent just before the rain came, I spent $2.48 on some BR blanks to seal up the hole in the panel where a blank would be at, these two outlets have always been a problem, but then so was scoring from a CH breaker in a BE/Eaton panel. Maybe in a 18-24 months I can get this fixed for good. The panel faces East the direction the rain came from. Only the four 20A breakers(labeled Kitchen) and the 50A breaker(the Gas Furnace) are not suspect.

I can only hazard a guess as to why that is the case. I am under the impression that the geology of Florida has a lot of marshes on top of it, and maybe that means the radon gas escapes before getting into building foundations? There are many reasons. Low radon in our soil and no basements (just concrete slabs) under homes where Radon can accumulate are a couple of reasons. But multi-story apartments and businesses have a greater risk. Add that one home in past testing can have low levels and the neighbor elevated. I guess the radon gremlins ate my test in the mail because I haven't received any results yet. I called and they're going to send me a free replacement kit. Radon? Here's a map of Radon for California, My crawlspace is ventilated pretty well, good luck on the retest. I'm in zone 2.

All My other electrical outlets are working just fine, even the two I had installed back around 2008, I'll have to see if I need to install an extension cord or not on Friday, the one I have in mind can power a refrigerator with no problems and is laying here unused for the moment, it's a 25 foot 14 gauge cord and is rated at 15A @n 120v ac.

Just be a good capitalist and donâ€™t give them your money. Only buy items sold by Newegg directly. This applies to Amazon as well. I donâ€™t have a problem buying used. So I open myself up to eBay and reddit private sales also, I almost exclusively buy EVGA cards though, which have transferable warranties and good quality control. Last year I bought a used Asus 970 Turbo, sure it has no warranty, but it does run, I bought a X79 Classified motherboard at one time and it did fail, Evga replaced the motherboard with an X79 Dark, it has run ever since without fail, ebay had My back, at least I did not buy from a seller selling a picture of something, I've been there and ebay had My back. Amazon well I've bought from there too and I've had a very good experience there too, though Amazon is harder to reach than ebay. I've also bought from specialty places that cater to over clockers, My Silverstone ST1500 1500w Silver rated psu came from one such place and it has never failed, all 225mm of the psu, though a pci-e cable did and was replaced under warranty, yep I have a Nuclear power plant type psu, it can handle 4 GTX580 cards which were power hungry, so I'm not worried.

Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post.) ----------- 8.

True, that is a great shame, but if the code is available then someone could try and find a solution. What language is used for this, C++ or Assembly or what? From when I was younger and using an 8bit computer, people used a few languages on their computers, though the fastest was always machine language with assembler coming in at 2nd place, both made compact fact acting code.

I switched to Win10 just to troubleshoot. I will say that I was not getting good performance with linux either, which is what prompted the switch. Perhaps I need some special config when running under linux? or is it supposed to work 'out of the box'? The linux special app has an autoconfig who works very well. Try it first. You will see the difference. Especially on your Titan V. it's like you turn on the afterburners. Just follow the instructions posted on the previous msg and not forget with this apps you must run only 1 WU at a time on each GPU. A Titan V could crunch a BLC WU in just 30-35 secs compare that with you actual 1100 secs and you will feel the dark side of the real power of your GPU. Wow, that's fast, if I had a Titan V or maybe two Titan Xp's(Galactic Empire or Jedi Order) that would make going to Mint Linux worthwhile on one of the X79 PCs that I'm slowly building.

No new gasket was used between the disposal and the waste pipe, seems not top be needed. UPS also dropped off a box of goodies for Grace, 72 cans of canned cat food and a box of 18 waste bins/lids for Her automated litter box. Something to give Thanks for and Grace is a happy Putty Tat once again since I fed Her, She likes Her soft food. The new window is keeping most insects out since small ones(a gnat?) are now finding their way in thru the old swamp cooler instead of the window which I'd like to get rid of asap, the cooler not the window, now I need asap to work on a small dip in the front door weatherstripping, but to do that I need to find the silicon caulk, caulking gun, and painters tape, I know where the tape is at least. In January or asap I'll be getting a 2nd window which will be for the rear bathroom, the gas furnace stays off until the temp outside is about 48F or so now, that should I hope cut My natural gas bill in a month or two, hopefully the bill will have both the CARE rate on the bill as well as the Medical Baseline rate for electricity which SCE says I'm eligible for and that I am allowed to have both at the same time, I told the manager this, seems the last billing company said no to having both on the rent bill, hopefully that practice will not continue, or the CPUC will get a formal complaint in writing and yes the park is subject to discipline by the CPUC, whether they like it or not. I did some more work on a PC and boxing some clutter around another PC, sure it wasn't much, but it was something, yeah I installed two DVD drives for the moment, I need to find out which one is better as both are old and paid for. I've got a IDE pci-e card and a Vantec IDE to sata interface that I get to try out with one or the other DVD drives, I'm hoping the Vantec will work, otherwise I'd have to find the IDE card, at least the cables are not in doubt. This is the 1650v2 PC, it's the 1st to near completion, I still need to get 3 140mm fans for this case and 3 for the other case. I found there are some HPTX cases about, an Xigmatek Enigma Black surfaced as did some Rosewill B2 Stealth cases, I like the B2 over the Enigma, but I could not find any cube cases that support HPTX which was never a standard, there are some EVGA SR2 motherboards with ram and cpus floating about, then there is the Thermaltake X9 which goes to EATX, Tt does make the W200 but that only goes as far as XL-ATX. HPTX(13.6 Ã— 15 in (345 Ã— 381 mm)) was as far as I can tell is an EVGA invention and as of 2011 seems to be the next to last of ATX variants, so far at least. I'd rather replace the socket which would cost about $70 right now, at least before I were to ship the motherboard.

I'll get these done asap. If that's what you want to do motherboard-wise, get an HP Z800 motherboard for your 2 X5675s. It works very nicely for SETI. And can be had for under $200, sometimes well under. Caveats: 1) BUT it has proprietary connectors for the power supply, so also get a (~$10) power supply adapter for it, so you can use a standard PSU. you can find the MB on eBay, and the adapters, too. 2) Make sure you have the 003 version of the MB, which will use the X56nn chips. The earlier versions could only do dual X55nns. See this link: http://andybrown.me.uk/2014/11/01/z800/ I did it, and it was a) cheap, and b) a lot of fun, actually. Supermicro made an ATX motherboard that does what the HP Z800 does, the motherboard is the X8DAL-i, this motherboard can handle 5500/5600 cpu's and has a Bios update from 2018 for the Spectre vulnerability. Oh and the memory I could find is priced from about $13 and goes up in price from there. The only fly in this ointment is the there are 3 pci-e slots, a x16(2.0), a x4(2.0), and a second x4(unknown version, Supermicro didn't say) which would be covered by a 2nd video card. This is the B or Bulk version, this is similar to the v2.0, minus 2 heatsinks, with only the heatsink/fan this is v2.0 of X8DAL-i motherboard and a change in where some slots are at. I have not seen the Bulk version beyond the pictures, though the motherboard might show up on ebay one day. Some have cpus, some have cpus and heatsinks. The non B version. v1.01 v2.0

I have limited floor space, so what I'm doing works for Me and I don't yet have the required money to do that, maybe in a few months I could, but by then those 8 cases and 2 motherboards will be long gone. Another HAF XB case will be $99 at the very least, the the XB won't support bigger than EATX officially nothing beyond ATX, it's just that EATX fits. And I don't want to go off topic as both posts would likely end up in My thread. So I'm ending it here.

I do have 20 electrical outlets to replace which when I bought My home no one knew one would catch fire if overloaded, the electrician I hired to replace 3 outlets also replaced the breakers, but not the main breaker since that was judged to be ok by Him. So, let me get this straight.............. You throw away a PC given to you as a gift because it's not good enough for you. And you are replacing AC outlets because they will 'catch fire if overloaded'. Does that not tell you that the simple solution is not to overload them?? And what would possess you to buy a mobo that you know already needs repair? Of the CPU socket, of all things. Never in my wildest dreams. Meowsigh, Victor. Just meowsigh. The PC had pci-e 1.0a slots and the psu had to be a 300w HP approved psu, I tried a GTX 295 card in the PC, the card barely worked, I would have kept the PC if the PCI-E slot was 2.0 compatible, the built in video was considered obsolete and no new drivers were being made, plus only air cooling of the AMD CPU was possible, the biggest fan hole was for one 80mm fan and that was it. They are a fire hazard, I had a AA battery charger, My Monitor for the PC, two small speakers, a flatbed scanner, and a printer all on one circuit, that was all it took to do this: Money, It would cost less to buy used in need of repair for $100, repair for $60-$90, than buy at $450. $160-$190 is less than $450.

Yet you seem to have amassed quite a collection of second-hand parts some of which need repairing. You don't mention any cases or hard drives etc to go with them. I wonder with hindsight whether it might have been more cost effective to have bought a ready made pc ? Only 2 need repairs, a previous motherboard wrecked part of the 24 pin connector on the psu, the motherboard yeah I bought it that way since it's an inexpensive repair, everything else works. As to cases I'm only needing to buy one case, a Cooler Master HAF XB like the one at the top left. I have 5 PC cases, 3 of which are out of frame. I had inherited a ready made PC from a relative, an HP, the PC was configured to be expandable and yet not by HP, no thanks, I recycled that at a recycler in Barstow for $0.25.

But if you try to be "clever" Linux will bite hard. I looked that up, something called akmod or dkms can be done instead(see the Nvidia link). I would also need to enable in the bios a reboot from power failure, which I should have done on this PC, I also downloaded rufus to make a bootable usb stick to be made and used with Linux or yep Windows if one has an iso, I'm pretty sure I could create a windows iso file and I have downloaded a Ubuntu 18.04 iso, seems Nvidia has a little Secret, they use a Windows Nvidia driver with what is called a shim to get the driver to work with Linux. Plus I wish that I could do a shutdown or reboot of a Linux PC without resorting to the CLI(Command Line Interface) I used an Amiga at one time so yeah I'm semi aware of the CLI, of course the Amiga could be shutdown by flipping the power off since all Amigas except some early models have bootstrap ROMs, I had an Amiga when Minix 1.5 came out though I ignored Minix 68K then.

Thanks, Vic, no hard feelings. I NEVER thought I'd be able to do this on one low end card, (GTX-1050 2GB GPU), in addition to the part time crunching on Farragut on an Integrated Intel HD-630 GPU. Honestly, though, MOST of this past week's climb has been the GTX-1050 due to TBar's CUDA90 App! Otherwise, I'd still be under 5K RAC!!! TBar's App is letting the GTX-1050 do approx. 2.5 Times the work that it was doing before on his OpenCL App. I wish that Lunatics Installer could take advantage of this to give Windows Users a boost in performance too. How well versed are you with Linux, (any flavor), 'cause TBar's Linux App can have you pass me back up pretty quick! I believe you said you have a GTX-970, right? That card SHOULD definitely outperform me on the Linux CUDA90 App. (I can install Linux and trim and clean some things up - but I do NOT fully understand the ins and outs of it to make it useful for me. I know I couldn't get TBar's Linux CUDA90 App running on Prometheus.) If you are better at Linux than me, I highly recommend switching over to some Ubuntu flavor, (which does install easily), and think about the Linux CUDA90 App. I wish you the best, Vic. This really is all in good fun and company. TL I had installed Linux once as an experiment, but that was all, I've operated more than a few OSes since 1980, compiling a kernel I've not ever done which from what I read is needed to update a video driver, the Amiga OS was as close to Linux that I've operated for more than a few days, but even then I did not need to do any compiling, the Amiga has parts of the OS in ROM, it's too bad cuda 90 or 91 by now can't be done in Windows 7 like it can on the Mac or in Linux. And no worries TL, you pass Me it's not a big deal, I live in a home that's a fixer, more electrical work needs to be done here and a few other things done like 2 windows and 2 a/c units(6000btu and a 8000btu, one each), at best when the current PCs are done and fully upgraded, then it'll be a Quad, 2 Hexes and 3 GTX 970 cards instead of what is currently online, My thread says more as I just updated it today, I'll also need 2 more SSD's, a 256GB and a 512GB. WOW, I've lost track of time!!! It's actually been 13 Days including today that I've been on CUDA90. (Started on Nov 6. I tested out a couple Units in the afternoon just to make sure I had installed the App right; then reset my Crunching Time Window back to 6 PM - 9 AM Pacific Time.) With Lunatics' 0.45 Beta 6 on your machines, and with 3 GTX-970s you'll probably hit 30-40K RAC in no time. As to Linux, from what I've been reading in Number Crunching, the Ubuntu Flavors make things "easier" to get going. You do need to install 39x.xx or 41x.xx Drivers from NVIDIA. (This is part of what is beyond my expertise in Linux.) THEN, install TBar's Linux CUDA90 App, again beyond my expertise, and you'll be ROCKIN'!!! The "drawback" to Linux is IF you have games... NO games are Native to Linux. When I did try Ubuntu, I tried Wine and spent HOURS trying to get StarCraft/BroodWar to run and COULDN'T! So, if you have games, you'll need one System dedicated to Windows for that; OR, create a Dual Boot Linux/Windows System. Even on MacOS, I needed to use BootCamp on the Mac Pro 5,1 and on a tertiary drive installed Win 7 Pro SP-1 x64. The 5,1 has three Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSDs; one for the Main OS which is High Sierra 10.13.6 Security Update 2018-002, the second is Sierra 10.12.0 which has ADOBE CS6 Suite and MS Office for Mac, the third is Win 7. In the fourth and final Drive Bay I've installed a WD Black 2TB SATA Drive for MacOS Time Machine backups. On the High Sierra Drive, I have BOINC, LibreOffice, and Battle.net App Launcher. Via Battle.net App I have StarCraft:Remastered, StarCraft II, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. Two games that Blizzard has that are NOT MacOS compatible are Overwatch and Destiny 2:Forsaken. Now with BootCamp giving me Boot Access to Win 7 on the Mac, I CAN install Overwatch and Destiny 2:Forsaken. I also use the Mac to Sync my iPhone 5S for direct computer backups of the phone, and iTunes for my CD Collection that I'm moving over to Sync to the built-in iPod functions of the iPhone. Anyway, if you can manage to work with Linux on a daily basis, (which I just can't - for games and lack of Command Line knowledge), you could KICK BUTT with the Linux CUDA90 App. Since you have access to more Systems than I, you could take the System you care least about to experiment with and see about getting Ubuntu, the NVIDIA Drivers, BOINC, and then TBar's CUDA90 App, and see how it runs for awhile. Unfortunately for me, Linux frustrates me too much. So, I'm limited to Windows and MacOS... AND, with the Win 10 telemetry and recent bug issues - I've eliminated Win 10 from my personal life. Unfortunately, my dad HAS to make use of it so I'm forced to maintain his Laptop and Desktop Systems on Win 10 Pro x64. TL I'm down to 1 game in Windows, Civilization and I've played it to death. As to systems 2 are complete, 1 is nearly and 3 are in various stages of construction, plus I have the house to work on a bit(3 new windows, 1 will be here on Tuesday or Wednesday, 2019 for the 2nd and 2020 for the 3rd, electrical, a/c), debt to eliminate, the car for now is ok, though the car will need new bushings before they vanish from being available at $193 asap. Heck if I want games I have 2 on the XBOX One X which also plays Blu Ray discs too. And I have Windows 7 Pro x64 Discs out the wazoo, so I'm good on the OS front, If I have to go the Linux route I can, I've just never compiled anything in My life, I cut My eyeteeth on Atari Basic back in the 80's and 90's, but that's how I learned to type. Plus more than a few naps here and there, I did a bit of work yesterday which made Me turn in at 11:30pm last night and then still need a nap after 7hrs sleep. It's android central here.

The new windows should help that, 1st in the Kitchen before Thanksgiving and thanks to Liheap in early 2019 a 2nd one in the back bathroom, the window back there should cost a bit more than $357 even while being a Frosted Single Hung Custom Sized Vinyl Window Insert and the dimensions are identical to this window which will also keep the bugs out and reduce My a/c and heating costs, then it's on to 2020 for the last window which might cost a bit more than $400 or maybe a bit more than the bathroom window, thankfully the small bathroom has a small window which if replaced would not be operable anymore I was told. What do I still need to do here in or on My home? 1. Replace 20 electrical outlets that are fire hazards with 20 new outlets that I have 2. Add four 20 circuits, 1 in each bedroom and 2 in the living room w/4 outlets and breakers that I have 3. Fix the rear bedroom floor in one spot 4. Replace the worn flooring in the kitchen and both bathrooms 5. Replace the sink and countertops in the bathrooms 6. Replace both toilets and wax rings with elongated toilets and new wax rings 7. Replace 2 interior doors 8. Replace some of the door knobs here so they all match 9. Remove the useless swamp cooler and repair the wall 10. Replace the hollow core and uninsulated rear door 11. Paint the outside of My home 12. Snowcoat the metal roof Then My home will not be a fixer anymore. To do this I'll need to farm this out and pay down all My debt first which I've already started on as My credit score went up some already.

It takes care of temp files and such by itself. I've seen where Win 7 drives were maxed out because of temp files building up and users not deleting them. Oh well... ;) It seems like Micro$oft is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to software engineers and the like. I always knew that Micro$oft was more interested in how much money they can extort from Window$ users, rather than putting out a "quality product". ;) Tag line changed...

Vic, 55.22Â¢/gal is California's bite, add 18.4Â¢ for Federal on top . https://taxfoundation.org/state-gas-tax-rates-july-2018/ There are a lot of taxes on gas in California, there is the Underground Storage Tax, the excise tax, the carbon taxes, the sales tax ... mostly designed to hide from the consumer.

Source watch says https://taxfoundation.org/ is a think tank dating from 1937 and is an old right wing think tank linked to ALEC. Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council The Tax Foundation's President, Scott A. Hodge, participated in the 2011 American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) Annual Meeting, speaking on the "Corporate Taxes and International Competitiveness Panel" in front of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force, and the Foundation's Vice President of Legal and State Projects, Joe Henchman, introduced the "Resolution Urging Congress to Cut the Federal Corporate Tax Rate" model policy at the same meeting.[3] About ALEC ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve â€œmodelâ€ bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our PRWatch.org site. Funding The Tax Foundation is funded by private donations from members, corporate donations, and donations from charitable foundation such as the Koch Foundation, Earhart Foundation, etc. Politifact says $0.3813 a gallon in CA.

Being adopted, I have 0 knowledge of either side. I'm making some contacts through both Ancestry and 23andMe. Just got a HUGE Hit tonight through Ancestry. My 1st Cousin, (twice removed), has given me history on my birth mom's side of the family. She is referring me to another cousin who has done EXTENSIVE Ancestry Research on this side of the family, AND they have direct contact with my Maternal Grandfather! :-) :-D I'm hoping to make contact with this side of the family off Ancestry, and have phone conversations, (to start with), and see where things go from there. To be honest my parents found a potential match on Linked-In to a woman who's name and age are "right" to be my birth mother. I did send this woman a request to be added to her contacts, and a LOOOONG and Detailed Initial Contact Message. It's been about four days, and NO response from her. IF this is her, she may NOT want contact with me. My parents state that she was about 13 when I was born. Much too young to be having children. So, with that said, she may NOT want contact, because she may NOT want to be reminded of the issue. I can only hope that someday she changes her mind. All I want is to get to know her, IF possible. TL Too young today, but back in neolithic times, well We are talking human biology here, things were different then I'd read most humans didn't live to see 30 years of age, back then We were prey, now We have cats as pets and live at least twice as long as 30. I hope you have good luck on finding out more.

This is not something I can do, even if I had the equipment, I still could not do this, since it might in some cases require soldering, so it does not fall under My projects in My thread. People are maintaining and expanding them, like with a 65816 cpu at 20MHz, 1MB of memory and a built in clock, being able to store Atari/Sparta DOS and programs on SD cards, a VBXE video card(Video Board XE), sorry if this is techy, but this is where I started at 38 years ago. All Atari 8bit 6502/65C02 based computers ran at 1.79MHz in the US. Sure they can't crunch if their life depended on it, but where do you think Intel got the idea for a cpu or ram(memory) on a card? Yep from the Atari 400/800 computers which also invented the computer chipset, a computer from 1979... The Atari 800 with 48K ram and a 10K OS(Operating System in 2 rom chips) why so little ram? 6502/65C02 cpus could only see 64K of ram or rom, the 65816 can address a lot more, like 16MB of ram. ram is random access memory, rom is read only memory. 16K ram module for a 400 or an 800 computer. Cpu board with chipset, 6502, Antic, and CTIA/GTIA chips for a 400 or an 800 computer. Note: All Atari 8 bit Computers are not only old, but a bit rare these days, I had one that I put together that I wish I hadn't sold, only a handful were ever made before the Tramiels shutdown production, one sold for about $5,000.00 for a 1400XL computer recently.

No issues with that version. Sigh, the 360 is radiator is 15.5" long according to the NewEgg spec page. The 280 radiator is 12.3 " long. I don't think the length includes the fittings coming out of one end of either one My current case is 14.5" in that location. :( This is a perfect example of a preceding decision constricting the choices of the next decision. I had an incorrectly sized water cooler that we sized the chassis/case for before ordering the 280. If I could do it over again I would get another case like the one my Intel is running in. If the next copy of the 280 craps out again very soon I probably will :( The joys of DIY :) Tom I can technically run a 120 to a 480, though in an aio the biggest I could run is a 360, there is a 420 aio, but My last 240 from that manufacturer leaked cause the maker did not tighten the base screws tight enough, My case has no mounting holes for a 140-420 radiator, let alone a 280, I know the case could handle 140-420 spec equipment in theory, but that would require accurate drilling, drilling I can't do, besides I have a 360, several in fact. What I would like to do is mount a 360(cpu) and a 120(gpu) aio in the top of My case, probably nearly impossible to do.

Tullio I should be very healthy, then. Well, at very least it's good for your mood:) Chocolate contains tryptophan, a chemical in the brain that is used to produce the neurotransmitter, serotonin. High levels of serotonin stimulate the secretion of endorphins, and produce feelings of elation. Serotonin is found in the antidepressant Prozac, and the designer drug â€œecstasyâ€ produces its effects by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Soâ€¦ antidepressants, illegal drugs, or a Hersheyâ€™s bar. You pick. I have read that bananas has the same effect. In a few weeks people in North America who eat turkey will be getting a dosage of tryptophan, to that end I got a flu shot like I do every year, I take 1000mcg(1mg) of Vitamin B-12 everyday which helps with brain functioning.

Plus I need to replace 2 windows and get a 12,000 BTU a/c unit, I live in a desert. Now I just need the money, at least I have the parts. So far this home has had 5 outlets, 3 light switches, and all but the main breaker replaced. I had one outlet burn itself and 2 wires up causing a whole circuit to go dead, got that fixed. Beware the outlets with no screws on the sides, the 20 I have to replace are like that and are exactly like the one that burned up.

I've been offered a loan of $5,000 which would in theory pay off a lot of My debt and save Me about $80 a month over 36 months at $185.79, the rest would take about 14 months or maybe 15 months to pay off at the same time, I'd to go for this loan, but the last time I was pre-approved I was turned down. My debt is now down to $6,551.00, I know not a big improvement, but every little bit helps. $41 less is still less.

The law says algorithms must never decide what to do based on the age, gender or health of the passengers or pedestrians. But if any 'choice' available will possibly result in death and in the same number, what will be programmed into the system? IE: Two mothers holding their child vs. four elderly people crossing the street at the same time. You have to turn right or left to avoid a head on collision with an out of control 18 wheeler and the result will be the death of four persons. A human having to make that split second draconian decision or impulse action will... What do you believe your decision or impulse would be? If you have time to realize one is mothers with babies and the other is elderly people, you had time to avoid it. Sorry, you are the programmer. There are only three alternatives. #1 -The computer brakes the vehicle and the out of control 18 wheeler runs over the vehicle, probably killing those inside. Let's make it a person in the drivers seat, their spouse as the front passenger and two children in the backseat. A total of 4 persons. The only escape is to attempt to swerve around the 18 wheeler. #2 - A right swerve would have the vehicle running over 4 elderly persons. #3 - A left swerve would have the vehicle running over two mothers, each one holding a child. A total of 4 persons. Under Germany's Introduced Law. How would the programmer comply with it? If you are driving a non computer driven vehicle. Which option would you choose? It is a no win scenario, going right or left is useless as is straight ahead most likely. But going straight and braking will give the best chance for survival to those ahead, since those in a car have some protection, those walking would be 100% dead.

I'm going to play with my system, and probably power limit the 1080tis to 200W each, then OC them to keep core speeds up to normal. If the behavior is the same in linux as it is in windows, this should force the core voltage to lower. basically getting the same performance with less power draw. (it works for mining at least). power draw on SETI seems to build as the WU progresses, in most of my cases i only see it exceed 200W on the last 25% half of the WU processing or so. I've looked at EVGA, while I do own a couple of EVGA motherboards, the video cards I like are all blowers, I did manage to find 1 EVGA 1080Ti blower card for $599+shipping, but that's it, MSI or Zotac are a bit more numerous($565-$600), Asus($540 min) and Gigabyte($550 min) are available in the 1080Ti as blowers, the 1080Ti's with 2 or 3 fans I ignore since I don't like dumping heat back into the case to heat up the cpu with. YMMV with prices, since they change at will.

An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most American habitat types. It is the biggest cat in North America,[4] and the second-heaviest cat in the New World after the jaguar. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although daytime sightings do occur.[5][6][7][8] The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae,[1][9][10] of which only the jaguar is native to the Americas. The cougar is an ambush predator that pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources are ungulates, particularly deer. It also hunts species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and survives at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While large, it is not always the apex predator in its range, yielding to the jaguar, gray wolf, American black bear, and grizzly bear. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people. Fatal attacks on humans are rare, but have recently been increasing in North America as more people enter cougar territories.

Bing says Raccoons are liked too, I misspelled cougars and got an entry that I would have missed had I not done so. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most American habitat types. It is the biggest cat in North America,[4] and the second-heaviest cat in the New World after the jaguar. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the cougar is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although daytime sightings do occur.[5][6][7][8] The cougar is more closely related to smaller felines, including the domestic cat (subfamily Felinae), than to any species of subfamily Pantherinae,[1][9][10] of which only the jaguar is native to the Americas. The cougar is an ambush predator that pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources are ungulates, particularly deer. It also hunts species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and survives at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While large, it is not always the apex predator in its range, yielding to the jaguar, gray wolf, American black bear, and grizzly bear. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people. Fatal attacks on humans are rare, but have recently been increasing in North America as more people enter cougar territories.

I'm looking into if I can put My home on a lot nearby and to see what besides a rusty garden shed is on the land, county maps say the lot is 150 feet by 2100 feet or 7.4 acres all for $56,500. Zoning is Rural Living, 1 structure per 2.5 acres, there is what looks like an office or a guest building(240sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) and maybe a garage in addition to the shed, plus water, electricity, landline, and cable are all there, though natural gas might not be there, but is nearby since the park is just across the fwy from the property in question and the property might have a septic system, My place is wide enough @ 14 feet, but I would have to provide pics of the properties on either side and pay a $173 county determination fee to determine if My place is compatible since My home is more than 10yrs old, My home is at present 31 years old. The 15 freeway is to the north and south of Yermo Rd is the Marine Base aka: The Yermo Annex. The neighboring Water Tower has since fallen down and in the other direction is an empty lot and then an apparently boarded up old Restaurant.

I think the mix of tasks has changed since Ian&SteveC's box also crunched to a higher RAC. Yesterday, my graph showed a "flat" segment for the first time. So I dropped 1 core offline. Today, that line segment resumed the previous trajectory, but the next line segment is slightly more horizontal. If the "spot check" that I was pointed to hold up, I "oughta" peak near 108,000 RAC. Then I can try 100% CPU, 90% CPU. I have two other things I can try with the MB settings. I ran across a video on my MB on how to overclock the MB. My last experiment with it didn't show any visible changes. And the standard settings for this MB have a TDP limit that is below what the cpu's are supposed to be able to run at. I have what look like some higher power settings that run for temporary boost settings that I can play with. Right now, it looks like the "turbo" that is being reported in the CPU tasks I am running are the same as Ian&SteveC's system. Grumble. His cpu's are 2.9GHz and mine are 3.0GHz's but so far we are both turbo boosting at about the same speed;) :) Tom :) Nice PC that 2690 is in, is that a dual or single cpu motherboard? I have several E5-1650 v2 cpus, one of which is under construction, another is awaiting some minor parts for an upgrade for My current PC w/a 4820K, and a 3rd is a ways off. I also have two X5675 LGA1366 95w Hex-core cpus and an X3480 Quad.

For the moment except for the gas furnace repairs, the other repairs I had done are enough, those were 3 electrical outlets and almost all but 1 breaker and some plumbing issues that were fixed. If I were to get a 1080 card, it would be an MSI Aero 1080 at 180w, since most of My cases favor that type of card and that is what I have on Amazon. One of those outlets burned some wires and I'm lucky that is all that happened, since the outlet was also burned beyond use. This prompted Me to put repairs on a higher priority, so long as I don't put any heavy loads on the existing old outlets that have no side screws, My home won't burn down, I'm offered home owners insurance by My auto insurance company all the time, but since I own a manufactured home, they won't cover Me. I have 18-20 of these to get replaced, to do it Myself I'd need some kneepads if they'll fit Me or maybe $150-$225 for an electrician to the job and the amount is the trip charge, the local guys are stupid and won't work on a manufactured home, the one I hired at one point will work on electrical problems and will drive almost anywhere to do that and He knows His stuff.

Tullio Further to Jord's reply ... Remember that after M$ sends updates, you may need to check that it hasn't replaced your NVidia drivers with the ones that lack OpenCL support. To be safest, only use drivers you have downloaded direct from the NVidia site, and you may wish to tell Win10 not to let M$ update manufacturer drivers.

I found the setting in group policy editor. AND!!! Some time ago I enabled it so that it will NOT download and install device drivers. AND!!! Yet I got a crappy POS video driver from Micro$oft a few weeks ago. What they removed was the setting in settings to disable that. So that is why they tell us we cannot do a class action suit against them. They can pull this crap and get away with it. :( Have a great day! :) Siran From what I read on the HardOCP, someone had a downloaded upgrade erase their files from the user folder and even if they reverted to the previous version, all 220GB of the files are all gone. Even from My brief history with Linux, No OS besides 10 would do that as an upgrade, as a clean install yes, but as an upgrade that is crazy.

Not much. The last time I lifted a heavy PC case with 5 water blocks inside, My right shoulder would not stop hurting for a week. And right now even if I wanted to go to something like a newer cpu platform, is something for another day, I have a gas furnace to get repaired, so right now this is just talk. If I had the money right now and I almost do, I could buy the motherboard, but then the furnace repairs would be off until December maybe and temps at night are already cool enough so that I can turn off the window air conditioner overnight, the temp last night when I went to bed was 66F. If temps hold to what is going on right now, I should be able to wait until November to get the gas furnace worked on and I will have more money then. Heck right now even if I wanted to, until more electrical repairs to My home are done, one PC is plenty since I have only four complete circuits that are safe to use and of those four only two are near enough to be useful, the other two are bathrooms that are about 30 feet away in either direction, the rest have been partly fixed with some new outlets and all new circuit breakers and as such are safe to use for anything other than heavy use. Having one 115v outlet burn up is not good and I have another 18-20 just like that one that Fleetwood installed when the company made this place in 1987, nope they will not do anything as they went bankrupt in 2009, I had asked about something once after 2009, they said they could not help. I did ask someone for some help moving My PC since the PC is heavy, as the PC is almost as heavy as the last one, probably nothing will come of that since I do not know if He has the time or not, which is why I have not moved the PC to the new desk, I have moved almost all the light stuff. If I did not have a bad right shoulder joint, lifting any PC case around here would be easier. Yeah some people do not like contradictions, sometimes if there is no alternative one has to do what is necessary and painful, and some do like seeing people suffer.

I do have some news, grain of salt here, I did find some possible all in one drivers that said Threadripper and Windows 7 on the Asrock website that also mentioned they are for both, though the x399 chipset was not mentioned by name, this was under the X370 section, MSI has good boards too. The closest equivalent to Threadripper is 2 E5-2687W v2 cpus on a dual 2011/X79 cpu motherboard, of course the pickings are slim there, like a Supermicro(3-pci-e 3.0 x16) and some Chinese motherboard(2-pci-e 3.0 x16), a Huanan Huananshi X79 Dual cpu motherboard that only supports dual channel mode(48GB max is stated), which is what My current X79 does, though I'd have to see if any of the ram I have now is compatible or not, the cpu compatibility I'm not worried about that. If not, it would mean server ram in the 1866 range which does exist. For either $183 or $216 and $215.99. But not right now, unless I get creative and get a 1050w psu attached 24pin main cable repaired. That motherboard would get Me the equal of a Threadripper 16core/32thread motherboard using 2-E5-2687W v2 cpus. Asrock X399 TAICHI

Brake cites examples of research papers which argue that audible seat belt reminders have the "proven potential" to increase the seat belt wearing rate. A 2006 European Transport Safety Council report found front seat reminders can be provided at minimal cost because the same sensors are used in airbag systems - but rear-seat systems are more costly. However, regulations requiring car manufacturers to put seatbelt reminder systems in all front and rear seats on new vehicles are set to come in force from September 2019. Really?! You don't have them over there?! They have been required here since, well, before I was old enough to get a learners permit. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/06/29/2010-15773/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-occupant-crash-protection Early driver seat belt warning systems and seat belt interlocks date back to the 1970s, when seat belt use was only 12 to 15 percent.[5] In 1971, NHTSA sought to increase seat belt use by adopting occupant protection options for vehicles manufactured after 1972 that required the use of a SBRS for the front outboard seating positions (36 FR 4600).[6] Then in 1972, NHTSA adopted an occupant protection option for passenger cars manufactured between August 15, 1973 and August 15, 1975, that required an interlock system which would prevent a vehicle from starting if any of the front seat belts were not fastened (37 FR 3911).[7] is this like not having fire sprinklers in buildings? My car has two lights on the dash that lights up in red and in yellow if the belts are not used, they go out when the belts are used.

Not likely. Well that sucks! Did you contact Amazon? Once when I lived in Germany I bought some rice from a German store. I left it in its plastic bag in my pantry for a while. One day I found thousands of little brown bugs crawling in and around my pantry. I traced them to that bag of rice. I never bought German rice again. Apparently, in America, we clean our rice (or something like that) so we don't end up with bugs if we don't eat the rice right away. And I thought about that, too - eating the rice right away. If I had, I'd have ingested the little eggs that must have been in the rice. ðŸ¤¢ðŸ¤® Back then? No, I taped everything up, thought I'd got all the holes, wrong, and it wasn't much lost at first, some was in the box too. I didn't lose much money, so what can I say. I cleaned everything out and found more, the only places that had no bugs were in steel cans or in resealable plastic bags, like Krusteaz pancakes will use at some retailers, I had 2 bags like below, neither had any insects or signs of insects. Usually one would have to ship back the packages, so it was not worth it to Me. Like this one:

Shipping is $2.00 each, no tax is charged and the ones for $24.95 are gift compatible which I looked at out of curiosity. They are small, black and winged, sorry no pics and they aren't flies, just pests, with no oatmeal they can get at, there will be no more of them soon, one way or another, the 7 existing containers are suspect, I have 3 that were not opened, the 7 are going in a trash bag, I do need to take out some trash soon so this just speeds that up some.

I have a decent amount of time, its just so many interruptions get in My way and when I'm done, I'm exhausted, from the heat and tasks I set out to do, I took the trash out and scraped an old obsolete PC, so obsolete that the pci-e slot was 1.0a, I tried putting a pci-e 2.0 video card in that 1.0a slot once, the video was choppy and not exactly usable. I also got the car washed and then the last parts installed for the rear drum brakes, which now don't make noises when I backup or go forward, the brakes work as intended again. I'm going to try on Friedday and move an igloo chest and waste basket so that I can move the two shelving units out from near the wall since then I can walk behind them to unhook the printer cable and move the paper and printer to their new location as a unit, then move the shelving, igloo and basket back until I'm ready for the next step.

I'm currently waiting for some car parts to arrive from O'Reilly, they're used by Lube Express, just to get some parts for the right rear brake and that comes with unneeded springs, at least for My car the springs aren't needed at least as mine are good to go.

A stone trapped in around a rear spindle - highly unlikely. More likely is that one of the springs that retain the rear brake shoes has become detached or has broken, they can be really difficult to get to sit down properly and you have just had some work done on the rear suspension, which would involve taking the rear brakes to bits. It was a clip for the rear brakes dust shield, a U shaped part. I just had the rear drum brakes worked on, the area between the shield and spindle were not checked, everything down there looked ship shape or tight. Today I got the oil changed, the k&n air filter and map sensor cleaned, checked the TPS sensor which is performing correctly, on Thursday I have to go back to get the right rear brake kit installed since for the moment that corner is existing on the old clip and an adapted part, then I can get the car washed and get a hair cut for Myself as I'm starting to resemble Shaggy Rogers, and I'm beat. I still have the following to do, the amounts are just guesses on My part as I could be off some or a lot, after that the car will be done, for a while. 1. $ 00 Replacing a steering wheel that is soaked with oil thanks to some mechanics dirty hands(I have the replacement, the shop still no steering wheel puller, already paid for in advance) 2. $120? Doing the a/c(I have everything needed, I wish the shop did, their equipment is still busted and it's a small town) 3. $100? Instrument Assembly swap, the tach doesnâ€™t always work and nor does tapping either, so I need to swap the tach out for one that was used less and I have the parts. 4. $200? Recover drivers seat with parts from the old seat 5. $ 50? Fix driver door weatherstripping

Best of luck with your car Zoom! Most every car I have owned (and always well maintained) that has gone past 7 years since purchased new usually start showing their age and different, mostly "small things" start to "go wrong". Within the past month, my 12 1/2 year-old car with almost 80,000 miles on it decided that I had a too much extra $$$ and needed a new radiator since the original sprung a leak that was not fixable. My local repair shop wanted over $400 for a "brand new" aftermarket one including installation with only a 6 month or 5,000 miles parts warranty. Went to a local junk yard with a friend and we salvaged one from a clunker for $35 + tax. Called up my local shop before buying and they agreed to install it for an additional $85. The oldest and car with the most mileage I had was my first car. It was a hand-me-down from my dad. I ended up junking it after 140,000+ miles and being close to 10 years old when the front left axle decided to "snap" when trying to drive it out of the garage one day. Thanks. Yeah, like hard to find parts, I share some parts with the Focus and the earlier Mazda's and the Mercury tracer. It's not the right time for that for Me. Right now it's a clip for the right rear dust/splash shield or backing plate for a drum brake, the existing clip was lodged between the shield and the rear spindle/knuckle as the screw had come loose and vanished, the shield on My car is an obsolete part, My only hope is the U shaped clip is still available, everyone else uses a different O shaped clip, the modified damaged clip is silent going forward, go in reverse, can you say Banshee? This car is almost @ 109,000 miles. Except for this clip the rear is done, I'll know more in the morning, they might need to call a junk yard and enlist their help on this. I have enough on hand to do an oil change and to clean the MAP sensor and if needed the TPS sensor, plus wash the car, I have a smog test to pass in 2019.

And the XB cases cost about $100 on Amazon. A 240 cooler will do just fine with a Xeon X5675 95w 3.06GHz cpu, a 280 would be nice, but some alterations need to be done to accommodate two 140x25mm fans up front, that and bend some tabs.

This is to replace part of My 24yr old broken sofa/recliner, I'd have to get a loveseat and ottoman for anyone else. The 53.5" wide loveseat. It was not easy to find 3 in a similar color. The ottoman, which in this case can be used as storage which is very lacking here.

The noise is like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m32o4FphI9s The front disc brakes are finally feeling better at 70mph, must be the desert heat. After I get the Map sensor cleaned and the oil changed, I'll be down to 5 items that need to be done and the car will be totally fixed. I'm waiting on the shop to get a steering wheel puller in and to get the a/c evac machine fixed, once that's done it's pull the instrument assembly, replace the wonky tach w/a low mileage tach that I have and then the car will be 99% done, I'll have to see about the front seat and the loose window weatherstripping on My drivers side door, after that the car will be 100% fixed. Yay!

Splash guards is so far the only thing that might be dragging, though I've been told everything looks tight under the car, I'm not so sure, when I go back I'm taking My good camera and a long screwdriver to poke at stuff with, just cause it looks tight, doesn't mean it really is. Since I had the rear drum brakes and struts replaced those are out. Also I need to get the Map sensor cleaned with some spray, I really do need to get one of those car/computer interfaces, there is another sensor that might need some attention, but I can't remember what it is.

I had a CT scan of My thorax, buzz, buzz, LOL, it was suspected that I had Emphysema by My Doctor as an xray showed scarring, Me I said was from pneumonia at one time, I was right, I should have bet Doc $100, kidding, except for some plaque in an artery and a fatty liver, My lungs are just healthy lungs, I'm down to 396lbs too. I'm taking 1000mcg of vitamin Methylcobalamin B-12 a day, My Doctor approves of this and it seems to be helping, this bypasses the liver and goes to the bloodstream directly. I still need to work on both home and car, the car is down to 5 items: 1. Turning the front rotors(Raybestos, ugh, I won't buy these again, they were warped and NEW, yes I got a refund, turning them will set Me back $100 plus the cost of pads) 2. Doing the a/c(I have everything needed, I wish the shop did, their equipment is still busted and it's a small town, $??) 3. Doing an oil change(I have 5qts oil and a filter, that's $20 for labor) 4. Replacing a steering wheel that is soaked with oil thanks to some mechanics dirty hands(I have the replacement, the shop still no steering wheel puller, Free cause I'm such a good customer), and 5. Finding the cause of the Car needs service soon light(it did say O2 sensors, replaced those, it's still on) Next here is getting the gas furnace repaired in October, it's probably either 1 of 3 limit switches or a furnace control board(an ICM2801 or a 7990-319P), I'm not sure if H&B is a York or Evcon dealer, possibly they were a Coleman installer, but both types are available new and not used, I had to do a decent amount of research on the subject. I had the furnace blower activate a few months back all on its own, the fan position on the thermostat was set to ON instead of Auto and the temp was at 88F and climbing, switching to Auto did nothing and the Thermostat has 2 good Duracell AA batteries in it for backup of the settings, so I turned the blower off at the power switch. Even the 50A 240v breaker is new. I had to replace a few electrical outlets, one had burned up cause it was one without screws on the side that was installed by Fleetwood in 1987 and I had all but the main breaker replaced outside and the panel secured against rain, I still have 18-20 15A 115v electrical outlets to replace and 4 20A 115v outlets and circuits to get installed, the 20A circuits are estimated at $220-$270 by an electrician I'd hired, I have all the parts to complete all the electrical repairs. 9 outlets are ok and 18-20 to replace. Burned outlet and wires anyone? I've got more of these little monsters in the walls, I also have their replacements. Fleetwood installed these gems in 1987, if you own a place similar to mine, check it out, they're a fire hazard, one place nearby burned down and was torn down as scrap by the new park owners, but then that place was old and owned by the park, the new owners have been tearing out all the condemned units and refurbished 3 that are for sale, plus they changed the name of the park from Trinity Oasis Palms MHP to Foothill Estates MHP LLC, they intend to get the park out of the Mobile Home rental business and just rent the lots, all 88, thankfully I already own Mine as do 6 or so other places out of 28. My panel is now fixed, the 100A main breaker has a hairline crack I was told, possibly cause of the huge aluminum power cable connecting the panel to the stub, the rest of the breakers are all new. I also had work on the plumbing done, the toilet valves were both replaced and the garbage disposal were all installed, it was attracting some fungus gnats, an exterminator said they'd go away, He was right, they did, sorry no pics on this, you've seen one toilet and disposal, you've seen them all. Panorama mode on My Samsung Galaxy Ring Camera. I'm slowly transferring stuff to the NEW bigger 72"Wx24"Dx78"H desk... This beast can hold My laptop and 4 PC's, 2 full towers and 2 Cooler Master HAF XB cases, the 2 other PCs I have carts for. Just getting the first shelf on was an adventure, since I had to get the 1st shelf, wheels, and posts upright with tight clearance above it, yep it was a tight fit, good thing the ceiling is arched or it would have been almost impossible for Me to do by Myself. The old 48"Wx18"Dx72"H desk will be used as shelving in the front bedroom for boxes, storage here is really lacking. In the spring I'll be getting some new dual pane vinyl windows, for the kitchen window that can handle a 15,100 BTU window a/c unit and bracket and an identical one for the main bathroom window, if I can ever get the estimate for the windows, they have part of the estimate I was told, which part? I don't know. It can be 100F in the bathroom when it's 105F outside, on days like that I feel like I'm melting even with 2 fans on Maximum.

The rear struts have been replaced, now on to the gas furnace in October, got to find out why that is not working and get that working again. Car: After that work on the car a/c, front brakes, steering wheel, figure out what is causing the service engine soon light to stay on since it can't be the O2 sensors that were replaced. I've got most of the parts already. Which for now is all that I can think of that needs to be done for the car, so far. Home: Replace 18-20 electrical outlets(15Amp), add 4 circuits @ 20Amps each($270 for the 20Amp alone was the estimate) 2-20Amp outlets are for window a/c units. Replace 2 windows, technically that should be 3 windows, but the 3rd window is just a bedroom that's used for storage at present. Add a 15,100 BTU window a/c unit and bracket to one dual pane vinyl window. I've got some of the parts already, just not the 2 windows or the a/c. 15,100 BTU is the largest a/c unit that I could find that uses 115v, beyond this requires a 230v circuit and breaker that consumes 2 slots in the breaker box outside, the 115v breakers I use consume only 1 slot by comparison and I don't have many slots left in the box, not if I want to install a 70Amp 230v breaker for a BEV in the near future, 70Amps is the largest that can be installed in the electrical breaker box here. A Level 2 64Amp lockable charger @ 230v would be needed for the Leaf or the Tesla, yes they're sold and this would be hardwired to the 70Amp breaker. BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle My favorite BEV a 2019+ Nissan Leaf E-Plus w/a 225 mile range and a 100-102KW max charge rate, plus 200hp, yeah it would have to be used, maybe. 2nd choice for a BEV, the Tesla Model 3, since there is a Super Charger network in place near every Interstate Highway all across America, plus into Canada and Northern Mexico, there are 20+ Superchargers near My location. Nissan Leaf E-Plus Bing Search for there is a lot to read out there.

The police cars here in Louisville were Ford Crown Victoria's for many years. I'm not sure what they use nowadays. Back in the day, I was a cop with NYPD for 20 years. When assigned to Manhattan, there were no long involved car chases. Because neither the bad guys, nor the police, could quickly move through Manhattan traffic. When responding to an emergency. It was, many times, the cops on scooters who arrived first. Because we, in our large police cars, were stuck. Roof lights and loud sirens were only partially successful. This 'little' car would have been most helpful :) I think NYC's traffic jams are legendary, out here a long narrow concrete or asphalt parking lot would come close.

Those "push in" sockets are c**p - as you say, a fire looking to happen, glad you've been able to get them replaced. One sad thing is that poor wiring isn't an old thing, recently I was round at a friend's five year old house, one of the outlets in the lounge had an ominous black stain above it on the wall and felt warm to the touch. I commented on this and got the "it's been like that for a couple of months"... Curiosity bit, and I tripped the breaker for that circuit, removed the socket cover and found that screws for the wires weren't even finger tight, after tightening the screws I set about checking the rest of the visible sockets, most were in the same state. No excuse in a five year old house for that sort of shoddy workmanship. I left my friends on the phone to the builders to make a claim and get a proper electrician in to carry on with the rest of the electrics (I ponder how many more in that new estate are similarly affected). Nope, I'm trying to eat like a diabetic and it seems to be working, even Diet Mountain Dew soda is ok since there is no sugar and no carbohydrates to convert to fat. And thanks.

Congratulations on loosing the weight and hope you can continue dropping some more! Yea, those "push in" wire electrical sockets are a real danger. Don't Use Push-in Wire Connections on Switches and Receptacles . Hope you can get them all replaced asap to prevent any fires. From the article linked above: But this connection is notoriously insecure, and it doesn't really provide the degree of metal-on-metal contact necessary for a good electrical connection. The wires will easily turn into the push-in hole, and gradually work their way loose. And the sheer amount of metal-on-metal contact is very, very small with push-in connections, which can lead to overheating of the device. Yeah the electrician I had do some work here said the wire size had been downgraded from 12 to 14 for the "stab in the back" locations, His description. I've had 9 outlets replaced at one time or another, so I'm about 1/3rd done. Thanks.

Though I have to fix two things here in October, the gas furnace, it's either a limit switch or two or a furnace control board and install 2 rear struts which should have been replaced between 60,000 and 85,000 miles, the car is dragging on the ground at random and at slow speed, either a straight ahead or in a right turn on the right rear side of the car on pavement or on a dirt driveway($150 was offered today though not in writing as they were out of paper, at first they verbally offered $200 and then $150), My car has just over 108,530 miles on the odometer, I should have about $360 in October. The gas tank shows some signs of abrasion. In November I'm hoping $120 is enough, I was told if I got the oil and filter and replacement steering wheel(this is to replace one that has oil in the stitching thanks to bare oily hands), they'd only charge for the car a/c, the oil change(normally $20) and install a replacement steering wheel would be done for free, I have all the parts for the car, otherwise that November work will have to wait until December or maybe even January.

Part VI (Message 1953973) Posted 6 Sep 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I have lost something, since 12/29/2016 I've lost 55lbs, yep I'm down to 396lbs in weight, My Doctor is going to love that when next We meet, I'm eating like I was a diabetic, though I'm not. I'm taking 1000mcg of vitamin B-12 per day too. Next month I'm going to try and get the 31yr old gas furnace fixed, then some more work on My car and I've put a lot out there. I put a bedroom lamp together today, a Seville Classics steel wire cart(that was hard to build, for a PC a few weeks ago), a Nexel wire steel shelving unit 72"w24"d78"h w/4" wheels(easy to build, I'm at the 3rd shelf of 5, I added 1 shelf and the wheels), some a/c parts, 5w30 oil, oil filter, 3 shirts out of 10, shoes size 12 3E, etc, etc, etc. The old shelving unit will go into the front bedroom to help with the storage problem there. Some I bought and some that just showed up on My doorstep, so far no video card, recliner, loveseat, ottoman/storage unit from Amazon has shown up, but then I'm just watching these. I've had some plumbing and electrical work done too, I had a few electrical outlets replaced and 18-20 to be replaced since 1 outlet melted a couple of wires(that is what the electrician said, not Me), the outlets were ones that Fleetwood installed back in 1987 and these ones have no screws on the sides, just slots on the back, My electrician thinks these are garbage and He's exactly right too, the plumbing was to install a garbage disposal and 2 toilet valves and except for the main 100Amp breaker I've had all the breakers replaced with new ones, I have 18-20 new outlets on the way here. I also need to get rid of a few cardboard boxes, but that will take a bit of time, since moving some to make room for the old shelving unit takes priority. Burned wires... And from what I've seen and been told, Grace is a very popular cat.

And there will be more. And yes I could use it, it would be faster and use less energy and put out less heat for the 10,000 BTU window a/c to deal with. I do have 2 PCs and a laptop(only 1 is online at present), plus a 3rd PC that is nearly finished, I just lack enough a/c and power, which I'm slowly getting fixed.

FB is up to about 27, so far. Good news: I'm 58 now, 4 more years and I'll be older than My brother who was 61. I'm taking 500mcg of B-12 these days, seems to be helping, I've gotten a lot more done than I used to before that. Bad news: I have to get a CT scan of My lungs before August in Barstow, My Doctor thinks I have emphysema, He saw scarring in an xray of My lungs, probably from pneumonia that I had at one time, I just need a cool day, I'll be calling them Monday, hopefully they have an opening on Tues or Wed, both are cool at 102F, today was 112F, Grace is ok. Otherwise I'm chugging along, I'm building a 3rd and 4th PC for the winter here for the heat(3-E5-1650v2 cpus, 1-X3480, 2-X5675's, only the 3480 is a Quad, the rest are all Hexes), My Coleman 2.5ton gas furnace is 31 years old and has no new parts, the last repair was with hard to come by scavenged parts, in August I have an appointment for an estimate for a Goodman heatpump w/a backup heat source or a new gas furnace, the company is a 2 person outfit. I've got lots of Win 7 OS covered too, in 2019 I plan on installing 2 new custom sized dual pane vinyl windows and maybe a 2nd LG window a/c unit @ 8000 BTU's for the other half of the home depending on what the estimate is for, the back bathroom is usually 5F lower than outside in the summer, of course the entire southern California area around Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange counties is roasting to one extent or another, My sister in law thought She moved to a cooler area, it was 118F there today, that shall pass, I hope. Plus there is work on My car, the front brakes have crappy rotors now which have been refunded by Amazon, as they were New and yet warped(Raybestos), below 40mph they are ok above that they pulsate, I even had a caliper replaced as an old one was leaking, yes I'm going to get locally sourced slotted and drilled rotors, it's My mechanic's idea, which are about $182 before 7.75% sales tax and any labor, hopefully the Bendix semi-metallic pads won't need replacing. I still have to install the Bendix shoes for the rear, the current ones squeak from dust that's about $90, rear struts $252 to install, O2 sensors $117 to install.

My relatives use real butter and real cream cheese when they make Thanksgiving and Xmas dinners, they don't skimp, the only other person to not gain weight there was My older niece, She's Vegan, so no weight gain, and She has one fantastic boyfriend, His name I think is Nick, and yes He has friends on an NFL football team, though I can't remember His last name, but then I've only met Him twice, I'll know later on in 2018 if they're both serious or not.

A "standard" portion is about 3 to 4 ounces, on the scant evidence you've provided I'd guess between 8 and 16 ounces. Get a set of working kitchen scales and use them for every meal and snack you eat. Not true, you are jumping to conclusions, I didn't say what size, and pasta does soak up sauce, I was trained how to cook by My mom, better than some Men, like My dad, who couldn't cook anything, heck He had to come to Me to ask how to wash dishes... Oh and dad was 42 years older than I am. I gained weight cause of joint problems from an accident, surgery, and no rehab, I'd been skinny before that, you weren't here, so you have no right to say that. That is backed up by Medical records... No I won't, but then I don't need to, why? Cause I take in less calories and carbs than I expend, that's why during November and December I'd not gained any weight, and mind you what My sister in law and young niece cook can pile on the weight, but then My not gaining any weight is backed up at My Doctors Office, in their records...

I had to get down on My knees, which has been painful to do since I was 12 years old, I grew about 1.5' between age 11yrs and 12, and then I had to force 414 or so lbs up, with 2 dislocated hips and a dislocated right shoulder, all 3 since 2002 and 1978 respectively, lots of falls, but I did get up, a lot of pain there, mainly in My knees, I also injured the knees in 2002, a pre 2002 MRI, post 2002 X-rays, and CT scans say otherwise, plus I have 3 titanium screws in 1 leg, and the scars on one of My ankles to prove it, the surgery ruined both ankles. The surgery was against My will, as I was made to sign under duress, I wanted to get out of there, but being I had a broken leg, and I strapped into a gurney, as the pain was increasing, did I sign? Yes. Did I pay? Hell NO! It was not a legal contract, and therefore unenforceable... And the SSA also refused to pay in 2003. Being I had no income in 2002 I could not sue, civil lawsuits take money for lawyers, and except for the admitting Nurse, there were no witnesses... It was a For Profit Hospital, where they honored only what the Hospital sold, My brother said not to take Him there ever, His Tricare would not be honored, nor would His Medicare, I kept My word on Him not going there, He was My brother. Sure I had income from 2003, but it was not much, as I was living with My brother, so I did not get very much, SSI is need based, I had to move out in 2004, as My brother was dying, He passed in early 2005. My sister in law will be buried with Him one day in a cemetery near the Whittier Narrows, He has such a good location. I guess I could take a pic on one side of the ankle in question, the other side would need someone else to take a pic of, no sorry they're not gory, the stainless steel staples made some nice marks, and no the staples are long gone, the screws I still have, ironically the other ankle works worse than the one that had to be moved and that ankle was never operated on, go figure... Oh and the surgery was considered life threatening, and took 2 hours to do, I asked. Also I did not get any rehab, the rehab I got was what I was able to do Myself, like bending My toes, which at first were really stiff, if Universal Healthcare was in place back then, things might have been different, not so stiff or heavy, I wasn't always heavy and fat shaming people is wrong. But then prior to 1978 almost like My dad, I had some pretty good upper body strength, though I never got to the level He did, the fall on My shoulder stopped that, He climbed a rope hand over hand, but then His dad made Him do exercises before breakfast, everyday, grandpa I think knew what was coming and made sure My dad was ready.

Also the structure of the tyre has been compromised, there is a fair chance that the tread may split away from the sidewall :-( (Beside that, tyre fitter hate slime with a passion beyond belief - it makes a real mess on the inside of the rim that has to be scraped off before it can be scrubbed off before they can fit the new tyre - in the worst case they may write the rim off, which is most certainly not what you or I want to happen) Ok, consider the slime deleted, writing off a rim is not good, an aluminum Ford rim especially.

My bad - it is one of your older tyres, so is it the "emergency spare"? No it's the one with the steel wires. 1 trip would be as much as It would do, maybe, I should take a pic of it, the sidewalls are ok. The spare is just on an incompatible rim, one for a Hyundai.

That and there is a ram chip shortage too. I mean 1060's in blower form are going for near or above $500.00, the article says this mainly is for 1060 and 1070 cards, even Nvidia is out of 1060 FE's, 1070's are even worse, they can go as high as $1,299.00, $1,299.00, that's insane.

Money, I'd need $100 for that and getting an alignment done, and that does not include changing the spare tire to a new rim $19 I was told, nor $6 for gasoline(2 gallons here), and I remember when the strut had the paint rubbed off, it's when that nankang tire blew on the fwy, I was doing 65, I did shred that tire, others I read had problems with Nankang tires, I also replaced those 3 nankangs cause of the rough ride, the tire that blew was fine at or below 70mph, go above that and the car would vibrate, I put a new tire on there, and the vibration went away. Plus I'd need a ride into Barstow, a friend here would do that, but He's only available on the weekend. But I'll wait.

It's actually a tire, not tires, which did hold air long enough to go about 100', how long did it take for the air to leak out after someone here in the park reinflated the tire? I have no idea, as I didn't think the tire would hold air for long. The tire is not destroyed, just leaky and almost at the end of being useful. The spare tire is just on the wrong rim, one for a Hyundai, not one for a Ford or Saturn, the right rim for the spare will be here on the 15th via UPS.

The CHP would tell you so and hang up, that is the California Highway Patrol, an official police arm of the government of the State of California, go ahead call them, Autozone sells them, as do places on ebay, as does O'Reilly Auto Parts, as does Amazon, and I wouldn't doubt Walmart sells them as well. I may not be the mechanic that the rest of My family is(no woman in My family knows much about cars, it would be nice, but that is just not interesting to them), but We all know autos, My grandpa owned an auto repair garage, with the family name displayed proudly for all to see, He knew automobiles, as did My dad, My brother, My cousins, My nephew, especially My nephew, He has some real skills there.

They do mention more at the link, I don't know if you have read the entire website or not. So I'll include some more here: Here are some considerations to help you decide which device family to target: Maximizing your app's reach To reach the maximum range of devices with your app, and to have it run on as many devices as possible, your app will target the universal device family. By doing so, the app automatically targets every device family that's based on universal (in the diagram, all the children of universal). That means that the app runs on every OS based on those device families, and on all the devices that run those operating systems. The only APIs that are guaranteed to be available on all those devices is the set defined by the particular version of the universal device family that you target. To find out how an app can call APIs outside of its target device family version, see Writing Code later in this topic. Limiting your app to one kind of device You may not want your app to run on a wide range of devices; perhaps it's specialized for a desktop PC or for an Xbox console. In that case you can choose to target your app at one of the child device families. For example, if you target the desktop device family, the APIs guaranteed to be available to your app, include the APIs inherited from the universal device family, as well as the APIs that are particular to the desktop device family. Limiting your app to a subset of all possible devices Instead of targeting the universal device family, or targeting one of the child device families, you can instead target two (or more) child device families. Targeting desktop and mobile might make sense for your app. Or desktop and HoloLens. Or desktop, Xbox and Surface Hub, and so on. Excluding support for a particular version of a device family In rare cases, you may want your app to run everywhere except on devices with a particular version of a particular device family. For example, let's say your app targets version 10.0.x.0 of the universal device family. When the operating system version changes in the future, say to 10.0.x.2, at that point you can specify that your app runs everywhere except version 10.0.x.1 of Xbox by targeting your app to 10.0.x.0 of universal and 10.0.x.2 of Xbox. Your app will then be unavailable to the set of device family versions within Xbox 10.0.x.1 (inclusive) and earlier. By default, Microsoft Visual Studio specifies Windows.Universal as the target device family in the app package manifest file. To specify the device family or device families that your app is offered to from within the Store, manually configure the TargetDeviceFamily element in your Package.appxmanifest file. Extension SDKs Once you have decided on the device family that your app will target, add a reference to the Extension SDK(s) that implement the APIs for that device family. If you are targeting the Universal device family, you don't need to reference an extension SDK. But if you are targeting a device family besides Universal, in Visual Studio you will add a reference to the extension SDK that matches the device family you have chosen. For example, if you are targeting the mobile device family, you would add a reference to the Windows Mobile Extensions for the UWP in Visual Studio's Reference Manager. Selecting a device family does not prohibit you from adding extension SDKs for other types of devices. You will just need to ensure that you test for the presence of APIs not included in the device family you have chosen as described below in Writing Code. UI and universal input A UWP app can run on many devices that have different forms of input, screen resolutions, DPI density, and other unique characteristics. Windows 10 provides new universal controls, layout panels, and tooling to help you adapt your UI to the devices your app may run on. For example, you can tailor the UI to take advantage of the difference in screen resolution when your app is running on a desktop computer versus on a mobile device. Some aspects of your app's UI will automatically adapt across devices. Controls such as buttons and sliders automatically adapt across device families and input modes. Your app's user-experience design, however, may need to adapt depending on the device the app is running on. For example, a photo app should adapt to the UI when running on a small, hand-held device to ensure that usage is ideal for single-hand use. When a photo app is running on a desktop computer, the UI should adapt to take advantage of the additional screen space. Windows helps you target your UI to multiple devices with the following features: Universal controls and layout panels help you to optimize your UI for the screen resolution of the device. Common input handling allows you to receive input through touch, a pen, a mouse, a keyboard, or a controller such as a Microsoft Xbox controller. Tooling helps you to design UI that can adapt to different screen resolutions. Adaptive scaling adjusts to resolution and DPI differences across devices. Universal controls and layout panels Windows 10 includes new controls such as the calendar and split view. The pivot control, which was previously available only for Windows Phone, is also now available for the universal device family. Controls have been updated to work well on larger screens, adapt themselves based on the number of screen pixels available on the device, and work well with multiple types of input such as keyboard, mouse, touch, pen, and controllers such as the Xbox controller. You may find that you need to adapt your overall UI layout based on the screen resolution of the device your app will be running on. For example, a communication app running on the desktop may include a picture-in-picture of the caller and controls well suited to mouse input:

5251) Message boards : Number crunching : Universal Windows Platform, Windows 10, and Boinc (Message 1911285) Posted 6 Jan 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Has anyone thought of developing Boinc and by extension Seti for this? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/universal-application-platform-guide Xbox One Windows 10 In this guide, you'll learn about the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Windows 10: What a device family is and how to decide which one to target. What an Extension SDK is and how it provides access to APIs specific to a class of devices. New UI controls and panels for adapting your UI to different screen sizes or rotations. How to understand and control the API surface that is available to your app. Windows 10 introduces the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which provides a common app platform on every device that runs Windows 10. The UWP provides a guaranteed core API across devices. This means you can create a single app package that can be installed onto a wide range of devices. And, with that single app package, the Microsoft Store provides a unified distribution channel to reach all the device types your app can run on. Apps that target the UWP can call not only the WinRT APIs that are common to all devices, but also APIs (including Win32 and .NET APIs) that are specific to the class of device that the app is running on. I don't know how to program really, oh at one time I could and did understand Basic, and I typed in a lot of Compute! magazine code, plus I do have an understanding of computers, since 1980. But nothing in C# or even C++, since when I started, those weren't available on a 64K computer.

Not everything can be bought new, if you want the latest and greatest, fine then do so, not everything is bought used here, I do buy new, when it's possible, but then I'm prudent, most people don't buy the latest gadget, and I don't either... I recycle bottles, I don't litter, but then I have never thrown stuff on the ground, as I am not a litterbug, always in the proper receptacle. Maintaining a car? I pay people to do that, I do understand what goes on, it's just not something that I was interested in, like My dad, My brother, or My grandpa who owned a car repair shop and later an auto dealership was, yes there are pics on the web. Pay for work on a gas furnace? Yes, I paid $400.00, the Coleman gas furnace does work, the last bill before the repairs in Dec 2016 was about $60.00, $42.99 a year later is much better. The Dec 2016 electric bill was $103.32(I did keep this and the gas bill by copy and paste), this month $44.72, I've been busy from time to time. $42.99 last month for natural gas usage, $44.72 for electric, $4.75 in fees for electric and gas use, $15.00 for garbage hauling, $30.00 for water, and $265.00 for rent, total $402.46. Car insurance $16.33, internet access $44.99, food $102.00, gasoline $6.00, misc bills $407.79, some of the $407.79 are one time bills, like postage or making a final payment on the gas furnace repairs of $100.00, the $300.00 was earlier, I don't have much data for earlier, as I don't need to keep records, since I don't have income that is taxable. Keeping a PC clear of viruses, and other malware, better than most people, or anyone in My extended family, but then I had to teach some about identity theft, I have a friend who runs and owns a TV station, I worked on some of His PCs, I never got a complaint. One of His 486 based PCs I could not fix, too old or too damaged by His employees usage, and a lot of not without doing some basic malware preventative measures. And for the most part, I don't buy lotto tickets, not in a while at least. I have been running a house and such since I was 10 years old, that's nearly 48 years, billing since I was 18yrs old, shopping since I was 28 yrs old, I took care of My mom since age 30, until She died at 76, heart failure in a hospital, she needed a pacemaker like Her sister had, My aunt lived until She was 88, thankfully I inherited mom's hair color, not Her heart condition or Her sisters, and My dad's height.

My car has sealed front bearings, since it is front wheel drive, so they are not repackable, according to: How to Check a Vehicleâ€™s Wheel Bearings for Dummies. And yes I've had wheel bearing problems once before, so I can say this does not feel like a wheel bearing problem. I don't know of any Ford that has ABS, though some say Ford has ABS. The only noise that I hear is, My rear drum brakes, they squeak loudly when cold. I don't have $254.14, $75.00 I can manage easily in February, even $181.00 might be possible, maybe, it's just way too early to know yet, but $254.14 or whatever, nope, not at the moment, since I have no idea of when anything other than My main check will arrive in My bank account, anything beyond that is not knowable until I see it...

I'm not an expert, and the closest repair experts are about 13-14 miles away, plus the same distance to come home, if I can't pay for their solution. Sure My friend here can do a few things, but alignment may not be one of them, and that is what got Me here, alignment from putting in 2 new struts on the front end, no My friend did not do the manual alignment, someone else did. BT&B in Barstow CA charges $75.00 for an alignment on My car, I just called them, that is the price they charge for all cars.
5268) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1910862) Posted 5 Jan 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The wear pattern you have described is very symptomatic of a worn wheel bearing :-( I hope your friend is able to correctly diagnose the problem. And if it is a wheel bearing adding spacers will only make things wear much faster. As it stands your car is unusable, which given where you live in relation to "anywhere of use" is far from a good thing. Yeah, cause mail, medical, and food are something that need a car here, in any case I'm stuck, if it's a wheel bearing, I can't do a thing for months, starving does not appeal to Grace or Me.

5273) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1910841) Posted 5 Jan 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The tire rim/wheel is stock, and is on all 4 corners, some of the paint on the strut is worn away, shiny really. This suggests there may be an issue with your front wheel bearings as that is about the only way the tyre can come in contact with the strut (unless you you've got massively over-sized tyres, or are running rims with far too little offset) Spacers only help if you've got wrong offset or too large a tyre fitted - I think in the latter case you'd be looking at something like a 205 or bigger (based on what my brother used to put on his Escort of a similar date to yours.) That wrench looks, to put it politely, pathetic - if you have a stuck nut then you'd be safer not trying to use it, the "rods" pull out of the centre pressing so easily :-( I think it's too late on the wrench, places there ship pretty fast, the tire has shipped already in an email I've received, so the wrench can't be far behind. Wheel bearings, what next? Well I did not order the spacers, though I could, 5mm distance between the tire and such as a temp measure, there are 2 in the package, for 10mm total. I'll ask about new wheel bearings on the front.
5274) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1910829) Posted 5 Jan 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Vic, Sorry I was in bed when you asked your question about those "spider lug wrenches" - the best are good, but the vast majority aren't worth the money, so, please, try and cancel that bit of the order. I would expect to pay >$100 for a good one, but the few dollars you spend on a cheap one that's been painted a pretty colour is just asking for trouble when you try to use it - the welds break all too easily, and you can end up doing a face plant. It is much better to look for a "man sized" version of the one you've already got (why, oh why do car manufacturers give out such small tools....) Tyre rubbing on the strut due to alignment issues??? Wrong wheel offeset is not alignment issue, its a wrong wheel, and the sidewall will wear away in only a few miles, so don't even risk it. NEVER EVER DRIVE with a tyre rubbing on anything - that is in effect setting out on a journey with the intent on having an accident. With all these tyre & suspension woes its about time you stopped and thought about getting your car properly looked at - it may cost a few dollars, but it could well save you many times what you spend. So forget getting any more computer bits until after fixing your car. The tire wrench I bought, is a bit smaller @ 17", not green now, and $9.99 instead of $14.99, the wrench is on it's way. The tire rim/wheel is stock, and is on all 4 corners, some of the paint on the strut is worn away, shiny really. Small tools, yeah, cost I would think, that and the bigger the tool, the more room one needs to store it in the auto. From what I've read spares are becoming optional, to decrease weight, to get rid of the tools, and substitute a kit to reinflate the tire, which I do know won't always help. Well I will have to be driven to Barstow to get this partly fixed, then drive there on My own to get the rest done, I'll have to mount the spare tire on the new rim, put that on the back, then put the back wheel up front, and then drive in. There is a way to offset the rim from the strut by 5mm outward, by using a spacer, but I don't have one, and it might affect the tire when turning the car tire, maybe, I generally don't like spacers, cause it alters the position of the wheel in relation to the car's wheel well. Even when the 3 get here, hopefully to My door I might add, I can't do anything until maybe the 7th of February, the mailbox is going to be packed, oh well. And I have not ordered the universal spacers, they can mount on 4-Lug: 4X98, 4X100, 4X108, 4x110, 4x112, 4x114.3, 4X120, 4X4.5" My cost after a coupon for the 2 spacers, $11.42. Oh and the spare is wider than the main tires, the spare size is one that was sold with the car used, but is not stock for My car, it's just on the plus side from stock.
5275) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1910777) Posted 5 Jan 2018 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Ok since no one said that I shouldn't get the tire and a tire lug wrench, I bought both from Amazon, I just now have to figure out how much an alignment will be, plus mounting and balancing the tire, plus how to pay for that, since I can't drive for long on a tire that will be rubbing against the strut cause of an alignment issue, plus there is a disposal fee for the old tire, at least the incompatible rim will be coming home, it's compatible with a 2001 Hyundai Elantra that uses a 15"x5.5" rim w/a 45mm offset, I found that out from a different source than the buyer on ebay, and it's too late for that, so it's water under the bridge, but at maybe $30.00 the rim is not worth much outside of scrap value, if that. The last item on ebay has a part number on it, if it does not match, there will be a refund from ebay, as an item as not described. I say last since I don't want to buy from there after that for a few years, Amazon I want to do largely the same. The spare tire in My car trunk and the Amazon rim will cost $19.00 to put with each other, I think, as Barstow Tire and Brake doesn't seem to tell one everything up front, which is why I'd like to go elsewhere for most work on the car, if I could. First I was told a smaller amount, then $19.00 cause of moving a tire from one rim to another rim, so yeah if I had an alternative, I'd take the rest of My business elsewhere, I used to go to PepBoys years ago, but they don't exist in Barstow, I had dealings with them in Hesperia CA and in Victorville CA, Barstow is probably too small for them still. I could live without the spare for a month, one place Auto Express said $80 for manual alignment, but I think that is how I started eating front right tires, that's the only thing that makes any sense, I'll ask Barstow Tire and Brake how much an alignment costs and what all the costs are, then go from there in February, I sure won't be going to the Post Office to collect any mail, not this month I don't think. I don't like it when things get in My way all at once.

If there is inside or outside edge wear, look at the "shape" of the wear pattern as that can tell a lot about what the potential problem is. It is highly unlikely that miss-alignment would be caused by a blow-out. The other possibles are, wheel bearings worn out (they don't always make graunching noises when they go) - now that may be "helped along the way" by a blow-out, but they would have to be nearing the end of their life for that to kick in; bent suspension arm, worn out suspension bushes, damaged strut (old age and decrepitness is high on the list of suspects there), damage to the actual frame of the car, and so the list continues. The inside edge of the front right tire/tyre is past the safe point, steel belts can be seen sticking out of the tire. I checked by feel on the opposite side and if I had a problem over there, the place that mounted the tire on the left would have told Me, the right side was not mounted professionally on the spindle. The front struts were mounted by a friend, not a shop, so one could be near alignment, while the other could be not in alignment. I had the entire front end replaced, by a local shop, the struts at the time did not show any wear, so this does not apply to the front struts. Well I have to replace the tire, thankfully that will cost nothing, what is there now won't make it 13 miles down the fwy to Barstow CA. The rim for the spare, that is correct according to Amazon, has been paid for, all of $60.00, I have $75.00 left there, the $75 can't be used anywhere else, and I tried to move that money to My debit card already, that went nowhere.

Hello Victor, Thanks for contacting Amazon.com Customer Support! As much as we want to help you with your concern. Unfortunately, we're unable to transfer fund from gift card to debit card. I am so sorry. We look forward to seeing you again soon. We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the buttons below to vote about your experience today. Best regards, Ellie B. Amazon.com So the $135.00 there is only available to use on Amazon, so a $60 rim it is, the rest will just have to stay there, at least it doesn't expire. :( I'm going to turn the car around, and try to take off the bad front right tire, turning the car around will place the right side on concrete, though the problem seems to be one of alignment to Me, a bad manual alignment got Me into this, nothing on that can be done here currently. :)

Both run far cooler than I expected. Both dump the heat out of the case, unlike the Strix which dump the majority into the case. The blast of air from them is far more than I expected so I'm not sure where you get the impression that the rear vent is in anyway "too small". I've gone for single fan, external exhaust for all my recent GPUs as they appear to run at the same temperature as the multi fan equivalents, but get the heat out of the case, and the fans last significantly longer. But, as it has been said many times "yer pays yer money and makes yer choice". True, I was pointing out the differing sizes of the holes for heat to be exhausted thru, Nvidia's seems to be the most restrictive, MSI seems to be in 2nd place in this regard, and EVGA is in 1st place, at least by looks, since EVGA has the biggest vent, buying a couple 1060 FE's or even one doesn't seem worth it to Me, due to cost, since the cost is almost the cost of a 1070 Ti. 2560 CUDA cores 1080 8GB 2432 CUDA cores 1070 Ti 8GB 1920 CUDA cores 1070 8GB 1280 CUDA cores 1060 6GB 1152 CUDA cores 1060 3GB The above cuda core counts came from the sites below. http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-ti https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/

I didn't find any outside of the strix that I liked, oh sure there is the turbo, the vents aren't big enough, or the Nvidia 1060 FE on Amazon, which would work really good in My PC case, but is not something I want to buy on Amazon, not at $480 almost, I have $130 there, soon to be $135, so buying off Amazon is not possible. So the 1070 Ti is ok, and it has only one 8pin power connector jack. A 1060 like you are thinking would dump heat into My case, and interfere with My cpu water cooler, so I'll go with the EVGA 1070 Ti instead, since it has the best slot interface and costs the least. Nvidia 1060 FE $480 almost, no thanks, Nvidia sells these for $299 each on the Nvidia website, but that $130 is captive to Amazon as far as I know. Nvidia 1060 FE EVGA 1070 Ti gaming $490 almost, better. EVGA 1070 Ti gaming slot interface MSI Aero 1070 Ti $588 currently, though in a month, who knows? MSI Aero slot interface

I understand that both are felonies, thus you could face a jail term - and I don't want that to happen to you. Ah - sub-meters - used in many multi-occupancy locations to provide an interface between the incoming feed (which is billed to the site account holder) and to the individual user. Going back a few posts - you state that you've spent $80 on the bits for the Samsung, however, only a few days before Christmas it was "about $99", and when I add up the figures that you've thrown around it is nearer $140. Maybe you've used $80 worth of all the parts you've used, maybe you've had a few refunds, or maybe you've just not added things up correctly. Whichever is true, there is another $120 to $350 (depending on where you manage to get the LED strips from) to hopefully get it into a working state. Then what are you going to do with your two 55inch TVs in you tiny home - surely one of them will have to go? And the check comes in the mail directly to Me, or to anyone in the same situation I'm in, like in a mobile home park. I've deposited many checks, one per year, no one has worried, it's a mobile home park, and I looked on the site for liheap, I can't even find a reference to a mobile home park, but then liheap does not deal directly with people, the money is a grant. So is My SSI check, it's a grant. As to the TV's that is not important right now, the $80 is accurate as I can make it, the psu board cost about $45, the cable $15, the testing of the psu board $20, so I don't know what the extra $19 was for, could be a typo on My part, since I don't keep records beyond 1 month, the bank goes longer, but I have no idea what they would mean, since it's a transaction amount with no real details beyond paypal maybe, the leds might cost $150-164, so far there is only one source, and if things work out like they have in the past, the leds can be in hand in February, instead of March.

I prefer EVGA just because of their extend warranties. I've replaced around 8 or so cards over the years. I understand about cost thou. The hybrid version of the 1070ti would help with that but it's at least $80 more than the base 1070Ti. So, probably not an option. And it's also about the weight, the case here resembles the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, My right shoulder isn't what it used to be, since I had dislocated the joint once. I do know about EVGA, I have an X79 Dark motherboard, an excellent bios too. If I had a Thermaltake X5 case, then it'd be a Strix or the Gigabyte for sure, right now I'm waiting for an Liheap check, in 2017 I got $343, and for February to get here, when I can pour in another $118, I have $130 on an Amazon reloadable gift card, soon to be $135 thanks to bing.com searches on January 3rd, if I lived elsewhere I'd just get a credit on the electric bill, but not being an SCE/DWR customer, people in the park who apply get a check instead.

So which will I go for? I'm not sure, I'm torn between an Asus, or an EVGA, or an MSI, or a Gigabyte... Why am I torn? My PC case, crappy as it is, I don't want heat dumped into the case, since heat rises, the cpu radiator would pick that heated air up. I like the ones that resemble a strix, but the ones that looks like the EVGA would I think work better in My tower case. The Asus 1070 Ti Turbo being the exception, as the vent on the back is not big enough, nor is the Nvidia version.

As ever Vic as soon as anyone shows you something you've already declared that does not sit well with your currently desired status you throw in lots of stray things. Personally I don't care that the parts are unavailable, it is you that is making a big thing of that situation You moan about "keyed" connectors, they only require a little understanding and care to undo, your moaning just demonstrates the lack of one of those. And you're whining here, so there. The 55US57 board is My concern, and I did get it for less than the seller wanted, about 20-25% less. I'm posting, I can if I want, don't like that?

As to the replacement mainboards, the seller said He sent both and probably damaged them, He reflashed the firmware, so He blames Himself. The cable did need to be replaced, and the connectors are keyed, and are not standard connectors you'd find in a PC, they're quite possibly proprietary in nature. Now what started all this? I tried to turn the TV on as I usually do in the morning, after turning the TV off the night before. Nothing happened, except a bunch of mooses were on the loose...
5353) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1909557) Posted 30 Dec 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: You buy a TV that either arrives with or rapidly develops a fault with its backlights. Rapidly? The psu was failing, as well as the LEDs, Samsung put out cheap parts as I later found out, this I had no idea of when I bought the tv. I replaced the psu board cause the TV would not turn on, how is that not a good idea? This fault gets worse and you decide it is a PSU fault without doing any proper diagnostics. What diagnostics would you in your infinite wisdom suggest?? Mind you I don't have any diagnostic tools... This doesn't cure the problem with the backlights so you think it is the main board at fault. The mainboard controls the LED backlights, so why not? So you buy a main board from a different model TV and find that doesn't work, indeed its worse because now the display doesn't come on at all. The seller said that was His fault, so don't blame Me. But of course you just did. You can't see the (physical) difference between the 'correct' and 'incorrect' main boards. From what I've been told it's a firmware change, otherwise they are identical. Somewhere along the line you decide the fault is the IR cable (or did that actually get broken - I can't recall). The cable needed to be replaced, the original was damaged. You now decide it must be an issue with the backlights, and we know the saga started with one of them being faulty. As I said both the psu and backlights were bad, I replaced the bad psu with tested good psu, and the LED's failed. So where from here? Nothing for the moment. I can wait, what's it to you? A new pair of backlights and hope that nothing else has been damaged by your activities. I did not damage anything. And why do Samsung only have one in stock not two - the TV being a few years old and thus in consumer electronics terms several generations behind the times they won't be producing replacement modules in large batches only in small batches at premium costs. Why don't you ask Samsung... And will Shopjimmy get any in from their supply chain? If and when they do, I'll know that. That could be a long wait given the exact model you've got is several years old and they source their parts from "cosmetically defective" new TVs. So what? Then of course you have a working 55 inch TV, but it is not a Samsung and does work so is of no use to you..... This statement contradicts itself, 1st I have a working TV, then it's not working... Once I did that I got picture and sound back, I then did a flashlight test, that showed a picture, and is a standard test, so just quit. Ok?

The Samsung TV is from 2011, so please don't post any "fix the original fault" crap again, since that is what it is, nothing personal... Even though My TV is not a covered model, Samsung did use cheap parts, that's a fact. http://www.dailytech.com/Samsung+to+Pay+Millions+to+Settle+Lawsuits+Over+Mass+LCD+TV+Failures/article24065.htm I. Persistent Failures Strike Numerous Samsung TV Buyers But even aside from the balance sheet, Samsung has serious issues to contend with, despite its sales success. The company has just announced details of a class action settlement with consumers over its use of less-expensive failure-prone capacitors. The failures were sweeping. DailyTech first covered this issue in an early 2011 piece, after both hearing numerous first hand accounts of failures at CES 2011 and reading yet more accounts of failures on Amazon.com, Inc.'s (AMZN) user reviews section. While anecdotal, these stories painted a disturbing picture. "Jerry Nichols" writes: This is my second Samsung purchased from Amazon! The first broke down after six months use and it took the Samsung repairman six weeks to show up to replace one board (less than 15 minutes) and it now works fine. This time I set the new 3D set up on December 19th and it had a black screen on December 20th. The repairman showed up on December 22. He replaced two boards to no avail. He has now ordered a new front panel, basically a new television to be assembled in my home. It will be sometime after Christmas before the new front panel shows up. In my opinion a new set should have been provided to compensate for the four hours use that we got, and what seems to be an extreme repair in the works!

That is exactly the sequence that happened, if you insist on saying this, then don't say anything in the future. The LED's on this TV are edge lit only, as such there are only 2 strips, one on the right, and one on the left, everything is keyed, plugging in power to the LED's like you suggest is impossible, but then you have never worked on an LCD/LED TV like this one, or you'd know that... The mainboard controls how bright the LED's can be, I have tried two other failed main boards, only My original main board makes the TV work, even then the backlighting is out, the psu board gets instructions from the main board, the psu board has only 2 cables, one attaches to the main board(left green), one to the LED's(top), now tell Me something I don't know... The main board has 4 cables, one goes to the psu board(right in tan), one goes to the T-con board(bottom center), one goes to the IR board(left bottom), and one goes to the 2 speakers(right and left bottom).

So asap I'm going to carefully detach the 4 cables here in the kitchen, rather than in My bedroom, since I have more light here, and I can put the TV on a night stand here where I think I can sit down at, and a bit more room, deinstall the BN94-05038C main board, and reinstall the old BN94-04358P main board(since I know the 04358P does work for sure), and then the cables, after that I'll see what happens, and go from there. I asked shopjimmy about the led strips, and they sent Me a link to a video they made, it seems the panel LTJ550HJ05-C that I have wants to use BN96-16609B led strips, one for the right, and one for the left, they're not cheap either, I located a pair on ebay, $169.00 or best offer, which would probably more likely be $164.00, but then I have not been able to find anyone who repairs the BN96-16609B led strips, $105.36 is not going to cut it this month, and yes any thoughts of replacing the main board are gone, deleted even. And right now I'll wait to see if anymore BN96-16609B led strips come up for sale. Strips are specific to the screen rather than the model and must be ordered per the panel number for the screen itself rather than the model information. So the BN96-16609B strips are used in your model but only with the LTJ550HJ05-C screen specifically and this isn't the only one used in your model. Here's a video that will show you what's involved in swapping the strips and how to locate the panel number for your screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Nm01UXifI If you can provide the panel number for your screen I'll see if we can provide an appropriate set of replacements for you. Regards, Austin Manning Customer Service The shopjimmy website is out of stock on these strips, but who knows, not everything is on the web, their BN-16609B is $54.95, that I think is before shipping, but that is a lot better than $169.00 any day. And I just asked shopjimmy how much the led strips and shipping will be, and told Him that My panel is an "LTJ550HJ05-C", if He can locate any strips that is.

Haven't heard anything more about why that train was running 80mph in a 30mph zone or why emergency braking was not applied. From what I've read, emergency braking was applied, it would have taken about 1/2 a mile to stop the train, the EB did slow the train down to 78mph, but that's it, the curve in the original plans was supposed to be replaced, but the people in charge only got $800 Million in ARRA Stimulus funds, the ARRA Stimulus funds totaled $8 Billion, and the railroad still wants to replace that curve, but doing so is not going to be cheap, $800 Million was just not enough money, so some things got cut, which I suspect included the PTC being active or even there. Beyond that I have no knowledge, for the moment at least. In My mind there was too little money, chasing too many projects, it would be nice if Congress would fix that with a proper amount of money, but We'll see what happens in that department in the next few months in 2018. Also the conductor was in the engine with the engineer, doing what I don't know, possibly being a distraction, something PTC would have fixed.

It is sometimes pronounced /ËˆÉ›ksmÉ™s/, but Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ËˆkrÉªsmÉ™s/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Î§ÏÎ¹ÏƒÏ„ÏŒÏ‚, which in English is "Christ". There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas[3] by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas", but its use dates back to the 16th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas And please, My grandpa said Merry Xmas, and He was quite capable of preaching in an Evangelical Church, He had My dad memorize the bible, and do calisthenics before breakfast, as a result My dad could climb the rope in gym to the ceiling, without using His legs.

Explanation of Hell! The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student. The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well : Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... .....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God over and over.' THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+. LOL +1

If I were capable of earning a living still, I'd still apply if I qualified for the program, where I live at in the Park anyone could apply for the program, all one has to do is qualify, and if I didn't qualify I would not attack someone who was not as fortunate, especially if they have physical problems.

I also read the manga known as The Nobelesse, there's one that deals with Mecha, It's Broken Blade or Break Blade, and Rygart Arrow(the Blond haired dude) who can't use ordinary mechs, so the hero uses an ancient mech that doesn't use crystal magic, both are quite good too... Note: Manga like Break Blade has some near nudity, but that's as far as they go in that direction, like a woman in chains who has been captured, and that's all She's wearing on one page.

So why not contact the manufacturer to find the correct part number - it is in their interest to provide that info and not have people rant about poor product support. Many manufacturers actually publish the main parts list so the right parts can be ordered. Then of course you have the original main board in which case you should be able to read the number off that? As I said some months ago check with the manufacturer for compatibility before you spend another cent. It will turn on, and if I had the original main board in it, except for the led backlighting not working, which is controlled by the main board, the TV does works. I already went to Samsung's website, only 3 main boards are compatible, since I've already listed the 3, I won't do that again. Samsung is the manufacturer.

And yes I'll post some pics, plus I usually get something for Xmas from My relatives, yes I do know what it is, but you do not. And yes thanks to some local friends and My car, I now have 1/2 a tank of gas, and I will get some help from My relatives if I need it to get home. Since the TV is not broken, and I was sold 2 incompatible mainboards for the TV, cause the seller thought wrongly that a 46" mainboard would work in a 55" TV, well Samsung afterwards said they do not. But then you don't know what you are talking about...

Part VI (Message 1907738) Posted 17 Dec 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Hi Mike, as one that grew up in the 50's/60's I remember the Bader Meinhof terror group, and yes it was terrifying at the time. We also remember the Greek Cypriot EOKA guerrillas that fought a campaign for the end of British rule in Cyprus in the 50's. Its more the media that make things worse and the lack of interest of the parents. Yes and no. The Media have to make a living the same as everyone else. And the more lurid the headlines the more they sell, which in a way helps terrorist groups to spread their message of hate. But at the same time the public need to be warned about their safety, a difficult balance to get right. Lack of interest of the parents is a real minefield. I can still remember the time of Family Planning Clinics, long gone I think. People got married first and planned when to have children so that they first had a home and could afford to bring them up. But these days how many people enter into a relationship with no particular intention of producing offspring? Then Saturday night after the pub, ooops, one on the way. So they go along with it and maybe get married later under family pressure. Could that explain the lack of parental interest in some cases? Kids are at home playing playstation or XBox, using twitter and facebook or Whattsapp instead of going out playing with other kids. The parents view could be at least if they are home, they aren't out getting into trouble. And how many % of parents a generation apart would understand what the kids get up to in their bedroom anyway? Also i don`t think it was easier to have children after WW2. Well the Post War Bulge would tend to disagree with you :-)) Yeah I remember about the RAF, or the Red Army Fraction, I looked them up online in the wiki, their last event, was in 2015, and they've been identified too, DNA and such. I've never had any children, so I won't, can't say anything on this. As to the bulge, here that's been referred to as the Baby Boom, I was born in 1960, so I guess that makes Me a Boomer.

I seem to recall that the last one was "going to be the cure", and it was the wrong one, then there was the internal IR (remote) lead, and wasn't there a PSU some time ago.... That TV has been a real money pit, and there is no guarantee that the mother board will be the cure, even if you get the right one from Samsung... However I do understand your desire to get the thing working, but just now you don't have either the money, or the diagnostic skills to do so. I think I've spent less than $99 so far, not much of a pit, 2 of 3 parts are right, and good too. The 2 main boards for the 46" TV are ok, I think the reason a fair number of sites think they're interchangeable, is cause they look alike, but for some reason, a main board for a 46" tv won't work in a 55", doesn't make sense to Me, but then I'm missing some knowledge as to the why, shopjimmy.com lists all sorts of alternates, most I suspect would do no better than what I have now, asking Samsung might get a, "that's a trade secret" response out of them, so I just have to wait.

He was required to do a community service project. He organized work parties to clear an over-grown trail in the Sierra foothills. He and his team worked many days on this project. The son of a family friend also was required to do a community service project to become an Eagle Scout. He organized the construction of special playground equipment in a park. The equipment was intended to be used by all children, but it was designed to be especially inclusive for children with special physical needs. The Eagle Scout raised funds to pay a contractor to make sure the structures built were safe, but the Eagle Scout did all the planning and project management himself, and he and a team of helpers did much of the construction work. It is not easy to become an Eagle Scout these days and I am so impressed with both of these young men and the service they have provided to their communities. I don't know if there is a girl scout equivalent of Eagle Scout, but I sure hope there is! The closest the GSA has is the Gold Award, at least according to this site Here, which I searched for using part of your last sentence Angela. The Gold Award and Eagle Scout are roughly comparable on the "merit" level -- but, the Gold Award has much less value on the "demonstrative"/recognizability sid. Putting the boys-achievements-get-more-recognition-than-girls issue completely aside, a lot of this is due to major PR blunders on the part of the Girl Scouts, including: (1) Eagle Scouts have always been Eagle Scouts -- which has built up a history with the award; however, Girl Scouts have changed the name of Gold Award many times, and the name (if not the program) is pretty new. and (2) Eagle Scouts are something you become. The Boy Scouts publicize and promote the idea the being an Eagle Scout is a lifelong part of who you are. The Gold Award, on the other hand, is something you earned (i.e., in the past).

I still think they should chuck in free balancing with a new tyre. I bought the tires online for about $44-48 each, the 4 Sentury 185/60x15 tires on the car are all made for Discount Tire Warehouse, I've been told the ride is smooth, so the place that did the mounting and balancing is not obligated to replace something like that, just mounting and balancing. The full size spare has a New rim that had no valve stem installed, so of course they installed one, along with the tire itself.

I could not swim, and to become an Eagle Scout, one would need to know how to swim, My dad moved us too much, and the last place He moved us to, had no pool anywhere nearby, but then He couldn't swim, and He suffered from sea sickness(motion sickness today), My mom had enrolled Me in a YMCA swimming class, but soon enough dad moved us, mom gave up after that.

Wow! High altitude cooking is tricky stuff. Boiling water isn't the same temperature up there and anything baked in an oven needs some adjustments. Years ago I made a friend's wedding cake in a cabin at Lake Tahoe (also around 6000 ft. of altitude). The cakes all came out fine, but thank goodness for whipped cream frosting! It hides lots of imperfections, and it tastes good too. What you can't hide with frosting, you can always hide with some strategically placed wrapped bundles of spray-free flowers. I've made 5 wedding cakes in my life - a practice cake which I fed to my family, a cake for my friend Annemarie and her husband Rob, a cake for my friend Louis and his wife Colleen, a cake for my friend Linde and her husband Bob and a cake for my friend Maryellen and her husband Mario. All four couples are still happily married and they all have beautiful children. (I'm sure all that is because of the cakes...)

No, they didn't specify, most Men back then in My experience at least, couldn't even wash dishes, much less boil water...

Since you've found a USB hub for about $5, and only appear to need two or three HDMI inputs why not give up on that Samsung and just be content with the TCL you've got that works and save yourself money, sweat, time and the hassle of swapping the board yet again? The usb hub is for a laptop here, it has 2 ports, 1 of which is full, which is why I've done nothing besides leave it plugged in to power. Why bother with the Samsung TV? Well this time I do know what I'm after, if the seller sells Me a board that is not as described, I can get a refund, I'm covered, or I can get one from Amazon, where the seller is paid only after the buyer leaves feedback, Amazon also has a similar policy to ebay on not as described, though $130.44 is more than maybe $90.00 or so. Plus I don't want to junk a TV where I put in a new internal cable and a psu board, plus time and painful effort.

Obviously if you want any of the fancy ones (metal stems, or pretty colours etc.) then they are a few quid more. The Valve Stem includes labor for the install, I could buy 4 for $1.00, but who would install them?

(not forgetting that there are HDMI splitters and combiners (switches) available at sensible prices) Well it took just a few seconds to find that the working TCL has a maximum energy consumption of 130W, whereas Samsung don't publish anything other than the standby power for the broken one. Given the apparent design of the two are so similar (based on the pictures you have already posted) I would be very surprised if the broken Samsung is significantly different to the working TCL. TCL Direct LED 3 HDMI 1 USB Samsung Edge Lit LED 4 HDMI 3 USB I found or rather I had ebay do a search for a main board for a BN94-04358P and one for a BN94-04358G, the P search came back with a hit, there is one for $99.99 w/FREE shipping, and that includes a Best Offer too, I've got $3.64 in ebay bucks, plus a Best Offer of $90.00 and I'd have the TV fixed. I do know of another main board that is available, it's a BN94-05038G, 2 are available for $114.00 w/FREE shipping, and yes Best Offer too, also the BN94-05038G is available on Amazon for $129.95+4.99 shipping, total cost $134.44. I did find a BN94-04358P on Amazon, but at just over $300.00, I'm not interested. The reason the last two boards didn't make the Samsung work, is cause they(BN94-04358C) is for a UN46D TV, Samsung only lists 3 main boards for the UN55D6050TFXZA, BN94-04358G, BN94-04358P, and the BN94-05038G, the seller listed the last two boards(BN94-04358C) as being compatible with the UN55D6050, which clearly is not the case.

The Samsung has 4 HDMI(If I had to keep it, the only thing not working is the mainboard, everything else is good, the LCD screen is edge lit by LEDs on the Samsung, Direct LED on the TCL), the TCL has 3 HDMI, and I have a HDMI to DVI adapter saved on Amazon, and I have seen one that goes the other way of course, but I didn't save that, since I was thinking of turning a spare DVI monitor into a spare TV with an ATSC digital converter box, and some new 2.1 speakers, My current speakers need some work to fix some cold soldering, every once in while the speakers here go out on either the right, left, or both channels, but a tap with a phillips screwdrivers and they work again, not bad for DOS era speakers and a 3.5mm stereo plug, I've had these speakers since about 1990.

There are some very good adaptors that will convert VGA to HDMI, or HDMI to VGA, or VGA to a-DMI, or a-DMI to to VGA - the most recent one I bout (HDMI out to VGA monitor) cost less than Â£20, say $25, and it worked straight out of the box (I also have on that goes the other way which likewise worked straight out of the box and cost about the same). No I'm not worrying, I have 2 monitors, so why worry? I just mentioned the Samsung has a VGA input, nothing more was implied.

It depends on how much I'd charge, for a refurbished HD TV/1920x1080p Monitor, and how much the market does. I have sold stuff there before, so I do know something.

You told us that the only reason you were repairing the old TV in the first place was to sell it in January to buy a 1060 card. if its going to cost $120 plus repair costs you'd be better off junking it and buying the card direct. Your car needs fixing first. It's no good listing out all your needs/wants/likes. You were advised after you poured 50 2L bottles of MD down the drain plus many dozens of Doritos bags in the trash for an online auction, that claiming poverty yet again wouldn't get you much sympathy, Xmas notwithstanding. We all know what is in your house and what your diet is without visiting you, because you post pictures of the interior, and also details of what you are having for lunch or tea. Perhaps your short term memory loss is letting you forget that. But all your posts are still there from 2003 onwards for anyone to look up to check. Nobody has the right to TELL you how to spend your money, but if you choose to publish details of your life on a public website, open to 5 billion adults, then you have to accept people commenting. I'm waiting on the TV, so right now it's not taking up much space, I thought I could get the TV done Myself, like I did on 2 monitors I have here. Then what did I have after dinner? As to poverty, it's not like bags of this or that are refundable, and I did get an Xbox One X for less than retail, and it is useful, blu-ray if nothing else. Maybe I would like to, if it were functioning, I am a bit of a ways from everything here, like at least 100 miles for someone to drive, then at least that much back. I could sell and have made preparation to sell an aquarium, not that I used it, it held water when I bought it, I just vacuumed it once, still I don't know if anyone will come out here, it's a gamble, currently I can only make preparations at the moment, ebay will bill a persons account.

However, sadly, this does not always happen, and not all damage is visible - a few years ago I had a pair of expensive Wolfrace rims that were porous, and after much toing and froing I got the whole set replaced with even more expensive Minilites (which were the one's I wanted but in the first place bout couldn't afford...) Moving on to your TV woes - you might actually get more selling the bits "for spares and repairs" than trying to sell the whole thing in working order - you've been burnt by a few parts that were sold as "working", but have been DOA. At least getting rid of the bits would give you a little bit of cash. GPUs - experience with the 10xx series of cards is that they run much cooler than any of the earlier series (with the possible exception of the justly famed 750/750ti), so water cooling is an "expensive, unnecessary luxury". For example: On one of my rigs, changing the pair of GTX970 for a pair of GTX1070ti has reduced the case internal temperature by about 10C, and the case ambient by a similar amount (ambient even at this time of year was around 35C, and is now down to about 28C). Budget - a wish list is a great thing to have, I have one (new boat, new car, four rigs with triple or quad 1080ti......) But we all have to consider essentials before wish list: food, housing costs & repairs, fuel and the like all come before the wish list items - even on my income I can't buy everything I want to, and I do know what it's like being on a seriously restricted income (less than half of yours). Some read your list of "things to buy" and see it as a list of "things I need to buy", not the two separate lists it really is, so be a little more careful in how you present things and some folks might not get so upset when they see it is actully two lists.... 2 lists? I only put up 1 link, supposedly to 1 list, with 47 items, weird. That's a good point, I don't know why on My end it shows as one.

No, except for the new spare and new rim I doubt they were, and the left front has always given Me problems. New rim is the spare. Could be the valve then! Well I had 2 other tires changed, this rim, I'll check into it, but I'm almost broke, selling My aquarium is something I have wanted to do, but finding everything is hard, and being way out here, well it would be local pickup only, and unless someone wants to drive at least 100 miles, I don't have the confidence in that, not right now, since the bank account has only $13.25, and ebay might bill Me before I'd be ready to pay, and that money was part of My gasoline travel budget of $23.00, now mostly depleted, and I've left a message already stating that I may not be coming for Xmas to My relatives... Going to town will use 25 miles worth of gasoline, about 1 US gallon. Air will have to do, I'd attach an air pump for a car, but I don't have one, too many things to fix, chasing too little income(no matter what, it would be a small speedup if other problems weren't there, not enough to matter), the 1990's sofa/recliner is broken(I looked at a love seat/bed, not foam based, as a replacement), My 2004 gas range has 1 of 4 burners dead(electronic ignition), 3 new windows are needed(put off for years), new breakers and 1 outlet need replacing, 2 toilet fill valves, and a garbage disposal need installing, new rear struts need installing, new bushings for the car need to be bought and installed, the rare zx-2 drivers seat needs work(2yr only model), the PC needs a new Asus 1060 Strix video card to replace a PNY LC 580 video card(good at making heat, and slow to update, and makes My PC heavier to lift, the LC means Liquid Cooled, and being I have a dislocated right shoulder with OA there, it's now almost too heavy for Me to lift, but to some Me being online, owning a home and/or a car is an affront, I can't rent an apartment, that is beyond My meager income), I need a newer clothes washer and gas dryer(mine will not dispense liquid softener, it was not designed to do so either, and is nearly 30 years old, the dryer squeaks if I don't keep a heavy box on top of it), and technically I need 2 new elongated toilets and rubber ring kits, the current toilets are round and I can't clean them or get down on My knees(not since before I was 12yrs old, too painful since My height increased when I was 12yrs old, I was skinny then, to those naysayers, please don't say I wasn't skinny, I have a family pic online, I'm in it), a new ladder would not hurt(I can't change a few lights, 500lb capacity would do)... And that is what I can think of off hand.

A replacement main board like My original is about $105.00 w/shipping, it's a BN94-04358 like the original. But right now that is impossible, so the Samsung UN55D6050TF is staying dead for a while. I have a tire problem on My left front, I need to take the car into town and get the air raised and checked in all 4 tires on Monday, the left front is low, and I can't do that today, the place I go to is closed today. This tire has always leaked, I may need a different stock 15x5.5" Ford zx2 aluminum rim, the rim is refurbished, they're not cheap either, not at $140.89, and that is the lowest price too, 65% off the ad says. And that does not include the cost of possibly removing the tire, and remounting and balancing, if that is possible. There goes My gasoline, I'm already down to $13.25, Xmas is looking more and more impossible.

In any case The Samsung UN55D6050TF had a pad fall off, I picked it up and stuck it back on, if it falls again, I'll take the other off, and see about those black aluminum heatsinks, that are around here somewhere, and see if I can apply them directly or not. In the meantime I installed a surge suppressor in the bedroom in the nearest outlet to the Samsung TV.

My friend lives in a hotel room, and gets a pension of $300, in addition to the $300 from SS, and of course it has no kitchen, so eating out or using a microwave oven would be a must possibly, the room rent is $500 a month.

The Dr. Told me that most people that have one are born with it. And a lot of folks never know they have one. Your health problems are not related to a hiatal hernia. Its being obese, having arthritis , and the other maladies you have. @ Chris- having a hiatal hernia does not exclude you from military service. After I was discharged from the USAF in 1980. I wanted to join the Army Reserve in 81. I had to get copies of my x-rays on my hiatal hernia . Unless it is an extreme hernia you are able to enlist. I was able to enlist in the Army reserve. So having a hiatal hernia is not and end all to much of anything you want to do. Its other health problems that come into play. So it does not make Me gasp for breath? It does... Coughing right now.

People don't generally go into a faint from a sneezing or coughing attack. Meow. I've come close to blacking out from sneezing a few times. Everything goes really funny for a few seconds with ears ringing and a feeling of zoobing in and out of my head and occasionally my vision goes for a second. It happened while riding my bike once and was way more disconcerting than the sneeeze spray on the petrol tank, :-) Getting dizzy is one thing. Fainting dead away and waking to find yourself trying to pick yourself up off the floor is something different. Either a lack of oxygen or blood pressure dropping way too low, usually. I was coughing then too, I have a little congestion still. Which is slowly going away, as it should.

Being "beat" after doing only 6 screws? This really concerns me, you should be able to do six small screws without getting exhausted. When did you last have a "spirograph" test to see how well your lungs are working? If not in the last few weeks then its about time your doctor did one as this rapid exhaustion could be related to your recent collapse - normal coughs and colds rarely last more than a couple of weeks, and yours has been dragging on for the best part of a couple of months. It could be that your long term asthma has progressed into COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) - a transition that can be triggered by any number of things such as illness (chronic or otherwise), stress, weight.... Or it might be that your asthma has become "immune" to the control drugs (inhalers, tablets whatever) you are taking so you are due a review to make sure everything is as it should be on that front. I'm 6'1" tall, have a Hiatal Hernia since at least 3yrs old, and I have back pain when standing for more than a few minutes, but then I'm about 414lbs in weight, or about the weight of a full grown male Bengal tiger, which I think is 400lbs... I don't have COPD, My heart is ok, and is not 2 sizes too small, and My Doctor said My lungs are ok, last time I visited He said outside of some congestion, My lungs are ok, no pneumonia either.

I managed to get the old IR sensor cable off of the Samsung 55" TV, Ugh, but at least the New cable will be easy to install.

I spent 10 years vegan. It is not easy. I don't know how old your niece is or how your family works. I am sure for her she will say her own thing but as a person within a community I am sure she would also like to be completely enveloped within a cultural way of being. Have you or your family taken a year out to be vegan on her behalf? Would that bother you? :)))) How would xmas seem then? <Not meaning to be rude but it is kind of a worthy question?> (I'm not anti meat eating by the way... I just prefer not to and see it as unnecessary.) No one questions what one eats there, that is all that matters. And Yes, I do know Her age, She's 47, I'm 57. If She wants to be Vegan, that is Her choice, everyone else, would rather not, but then We're not pushy, and My immediate family, barring disease and bad luck, has a long lifespan, so I'm not worried. Xmas is not entirely about what one eats...

Under the Downpayment Assistance Program, and state law, I could get a down payment(a silent 2nd, forgivable after 5years), of up to $40,000, So you think someone is going to lend you $40,000 and then write if off after 5 years without paying a cent back?

Have you tried "cutting" some into her dry food, it may work, or it may not. If it works you've got a way of using the 19 cans of food that would otherwise go to waste. Or you just save them and serve them up to kitty again in a few months. With kitties, sometimes what is old becomes new again. Meow! Saving up the canned food, yeah I can do that, after a few days of only dry, She picked at the dried out canned food in the bowl. I might get 24 cans of the variety that She likes at My next opportunity from Amazon, since that seems to be the only place I can find it at, at least currently.

Why anyone would, I don't know. A Condo is good, since I don't have to worry about anything beyond the inside of the Condo, I speak from authority here, as I was a Condo Home Owners Association President for 2 years, aka I was the head of an HOA, the HOA board takes care of external problems, internal is the home owners problem. I inquired about the HOA fee, whether the Condo has a refrige, and a clothes washer/dryer. If I get an email or a call, I'll ask about cable while I'm at it.

Where did you get that? and a bit bigger than My place, 810sqft vs 906sqft, an increase of 96sqft. 810 sq ft to 906 sq ft = 11%. Your figures not mine. At least thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) of the amount deposited in the Self-Help Housing Fund shall be used to provide grants or forgivable loans to assist in the rehabilitation or replacement, or both, of existing mobile homes located in a mobilehome or manufactured home community. And I do know of a manufactured home area down in San Bernardino CA, where the homes and the land are sold together. The best you would get would be a small loan to upgrade your existing home on its existing site. There is no money allocated for you to buy a condo elsewhere, or another manufactured home elsewhere, whether you could afford it or not. Simple answer. Go apply for a Calhome loan now and see how much they will lend you under existing legislation, and for what purpose. Then ask how much they would lend you under the new legislation if SB3 goes through. I think you will get a shock. Your call. Under the Downpayment Assistance Program, and state law, I could get a down payment(a silent 2nd, forgivable after 5years), of up to $40,000, and yes I am a 1st time home buyer according to CalHome(a State Agency in California under California State Law), CalHome says I am, your opinion doesn't legally matter... The Bond Measure has to be voted on 1st, on November 6th 2018, so lets not get the cart before the horse on that. As you say, your call.

House prices even outstripped the salaries that the financial whizkids were earning, so Docklands flats going at Â£750K-1 mill had to have 6 or 7 times salary to afford them. Then came a world recession and a local double dip recession, and re-possessions were running into the many hundreds. Lose/lose all round. Vic has got it into his head that as someone on a low income, California is effectively going to give him a free house, with any costs written off until some indeterminate time in the future. Even if they did, he couldn't afford to run it, and a nicer house in a nicer area will incur higher property taxes. He reads into things what he wants to and won't be told any different.

5682) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1903430) Posted 29 Nov 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Vic, why have you posted 12 pictures of a condo costing $97,000 that you can't afford to buy? Have you looked into the details of this B-3 Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018? It only covers down payments and money for any needed upgrades/repairs. It might yet not get voted through, although unlikely, and you don't yet know if you are eligible. I'd have to get a moving company, and it's 82.3 miles from where I live at now, but it's 35.3-45.0 miles to My relatives place in Pomona, and a bit bigger than My place, 810sqft vs 906sqft, an increase of 96sqft. $97,000 for an increase of just over 11%? No I don't have $800.00, I have $2.61 now. Well I'm broke until the 1st, so far. You couldn't even afford the moving costs. In addition you would need to get a loan or mortgage for the rest of the cost. But there is a limit on how much you can borrow under the scheme. The fair market rent, which indicates the amount of money that a given property would require if it were open for leasing, for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,386. To afford this level of rent and utilities, without paying more than 30 percent of income on housing, a household must earn an hourly â€œhousing wageâ€ of $26.65 per hour. This means that a person earning minimum wage must work an average of three jobs to pay the rent for a two-bedroom unit. In some areas of the state, these numbers are even higher. That means that any housing loan under SB3 can not exceed 30% of income. Â£270 a month will NOT buy you a house. There are further documents I have seen laying it out further. With the outgoings you already have on existing loans and credit cards, you simply cannot afford any more money on a further loan. Responsible authorities will not lend people money they cannot sensibly afford to pay back as they will only end up in a default situation with re-possession costs. Many years ago the Building Society rules in the UK were 3 x your salary and 1/2 your wife's for the maximum loan. Similar sensible restrictions. Before you call me a liar and I don't know what I'm talking about check it out for yourself. Mind you this is just something to talk about Oh I see. This isn't the UK, and at present I don't have the moving costs, there fixed that. It needs a good down payment, that if you've read My post, means a Bond Measure has to pass, Voters have a good track record on that here, and that is SB-3, not as you put it, since you repeat a passage as conditions are now, so another misstatement shot down. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (d) California is home to 21 of the 30 most expensive rental housing markets in the country, which has had a disproportionate impact on the middle class and the working poor. California requires the third highest wage in the country to afford housing, behind Hawaii and Washington, D.C. The fair market rent, which indicates the amount of money that a given property would require if it were open for leasing, for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,386. To afford this level of rent and utilities, without paying more than 30 percent of income on housing, a household must earn an hourly â€œhousing wageâ€ of $26.65 per hour. This means that a person earning minimum wage must work an average of three jobs to pay the rent for a two-bedroom unit. In some areas of the state, these numbers are even higher. It's obvious you quoted the wrong area of the Law, Chris S, your quoted the Declarations... And 11%? Where did you get that? In London? This isn't the UK, last I looked California is a part of the US, not the UK, CA has never been a part of the UK, the US broke away in 1776... Do you want to try again?

On My previous post, the Condo has a gas range, oops, missed that. One last big post on the TV... Ok I have some good news, My missing Magnavox VHS/DVD remote control, is no longer missing, YAY! I'd placed it on an open box, on top of an envelope, and a shipping box from the DOA main board got piled on top of that, daylight helped. So I just need to replace that DOA main board for $44.75 total in December, and the Samsung UN55D6050TFXZA will be repaired, since a New Other IR sensor cable is on the way, that cost $14.00, instead of $15.95, the old TV can access youtube, but the "new"(Refurbished) tv doesn't seem to be able to do that, and the new main board will have some sort of passive heatsink to cool the chip with, at least that is what I get from the seller, since without that, the chip slowly burns out, and the main board is built with a heatsink in mind, it has 4 holes around the main chip. And on the new TV, I think I've made as much physical adjustments as I can, the TV is 30lbs, the TV and the stand is somewhere between 40-50lbs, that is a bit harder to move than just the TV. The one thing this new tv lacks is component video input, for the moment I'll use the composite video and audio input, Amazon sells a Component to HDMI converter box that does upscaling, but that would need a short 3' component cable, and I do have an hdmi cable, I'll have to buy another hdmi cable when the Xbox One X gets here, I think, possibly sometime in February 2018, I'm being told to be patient on the email for the Xbox One X, quite a few are winning this, about 10,000 or so, that's a lot to keep track of, and give away to the auction winners, some asked why I couldn't go and win a few more, it doesn't work that way, one Xbox One X is all anyone is allowed to win, yep just 1, that's the main rule. So this is as low as the TV stand will go, and the TV picture is very sharp.

(2017-2018) will pass with the Voters here in CA on November 6, 2018, it's a Statewide Ballot(Bond) Measure. $1 Bn for Vets, and $3 Bn for those who qualify, covers down payments and money for any needed upgrades/repairs. I'd have to get a moving company, and it's 82.3 miles from where I live at now, but it's 35.3-45.0 miles to My relatives place in Pomona, and a bit bigger than My place, 810sqft vs 906sqft, an increase of 96sqft. Mind you this is just something to talk about, Real Estate comes and goes, though how fast varies, in Real Estate it's location, location, location. This place has been up online for sale for 32 days. And the House Style: Mediterranean, Master bedroom is on the ground floor... Fits a stackable washer/dryer, I wonder does the place have a gas range and refrigerator too? Neither is mentioned... A place like this would only need Me to move in and to pay for utility deposits, and being a Condo it has an HOA fee, how much that is, is not spelled out. At least the Condo is on the ground, has a garage, and a parking space, I've no idea if Cable is there either, currently the price has a holiday buyer special of $93,000.00, otherwise the price is $97,000.00. Cash buyer Holiday special deal $93,000. 2 Bedroom with 2.25 bath. New remodeled down stairs condo. New paint, new laminate wood floor. Crown molding. The fireplace in the living room. Laundry area in the hallway that fits a stack-able washer and dryer. Balcony with sliding glass door off the dining room area to enjoy lounging outside. Unit comes with a one car garage and one assigned parking space. Location has convenient access to 10, 210 and 215 Freeways Property taxes, school bonds, vector control, and fire is $1,181.14 a year or about $98.43 a month.

There are laws, but the courts are the ones with jurisdiction, and that means a lawyer, My friend would have had to prove it in court, and any decision can be appealed, since no agencies are tasked for employment discrimination on a 1 to 1 scale. There are efforts to shutdown the CFPB, cause it helps consumers, banks hate it, and credit reporting agencies probably aren't fond of it either, Dodd-Frank states the person in charge can designate their successor until the Senate confirms someone, but trump thinks He can just appoint someone, the law is clear, He doesn't care.

I have a friend who went and got an education, who now has college debt, this friend is older than I am, and now lives in Nebraska, why? No one would hire this person, this person was told you're too old, employers wanted someone who'd be around longer than a year or two, and who isn't near or at retirement age, here that means a drawn out lawsuit, companies have money and time on their side, so the person is back on SSDI, living far away from Me in another state, instead of next door to Me. The park owns the friends mobile home after evicting the person that it was given to(a hot head), dumb idea, it's a wreck inside now I'm told, since people broke in and water from rain got inside, but My friend thought there would be a well paying job with a degree, well that did not happen, Me I played it safe, I'll probably never hear from My friend ever again.

Oh Christmas is nice enough, I suppose, but it is certainly no Halloween!!! Exactly!!! We basically followed their example. But over here there is much more of a charitable sense to it. All the displays of fruit and food in local churches and schools go to needy people, and specific collections of food are usually held which are then given to local charities which help the homeless and those in need. Chris, there is a great deal of charity here as well. Thanksgiving is the one day of the year it is difficult to go hungry in the USA because so many churches and social groups serve free dinners. Food and monetary donations to food pantries spike around Thanksgiving, because people tend to be more aware of poverty and homelessness this time of year. I thought you loved Xmas, I'm sorry about that. Yes a lot of people do get fed, My friend Maryann and I went to a catholic church and had a delicious turkey dinner there, even our Post Master Hope was helping there, We'd be hopeless without Her here, James, Maryann's husband couldn't make it this year, His left arm was bothering Him too much, and His left hand is nearly useless.

It doesn't matter what the SSA says, it matters what you can or can't do. You won't let any of us tell you what to do, so why do you let them? Look I am not able bodied, Ok? There is a difference, the SSA knows My physical and mental condition intimately, you do not, and then say out of ignorance, what amounts to "get a job". I live in a manufactured home that I own since late 2006, and own a car, both are mine, I owe nothing on either one. Before late 2006, I'd be lucky if I had $50.00 a month extra, I had no credit cards or anything. Not everyone can work, to say that I should get a job, speaks of Ableism to Me, and ignorance too. I can't stand for long, I can walk with difficulty, I use a cane to help go up and down steps, I use a mart cart at the store, I have 3 dislocations, hips and right shoulder, Osteo Arthritis since I was at least 40, I have bad ankles from surgery and from a fall, I have 3 titanium screws in My lower left leg, cause in 2002 I broke that leg, and dislocated both hips, damaged both knees and My right ankle, the left was twisted to the left and right to install those 3 screws, I took several months to heal up, My life was ruined, since it was a for profit hospital that did the deed, and tried to make Me pay $16,000.00, and would not let Me go to another Hospital, I was lied to and the nurse said I'd be allowed to call My brother as soon as I signed on the dotted line for who would pay, She let the pain of My broken leg resurface, I was strapped to a gurney, it's called torture for a reason, I did sign under protest, then I was whisked into surgery for 2 hours, I never paid, how could I? I had no income until 2003, I got SSI, I've lived on My own since July 2004, they only accept their own insurance, not even My brother wanted to go there He said, He had Tricare(Retired USN) and that sorry excuse for a Hospital would not honor that, He's been gone since 2005, dead, He died 2 weeks after I last saw him, cancer and emphysema, and I have the scars on My left ankle on both sides to prove it too(gorey enough for you?), they can be painful, if I use My right ankle too much, the right ankle almost locks up, I'm 6'1" tall, have lower back pain, severe anxiety, concentration problems, which is short term memory, I was coming home from a trip, I should have taken the 60E, instead I took the 71S looking for a non existent 60N, I had to get off the 71, and find the 60E on ramp to get home, I wasted 3 miles of gas I think, I have part of My stomach above My diaphragm since I was 3yrs old, it's that thing that allows one to breathe, so I tire easy now that I'm older than 50, bad eyesight, at least My prostate surgery went alright, no cancer, I have not worked since about 1992, I'm 57 now, I weigh 414lbs currently, oh and all this is reality and is backed by an MRI, a Cat scan, X-rays, and no lawyers or attorneys were used in getting a meager check.

Not everyone can work, I'm not lazy, which is spouted mainly those who are either bigoted or somewhat ignorant, no offense meant, just a statement, I don't think anyone here is bigoted, at least I hope not, if I were lazy I would not have done anything, the stand I bought would not have had the 3 loose feet glued on with Super Glue, right now I'm coughing and trying not to sweat, yet some think I should get a job, I expect that crap from some stupid Americans, like some of My distant French cousins might say, and from what I've read in the past they have said, but from outside America? I can even expect that from trump, but that goes without saying... http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/ And this is just a sample, some accuse people of getting generous checks, I'd hardly call the max SSI gives out every month as Generous, $895.72 a month in 2017, in 2018 this becomes $909.72 I think, I won't know the exact amount for about a month or so, America does have a problem, people are getting older and sicker, I have My last will made out, that's how bad it is, all I get is Medi-Cal(Medicaid outside California), Denti-Cal, and prescriptions for glasses from Vison-Cal, just the prescription, not the glasses, though the ground work for restoring that is laid for 2020 full funding of Vision-Cal, which means I'll be able to get some new prescription eyeglasses, without spending a kings ransom, at first such an idea made sense, then the prices of frames and lenses skyrocketed back in 2009, and here We are in 2017, part of the SSP part of SSI in CA was cut in 2009(SSP is the State Supplemental Payment), I went from $907.00 for 2 months on May 1st 2009 to $870.00 a month for the rest of 2009, the SSP for years from May 2009 stayed at $156.40, and was raised one time to $160.72 a month. I'll be able to get My teeth worked on in 2018. For the second time I had to dig around in My pants pocket for the right lense, it had popped out, yes I put it back in the frame. Some also think people who get SSI are leaches, and thieves, neither is true, though narrow minded people thin k it would be cheaper, just house them in prison, make them work, that's called Forced Labor, Arbeit Macht Frei, sound familiar? It should, it means "Work Makes you Free", it was above the gates to a forced labor camp where people were worked as slaves, to death by the Nazi's, that's how they made all the Me-262 jets, V1 and V2 rockets, etc, etc, etc... I still can't get SNAP(CalFresh) cause of a state policy known as Cash Out, which has been in place since 1974, unchanged, $10.00 a month is given out in lieu of SNAP benefits, the state average in 2017 is $135.99 a month, I know of one person who last I looked was homeless, He was an ex-con, He got $160.00 a month, so don't tell Me people who get SSI in CA wouldn't get anything more than $10.00, that's called shaming people, and a lie, no SSI recipient in California has ever gotten SNAP(CalFresh), ever, at one time the reason was the cost to administer, thanks to computers that cost is $0.00 or very close to zero to administer... $10.00 is a ripoff, but then like I said cheapskates run the state of California. I should be getting SNAP like in the other 49 states, but if one gets SSI in California one gets $10.00 in State Money, not in Federal Money, all California has to do is abolish said policy, and do what the USDA wants, as the USDA does with the other 49 States... And yes some who do work get SNAP, though when wages rise that is supposed to taper off. Right now My right side is hurting some, that's part of one of My two Hernia's, one is in My left ribcage, the other is My stomach and possibly part of My intestines being above My diaphragm, I've had this problem I was told since I was 3 years old, it's not from excessive lifting, 3 year olds do not lift much, it has never been corrected, I'm told to take antacids... The federal government spends more money each year on cash payments for disabled former workers than it spends on food stamps and welfare combined. Yet people relying on disability payments are often overlooked in discussions of the social safety net. The vast majority of people on federal disability do not work.[1] Yet because they are not technically part of the labor force, they are not counted among the unemployed. In other words, people on disability don't show up in any of the places we usually look to see how the economy is doing. But the story of these programs -- who goes on them, and why, and what happens after that -- is, to a large extent, the story of the U.S. economy. It's the story not only of an aging workforce, but also of a hidden, increasingly expensive safety net. For the past six months, I've been reporting on the growth of federal disability programs. I've been trying to understand what disability means for American workers, and, more broadly, what it means for poor people in America nearly 20 years after we ended welfare as we knew it. Here's what I found. There's no diagnosis called disability. You don't go to the doctor and the doctor says, "We've run the tests and it looks like you have disability." It's squishy enough that you can end up with one person with high blood pressure who is labeled disabled and another who is not. I talked to lots of people in Hale County who were on disability. Sometimes, the disability seemed unambiguous. "I was in a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo," Dane Mitchell, a 23-year-old guy I met in a coffee shop, told me. "I flipped it both ways, flew 165 feet from the Jeep, going through 12 to 14,000 volts of electrical lines. Then I landed into a briar patch. I broke all five of my right toes, my right hip, seven of my vertebrae, shattering one, breaking a right rib, punctured my lung, and then I cracked my neck." Other stories seemed less clear. I sat with lots of women in Hale County who told me how their backs kept them up at night and made it hard for them to stand on the job. "I used to cry to try to work," one woman told me. "It was so painful." People don't seem to be faking this pain, but it gets confusing. I have back pain. My editor has a herniated disc, and he works harder than anyone I know. There must be millions of people with asthma and diabetes who go to work every day. Who gets to decide whether, say, back pain makes someone disabled? As far as the federal government is concerned, you're disabled if you have a medical condition that makes it impossible to work. In practice, it's a judgment call made in doctors' offices and courtrooms around the country. The health problems where there is most latitude for judgment -- back pain, mental illness -- are among the fastest growing causes of disability.

One place that a friend and family live in has an exterior wall section that has something other than the siding of a double wide mobile home in place, it's what one would find as skirting beneath a home, vents and all, plus a door that is not as tall as either door on My place, you'd have to duck to go in and out, and the place is OLD, rents were raised once, the money went in someones pocket is the thought around here, if rents were raised again, the park would die, since the very last tenants would leave, only the residents would be left, our places are too old to be accepted in any other park, mine is too narrow by state law(revised after I bought My place in 2006, so My place can not go on its own land, people who have homes built on site were responsible for this, in which case My place is a worthless park model now, and I was not compensated for this loss by the state of California. I think there are about 20-30 places that are occupied in the park, and one burned out hulk to be demolished, after the current one the park is tearing down finally gets demolished, and that one has taken months to do, and the demo is not close to being done yet, maybe in another year the demo will be done on the current place that is being demoed.

In the UK on older houses we use the incoming gas or water pipes as earthing points, the more modern houses and flats with plastic services use a separate earth spike. It also appears that the neutral earthing system is in use in the USA and Canada, more info here. LV earthing. All I can say is that I'm glad I live in the UK with proper 3 pin plugs and sockets and earthing. Earthing (UK) and grounding (US) are the same thing. The only return UK have is through the moist earth/dirt/soil. In US we have a neutral hard wire that is connected to earth/dirt/soil and back to the distribution system's common neutral/ground. Earth/dirt/soil/grounded/bonding/neutral are all at the same potential because of the hard wire inter connection. The US is hard wired to system neutral/ground. UK relies on a good galvanic response from moist earth/dirt/soil for the return. US prefers wire, UK uses moist earth/dirt/soil. It took three ground rods to get a good ground at Kittyman's. Multiple layers of safety. If system neutral opens there is still a return path through moist dirt and vise verse earthing fails there is still a hard wire return. Some areas of US only need one rod (my wet Washington State), other require several (dry climate). Lifting a UK un-bond wire off a gas line can cause an electrical spark/arc/electrocution, why UK has warning signs on ground bondings. The US doesn't have or need warnings on bonding wires. Electrical distribution systems in the US are mostly a three/four (single phase/three phase) wire Open/Closed Wye circuit, where UK uses two/three (single phase/three phase) wire Open/Closed Delta circuit . The US depends on a hard wire for return where UK depends on moist earth/dirt for return. As a forty year electrical worker (IBEW 483, working batteries to 500KV hot) I prefer hard wire over moist dirt galvanic responses any day. I remember the phone system from the 60s in UK. Same principle, UK moist dirt/earth for return vs. US's hard wire return. Here the "soil" is Caliche, it doesn't drain too well, so it's moist below the top 1" of "soil", so I have 1 rod in the soil too. The "soil" here is so bad, that most plants drown in it.

It's similar, but not exactly the same, in any case I figured out if I bought the following, I'd not need any filler plates: 5-15A Dual-SP(BD-1520), 1-15A Single-SP(BR-115/ac), 1-50A dual ganged DP breaker Eaton BR type(BR-235), and screws. Now Dual just means two breakers in one, and single is just that, both have the same width, I'd thought the BR115 would do for the window ac here, the others would replace all but the two 20A breakers, and I'd have two new 15A breakers/circuits. If that is possible electrically, and I don't know that it is or not, the 100A main breaker is as large as I can go here, plus I can't move My place to its own land in CA, even if I had the money, since My unit was made into a park only model by the State Legislature a few years back, and it's too old for any other park, so here it stays, and I'm not rich enough to buy the park, not even close... I added up all the amps in the breakers that I do have, and that's 180A total, and that does not include the 100A main breaker. Except for the 20A breakers which have 12/3 wiring, the rest of the place has 14/3 wiring, though the furnace might be different, since that is a 50A breaker, new or old.

How unpleasant do you want to make the punishment, and how strong the deterrent. In theory, prison is supposed to be a place of reflection, contrition and rehabilitation. The reality of prison life, however, is probably not that in most cases. Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is an unfortunate necessity that I think should rarely be exercised. Sentencing someone to this fate is a public reminder of our collective shame because it is essentially saying: "We don't know how to help you, and we do not expect to know how to help you for the remainder of your years. You have lost the right to walk freely among us because, untreated, you are a threat to our safety. You were convicted of terrible things, but we have also failed you." Peace on Earth.

5781) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1902384) Posted 22 Nov 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Vic, Looking at the picture of your board - it would appear that all the breakers are "on" - I realise this picture is old, and so the status may well have changed since the picture was taken. That aside, there appears to be a bar connecting the two "blue" breakers" on the right - is this the case, or is it an optical illusion? - if it is a bar then it might be that those four breakers actually operate on the same set of circuits, just providing an additional current capacity to a group of circuits (this was a common practice all over the place until the mid 1990s). Such practice is now frowned on universally as there have been far too many incidents where the circuit should have tripped, but one breaker has dropped and the other has welded. As to how breakers work - there are two main ways: - Thermal - there is a bi-metallic strip in there that gets hot (well, not really that hot) and releases a mechanical latch, so the breaker drops out; - Magnetic, a small electromagnet is arranged so it releases a mechanical latch when the breaker goes into over-current. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and both "age", and that's a problem (I could write a book about the issues of aging in circuit breakers). Depending on the exact construction of the breaker so aging can result in the breaker dropping out early or late - early is better. By dint of design work and materials selection more modern breakers age in a "safer" manner than many old ones. Ratings, this is a real headache. When rating a breaker there are a number of things to consider, some are very easy, like AC/DC and cable current capacity, but what about impulse breaking current, DI/DT curve and so on. Fortunately in the domestic market most of these have been taken care of by the national standards bodies, so it's just a case of going to the catalogue and choosing a breaker with the right current rating for the load class (resistive/inductive/capacitive). A quick look in a couple of US catalogues shows that you can get single phase 110v/60Hz beakers up to 60A, and phase summing breakers up to 200A - more than enough for your needs! (Not forgetting of course that your incoming supply is only rated at 100A, but in complete ignorance of if that is 100A/phase or 100A total....). I think in your situation the limiting factor is going to be the actual wiring in your home - wiring is expensive and intrusive to replace (unless it all runs in accessible trunking in which case it's only expensive). Given the age of your place it could be wired with plain copper, or copper clad aluminium, or plain aluminium - copper is by far and above the best, and I just hope that's what's been used. In most places the incoming mains is in an armoured cable, so it will appear to be "quite massive", but the conductors will be typically between 0.125 and 0.25 inch diameter (maybe 0.375 if folks were feeling really generous) buried in something many times that diameter. So get an electrician in to inspect the whole of your installation and then take his advice. No the pic really hasn't changed, beyond more age, and the lower red one being busted, and no it's not an illusion, that is two blue breakers con-joined as it were, so you're not seeing things. I've never personally seen anything for 110v beyond 20A, I do know 220v(two 110v lines really) goes higher. Re-Wiring, yeah that would be expensive, no doubt. Actually I have seen the armored conduit that carries the main, and I've seen the cable, small it isn't, it's a number 1 I think, the people that did the setup here had that in stock, seems to work pretty well. Sure not a problem.

And they are actually very similar to the sort of breakers we had in the UK back then. These days most re-wires and new installations are like that shown in Chris's picture. We had an "issue" with the red/blue breakers in the (LA) house - red was meant to be one phase and blue another, but somewhere or other there was a crossover and there was a room which should have been on the "red" phase according to its breaker, but was really on the "blue" phase... Those old "hynerman" style breakers were rather fragile when new, and will undoubtedly be getting worse with age. Like you I'm somewhat skeptical about the availability of spares for that box, and the price of a new box may be "scary" to you :-( Depending on the construction of the box it may be possible to replace the front plate with a more modern one which will take the more recent (and far more reliable) breakers - It is far better to have only one family of breakers, probably in two "sizes", smaller for the low current (up to about 30A or so), and larger for the main incoming 100A - Chris's photo clearly shows the more modern way of doing things with all the breakers work in one direction, the division of the board into sections with ELCBs (RCD on the labels). It is possible (but I can't read the labels to be certain) that Chris's board has three or four different breaker ratings (e.g. 10A lighting, 15A outlet circuits, 30A cooker) in the "distribution" area and a 60A or 100A incoming breaker. A word of warning - Do not be tempted to tape or jam a broken breaker "on" - if there is a fault on the fed circuit that breaker won't work properly :-( Yeah, neater, over here it seems battleship grey is the norm. I inherited all but the 20A, but yeah this is My first time with those stupid Red/Blue breakers, I'll probably have to replace the 4(Red/Blue), not to mention the 15A below them, I don't know about the other Blue ones to the left of the Red. Replacing the front plate, next time I get someone out here I'll ask. No I won't jam or what not, not interested.

Running a subfeed is ok, but that would be for an electrician here, I'm not in shape to do that anymore, I just know how to wire stuff up, breakers either work or they don't, for 110v they go up to 20A, for 220v I don't know what the top is, nor do I know how many breakers can go with a 100A main breaker, though for the Main breaker 100A is it for this place, why? Cause that is what the Park can accept, money would be needed to upgrade the park to 200A capability, and that would mean new stubs, new sub meters, lots of careful digging, conduit maybe, cabling, and a new copper cable, possibly larger than My 1.5"-2.0" aluminum cable that is between the stub and the main breaker and is about the size of ones fist. My place is about the most modern in the park too. Half the park(the B side) is from maybe the 1970's at most construction wise, (the A side) the other half is older, and could be from the 1950's, the dates are approximate.

This is an old breaker box, oh and the top beaker is the 100A main breaker, throw that breaker, and the whole house would have no power, the box was made by Slater in 1987.
5791) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1902295) Posted 22 Nov 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Vic, stop abusing folks who try to help. You say you've got three "failed" breakers, out of five - that is NOT a good situation, indeed it is a very bad situation to be in. You had an electrician in "some time ago" who did some work, but that was some time ago, presumably before the breakers broke, thus he wouldn't have seen the condition of the equipment today. Now breakers break for a number of reasons, as you are aware, sometimes they mechanically break, other times there there are internal faults, and other times there are faults in the wiring that make it look like a breaker fault. Any breaker that is mechanically broken is a safety hazard and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Any breaker that "won't hold in" for no apparent reason also needs to be investigated, it might just be a faulty breaker, or it might be something far more serious. So get an electrician in as soon as possible to replace any mechanically broken breakers and investigate the others. I know this will cost you money, but your life, Gracie's life and your home are far more important than having the latest X-box or fancy TV. Much the same goes for outlets that are worn out - I know its hard to accept that this happens, but the US mains plug and socket are not the strongest in the world, they look to be "designed to fail". As for trailing leads - they have their place, and using them to run power around your home to supply power to areas that haven't got any due to breaker faults is, in anything other than the very short term very unsafe. I have more than 5 breakers, if 5 were all I had you'd be right, but I don't, I don't remember off hand the exact number, but I do have more than 5 breakers, it's too late to take a pic and post it, so I'll try and squeeze it in on the 22nd here. The temp outside is 52F now, no way I'm going out in that, I just got My asthma under control. I do know about breakers, though our system is not like in the UK, most breakers here in this place are 15A, but not all are that size, I have two 20A 110vac breakers from about 2007-2008 that I paid to have installed, though for the furnace it has a larger 220v breaker(2 hots, each being 110v, it works, a neutral, and maybe a ground since electricians here use neutral as if were ground sometimes, that's what I have seen in some cases, lights for a long time had no ground wires, or a place to attach one), in any case on outlets I only have 1 bad one, and that outlet is near My TV, and where the coax tv cable is at.

Please allow at least 8-10 weeks (some items may take up to 16 weeks) from receipt of order for shipment of marketplace items via postal mail. Prizes won in the Sweepstakes and awarded by Auction will be shipped generally within 8-10 weeks from notification. Xbox One X has a targeted launch date of November 7, 2017; therefore, the initial shipments may be slightly delayed; please allow 12-14 weeks for delivery. You will receive a confirmation email once your item has been shipped. For more information, please review the Program Terms. And yes, I called 800-538-8327, just in case. Today I cashed in 5 bags of bottles(2 in the trunk, and 3 in the back seat) to get $14.98, $14.98 is not enough for a haircut on the 22nd, Joe's Barber Shop wants $16.00, so I would have to go to an atm, since that is all the cash I have on hand for the moment, I have to make an appointment to get a haircut, crazy. Fantastic Sams wants $17.00... Maybe a friend will want My help today or tomorrow, like they usually do. And I got My car washed, so I got something done. But a haircut wasn't in My plans earlier, spur of the moment type of thing, since I didn't think I'd have enough left over, so I have one more place to call in the morning as they're closed now, a Barber College.

If it were as bad as you say, I would have had a fire in the years from 2006-2017, none has happened in My house, I've replaced 1 used outlet with a new GFCI outlet in a bathroom, 1 light switch in a bathroom, and 1 double light switch, and I did the work, I do know My hot, neutral, and ground wires from each other, I also have a circuit tester that I bought a while back. The kitchen electrical circuit breaker that is not working is I think physically broken inside, the breaker switch stays in the middle between on and off, as the breaker switch will not go to off anymore. I'm competent at least, and considered bright by My surviving and extended family, not to mention by My deceased mom, dad and brother when they were all alive. I've had a qualified and licensed electrical contractor in here in the past that I hired, who do think installed the two 20A 110vac electrical circuits in here? I do know how to do that, but My body is not able bodied anymore, so I had hired a licensed electrical contractor. He never saw anything shorting out or such, otherwise He'd have told Me so. Shut up, you are making things up, and are looking like a LIAR, who does not know what He is talking about... I tossed out some boxes a while back, storage is a bit lacking here, but then I did not design this place. If the living room circuit were already wired to a modern 20A 110v circuit with 20A rated outlets and 12 gauge wiring all around, instead of the 14 gauge 15A circuit and such, I would not worry about putting the room a/c on its own circuit, and that could be done, but that involves parts, labor, time, and yes some money.

The TV will draw about 1.3A (running) and probably about 2A on start-up (not start from standby) The X-Box will draw about1.7A running, so about 3.5A on start-up (again, not start from standby) From memory you have suffered quite a number of power distribution issues with breakers that are damaged and outlets that are physically "not as good as they should be" - I would sorting your wiring out to the top of the list, not let it fester at the bottom while buying more "toys". A house fire for someone fully insured is bad enough, but for someone like yourself who has only limited cover it is a very bad thing to have happen - and a very large proportion of house fires are down to faulty electrical installations. The Xbox One X psu is 245w, according to the linked site that I posted in a previous post, not much of course compared to a PC, if I had to as a temp measure I could buy 1 or 2 14ga 15A 115vac(60Hz) power cords, I have a 25' version running My refrigerator, the cord doesn't even get warm, though the distance from the unused 20A 115v outlet is somewhere nearer to maybe 35' or so from the TV, I have not measured the distance, the 45' is a guess, so since 45' doesn't seem to exist, I'd need a 50' cord, Husky has one for about $32.00 before any 7.75% sales tax at the Home Depot, a like New one is on Amazon for just $28.00 total, but that will have to wait some, that would be My temp work around, My house is 60' long by comparison.

Though if I ever get a different car it'll have electric windows, since hand cranks aren't made anymore.

Well, mission accomplished, apparently. Enthusiasm of this sort makes me wish I had stock in PepsiCo. There was a carton of Mountain Dew cans in our refrigerator and I ripped apart the box looking for a code for you, but I must have purchased the carton before the contest started. There were no magic numbers there. Vic, maybe you could invite all your neighbors over for a party and maybe serve some kind of punch made from all that soda? Anyway, hope you win. It's not a contest or a raffle, it's an auction, 50 Xbox One X Consoles and games(Forza Motorsport 7(car racing), or Middle Earth: Shadow of War(aka: part of the Lord of the Rings saga) or a years worth of Game Pass(I don't know what Game Pass is, and I don't want that), these 50 are given away to the highest 50 bidders per day, every day until Jan 12th 2018. Me, I want the one that that has the game: Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Forza Motorsport 7 to Me is just another variation on a game that has been around since Pole Position back around about the 1970's debuted... And thanks Angela, some are marked on the outside, and some aren't, all the 2L Diet bottles are not marked on the label, yet on the Regular MD the label is clearly marked, both have White Caps in common, colored caps are worthless(Red, Black, Light Green, or Dark Green), sigh. After this is over I don't think I'll ever buy so much soda, sure 4 or 5 Diet MD if they are on sale, otherwise forget it, these bottles are heavy, and I barely lifted Twelve 2L bottles with My good left arm.

I think the only licensee in the US of Robotech(Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA were all reimagined into one Anime series, and Anime is not for kids, there is some female nudity in at least 3 episodes), for Movies, TV, DVD's, and Blu Ray is Harmony Gold, ADV, and/or Sony.

And yes all 3 bags, and 31 bottles, plus a shopping bag full of shopping bags fit snugly in My car trunk, it only took Me 3 trips to empty the car trunk, My left foot was bothering Me yesterday, I expect the same for tonight, maybe, but that will pass.

Hey I always wanted a 2nd TV. ;) The "new" tv is supposed to get here on Thurs Nov 23rd, hopefully I can delay that to the 24th, since the 23rd is Thanksgiving Day. In the points hunt for that Xbox One X, I'm currently at 23,400 points, I will be at 26,200 points asap, except for 1 out of 11 bottles all the rest are Diet MD, yes I'm drinking them.

Oh and I got My monitor screen cleaned, Monster makes or made a cleaner that does a good job, after that I noticed a drop in the number of bugs being attracted to My screen at night, very interesting.

Any 2 Liter Mountain Dew with a White Cap is worth 100 points. Both entered together as a pair gets another 50 points.

Now on My TV since the internal cable needs repairs, I contacted a repair place in Barstow CA, Russell VCR, they will do the repairs and come out and pickup My TV, of course that's about $120.00, that's $60 labor, $50 trip charge(hopefully both to and from their shop), and maybe $10 for parts(wire, heat shrink tubing, and some solder). And then there is the tires that I have to replace, $24.00 there, at least I already own the tires. And yes the car needs to be washed, there goes another $10. And maybe $158 to get My entry into an auction for that Xbox One X. If the tv works, after I get the replacement main board in and the soldering done, I'll get the plumbing here worked on, if not the rest will go for the following on Amazon: ViewTV AT-263 ATSC Digital TV Converter Box $35.99 HDMI to DVI, VCANDO HDMI to DVI Converter $32.99 Creative A250 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System $25.99 tax $6.32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $101.29 Why these 3 items? So that I can at least have a TV, I've got an 18-19" 16:9 DVI monitor laying around, it would be better than nothing, especially if the Samsung won't come back to life.

I never said it was your Eric K, just that some lucky dude, named Eric K, got an Xbox One X Console, and that I need to try harder. Even My name there is Victor B, that could be almost anyone, almost.

He's a busy guy. Oh and I didn't gain any weight since last time either, last time was 416, this time 414, it's their scale, not mine. On the Xbox One X, I started at 5th this morning, I'm now at 26th, and still probably going to be outbid, but the average lowest winner is now down to 27,400, and I'm still at 21,550, so who knows?

Subject to a number of exclusions we have to pay tax on the gain we realized on the sale of property. Ie: if we buy a house for $1 million and sell it for $1.5 then we would pay tax on the $0.5 million. (unless you are a married couple and lived in the house for 2 of the prior 5 years in which case you get to exclude half a million and pay no tax.)

I feel that the current value of my home is a private matter and not one I would want to discuss publicly. However the area that I live in is very much a hybrid one, ranging from Council estates to gated communities with 5 bedroom detached at Â£5 mil. Yes it is very much us and them. As far as Jefferson County, which includes the city of Louisville, Kentucky, the law says these records are indeed public domain. Even here in San Bernardino County CA, property taxes is a matter of public record, all one needs is an assessors parcel number, and one can see what someone else pays. And taxes are deductible to one extent or another on ones income tax forms, or at least it currently is, some in Congress want to change that for state, local, and property taxes.

One Stater Bros Market had the bottles on sale for $0.77ea+ 0.10 crv fee and 7.75% sales tax, they had 16 bottles, I bought them all, next time I'll see if they have more, it's that or Food4Less or Walmart, Walmart has the 250 point bags, no one else carries those @ $2.98 each. I'm close, real close, another 12,000 points and I know I'd win an auction.

What about dehydration - not good if you are suffering from any sort of kidney or bladder problems, and very often confused with other things. What about headaches, chest pains, shortness of breath - I'm sure you've mentioned some of these recently. What about difficult getting to sleep and staying asleep? Again something you've mentioned recently. The list goes on and on, and includes things like causing obesity, which also includes reducing the ability to reduce obesity - that's something you have been struggling to do for as long as long as I've known you. I forgot triggering joint pain - you are a long term joint pin sufferer, so consuming anything that may trigger joint pain is a bad move. And upsetting the insulation cycle - this is not good in anybody, insulin is a naturally occurring hormone, and disturbing the natural cycle can have all sorts of unpleasant consequences, many of which don't show for some time. I too once tried to get rid of some Doritos by dumping them into water, it was quite a shock to see how much they swelled up before I could get them to break up - I can't help thinking this is why I feel bloated after eating a small UK pack (never mind one of those large packs I saw in a fuel station shop last time I was in the US). No dehydration here. Headaches? Chest pains? I have 2 hernias, do those count, one is My left rib cage, the other is part of My stomach is above My diaphragm. I have a super hard bed and a cat. Too much movement of My right ankle and I can't walk or drive. My left ankle and leg were operated on, and the left never gets more than painful, weird. I'm not diabetic, type 1 or 2, I don't consume enough sugar. Most of what I eat is naturally low in carbs. I've got 3 bags clipped, when the stapler and it's 5000 refills gets here, they will be stapled shut, and put in a large trash bag. I got a B+ in Health Class years ago in High School, so yes I paid attention, plus I do know how to cook, if I wanted to or felt like doing so.

He was in the US Army as a Medic, rank of Corporal immediately after Basic, He served in N.Africa, Sicily, Anzio, N.France, and Occupied Germany until Oct 1946. He was recommended for 2 commendations for His paperwork on Allied and POW patients. And no I doubt He ever fired a shot once in the War, even though He did pose for a few pics wearing a sidearm, wartime censorship was in force, so He could not be seen as a Medic, even though the relatives knew what He was. He saved lives when He could, He's a hero.

Entered 1 bag(200) and 1 bottle(100) at a time yields 350 points, the extra 50 is bonus points for a combo, entering more than 2 bags at a time and/or 2 bottles yields only 50 extra points. 25 pairs x 350 = 8,750 points + 14,150 would yield 22,900 points, somewhere nearer to 39,000 points will yield a box, yeah some are evidently doing that, I doubt they are eating all of it, most is probably tossed. Maybe nearer to Jan 12th 2018 I'll get lucky, if not, well I tried.

And yes, I was outbid once again... Xbox One X Console + Shadow of War This just happened to be biddable at one point by Me. And on My TV, it is now half repaired, by Me. Now My sore throat is over with, but the cold still has Me, so I'm going no where for the moment.

I can listen to the TV, I only know a PBS show is on, and I could change the channel, but why? It's an improvement. I got My shopping done too, took 2 8hr tylenol caplets, and Pepto for My upset gut, Grace was fed before I left and I put all the groceries away. I'm beat. But at least I can tolerate Diet Mountain Dew. Min bid on an Xbox One X today is at least 27,900 points, there are a lot days between now and Jan 12th 2018.

(By the sound of it that board is not compatible with your TV) I did a search, I found a BN94-05038C is substitute for the BN94-04358P, and another place said there are usually different main board numbers for the same TV, so I've got about 4hrs 20min. Honestly they look alike to Me. And ShopJimmy says both are good enough, plus they supply a list of alternate part numbers on their website. Auction: BN94-05038C Buy it Now: BN94-04358P

Look carefully at the edge of the screen where it goes into the housing and you should be able to see them glowing. Likewise masking around the red (power?) LED with your hand, or a bit of paper you should be able to see it quite clearly. Yeah, ShopJimmy seems to think it might be a main board problem, that's the green board on the left, the power board only nominally gives power to the leds, the main board does the rest, I'm told a double failure is not impossible. If so that would be some $, yes it would be a setback, but if I want a fully working TV I may just have to spend the money, and no ShopJimmy does not repair main boards, I asked, I was referred somewhere, but that website is for sale, so that is a dead end. I can see something, and I can hear everything one can expect to hear, I'm also told not to waste time with the menus, like I can see them, the picture is too dark to see any menu.

The red led is not, I repeat not blinking. So I hope I just have to replace the back, and that the LED's are just washed out, cause I can see some picture, just not much. And yes I'm cooler now. And I'm tired too.

The left cable was hard to unhook, the top was easy, different connectors. The main board is the green board on the left, the power board location is on the right, the new board is in the bag, the old board is on the aquarium. I just hope the main board is ok, since it controls picture and sound, while the power board supplies power for everything else, including the led backlighting. The main board is hard to find, I'm watching a used one for $109.28 delivered, there is one for the moment elsewhere, but at just over $300.00, forget that for the moment. And the screws, well they are divided into color and size, 5 silver, and the rest are black and of 2 sizes, at least I know where all of them go, right now they are all on top of the aquarium. And even though I took My pills earlier, I'm melting, or at least I feel like I am. And since My throat is feeling a bit raw, I sprayed it with some throat spray.

I remember you saying there was an issue with a recent rent bill being stuck at their end of the chain and can't recall the resolution. No, that was 1, I've always been on time. The last manager and the park had a problem, the park is using tenants as managers here, help is hard to find. Which I suspect is why Eddie World in Yermo is not open yet, they have not found either enough employees or enough qualified employees or some combo of the two. Right now I just have a sour stomach, I had to up the heat here to stop coughing and making excess amounts phlegm, which is not digestible, and yes I feel terrible, though not as bad as yesterday.

I hope I can apply for an Liheap check in 2018, I could use it, to replace a window here. Ok the TV is turned around, yes It needs vacuuming, and I could barely lift the TV an inch. Sorry about the bad pic, it's a smart phone pic. Looks like maybe 20 screws. The stand swivels some, but not a lot. At least the TV fits on the modified Gusdorf TV stand, but then this stand used to have a 4th shelf at one time, since the TV stand was made for a 27" TV at most, but this way a larger TV can be used, and a 27" weighed more than this TV, and isolates the TV from earthquakes, there is one steel bolt in each corner, each bolt goes from top to bottom, I've had 2 earthquakes happen here, both at about 90 degrees to each other.

The Sword in the Stone was published in 1938 and written by TH White. It is losely based on the original Arthur story Le Morte d'Arthur written in 1485 by Thomas Malory. In Le Morte Excalibur is both the sword in the stone and given to Arthur by the lady of the lake. He makes no effort to reconcile the conflict. So you are both right. Good night. So it was this Arthur fellow that had this ridiculously long toad stabber. So what was his last name? Possibly "Fonzarelli" maybe? Lol. The "Fonz" is a character from KABC TV's Happy Days. As to Arthur's family name, I don't know that.

I did eventually get past this. The power to the tv was unplugged a few days back. Next I need to call a friend nearby on Monday after 5pm, since I don't know if He is home or not on the weekend, sometimes He is, and sometimes He is not. Last time I had the metal back of the TV off, I had the TV upside down, being the bottom of the TV has glass in the foot of the TV this works, with the screen facing the sofa, I can remove the metal back plate and all the screws there, then I can remove the 2 internal cables, then 5 screws for the power board, and then the board itself, then just reassemble in reverse order, the trick is getting the tv in and out of being upside down. The metal back plate covers almost the entire back of the set, and there are about 28 or so machine screws to remove back there, and that excludes the bottom part of the tv or the other locations between the back plate and the TV itself, the TV screen is on the other side of that silver part. What is pictured here is a similar model to My TV. Top of TV Bottom of TV My TV's power board, this is the board that will be replaced I'm told, the replacement board that I sent in was certified as working, and so I will replace this. Since this board controls the LED backlighting and the Main Board(the one on the left in the top pic). I had to flip this image upside down to match the top pic.

My Doc said no heavy lifting in June, I don't know how much this is, and the problem might be normal after surgery, or it might be cause I took some Naproxen Sodium tablets for a couple days. Though I have since stopped that. I'm having problems again, something to tell My Doctor on Monday the 13th, and this time if I need to be driven, it will be a problem, since the person who drove Me last time is now 100 miles from where I live at, instead of just 45 miles, I get to tell the Doctor that too. Now in other less important news. I got My tv power board back on Friday, I'd bought the board as bad on ebay, and ShopJimmy said the board is good, so now I get to uninstall the external cables, the metal back plate, and the old power board(nearly dead, I think), then install the new board, and the metal back of the tv, then the external cables, and then turn the tv on after I(or someone with Me) lift the tv back into position on My tv stand, I'm glad I only have to do this once, it's both about 50lbs and bulky, My PC is only about 50lbs, but isn't bulky at least, I'll have to call a nearby friend to help, if He's around that is. If not I'll wait until He is around. In addition one of these days I need to get a lighter Thermaltake X9 case, for this PC's case is a beast and some lighter weight cards, but that will have to wait... I'm doing ok financially, hopefully I can give someone here(in the park) the rent check, though the park manager is having problems, one I'm glad I don't have, She has diabetes, and last I heard was puking Her guts out according to Her husband. And in the points hunt I'm at 12,050 points for that Xbox One X console. They are going to have daily auctions, maybe I'll get lucky on the 1st try, or whatever.

Then, when our ancestors encountered cacao by migrating to the Americas, they were more than half way there, "evolutionarily speaking", in terms of tolerating and eventually benefiting from cacao-calories in their diets. Wikipedia is a fine tool, and I'll admit to using it both early and often, but it is only that - a tool. When it comes to hypothesizing, theorizing and offering possible explanations for things that are not yet scientifically "known", I vastly prefer to stand on the shoulders of the great thinkers of our species. So in this case, thanks Charles Darwin!!! Agreed, but then I don't always use the wiki, there are lots of edu sites, here and there on the net, and I've had since 1992 to explore.

Assume that my hypothetical group of ancestors originated in South or in Central America. Adaptations can happen in any point in history. In fact, they're happening right now, even as we speak!!! All humans originated from Africa, and the beans only grow 20 degrees North and South of the Equator. Of course the Isthmus of Panama has only existed for about 2.8 Million years. Now continental drift won't explain this by itself, but if some fossil cacao bean trees could be found in East African rocks, then you might have something.

I've read that Chocolate is lethal to dogs, cats, and horses, so I wouldn't feed it to any animal, humans have the needed enzyme in order to metabolize chocolate.

Moments with your cat range from utterly frustrating to pure fun. But they are never NEVER dull. Who else would wake you up at 4am in the morning running round the house like crazy and demanding food? But then youâ€™d never enjoy that calm snowy morning with a cup of coffee. Whoâ€™d crawl to you in the night while youâ€™re watching a horror film and scare the hell out of you? But then your cat would snuggle up right next to you and itâ€™s the best thing ever! So to illustrate these moments Lingvistov created these comics that capture life with a cat. +1

In the absence of any information to the contrary one can only surmise and make educated guesses. You would have left school in about 1978, then broke your leg in 2002 and have been presumably disabled ever since. Within those 24 years you spent some unspecified time in the army and in the work you have now mentioned. It would certainly be unusual not to get a pension from a local government job at least. This why I find it odd that at 57 you only have SSI to live on. Local governments do not have pensions, at least not in this state, the State of California does, but I've never worked for the state, My dad did. And the US has 50 different states, all with their own laws, no two are alike. As to when I worked, having military skills do not translate into civilian jobs, unless one becomes a deputy or a police officer, and I had no interest in becoming either one, just like My brother didn't.

Social Security, funded by FICA taxes, provides retirement income to workers and their qualifying dependents and survivors. Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, gives financial assistance to blind or disabled individuals, and those at least 65 years old with limited resources and earnings. If you qualify for both programs, you can receive monthly benefits under both.

You can not receive both disability benefits and retirement benefits at the same time. If you qualify for disability benefits, your benefits will automatically be changed to retirement benefits when you are old enough for full retirement. @ Kittyman: Please stay out of this, ok?

NO you don't get both. You will be switched over to SS when you reach your full retirement age, Which I'm guessing is either 66 or 67. SSI and SS are based on your work history and How much money you have made over the years. I have the letter right in front of me saying If I was to become disabled right now Id get$1,981 a month. Next year when I retire I will get $1,987 a month. And ive worked every year since 1970. SSI will not be added to SS. As I told you before. When My wife turned 66 her full retirement age. She went from SSI to just SS with no increase. Folks always think ,When I'm 65 I will get SS and make big bucks. Well no you don't. Work under the table you get squat. Hardly work at all ,You get what you worked for. I think your dreams are founded on bad web based info. People do get SS and SSI at the same time, you are thinking about SSDI If you are already receiving SSDI disability benefits and approaching retirement age: If you are already receiving Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) benefits, you are already receiving your full benefit amount. When you reach full retirement age, the disability benefits will be converted into retirement benefits, in the same amount. This happens automatically, when you reach your full retirement age. You do not have to do anything to continue receiving your benefits. Nothing happens at age 62, because early retirement benefits do not apply, since you are already receiving your full benefit. (Note that this applies to SSDI, not SSI. For SSI, see below.) From the law offices of Brenden Conley Can you receive Social Security retirement benefits and SSI at the same time? People are able to receive Social Security retirement benefits and Supplementary Security Income at the same time as long as their overall income and resources are limited enough to qualify for the SSI program. Social Security retirement benefits and SSI have different but not exclusive criteria for eligibility. And I have been told this when I talked to the Social Security Administration...

But if he served less than 20 years then he wouldn't get anything. A military pension is a reward from the people of the United States for more than 20 years of active duty service. It also seems that he's never worked in his life either, so no occupational pension either. What a waste of 40 years.

I doubt that Vic did the 20 or so years needed to get a military pension - much the same as our "short service" people (3 or 5 years) get virtually nothing, but do more than the threshold service and the pension starts to become a very useful amount. My brother got a pension, but then He was in the US Navy for just over 20yrs, but like My dad, I did not, none in our family, even My uncle, were ever drafted. My brother retired with an E9 rating, He got 80% of His last salary.

Most people realise that unforeseen problems can arise, like mechanical breakdowns, accidental breakages, or simple wear and tear. That is why sensible people have an emergency or contingency fund to cover those expenditures. What they DON'T do is take it out of day to day living expenses like you do. As I've said you are living beyond your means. Ok, now you'll say what do you expect me to do on $900 a month? I can't manage on that amount. Well the answer is that you could if you didn't buy any more s/h computer kit off Ebay, and made a proper effort to pay off off your debts. So lets ask a few questions here. You said that you were in the army and had an honourable discharge, so isn't there an army pension somewhere? That would be based on length of service, so how many years did you serve in the army? Next, you are 58, assuming that you left full time education at 18, that is 40 years ago. You also said that you paid into this SSI that you get, so you must have had jobs apart from your time in the army? Aren't there any occupational pensions owing from those jobs? It just seems odd that all you have at age 58 after a lifetimes work is just a minimal SSI payment. Most people have an income of over $1,600 a month, so give Me a break... I'm not the only one that says SSI checks are too little, but as you have said, I'm a bit more lucky. No pension, just cause one has an honorable discharge, does not mean one is eligible... SSI is Supplemental Security Income, not Social Security retirement income, there is a difference, I get SSI now, when I'm 62 I can add SS to My bank account. Skills from the military don't always translate to civilian life.

They have found that if they increase the card limits on your cards you use that credit, so pay them more in interest. They haven't given you any money, they have given you the ability to increase the amount you owe them. A little challenge for you -sit down one day with your last twelve month's credit card statements and add up all the interest you have paid in that time. Now compare that amount with your monthly food bill. If your twelve months credit card interest is greater than your monthly food bill you are in a very poor financial state, caused by the over -use of credit cards. Look I said I had a plan to pay them down, now I'm starting with the 2 largest, then the medium sized ones, then the smaller ones, I keep track of these, if you don't believe that, then there is little I can do to change your mind on this. Sure they have their plans, but I have mine, I'm just using them to further My plans.

In your case you are always proclaiming that you own your home and have done so for more than 3 years, thus, in relation to this form you are a "home owner of more than 3 years standing". Well I've asked in the past, and they know the question is vague, and why it has not been made more specific, but then Calhome deals in Real Estate, not homes without land.

This follows on from just plugging in a CO alarm not realising that it had a coiled cable in the back. Ok since I did get an increase in a card today, I used some on ShopJimmy to repair My TV's psu board, $94.95, I was going to spend this in November, but the process is underway at least, So much for telling everybody that you don't want any more credit and intend to pay all the cards off. The first opportunity you get you are quite happy to get into more debt. It seems easy come easy go in your world. One of these days I am going to rearrange My front room a bit, especially once I get a love seat/sleeper to replace My broken sofa/recliner... Which is what I suggested a while ago but was ignored. Well, all that really matters is how the state of California rules on the subject when they are processing an application for the program. Exactly. And if Vic bothers to read up on it properly he will find that Calhome classes people as First Time Buyers if they haven't had a loan from Calhome in the previous 4 years. It's got nothing to do with owning land a home sits on. still nothing on the 2 cat6 ethernet cables More computer kit? 4. Why are the land and mobile home billed separately?â€‹ Because usually they are owned by two separate people. In the UK if you own land you are a Freeholder, if you just own a property on someone else's land you are a Leaseholder. Leaseholders pay the Freeholders ground rent, usually minimal and on average twice a year. Well I do have a bedroom that is short on outlets, so the Belkin that I can't use in the front room won't go to waste. All that did was accelerate what I planned to do, nothing more. The sofa will wait, I am losing some weight, so it'll last another 2 years, though maybe I can get to that a bit sooner, I'll see when I get there. Well I've never been a Calhome customer, so that is perfect, thanks Chris. One cat 6 cable is for My TV, the other is for an Xbox One S or X, I'm up to 6,500 points, I hope to be at 10,000 by Nov 6th, by December I don't know, same for January, the Promo ends on Jan 12th 2018. Good explanation, I couldn't have said it better Chris S. Oh and I'm paying down that credit line(18 months) and the large card(8 months) at the same time, so those two will be done as soon as possible, I'm logging off ebay in March, possibly for 1.5 years, unless I need some powdered eggs, otherwise I won't be doing anything for maybe 1.5 years there or anywhere else, it's not as long as I thought.

They can be billed together if the mobile home is permanently secured to the land and under the same ownership.

The first Question seems vague to Me: Have you owned and occupied a home in the last 3 years? Yes or No... It doesn't say what type of home, stick built homes come with land by default, manufactured homes are usually separate, since owning land is optional for a manufactured home. http://www.calhfa.ca.gov/apps/AmIEligible/

This is OK when used on liquids, but not very good when trying to extinguish solids such as we typically have in house fires. The reason it is used in computer rooms is that it doesn't cause secondary damage, unlike water, foam, or power - if you've ever seen the mess from a powder extinguisher you'd understand. That's something I've only owned once, and then it was attached to the house, but that was prior to 1998.

CHAPTER 2. Affordable Housing Bond Act Trust Fund of 2018 and Program 54006 (g) Three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) to be deposited in the Self-Help Housing Fund established pursuant to Section 50697.1. The moneys in the fund shall be available for the CalHome Program authorized by Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 50650) of Part 2, to provide direct, forgivable loans to assist development projects involving multiple home ownership units, including single-family subdivisions, for self-help mortgage assistance programs, and for manufactured homes. These funds may also be expended for any authorized purpose of this program. At least thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) of the amount deposited in the Self-Help Housing Fund shall be used to provide grants or forgivable loans to assist in the rehabilitation or replacement, or both, of existing mobile homes located in a mobile home or manufactured home community. There is no mention of funding any move for a home from a manufactured home community to a private plot of land anywhere, What they will consider is to repair, upgrade, or replace an existing home in a manufactured home community. In all cases note the word "assist". i.e. they will not pay for all of it only part of it, and even then that loan is repayable at some point. Also note self-help, Grants are gifts that don't have to be paid back, forgivable loans are monies where you defer paying the loan back until later when you can more readily afford it. Veterans are specifically being helped here, and they are also concentrating on existing renters and first time buyers as being the worst off and in need of the most help. Vic already owns his own home he doesn't rent it. He only rents the plot it sits on from the Park, and the fees he pays the Park also fund the laundry facilities and other things that come with it. He is also classed as a resident, therefore unlikely to be given a months notice to quit by a landlord. He is already on the housing ladder, many are not. Vic seems to have got it into his head that all he has to do is raise his hand, and some nice man will come along with a blank cheque and buy him a Â£60,000 house, and it won't cost him a penny, other than moving costs. Vic is already better off than many people renting their homes, and he also has what we would call an Assured Tenancy being a resident of the Park. It is not the States fault if he cannot manage his money and gets into debt. If he gets a letter from the Californian authorities saying he's eligible and it's going to happen, then I'll believe it. Up until now it's all his interpretation of what has been announced, and "from what I have been told". Define a first time buyer, in the US. It's one who owns property, property is land, I own a home, mobile or manufactured makes almost no difference. I am not a property owner, yet a manufactured home that is owned w/a title without land is regarded as personal property if the land is rented, so I do not own any real property. So that would make Me a 1st time buyer.

Mine are 18" from floor. Mine were placed there in 1987 by Fleetwood, of course that Fleetwood is no more, thanks to a Bankruptcy in 2009, I'd bought the place in late 2006. The place is a fixer. I just had the 2.5 ton gas furnace repaired for $300.00, and the last a/c part removed, the furnace is 30yrs old, and there are no new parts now, the part that was replaced was used, but has been properly dialed in, still if winds go above 45mph here, the pilot will be blown out, a proposed screen around the upper section of the flue, that is up on the roof, has not been done yet, and so far seems unlikely to be done at all. For this place, a 4.0 ton gas furnace would be installed today, seems like overkill, but I'm told it would do the job, just be on for less time. But I have no way to pay for that, even if there was no cards in the way, I'd be asked to finance this at present, a grant would work, but that would require a vote of the people of CA on SB-3 on Nov 6th 2018, and then it would not be instantly available. And I think it would be better for Me to find a place elsewhere when the time comes and I can take advantage of SB-3 or SB-2.

At what height/location should a CO device be mounted? According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720, the location for effective performance is not generally dependent on mounting height. The density of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air at room temperature, and carbon monoxide generally mixes readily with air. The manufacturerâ€™s installation instruction should also be followed. The Detector has a small cord, Rear of the CO Detector, places for 2 screws, not included, what a surprise, I'll get some wall anchors, they'll fit perfectly, provided I can find a pair that can handle the thin drywall here.

No one wants to be ignorant I'd think, as that would be silly. The detector is about 1 foot above the floor, and a vent from the gas furnace probably is a good source of a bad gas CO. Now of course I don't know if any would come out of the vent, or not, the vent is open, pointed straight up, and off center, but I could close that if needed.

Though this site has a better explanation. So what is the most advantageous place to put a CO detector? CO moves with the air, so where the air is flowing it will go also. It is very unpredictable where the air, and therefore CO, will move at any given time. That is why the instructions with the unit you buy do not say to place it high or low on the wall.
6101) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1896854) Posted 22 Oct 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: BTW - That Carbon Monoxide detector is in the wrong place. Carbon Monoxide is very slightly LESS dense than air so tends to accumulate high up in rooms. Down near the floor, by what looks like a vent in the floor, will give you ZERO warning of toxic levels, and in the event of a fault in one of your gas appliances that causes Carbon Monoxide to be produced you will have a room (or home) full of the gas, and be lying unconscious, or dead, on the floor long before the alarm goes off. You are correct in it being in the wrong place, but that looks like a powered CO2 detector, not a battery powered one. Yes it should be high up in sleeping accommodation, or at horizontal height to the risk area. There is Advice here. Yes that looks like a floor vent for under-floor warm air heating? Is that what Vic's furnace provides? If so mounting a CO2 detector directly over it is just damn silly, you could get false triggers. A Surge Protector, a Carbon Monoxide detector, the vacuum cleaner cord is plugged into the New Surge Protector, the outlet is now fixed. I had to dig up a 2" long screw too. A 2" long panhead screw was used to secure the surge protector to the old outlet, it's not perfect, but this does work, and now the CO detector does not fall off[ the outlet anymore. This very worrying. Did Vic mean screw the surge protector to the wall socket, or screw a loose wall socket to the wall? it's not perfect, but this does work This sounds like a dangerous bodge job to me. And what is all that white stuff on the wall? I'd want a qualified electrician to test that if it was me. What is all the white stuff on the wall, paint, an electrician would take one look at it, and say paint, then ignore it. An outlet in My bedroom would be no higher than this. The short machine screw that held the faceplate on was removed, and replaced with a 2" long 6-32 pan head machine screw, the original screw has a socket for this, the socket has it's own 2 screws to secure the electrical socket to the box(1 top, 1 bottom), the box is secured to the wall, either by nails or screws, like in the pic below, the screw is the center screw, see the hole in the center of the outlet?

Definitions Or who have missed the 10 year window for applying for SSDI benefits, yes I get Supplemental Security Income, the checks are smaller than ones from SSDI, the SSA said if I went back to work or at least tried, I could qualify for SSDI, I'd have to be licensed by the state, and pass the e-verify... And then find a company who doesn't subscribe to Me being Black Balled(CCP, Wells Fargo), out here impossible... And I'm still too heavy. The $236.00 is from Social Security retirement benefits, which I'll be eligible for in about 4.5 years. Which I did pay into, heck getting SSI I paid into that too, thru income taxes, since SSI comes from the main Federal budget, the same budget where SNAP comes from, which No SSI recipient in CA gets. That $236.00 is 80% of what I would get if I were 70, at 70 that would be $295.00 a month, at least to start with, a COLA would make it rise, most complain the COLA is eaten away by Medicare, Me I'll just not apply for it, since I'll still have Medi-Cal(Medicaid outside of California). All cause the State Legislature is too cowardly to stop the state policy known as Cash Out, this is where $10 is given to SSI recipients in lieu of SNAP/CalFresh benefits, this has been going on since 1974, since I'm in the program I do know about these little facts. It would cost nothing or nearly nothing to add 1.3 Million SSI recipients to CalFresh thanks to computers, and to do what the USDA wants in order to get SNAP, but no, too cowardly, timid, and pathetic... In California the average monthly SNAP/CalFresh benefit is $135.99, a friend of mine, who does not have a job or any prospects of getting one, cause people won't hire an ex-con, He gets $160.00 a month, He refuses to apply for SSI, would He qualify? He's poor enough, but there is the little thing called Medical Evidence, this applies to both SSDI and to SSI, you have to be Disabled, otherwise you get nothing, period. Yes I've been there, no I never hired any lawyer or attorney, I just kept going to the Doctor or to the ER, lots of things are wrong in My body, but being inside means one needs Xrays to see them, and to be a Medical Doctor, with a degree, and a license to practice Medicine, don't got that? Then you aren't qualified, and practicing Medicine without a License is a Felony in California, same as impersonating a Police Officer of Deputy is...

If the new monitor only has dvi then put the gtx9x0 into service and use the dvi output from that, getting a suitable adaptor if/when the x-box arrives. The next is to get an HDMI monitor, use the gtx9x0 HDMI output, and again if the x- arrives either use the second HDMI input on the monitor or get a simply HDMI input switch if required. Whatever I would be putting that gtx9x0 onto service, they run so much cooler than previous generations they don't require liquid cooling. The Samsung TV has 4 HDMI ports, a USB port, Ethernet, and does 1920x1080, at least it will after the spare psu board is repaired and installed, once I pay the $94.95 to ShopJimmy.com, once I do that I'll get a FedEx shipping label to print out and attach to the shipping box, then wait for FedEx, the repairs have a 180 day warranty, they have 1yr and 2yr warranties at extra cost, but $94.95 is what I can spare for the moment, so that is that. The video card I'm interested in is an Asus 970 Turbo. I've found no matter how good a filter is, cat hair and some dust will always get past whatever defense one has against dust.

So yes a GTX 980 or 970 would be an big improvement if he has one. Most modern graphics cards do not need water cooling that is for petrol heads into overclocking cpu's and memory, and tweaking BIOS settings to the limits. Sounds flash just costs money and is more trouble than it's worth. The 980 has an HDMI connection. The 580 has an HDMI connection, or at least the one in my hand does. And the 580 is one heck of a hot and relatively slow card, to go faster it would need a banana peel.

I'm hoping to pay down 1 card in 8 months time, from when I start at least, which seems to be starting in March(or April at the latest), at about $125.00 a month, I need to try and get an Asus 970 Turbo card for this PC in February(or March at the latest) using My credit line in parallel by just paying on the credit line until then, though in Sept and Dec, I have DMV and Taxes to pay, so that might be 9 months from when I start(nothing is certain beyond the immediate month, some things begin to get clear near the end of the month, until then all are educated guesses), that's My biggest card, though not the most expensive, that one I could maybe get done in 4 months(after the biggest card, otherwise it would take longer to do), and since that one duplicates another from the same company and is a secured nightmare of a card, about 24.9% is a nightmare to Me, paying that one off, and getting My $600 back would mean I could pay off the $500 card it's hiding, and then pay $100 on another card that is $450 in value, which would leave $350 which would need 2 payments, I'd still have 1 card($600/3), Amazon($600/3), and a credit line to pay down(Frankenstein would be proud), close to $1800/9 on this monster. Anything else will keep after February for a while. The payments won't, they're constant, and I'm not interested in going bankrupt, not when I could do something...

The truth is that all too often they don't even do that and your income drops further behind the average, and thus further from your financial goal. One very sick, sad fact of life :-( As to "signing off" of SB3, I meant the final, full enactment into law however that is accomplished, then coming into effect with full funding available to be drawn on. By the sound of it that I'd improbable until the end of next year, and more likely 2019 before the funds able to be drawn on by the likes of yourself. I dare say there will loopholes for applicants to jump through, loads of forms to complete, and maybe even "eligibility" checks to be made, all of which take time to complete. Yeah, SB-3 was signed, but now it needs to be Voted on in the Nov 2018 election, and 67% of the votes for SB-3 have to be Yes votes, or the measure fails, all cause of the $4 Billion in bonds. That's the procedure for full enactment here. I just got back from Barstow Hospital, I drove a friend there, Her husband is I think having the same problems that I was.

This is an announcement only. Senate Passes Budget that Slashes Medicare and Medicaid, Offers More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy The U.S. Senate voted 51-49 on Thursday to pass a budget that requires cuts of $473 billion from Medicare and about $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next 10 years. The measure is estimated to add $1.5 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years. The Senate also adopted a last minute amendment eliminating the need for a conference committee. That will speed up the timeline so that Congress can move on to â€œtax reform.â€ â€œThis is a cruel budget that blatantly disrespects older Americans,â€ said Robert Roach, Jr., President of the Alliance. â€œIt drastically cuts Medicare and Medicaid to give billionaires and profitable corporations money they donâ€™t need.â€ Several notable amendments were offered by Democrats and Independent Bernie Sanders (VT). Senators Sanders, Debbie Stabenow (MI) and Bob Casey (PA) offered an amendment to prevent the $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, paid for by reducing the Republican tax breaks for the wealthy. The amendment failed 47-51. Senators Bill Nelson (FL) Stabenow and Sanders offered an amendment to provide additional resources to restore the $473 billion in cuts to Medicare, paid for by reducing the Republican tax breaks for the wealthy. It failed 47-51. In addition, Sanders and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) offered a third amendment to ensure that there are not tax cuts for the top 1% of Americans. It failed 46-52**.

CA State Law is on this, specifically the CA Mobilehome Residency Law. http://mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/sites/mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/files/2017_mrl.pdf Do residents have any rights to compensation for being dislocated when the park closes down? Mobilehome park residentsâ€™ associations have rights under the notice requirements in the MRL (Civil Code Â§798.80), and potential relocation assistance under the state Government Code. Where no city permits are required to close or convert the park to another use, the park must give residents at least a one-year written notice of termination of tenancy. (Civil Code Â§798.56(g)) Where local permits are required, which is usually the case, the park must give residents a 15-day written notice that park management will appear before a local board or planning commission to request permits for a change of use. At the same time, the park must make public the impact report requirements (Civil Code Â§798.56(h)), and only after approval of all permits by the city can the park then give the residents a 6-month notice of termination. (Govt. Â§65863.7) Upon approval of the closure or conversion of a mobilehome park to another use, the park must render an impact report to the city on the effect the conversion will have on the residentsâ€™ dislocation and their ability to find alternative housing. (Govt. Â§65863.7) The city must then hold a hearing on the impact report and may require the park to pay the reasonable costs of relocation to displaced residents as a condition for obtaining various permits to convert the park and develop the land for another use. Usually this takes several hearings and a number of months. Actual relocation assistance afforded to residents is determined by the city, usually the planning commission or a delegated committee or agency of the commission. Often local governments will have a mobilehome park conversion ordinance which parallels the requirements of state law and fills in the details of the relocation assistance that may be required by the city, whether it is actual relocation of the mobilehome or a buy-out of the home, and how the mobilehome is to be valued for these purposes. If the park is to be subdivided into individual parcels (where a conventional subdivision will replace the park) and where a tentative or final map is required, the city may impose even more stringent relocation requirements. (Govt. Code Â§66427.4.) Local officials are the final arbiters of any relocation assistance to which displaced mobilehome owners may be entitled. Recap: â— If no local permits are required for park closure or conversion, then the park must give residents at least one year advance written notice. â— If local permits are required for park closure or conversion, then the park must proceed with relocation guidelines established by state and local law. â— Local officials are the final arbiters of any relocation assistance. I live in a County area, so there is no City where I live at, County government offices are in Barstow, County is Local, where there is no City, there is County Jurisdiction.

It would be the death knell for the park... And they'd have to pay for My relocation, and since My place can't be moved to a different park cause of being too OLD, or to its own land, that would mean a place like I mentioned already would have to be bought as compensation and to satisfy state law on this.

You set off on another wild goose chase based on assumptions not reality, SB3 may not get signed off so that source of a deposit vanishes, you have no idea about the real costs of moving your current home to another site, you has assumed the other site would accept your current home, you have no real idea of the service connection charges, you have only a vague idea of the legal costs. Get those then start to think about what you can actually afford to spend. In your situation the very best St thing you can do is to stop buying on eBay, Amazon, spending on PayPal and start paying down your cards and loans. And before you say "You don't know what is like to live on just over 800usd a month" not too many years ago I was out of work with a Â£1000/month mortgage and an income of about Â£220 per month. Which most certainly does not add up to a good situation, making you look positively well off in comparison. Signed off, do you mean signed by the Governor of California, Gerry Brown Jr? Done, voted on in the November 6th Ballot of 2018... Will it pass It's not a special election, nor one in June, so turnout should be ok, it just needs 67% to pass, this is a $4 Billion Bond issue on Down Payments for Housing($1 Billion for Vets, $3 Billion for everyone else, though one will have to qualify for this, otherwise one won't get any help, Me I'd qualify), if SB-3 does not get 67% I'm not worried, there is always SB-2 which has a Down Payment ability, and is not on the Ballot, why? Cause the law got 67% of the State Legislature to vote Yes on it, though to some, they think that they should be able to vote on this as a ballot measure, even though measures that go on the Statewide Ballot are only supposed to be Constitutional Measures(Amendments), which is what Prop13 of 1978 says, Prop13 is part of the CA Constitution, while ordinary bills just need 67% of the State Legislature to vote Yes on, the budget by contrast only needs 50%+1 vote to pass, the Voters in 2010 said enough, and wanted the budget to be immune to minority quack rule... The voters also passed Prop30 to pay down Bonds the voters had voted on in years past, wiping out Billions in debt(sales tax and higher income tax), the sales tax part has sunsetted already, the income tax part has been extended by the voters once again. The voters of California have a track record of approving ballot measures that are specific, taxes are one of them, bonds, are our specialty... And California is a DEEP Blue state, meaning Democrats rule, Republicans drool.

So I no longer even try. Now if I bought a used car that would fit Me, then it would be time to find the least expensive insurance I could again, I'd need at least another $236.00 a month in income, which I'll get when I'm 62, I'm 57 now, so that's a piece of cake(no calories too). But that would be on a Mustang V6/GT 2011-2017, 305hpV6, 412hp2011-12GT, 420hp2013-14GT, and 435hp2015-17GT respectively. The GT generally has the better equipment package, than the V6, the V6 gets 31mpg, the GT might get 25mpg since the hp varies a bit. In 2018 the V6 is no more, just an I4 and V8 along w/a 10 speed automatic transmission, the GT gets to be 455hp, mpg, unknown by Me, but higher than previous years. Choices, choices... 10 speed transmission jointly developed between FORD and GM. There might even be a Mustang Hybrid in 2020... Road and Track wrote: Ford promises the Mustang hybrid will make horsepower comparable to the current V8 model (shown above), with even more low-end torque. The Mustang hybrid will hit the North American market in 2020. Quite possibly a Mustang hybrid Mule has already been built and tested, for a 2020 launch... It might even be like this one... And yes that is a Mustang under there, though this one is a 2018 Mule https://www.zinzin.com/observations/2017/industry-jargon-development-mule/ Electrics aren't restricted to Golf Cart performance anymore, anyone, and I do mean anyone who thinks an Electric Mustang would be slow, doesn't know a thing...

Good luck in the hunt. Thanks, yeah, I'm glad looked before I leaped, saved Me a whole mess of problems. And yes I will find out how much I can borrow, but first SB-3 has to be approved by the Voters, meanwhile SB-2 offers a downpayment assistance element too, but does not have to be approved by the Voters since SB-2 is not a Constitutional Amendment, it did pass with a 2/3rds vote of the State Legislature, as required by State Law, and by Prop13 of 1978, which is a State Constitutional Amendment in itself, both SB-2 and SB-3 were signed by Gov Brown and Chaptered. (vii) Accessibility modifications. (viii) Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes. (ix) Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, downpayment assistance. (x) Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing for extremely low, very low, low-, and moderate-income households.

To be fair, Vic did state the reason for the thread in the first place. This thread *will be a journal of what is going on in my life.* Only positive, supportive replies to my posts are on-topic in this thread. Posts that are negative or critical will be removed as "off topic" posts. If you cannot be positive, please do not read my thread or post in my thread. All Vic seems to want is a place where he can prattle on in his own sweet way about anything and everything without anybody challenging him. Head in the clouds? Walter Mitty? Of course, but that is the way that he is. The official advice from the Mods and the Admin here is to put him on filter if he irritates you. It's his TV, his eyesight, and his housing plans, all he is doing is hurting himself, his choice. But as responsible citizens we cannot stand aside and see other matters arise that could affect the safety of other innocent people. Vic says that the 185/60x15 tyre is going on the left front, and the 195/50x15 will be the spare. If he has a puncture on the right front and puts the spare on, it will be illegal. You must not mix tyre sizes on the same axle. It is also an automatic MOT failure in the UK, I know that because mine failed on that point, and I just had to replace a 1/2 worn 155/65 R13 with a new 155/70 R13. Also he would have a steel rim mixed with an aluminium rim on the same axle, which may also be illegal. If he has a puncture, puts the spare on, then gets stopped by the police, he would be in trouble. If worse he had an accident, the insurance assessor would note it and likely not pay out. Quite apart from which if he has passengers, innocent people could get hurt. mismatch They always say change all 4 tyres at once for the same make and correct size, but that is impractical for people on a budget. However one axle at a time is a must, and every 7 years minimum whatever the tread wear, as tyres age. You can't run a car on a shoestring and remain safe and legal. If you have to have a car on a low budget then something else has to go. Eyesight and transport as must haves are more important than would like to haves. one just needs to juggle ones priorities. No it's just another tire, it's not illegal, maybe in the UK it is, but not in the US. BS, I've had a tire with a steel rim on the car before, sure the tire was a friends spare, and I was passed by the CHP at least once, and I was not stopped, even the donut uses a steel rim, and the donut is a crappy tire, 50mph maximum on a 14x4.5" steel rim. My car insurance is the state mandatory minimum, it covers other drivers, and is not full coverage. In November I will have two 185/60x15 tires on the front axle, the 195/50x15 size is compatible with a 15x5.5" rim, steel or aluminum.

What happens if that thing you bought shows up in tomorrow's mail? The local US Post Master said it's unlikely to get here, as did ebay tonight, item never marked as shipped by the seller, seller had no sales after mine, seller was selling a device for the US, yet the seller was supposedly in Australia, ebay time of cancellation is on October 19th 2017, which is what it is there now. Amount fully refunded, I'd tried to contact the seller before this, but with no success, so this is a finished matter to Me. Ok, but if it shows up, do let us know! I have lots of faith in people, so it is hard for me to think you were scammed. It takes a long time for things to get to the US from Australia. Ok here is another bit of info, since this seller was supposed to be down in Australia, why did the seller sell in US Currency? Instead of AUD, which is what others in foreign countries do? I got scammed, the seller was only selling a picture, since nothing ever shipped, the replacement sellers both have sent tracking info and have stated the products have shipped.

6175) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1896138) Posted 19 Oct 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The most popular TV screen size in the UK is 33" in the USA it seems about 48". Mainly because American houses are larger, and well, America is America, everything is bigger out there, including fridges, and walk in wardrobes! We have a 40" HD Smart TV which to be honest is a bit overpowering for the size of the room which is 10'-9" x 15'-6". Vic's TV saga is still rather mystifying. Given his stated poverty level on a limited income, one would have thought that a board repair at around a nominal $100 or so would be a no-brainer, so it is a bit odd to say the least why he was looking at new TV's up to $600, which he couldn't afford anyway. He says he needs a 55" because he has to watch it from 25 feet away. For starters that is twice the distance that it should be watched at Recommended viewing distance. Secondly he says it is because he only has one comfy chair by his desk. Surely the obvious thing is to move the chair and desk closer to the TV position, and get rid of the broken 23 year old recliner. If the chair is damaging the floor, put down a bit of old carpet to protect it. In Vic's situation offering him even more credit is not a good thing at all because he will simply use it and get into even more debt with larger monthly outgoings. Have a look at this web page, fill in your own figures and see what results you get. Credit card calcuator. I have a Mastercard credit card, which I got for my Canadian trip last year solely for emergencies, as it was doubtful if my UK bank debit card would have been accepted out there. I've never used it and at their interest rates I never will. However for interests (sorry!) sake, I filled in Â£750 debt 18.9% APR Fixed payment of Â£37.50 over 2 years Min payment each month of 3% or Â£5 The results were Fixed payments - 2 years plus 1 payment, Total interest amount =Â£157.92 Min payments - 5 years plus 3 payments, Total interest amount = Â£240.24 First min payment month Â£34.31 Payment Â£11.81 Interest Â£22.50 off principal Â£715.69 amount left That is 1/3 of every payment is interest or money down the drain. Add that up for 3 or 4 cards plus other loans and it becomes quite substantial. AND that all assumes that on day one the cards will be cut up and thrown away, and the issuers asked to freeze the accounts so that no further debit can be added to them. Paypal credit is just as bad at 17.9%. I'm wondering if Vic has a virus or something similar because 2 recent posts 1895731 and 1895727 are rambling with each sentence changing the subject back & forth, and he says his head is fuzzy. I would suggest a call to the doctor might be in order. We all wish him well, but I'm not sure he is making sensible decisions at the moment. Eff off on My TV Chris S, if I say I need it, screw you.

I paid $1,500.00 for the present foundation system, which was county specified, prep was $1,500.00, the move cost $1,500.00, setup was $2,500.00, total $7,000.00, which did not include the $293.00 that I paid for a county building permit, and I had to use 3 different companies, one of which had to be able to cross a State Border(NV/CA), the other two were not able to do this. Do I have to produce an 11 year old checkbook? That I no longer have need of?

And yes a construction permit would be needed that I'd go and secure, as would some minor details like generic plans(this is what was done here), supplied by the mover. I've omitted landscaping details, since that is not more than put a tree in the front yard, and some red gravel of a type that does tend to keep the weeds down, plus a small drip system for the tree. I've done most of this before, at one time or another. Estimated total cost, possibly as much as $25,000.00. But I've given up on that, as I have already mentioned. Ok, so the land has gone down $1500 but that doesn't make it any more affordable than it was 5 days ago. The problem that you have Vic is finding someone to loan you $25,000 on your income, and you being able to pay it back with maxed out credit cards and loans. I'd get a personal loan, but on $895.72 a month in 2017 from SSI, that's not happening... This is just a non starter Vic. I was advised about the United Way, and a Grant from them, and that's all I'll say.

I just hope no overhead lines would need to be moved as doing so is almost always "dollarsouch". I don't know what the route would be, as to cost being 10%, I still don't see that as a problem, I'd been charged $1,500.00 to move this place in 2006, and the lot here is not mine to own, just to rent, this was what I was charged by the mover back then, as I had to employ 3 companies, one for teardown in N. Las Vegas NV, a 2nd for moving across a State Line, and a 3rd for setup here in Yermo CA.

I had assumed your place would be split to move as they do here in the UK, due to additional cost incurred for over-width loads more than doubling the price per mile! (I live just off a route used by quite a number mobile home moves and see plenty is split doubles and even trebles sitting waiting for the end of the morning and evening peaks). After sitting around for more than ten years, even in the shade, I wouldn't trust those tyres as heat is just as big an enemy of rubber as UV - just think about the state of your car spare. You should also considered the bearings which will require, at least, fresh grease if not a thorough overhaul. The last thing any of us want to read is that your home was damaged due to as tyre or bearing failure. True, very true. Though at the moment My car does not have a spare tire, I have a spare rim, the tire I will order after Nov 1st.

Oops, missed that, possibly nothing at all, the land has access to water, electricity, gas, landline, cable, a paved road, and it is a free market, the owner could have died for all that I know. 6 total miles?

What's wrong with it? Apart from needing all services hooked up, foundation slab laid.... Can you explain your moving cost please as 0.1 per mile (6 total) sounds impossibly cheap to me for moving your home. Ok it seems costs have risen since 2006, it's now $5-$10 a mile, now of course the route is fixed, what is traversible by auto, is not always done by a manufactured home, why? I said 60 miles, though the distance could be greater or lower than that, since the route will be dependent on what is moved, and how big it is, etc, etc, etc... $10 a mile could be $600.00, still not a big amount, permits will be needed Height, Weight, one has to worry about a foundation before the move(if one has a slab or a walled type, any other is not discussed, I have neither, so cost is minimal, part of teardown, which involves unhooking from electric, gas, water, sewer/septic, cable, landline, permits(travel permits to go from point A to point B are handled by the mover, since multiple jurisdictions can be involved, like which city are you traveling thru, and on whose streets/highways for that matter, size is important, single wide has the least cost, since a single wide can not be split into 2 or more parts, then it would be either a double or a triple wide and cost more to move, more is stated here, singles also have no marriage line, single wide can be 12' or more in width up to maybe as much as 18' wide, though that is dependent on the state, mine is 13.5' wide, sold as a 14' wide. Prep would also entail My possessions inside being packed and moved, some companies would move stuff, others would rather one hire a different mover for household goods. Though the sofa, refridge, oven, and dishwasher could stay in place. Repairs are done in setup, if any are needed, and that can happen, mine needed minor repairs to the skin. Would the park here try and block Me in? No, they don't have the money to hire a truck, employ only tenants as managers, plus since I brought the place in and own the place free and clear, plus have a clear title, and am under no contract to keep My place in the park, the law is on My side, I also do not have any liens on My place, which would be the only way to keep My place here, so it would be illegal to keep My place here against My will or I'd need to call in law enforcement, private owners have been encouraged to take their places and go if they so wish, so I feel there is no threat there to Me. The park only gets $265 out of Me for space rent, this was $215 at one time, then $320, then back to $215 after the state forced a previous park owners hand for not transferring a title as agreed to and fining said owner $300 a month, which is why I own the place again, eventually a park wide rent increase happened and My rent went to $265, and yet My name was never removed from the title even once, and I still had to pay for property taxes, which I've always made sure are paid up and on time, it's not like I'm charged $550 a month for renting My own place, that I pay taxes on every year, that's $80.30 now, I have the tax bill here, places like mine do not go up in value for taxes, only down, My place is now worth $14,500.00, below $7,000.00 My place would not owe property taxes, since that is the automatic exemption as per state law in California, would the land at the destination add to My tax bill, yes, but only at 1% of the cost of buying the land, land does not incur any other taxes outside of property taxes in this state,fees are another matter, like maybe $575 a year for schools, water, and such, none of which applies here where I live at now. Also I contacted the SSA, on Me moving, I was told as long as I still remained living in this place, My benefits would not suffer from any move. I also own My own axles, brakes, rims and tires(all stored underneath), will the tires that have been out of the sun/rain ever since 2006 need to be replaced? Maybe, I don't know, in any case I have 3 axles, for a 13.5'x60.0' place(more than a semi trailer in size), those are the actual width and length measurements, height was not mentioned, though will be determined before moving, since not all routes can be used, a semi trailer can go where My place can't but then even they have size restrictions for safety purposes, sorry I'm not a Class A licensed driver, just Class C and M driver, in any case a pro trucking company is required, one that is a specialist in moving places like Mine, I also had to find one that would come out here, it's not a popular destination, so there is a limit to who will come out here. Have I covered everything? No. But then moving is not as simple a thing as moving from A to B, it can be complicated.

Not putting any out this year, unless a foot of snow. LOL! Our California squirrels are too lazy to dig holes. I pulled out some spent rhubarb leaves the other day and found a squirrel cache of peanuts right underneath one of the leaves. No digging involved - just push the peanuts under a big leaf. I don't know if we have any squirrels out here in the high desert, but We have a few demented chipmunks, that dart across the roads now and then, sadly no places for clowns to hide at, since we have no sewers for them to hide in.

From the TV to where My desk is at is about 20', the screen is smaller the farther one is from the tv or even from a movie screen, this is a fact. I have trouble seeing, so the 55" tv accommodates My eyesight better, both My eyes are blurry w/o glasses and a smaller size is not sharp enough for My eyes, but then I have 20/40 and 20/50 vision and I have problems seeing when it's dark, which is why I need a flashlight and a bright light on at the same time, and this in the Daytime too, to see in a PC case to work on screws, cables, and other small items, 2020 will be good, as then I can get a new pair of costly prescription glasses, right now or in 2009 I could afford the prescription, but not the frames or the lenses, the prescription is paid for by Medi-Cal, the frames and lenses come out of My pocket and are not cheap or inexpensive by any means if one can not afford the glasses, like with non prescription drugs, one has to buy an item out of pocket, don't have the money? Too bad. Some people in 2009 said privatizing Lenses and Frames would be affordable by those who get Vision-Cal, for a bit it was, then supply and demand kicked in, there wasn't enough supply for the demand, so the market raised prices on lenses and frames, and so here is where My glasses sit, I'm still waiting. At least in 2018 I can get My teeth worked on thanks to a Full Restoration of Adult Denti-Cal by the CA State Legislature, and in 2020 to Vision-Cal all but funding is in place for a Full Restoration of Adult Vision-Cal. The Full Restoration is undoing the horrific 2009 cuts to the State Budget.

My main tv is a 27 inch Sony CRT that cost over $1,000, back in 2005. The wide screens on today's sets are really too big for my tv's spot, and it's good to know the prices are lower, but I'll keep my CRT going until it decides to give up the ghost. Me too. I have a 35" that I thought was huge when I got it. The cost was close to a grand. I don't think I would want anything as large as Vic's. If I want a larger picture I just use my tablet on my lap. I've seen TV's bigger than 65", but 55" is ok for Me, My car could maybe transport a 55" home, a 65" might also fit, but it's larger, and I'm tired. And I'm zonked out, I'm glad I made it home, intact. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this, but My head is fuzzy, math is not working right now. Oh I have an idea, but it'll wait, no choice.

Is this the TV that you held a Gofund me for a year or so ago, but instead of buying a new one, bought a s/h one off Ebay, then found that the picture was bad as the diodes had gone down one side? I thought you had fixed that fault, by buying a s/h card to repair, It seems not. How old is this TV? Secondly, And concentrate on getting rid of so many cards, ugh I don't want any more cards, one of which is secured and is very expensive. Yet now you say I am going to get a 50% increase on a credit card that I make payments on, from $500 to $750, a $250 increase, It is difficult to see how you expect to pay these cards off if every time an unexpected bill comes in, you increase the credit limit to pay for it. This is intended as a positive & supportive reply, to encourage you in your own wish to pay off all these credit cards, so you can attain your long term goal of being able to afford a house loan to move somewhere nicer. But having a wish list of computer parts that takes priority, and paying bills on further credit, is only putting a possible move further away all the time. You just don't like it when a good thing happens to someone, just bad things it seems, I kept up My end of the card agreement, they are honoring their end, My intention was to replace the old secured card with the new one, but events have gotten in My way, like new clothes(12prs socks, and such cotton bits), a new tire/rim for My car, I still need to buy 4 more tires since the old rubber is getting OLD, this happens, it's called wear and tear, in 2020 I should be able to get New prescription glasses, I can afford the prescription, which costs Me nothing beyond My time, but the frames and lenses are expensive, since that was privatized a few years back in hopes of shifting the cost of glasses to the patient and away from CA state government, making the glasses more expensive due to supply and demand, not a lot of supply drove the cost up due to demand for prescription glasses. In 2018 I will be able to get My teeth fully cleaned of plague, which up until now was reserved for Children only under Denti-Cal cause of the disastrous 2009 state budget cuts, on and after Jan 1st 2018 I can have that delayed dental done, and get a tooth or two replaced, one in My upper jaw would do nicely. Well the 55" Samsung TV has a circuit board problem, Samsung admitted this a while back, after I bought the TV, that they'd used cheap parts in some of their electronics, and it was what could be bought in this size back then, today a New/Refurbished TV from Walmart would be a 55" TCL 4K tv, that's about $418.64 w/tax and shipping to My house, and that doesn't include a HUANUO Universal Swivel TV stand($42.49, amazon, up to a 60" TV that weighs up to 60lbs in weight) that would allow the TV to sit where My present TV sits at. Total cost for a New TV from $461.13 from Walmart/Amazon that would be a usable TV for Me... Try and live on $895.72 a month, then you might find out that some things just can't be done, not without help, the market will not help, that takes money, and money is one thing I'm always in short supply of here... Since My income should be bigger, but it isn't, I have just enough income to keep the house running, but not enough to make a lot of repairs on the assumption that nothing ever breaks... I just had to open the rear door and scare off a stray dog that was barking near My place, it's 3:19am here... And I did not like doing that. Some might ask, why such a large tv? Cause there are 2 places to see the TV at here, one location is almost 25' away here at My "desk" and is fairly comfy, the chair is tearing up the floor here, yet is not uncomfortable to My back, and nearer to the TV on a broken recliner/sofa that can make My back hurt, I have to use a pillow to try and keep My lower back from hurting there, since the recliner/sofa is at least 23 years old, and I'm fairly heavy still. And I'd like to be comfy... Amazon does sell a 2017 model 55" Samsung 4K TV that with delivery would cost $628.88, if I were able yo have bought it, but I don't have enough room on an Amazon card to do that with, the limit there is $600.00, I'd have to have a credit limit increase for that.

And the TV is trying to turn on still, there is no picture and no sound. Symptoms we can fix: - TV is completely dead; no power. - TV has standby light but does not power on. http://www.shopjimmy.com/samsung-bn44-00424a-power-supply-led-board-repair-service.htm But that is why I bought a spare power board, I thought I could limp along, and get the board repaired, and then do a swap, not enough money chasing too much, strikes once again. If it's not this, then it's clothes or tires or something... Why a repair service? Cause I don't feel like spending $216.93 on a new power board on ebay. So I have a spare board that needs repair, and can be sent in, and this sucks. Since I would just have to do a power board swap.

You can't live on snacks and pop. I had a quick look at the GEM link you gave, and they talk about FHA Loans. An FHA Loan is a loan that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration and in return a borrower will pay mortgage insurance to protect the lender in the event that the borrower defaults. That is pretty much mandatory in the UK for any mortgage, because it is not the mortgage companies money they are lending, it's their investors money. And Mortgage protection policies aren't cheap either, and they insist upon a full house insurance policy as well to protect their asset in case of re-possession on default. That all goes on top of the monthly mortgage cost. You are not classed as a renter Vic because you don't rent your home, ONLY the land underneath it which it sits on. Most flats and maisonettes in the UK are bought leasehold and the same applies. The Freeholder is then responsible for the foundations and the roof of the property. In your case the Park is responsible for any subsidence not you, but there are limits as to what you can do on your plot. As before we all wish you the best in your quest to improve your living standards, but until your income increases substantially at age 65 there may be very little wriggle room. You may have to tread water and be patient. Good Luck :-) Thanks Chris S. Pop, yeah I have a few bottles, I'm thinking of pouring them down the drain, though so far I have not. Subsidence, the foundation under this manufactured home have not moved an inch since they were installed. Well I know what I was told, but no matter, I don't feel like debating this, I don't have the energy. My income will go up when I'm 62, by $236.00 a month, I know it's not a lot per month, but that is in the right direction at least, what the rest of My income will be like then? I have no idea. Vic

There aren't enough dumpsters(though it hasn't always been this way). 03. The summer is very hot here, and long, like 110 days at or above 100F. 04. It's noisy at times. 05. The fwy is nearby, and at times a parking lot. 06. I can't have a garage for My car here. 07. Solar is impossible here, I've been told that I'd need My own land for that. 08. My mailbox is 2.5 miles away. 09. I'm crowded in here, it's cramped. 10. You can hear the train in Daggett CA, that's 6.105 miles going directly as the crow flies, by road 8.445 miles. 11. That this 30yr old place can be fixed, if I had the money. 12. The flying insects here. 13. The free roaming dogs who poop. 14. There is no competition for cable out here, and there are no slower speeds either, 100/10 is all, tests frequently say 118/12. 15. I used to live 45 miles from My relatives, now they live 100 miles from My location, 200 mile round trip, and My tires are wearing out too. 16. I've lived here at this location since November 2006, and I've lived in the Park since July 2004. 17. Only having 100A electrical service. 18. Getting anyone to come out here to do any work can involve a trip charge. 19. No Pizza Delivery, instead I get to play fetch, a 12 mile drive to Barstow CA, woof! 20. I find finger prints on My car, I had someone open My car trunk once here, and I didn't authorize that, nothing was taken, not even cat hair, drat. 21. I have no neighbors next to Me, there are 2 sides to this. 22. I don't have enough room for the aquarium on one wall, where the weight would be supported. 23. There is no public transit, outside of dial a ride, which only allows 4 bags on board, and there is no place to sit and wait. 24. Going to the Doctor means a 12 mile drive, sometimes nearly 100 miles. 25. I almost don't live in California. 26. List=1 does not work on the website, or it's broken in FF 53.03 x64, looks the same as List, I had to enter the numbers Myself. 27. I forgot that I'm all out of Pepto Bismol(diarrhea medicine), and Mustard, so I have to drive 12 miles, and then drive 12 miles home, and I have $5.28 for gasoline in My wallet... 28. Too much soda... 29. The park has been sold 3 times since I've lived here. 30. I live in Yermo. 31. I can't think of anymore likes or dislikes. Likes: 01. It's quiet at times. 02. The i15 fwy is nearby, and there is the i40 fwy 8.5 miles from here. 03. My mailbox is 2.5 miles away. 04. No water meter. 05. The park starting to take care of the park, instead of a slum to suck money out of. 06. Repairs to the Park are slowly being made. 07. A small concrete fountain was built, with water pumps. 08. I have friends nearby, IRL and online. 09. Jack in the Box has great food. 10. I have neighbors next to Me, there are 2 sides to this. 11. There is a NEW Eddie World gas station nearby(or on Facebook), 16-pumps, 8-tesla super chargers, store, and a garden fresh cafe w/ice cream being built, oh and did I mention there's lots of guilt there? 12. I still live in California. 13. There is a Food4Less super market in Barstow CA. 14. My place has a clothes washer and dryer. 15. The park has not been sold again. 16. I live in Yermo. 17. I can't think of anymore likes or dislikes.
6246) Message boards : Cafe SETI : My Posts (Message 1895368) Posted 14 Oct 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The state doesn't see Me as a renter, why? Cause I rent the land under the home, plus I've not paid a mortgage in a while, though there is evidence of Me owning property in the past. And yes, I've been told this in the past. There is also SB-2 Building Homes and Jobs Act, as well as SB-3 for the down payment assistance, but I'll stick with SB-3, since SB-3 seems to do more, GEM Mortgage is a CalHFA lender, and GEM knows about SB-3, the phone number on the page at the link is the corporate number. Well part of the problem with this place, is I've been told that I can't borrow to fix this place up, since it is a single wide, a single wide is 12' or wider, a double wide is 24' or a bit wider and is divided into 2 pieces, a triple wide can be 36' wide or wider and is divided into 3 pieces, My home is 13.5'x60' in size. I know I could move My home, but that would cost money, which would be an unsecured loan, and I doubt that would be affordable, I've not found any sort of assistance in this area, and as I know I am not going to inherit any money from any living relative, that's been done already. Tear down: prep for moving Moving: $0.10 a mile, and the route is not like with an auto, since obstructions, weight, height and width are important, and some streets won't allow a home to go down the street. Obstructions could be telephone poles, lights, underground could have just about anything down there, and homes like this aren't light weight or even flimsy, at least not since 1976, when some nationwide standards went into effect back then. Since the land is about 60 miles away from here, that would be a very small cost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufactured_housing Setup: What I typed in below. I'd need a piece of land, I know of a lot(land) that costs $9,000.00 on a paved street that is suitably zoned, plus closing costs, which I think is 3% of the purchase price, everything is in the street(electric service, natural gas, water, cable tv/internet, and phone), except for sewer, so a septic system would need to be installed, as would fencing, a concrete foundation, a driveway and walkway, plus a 100A breaker pedestal, 200A does exist, that just costs a bit more, since I'd have to replace My 100A breaker box. And yes a construction permit would be needed that I'd go and secure, as would some minor details like generic plans(this is what was done here), supplied by the mover. I've omitted landscaping details, since that is not more than put a tree in the front yard, and some red gravel of a type that does tend to keep the weeds down, plus a small drip system for the tree. I've done most of this before, at one time or another. Estimated total cost, possibly as much as $25,000.00. But I've given up on that, as I have already mentioned. Thanks Chris S, ugh, yeah, did someone get the number of that Lorry that hit Me? Since I feel like I've been run over.

I can get the H55($58.00) and 1 tire($52.00, a 195/50x15 for a spare) in November, the other 2 tires($86.00, 2-185/60x15, this size won't fit in the car trunk properly, just very tightly) in December, and the 27" QNIX 2560x1440 monitor$159.99 in January or so(this is an upgrade from a 20" 1600x900 monitor). The Corsair N980 kit can be used with an Nvidia GTX970 video card, since the card is compatible with the N980. The 185/60x15 tire is about one inch larger than the 195/50x15 tire, I've used both sizes on the car that I drive. Once I get these, I can close down ebay for a while. And concentrate on getting rid of so many cards, ugh I don't want anymore cards, one of which is secured and is very expensive. All for a place like this, a 1254sqft double wide manufactured home, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, on a concrete foundation, on its own land which is 7458sqft in size, which can be rehabbed under state law now w/a grant, which would help with closing costs, everything but moving, and lent on since this is a 1982 double wide(a 24' or wider place), nothing can be done about my 1987 single wide(12' or wider): I'm sorry there are so many pics. A gardner will have to spray and remove the weeds, the gravel would stay. Nice Pine Tree, it's the soil, not much will grow without a lot of help, otherwise the same as the 1st pic, besides put in a new metal roof over the old roof. New windows and paint. Same as the 2nd pic. Same as the 1st pic. Maybe new door locks front(on left) and rear, door on right possibly a closet. Front room.

What about ice cream? I've had less problems, but then ice cream is colder still. Cold drinks do seem to be a trigger, they make the throat contract I gather, Me it just makes Me cough. And then I have the complication of having part of My stomach above the diaphragm, found that out in a cat scan back in Dec 2016. So I can cough and gasp for air like a fish, now all I need is gills, at least MD is green, well what I can buy that is.

But the gas furnace is fixed at last, after the furnace was adjusted some. Next is buying a 195/50x15 tire from Discount Tire Warehouse on November 1st, plus mounting the 185/60x15 tire on a 15x5.5" aluminum rim(front left) and the 195/50x15 tire on a 15x5.5" steel rim(full sized spare tire) for $6.00 a tire/rim. I may ask a plumber how much it will cost to fix the homes 2 plumbing problems, the toilet fill valve and garbage disposal, both need to be replaced with parts that I have. Then I'll just be back to minor electrical repairs, which I can take My time with, since I do have a few other things to do, and what is broke is bypassed for the moment, at least nothing is in danger of fire here. I'm still waiting for two Monoprice surge suppressors to be shipped, I'm going to email the seller on the 20th if they are not shipped by then, if I don't hear from the seller by the 27th, I'll be contacting Paypal, and maybe ebay. I should have bought from Monoprice directly($19.33 total), I think, the cost would have been an extra $3.35 for both, sigh, but sometimes money is short. But I'll get that sorted out, no one gets away with scamming Me, and I hope the seller is just new to this. $15.98 w/FREE shipping, Estimated delivery Wed, Oct 11 - Thu, Oct 19.

Ang asked me to turn it off. Among Eric's relics, I thought I also saw a car parked there. Nope. No car. That is all junk under that blue tarp. We did some serious earthquake retro-fitting earlier in the year and Eric had to move his junk under a tarp because we were shoring up a wall in the garage. In the hope of someday using our garage for its intended purpose, I had a handyman later install shelving units from floor to ceiling on the wall we had retrofitted. The junk has not yet come out from under the tarp and found its way onto shelves. Basically, our garage is one big black widow spider refuge. I should petition the government to have it designated a wildlife preserve. I can believe that Angela, the last house and garage that I owned, would get a black widow or two in the garage, no matter how clean I kept it, all near the rear entrance where the water heater was at, and yes I sprayed, though today I'd have someone spray Ortho Home Defense Max around the garage and around any vents.

I think that just watching videos is well within the processing capabilities of even rather old cards. It's probably either crunching Seti on the card is too much whilst trying to view videos, or your CPU is maxed out. I get lag sometimes when watching vids on my 980. And it's because the CPU is running at 100%. Have you checked usage of the GPU and CPU when you have this problem? You are running Win7 Pro 64, just like my daily driver. It has a CPU/RAM monitor widget. Bring that up and see how your CPU is doing when you have the problem. Well when this happened I was not crunching, nor watching a video, the card has 1.5GB on board, My motherboard has 16GB @ 1866MHz, and 1866MHz is not overclocked either, if it were Sandy Bridge instead of Ivy Bridge, then 1866 would be, 1866 is just an interesting tidbit. My GPU is an old PNY LC GTX 580, runs at 857 MHz.

I've discovered there's nothing I like enough to pay for a DVD or to want to watch often enough to own a DVD. I used to buy all the "good" (imho) DVDs as soon as they came out. I'm smarter now. I also won't buy a DVD just because I missed something on TV or wherever (like the Vietnam series). I'll find it somewhere, eventually. It'll air again on PBS or it will show up on one of the streaming services. +1 Yeah, I only buy DVD's that aren't likely to be on the air, more than once. Like Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse, it's anime, and a bit dark, or even dire... As the human species is threatened with extinction by an off world invader who eats humans, literally, did I say it was Dire? The 1st episode is quite, graphic or gorey...

If you don't need the functionality of that APC unit, then save some money and get all units in the second type you mention. However; if you do need the functionality of having side mounted electrical access, then by all means get one or more of the APC units. TL That's why I bought the APC, the Kitchen counter top in that area normally has an almost unused outlet, I am going to put My 2nd PC there, since the case fits under the overhead cabinets, and the outlet in question is right under the overhead cabinets, besides, this APC screws down, I couldn't find any other that did and has 6 side facing outlets, just APC.

Good luck, Vic. Ok, no problem.

My window a/c unit has a removable filter, some think wrongly that if the A frame has cat hair and dust on it, that the filter needs changing, the window unit filter gets cleaned everytime a RED led turns on, this last time I had to take the face plate off the LG a/c unit and vacuum clean the fins of cat hair and dust, the filters just can't stop the stuff, it doesn't matter if it's My gas furnace or My window a/c unit, and the face plate fits snugly against the metal casing.

Only positive, supportive replies to my posts are on-topic in this thread. Posts that are negative or critical will be removed as "off topic" posts. If you cannot be positive, please do not read my thread or post in my thread. I think a positive suggestion would be to say to this company, "Look, you don't need to know my personal financial details, but at the present time I can only afford to pay $300. What can you do for me within that budget restraint to get this furnace working? Does that A frame have to go to get it working? If any work that they deem necessary to do will cost more than that, then they have the option to choose to walk away considering the job uneconomic to get involved with. Maybe they can recommend someone cheaper? As a supportive comment, we all appreciate the financial situation you are in, but what none of us want is to see you using your gas oven to heat your place again like you did last winter. I was already told the A frame has to come out and why.

Yeah, a piecemeal war, adding more forces a little at a time, instead of over whelming numbers, fighting only in the South was futile, as long as the North was only bombed, the NVA had a free hand in the South, to stop the NVA would have required a land invasion of the North, bombing by itself did little, besides put off the Victory of the North over the South. That would have been the only way to stop the VC, since the VC were almost everywhere in the South. It didn't help that the SV government was biased against non-Christians, which helped the VC immensely. And it's like is said there, if the US had stayed out, victory by the North would have happened in 1966, instead of in 1976. But that is not what happened, sad to say.

That suggests there are other problems lurking around the corner with the air handling on your furnace or a/c (which ever those filters are from), or the system hasn't actually been used. Second thoughts - if something else was clogged with cat fur and other stuff then that might explain why air isn't being circulated properly through the filters. As Carlos said, get rid of that useless a/c frame - you've nothing on the 'fridge side so all it is doing is collecting cat fur etc. Removing this might cure might cure a few other problems with your furnace - such as the ignition/pilot light faults you've had in the past. I will, or rather H&B will, I'm going to be scheduled, I'm told it could take a couple of hours at $79 an hour, plus $13 for a trip charge out here, I'm not able to do the work.

Vic, in your case I would just take the AC-A frame out and leave the existing plenum. You also need to change your furnace filters more often. That should prevent the cat hair build up. I don't know how to do that, and I have trouble seeing in less than bright light, plus I am not able bodied anymore, so I have to pay someone to do that. The filters are custom sized and cut, and I looked at the other side, just as clean as this side, and these are the latest, installed about a year or two back.

Yes I do like spinach, swiss chard, yellow crookneck squash, corn on the cob, green bell peppers, tomatoes, all of which I grew with My own hands, and yes I could cook too, I could bake too, even as far as cooking a turkey, or homemade beef stew. There is an ongoing push to get kids to grow vegetables in order to get them to eat vegetables. Of course the logic is that they're more likely to eat them if they had a hand in growing them. Vic appears to be proof of this. Truth be told that was when I was 26, I was eating veggies long before that, mom was a fantastic cook, she could make the least expensive meat, melt in ones mouth. Some veggies She bought were tough and stringy, why? Cause dad was secretly sending part of His income to support a sister that I didn't know existed, at least until recently, mom would have divorced him in an instant, Those tough veggies I tried to eat, but ultimately gave up on, when I did that I was punished, by being sent to My room, with no tv or anything else. Dad being from the north did not like greens too much, dad and My brother liked liver, mom and Me did not like liver, My sisters? I have no idea, I never asked, and I can't ask now for obvious reasons. My paternal family was from Nebraska(from 1850) via South Dakota(1865 or so), and Idaho(1918), Oregon, then California in 1920. I am the descendant of immigrants, My family came to the US in 1850, after trying to stay in Canada in 1820, the family had lived in Ireland for 200yrs, cause King James the 1st invited people who were persecuted in France to settle in England or Ireland in 1620, My family went to Ireland, Wexford is where My oldest known named ancestor was born at.

It has saved me at least several thousand dollars over the years!! To be fair, Vic is not so fortunate. I wouldn't call it exactly 'fortunate', Chris. When I was younger, I studied handyman books and such. And when there was something that I wanted to do, I would find out how. Sometimes I could find a kind adult that knew how to do a job, and they would share their knowledge with me. Sometimes, I would go to the library and find a book about the task. Also read many magazines with how-to articles. People today are much more fortunate. With the internet, you can usually have the information at your fingertips in an instant. Back then, you had to look a bit harder to find it. Now, you can often even find videos on youtube with people SHOWING you how to tackle a task. Such as replacing a garbage disposal. Here is a vid of a lady telling you how, step by step. I have over the years, replaced the drain lines on the bathroom and kitchen sinks, both sets of faucets, and the kitchen sink itself. Rebuilt the faucets for the tub. So, I guess I am a neophyte plumber. I've replaced most light switches with automatic occupancy sensing ones, they turn the lights out automatically. Replaced many old receptacles with new ones. Replaced two electric hot water heaters. Repaired a fractured pipe in the basement that was spraying water all about. Plumbed a water line for the ice maker when I got a new fridge. In 37 years, I've replaced the toilet flush valve I don't know how many times. And the wax ring once. Helped upgrade my electrical service box. An out of work friend electrician installed the box and the mains connections. I finished the job and installed all of the new breakers myself. All done to code. I also added a 240v 50a subfeed box to power my Seti crunchers years later. I am an electrician by trade. Although never certified to do work for other people, I worked with a licensed master electrician for several years as an apprentice. And now I wire fire trucks for a living. I've maintained all of my automobiles. Everything from air cleaner and spark plug and tire changes, to water pumps, alternators, timing chains, a camshaft, v and serpentine belts, valve cover gaskets, carbeurators, fuel injectors, thermostats, an intake manifold, heater hoses, radiators, more than a few exhaust systems, and a power steering pump. Couple of ball joints, many starters, batteries, and installed a new engine in my little RX7. Once installed a lower A frame in one of my Buick Electra boats out on a residential street when the ball joint failed and left the tire sitting at a rather inopportune angle. Factory manuals are sooooooooooooooo helpful! So, I guess that makes me a motorhead as well. Helped re-shingle the roof a number of years back, replaced door locksets a few times, my window air conditioner several times, caulked the cracks, cleaned and sealed the gutters, replaced stove burner elements and a couple of broken windows. I guess that makes me a homeowner. I also studied many aspects of kitty husbandry, cared for one cat through her battle with CRF, another through her battle with cancer, and nursed a third through her final senior years until it was time for her to go. So I am better equipped these days to properly care for my kitties. But I do not think that begins to make me a vet. I could not begin to add up the money I have saved all these years by being a man who, when he is determined to do something, gets down to brass tacks and begins to learn how. Meowtinkertinker. Yeah I read the Readers Digest book on house repairs, I learned a decent amount, was able to wire up a few circuits, and add a ground wire to a light socket in a bathroom too, the light didn't have a ground wire before, but then I noticed new light sockets did have a screw for that, so I updated a circuit, it also taught Me what was hot, neutral, and ground, a very helpful book. Some people won't use a search engine, My sister in law is one of those, and to think She has a college degree. Still She is My sister in law. The kitchen faucet here was installed, after I'd bought it from the Home Depot, sometime around early 2007, about 5 or 6 years later the faucet began to leak along the spout, that leak is now gone, why? Calcium Carbonate deposits sealed the rusted out leak, and the faucet works as good as it ever has. I have replaced one outlet w/a GFCI outlet in a bathroom, and a light switch here in the kitchen, what is needed here to be repaired are in odd positions, though not all, I have had knee trouble since I was 12yrs old, when I was 11yrs I started growing in height, this stopped at age 12, then sometime later the growth started again, though more gradually. Toilet fill valves, yeah they are simple to replace, not so if one can't get up easily, being about 410lbs is not easy, there is this thing called gravity, it's a law even Congress can't repeal. Autos, even though I have knowledge, I've never worked on a car, at least beyond changing a flat tire for the spare tire. When I reroofed a garage, I did that in the most simple way that I could, I used some roofing nails, and rolls of roofing paper, I started at the bottom edge and made sure the rolls overlapped all the way to the peak, with a roll going on the peak last, the roof leaks stopped, all thanks to Me, I could have done the same to the house back in 1980, in theory, but that needed more work, since the garage roof was a lot more simple, than the house, and the house was visible from the street, which was across from a school, so it was decided to call a roofer, but I got the garage done, and to this day I don't think anyone has reroofed that garage, at least from what I've seen from google maps at street level, the garage is separate from the house and at the end of a long and narrow driveway, they did put up a gate on the driveway though, something that I had wanted to do, but money was short, and it is narrow there between the house and concrete driveway, and the driveway and the wooden fence. Oh and the roof used to be White, Brown might look good, but it's bad at reflecting heat. If I owned that house again, this time without My mom, I'd do things differently, the walls being balloon framed would get stops at the bottom below the floor to prevent any wall insulation from coming out, also I would fix the foundation, and make a new concrete back patio, and rear porch, as severe cracking had happened, before mom got the place, Her brother planted a banana tree next to the foundation, it cracked the whole thing, and I'd replace that fireplace, as it then had no damper, none at all, and the wiring is knob and tube, or at least it was then, today? Who knows, all I know is back in 1986 I sold the house for $120,000.00, then turned around and bought a condo, 2 years later I sold that with a $20,000.00 profit, right before the market for condos crashed I heard, oopsie, the condo didn't have cable tv, and the stupid treasurer wouldn't allow that in, even if the cable company replaced any plants that might be damaged, dumb ass treasurer, the only thing the treasurer wanted out of Me, was that I spoke fluent english, though she was perfectly understandable, so why did She really need Me as President of the HOA? I've no idea, but then in the 2yrs I lived there, We never had any meetings of the HOA, so go figure.

It has saved me at least several thousand dollars over the years!! To be fair, Vic is not so fortunate. it's also not being used, since the condenser unit that would sit outside the house, is gone, missing. That has not been mentioned before, how did that happen? In the UK propane gas is generally used for holiday homes and caravans, not for permanent living places. We have what we call Residential Parks, and retirement Lodges, a typical one is here. They usually have piped natural gas, mains sewage, and mains electricity. Park homes Where did the condenser go? That's not a simple answer. The a/c system used a type of freon that is no longer made, the condenser was obsolete, and since the condenser was not attached to the system, and would be expensive to run, considering how inefficient the old system was, the condenser had no value, except as scrap metal, so the condenser was traded for labor/parts on a repair here at one time, that got Me the newer blower for the furnace, the park was scrapping several places in the park under a previous park owner. The guy who did that is no longer around here. Which is why I have an LG 10,000 Btu window a/c unit, instead of an a/c system that is integrated with the furnace, which cools roughly 405sqft, as that was all that I could get, and the a/c unit was new, an energy efficient unit, a yellow tag came with the unit.

They all have to go through training to get their accreditation. If during the course of their work they come across a faulty gas appliance that cannot be repaired, or the owner cannot or chooses not to repair it. Then there are two courses of action. If an installation is classified as â€˜immediately dangerousâ€™ it is considered to be an immediate danger to life and property if left operating. The installation will be disconnected with your permission, and cannot be used until remedial work has been carried out to repair the defect(s). Continuing to use an immediately dangerous appliance could endanger lives. Should you refuse them permission to disconnect the installation or appliance and the appliance runs on natural gas, the gas engineer will report the situation to the Gas Emergency Service Provider (ESP). The ESP has legal powers of entry to make the situation safe, and are also able to disconnect the gas supply to the property. However, this does not apply to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) installations. There are different rules for rented properties Your landlord must arrange a gas safety check every 12 months. Only Gas Safe registered engineers are allowed to inspect or do repairs on gas appliances in your home. ... They can disconnect faulty equipment and arrange for your gas supply to be cut off. Gas Safe rules I don't know what the rules are in the USA. I believe Vic's furnace is 30 years old, in the UK that would likely have a do not use notice put on it, pending repairs or replacement. What must be worrying for Vic is that if that happens, he cannot afford to pay for a new furnace. In view of his age and disabilities, one would have thought that with winter approaching, there must be some sort of State or Government emergency funding somewhere for situations like this. I'm sure Vic will be looking into it. Not good news. If there is, I've never heard of one, there is one group who supposedly will repair a system, or maybe replace it, but the catch is, the system must not be working at all, otherwise they will do nothing, I gave up battering My proverbial head against the proverbial wall on that. This manufactured home was made in 1987, in a factory, and is a Fleetwood Westfield, is 13.5'x60' in size or 810sqft, the company that made My place went bankrupt in 2009, I bought the place used in 2006 in North Las Vegas NV, had the place setup here, as that was as far as My limited inheritance money would go back then. As to rented properties, I only rent the land, the manufactured home is one that I alone own, with no mortgage, and pay property taxes on. So the 'landlord' is under no such requirement here, normally a heater/furnace will be worked on if there is a problem, anything beyond that waits for the renter(a tenant) moves out, I'm not a tenant, I'm a resident. Some people decry safety regulations in the name of profit, and think no one will be hurt, or lose anything, the owner loses the use of His/Her property after a fire, in a mobile home park I don't know how the replacement process works, and the renter is now homeless and may have lost everything in the fire, and I don't want to go into insurance.

Replaced the oil burner unit itself many years ago, change the nozzle, check the air adjustment, check the heat exchanger with a smoke bomb (no leaks so far..........), and check the final exhaust going to the chimney with smoke test kit...same thing the professionals use. I have had to replace the flue pipe from the heat exchanger to the chimney a few times. They tend to corrode from the acids in the exhaust, but I can readily get replacement pipe from Meownards when needed, it's not anything specific to this furnace. But I still test fire and check the old furnace every fall just so I know it is ready to use if desired or needed. I also invested in a couple of CO alarms as a safety precaution just in case there would be a sudden failure or break in the heat exchanger That is exactly what I mean by being technically competent. In the UK oil burning systems are quite common in rural areas, in the main towns and cities it's all gas fired these days. Here there is a mixture of natural gas, if one is lucky, or propane gas tanks, propane uses different fittings, but is otherwise I think nearly identical to natural gas, natural gas is delivered by pipeline, propane is delivered by truck and pumped into a cylindrical tank, I don't know much about propane beyond this, so I won't speculate. Oil furnaces I have very little knowledge of. In the park everyone uses natural gas.

Sitting a few thousand miles away I can picture the scenario: They've sent a guy out to fix the problems as described by you, the customer, and find not only that problem but a number of others that make the proposed repair a non-starter, so they suggest that the best way forward is to replace the old furnace with a new one as that is better for their finances than sending out a stream of guys to replace this bit, then that bit, then the other. You, the customer feels shafted because nobody has explained to you the whole stack of problems with your thirty year old furnace. You the customer has no money to fund the new furnace, but, if the repairs of your old furnace amounted to more than the $300 you've budgeted for (via your sister-in-law) you can't afford to have it repaired. All this ignores the fact that there may be a legal issue with them repairing your old furnace, such as a design issue, or a (major) change in the law that results in it being illegal to repair, but not illegal to use while it is working.... You are, in effect, caught in the classical cleft stick situation - whatever you do (or they do) it's going to hurt :-( Rob, I have disagree with you here, but, the furnace only has one problem, besides being old, and that is a clogged a/c A frame, that's what the repair guy said, He even pulled out a tuft for Me to see, otherwise the furnace is in good shape for being old. An a/c A frame sits in the air stream that the furnace uses, beyond that I won't say. The A frame, looks like this, and is the cause of the furnace not shutting off, it's also not being used, since the condenser unit that would sit outside the house, is gone, missing.

They restrict the air flow so much, they put a strain on the blower motor. We have a medical type HEPA filter unit running 24/7 (HoMedics AR 10A) because my partner has COPD and uses inhalers. It has a red light on it that comes on when the filter needs cleaning. It works precisely on the basis that a clogged air filter restricts the air flow. Likely it electronically monitors the voltage/current that the motor needs to maintain the air flow, and flags it up when it gets too high. HoMedics In the case of vics heater unit, He is non-technical so probably didn't know that it has a filter, didn't realise that it needed cleaning, and probably couldn't have done it anyway. Now it seems that at 30 years old it is likely it cannot be repaired but needs a new one that he can't afford. But that's another story. 1. The furnace did not have a filter when I bought the place. 2. I did know it needed one, but this is not your ordinary forced air system, the cover is meant to hold any filters, ones for a house won't work. 3. I have owned houses before, not manufactured homes. 4. Non technical? LOL Anything more will be in My thread, not here, you too can post there, just be civil.

Go figure. Shipping weight is 19.30lbs. I also bought some black rubber valve stems, they have not shipped just yet, 4-$1.07. I'll need to test fit the rim to see if the rim will clear My front disc brakes, it should, but one can never be too careful, so I'll ask My neighbor if He could help with this, at least it will be on the concrete side instead of the rocks.

I found that 15x5.5" Ford made Escort zx2 rim again, it's the same type as I use now, it's $60.00 w/FREE shipping, and the rim comes with no center cap, so there goes another $9.44 when I have enough for that, plus $46 for the tire, and $6.00 for mounting and balancing, just so I can have a spare tire for My car, otherwise My car will shred a tire again. Then I still need to replace 3 more Nankang 185/60x15 tires, which other people have said have given them trouble, as in going flat with no real warning. I'm lucky I will be able to get My homes gas furnace working on Monday, I just hope this doesn't cross $300.00, since that is all My sister in law could send. Flue not withstanding.

I am aware that at present that you have little choice but to live where you do. Although why you chose to live there in the first place I am not aware of. There are benefits and downsides to living in many areas of the world. Personally for me the Western Mediterranean area would suit me fine with its climate. However circumstances and finance preclude that. Well it all revolves around income, other areas outside of the High Desert or the Mountains are too expensive, housing prices the closer one gets to Los Angeles gets more and more expensive. a 1200 sqft house could cost from $80,000 to $100,000 in the Desert, the mountains would be a bit higher at $165,000.00, Fontana CA could be near $250,000 minimum, My grandpas old place that was built in 1920 in Culver City CA last I looked was valued at about $586,000.00, Culver City CA is next door to Los Angeles CA.

I doubt I have enough income for a loan, if I did, I'd need less. I had to read that twice to understand what I think you meant. I assume what you intended to say was that you would need $22K as a down payment including having to fix your own car up as part of the part exchange deal. Being totally realistic Vic, no dealer selling those sort of vehicles would be interested in taking your Escort in the condition it's in, off your hands. And in any case If you had access to that sort of finance wouldn't you be considering buying this house that you've been going on about for the last 5 years? Talking of which. I doubt I have enough income for a loan, You already know you haven't, you looked into this before and told us all about it. You have no assets, so unsecured loans on minimal income, at your age, are non starters. Anyone that could afford to buy a Veyron would have enough sense to put it in the garage and sit on it. It would appreciate faster than any bricks & mortar or stocks & shares. I made a big mistake years ago when the Government sold off the DMC company in Ireland. Hundreds of brand new gull wing DeLoreans were liquidated. Had I bought one of them at the time it would have been a good investment. No, not in the cars current shape, I'm slowly working to change that, My income will go up, by $236.00 a month, when I'm 62, and not a minute sooner either. Everything takes time. The $22,000.00 isn't a down payment, some is for repairs to My current car($950), some is for more appropriate seats for the other car($2,600), a K&N air filter($60?), a brace on the front struts, maybe a ford branded subwoofer, black leather seats in the desert are not appropriate in the least, black leather seats get really hot here, so saddle colored seats would be required, and reskinning air bag equipped seats might be a tricky business, since they contain small explosives I think. Carmax will buy a car like mine, I doubt it would be for much more than $898.00, though anything is possible. Blue book for a 1999 ford escort zx2 ranges from $947 to $2,797. The car in question is $15,599+2,800(DMV, sales tax, other misc fees)+949(Carmax transfer fee) or $19,348.00 total. And this car is just an example of what would physically fit Me, My current car was never roomy, I don't worry about them coming and going, there are plenty. I do have plans for paying down My cards and credit line, but I do have to get clear of a few obstacles in My path first, this would eventually increase My apparent income, that and one card has to go, the oldest card is a secured card, that card is expensive and is blocking the other master card from being reported, besides that secured card could pay down another card, once paid off, and still have some left over for another card.

All of them combined cost less than a second hand Mustang, and only the CBR 1100 hurts when it needs a service (original Carby model, not fuel injected). My favorite bike, was a torque monster, a 1984 Suzuki GS1150ES, complete with a matching blue chin fairing, a 4-1-2 exhaust pipe, and a sporty rack behind the seat, it might be air cooled, but it was as close to being launched from a catapult, as I've ever been, top end was 145mph, I did 125mph, I could have pegged the limit on that bike, but My off ramp was coming up at warp speed, and shift change doesn't last forever.

Not to mention aerodynamics....LOL. So it goes to figure that the GT would have a much higher top end. What made those big old Buick boat anchors so much fun to drive was that the 455 had very strong stump pulling torque at the bottom end. Crack those 4bbls open and they would launch well enough to surprise some folks. The V6/GT also had a 6 speed automatic, in 2018 the V6 was dropped(since the I4 has identical hp and better mpg), and a 10 speed automatic was added(developed jointly with GM), the 2018 GT also has 455hp.

A 2006 Mustang GT w/300hp can do 120mph easily, in fact I got one to 135mph, I didn't go any faster, why? Not enough road, so I had to stop, the road I was on at the time is fairly straight, like an arrow. Like the one below. Though I'd never own a 2005-2006 ever again, these models on cold freezing nights would eat the battery, it was later fixed in the 2007 and newer Mustangs, I was told this by the dealer who since was sold to someone else. It was the master power relay doing the deed, the 2006 Mustang GT got 23mpg, the V6 19mpg.

If they were then all well and good.

Well I found out in an email, that the rim is supposedly for a 2001 Hyundai Elantra which uses the same front 257mm brake discs, 4x100 bolt pattern, uses a 15"x5.5" rim, and from what I've read the same 45mm offset that My 1999 Ford Escort zx2 sport Hot Coupe has. So I emailed Carid about this, but then My car does use the same running gear as a 1990-1998 Mazda Protege/323, so a Hyundai would not surprise Me as being another Mazda derived car, they'd not put the type of car this was for in the Ad, and yet said the Dorman rims are specific, some how I don't buy that.

That's $46.00(tire)+38.91(rim)+16.00(mounting & balancing) for a total of $100.91, and yes I didn't misspell Sentury, it's a tire that's made in Thailand for Discount Tire Warehouse which has a 40K mileage warranty. And the tire is not a directional type, though it's supposed to be an all season tire. And then I'll have a full size spare, the other 3 Nankangs will get replaced, other people have reported problems with them, but not until after Xmas. H rated tires are what came with My car as standard equipment. My neighbor thinks part of the tread may have separated from the tire, since @ 75mph and above the car would vibrate, below that smooth.

That's 1 inch difference - don't even think about using the 185/65x14 as a spare. Actually I've just run the sizes through a tyre manufacturer's comparison calculator and come up with : 185/65x14 = 23.5 185/65x15 = 23.7 Did you remember that its 185/65x14 and not 185/60x14? The 0.2 inch difference is just about acceptable, but, and a very big but, the sidewall flex on the 185/65x14 will be so much more than the 185/60x15 as to throw the whole car way out of balance as to make it dangerous even at quite low speeds, never mind freeway speeds. (skinnies get away with this by having much stiffer sidewalls, and clever construction, when compared to "normal" tyres) The sizes I mentioned: 185/65x14 standard for My car's base configuration(Cool Coupe) 23.5" 185/60x15 what My car is equipped with as part of the Hot Coupe 23.7" These sizes are updated and are from tiresize.com, a tire(tyre) calculator. https://tiresize.com/tires/Ford/Escort/1999/ZX2/ These 2 are some of the tires My wheel wells can handle Here's a size that is close to the 185/60x15: 195/55R15 23.4x7.7R15 23.4" And it's a bit larger in width, but smaller in height, just 0.3" or 1.3% smaller. I'm going to call My neighbor with the 185/60x15" spare tire and ask if I can see if it fits in My trunk, but I have to wait until 5:30pm, it's now 3:51pm. 185/65x14 is not one of them

And having done a very quick search I came across Bells Auto Parts & Wrecking, 8777 San Fernando Rd, Sun Valley, CA 91352 on the first page not that far away. On a very old car you often find that genuine spare parts are not made any more, and that pattern parts are hard to come by. So yes, using a car breakers is sometimes the only way to keep a car on the road. But you don't ever buy s/h tyres. Even though upon inspection they might look OK you don't know how many times they have been kerbed, weakening the side wall. Many years ago in the 60's I ran a Triumph Herald t that took 560 x 13 tyres. You could fit 590 x 13 tyres on the rims and get a heck of a load more mileage. But only on the rear, the front would make the steering too stiff. Probably an MOT failure today to mix tyre sizes. like that. (That was of course with the original cross plys not modern radials) In my case I had just bought an old 2nd hand car so didn't even know tyre history of tyres on the car, but it had no spare and one wheel had a few dents in the rim. So decided to look for recycled ones, at the 3rd or 4th scrapyard, we found a similar car that had only been brought in a few days before after an accident. It had been rolled and I got all 5 wheels and tyres, which looked in better shape and had more tread than my originals. I also took the seats, they were a matched set the originals weren't, and the boot (trunk) lid. Sounds like you scored a win.

For a few parts that is indeed necessary, mainly body parts, and parts that are not made by 3rd party car part makers, most parts are available, and My car has engine, transmission, and running gear in common with the '90-'98 Mazda Protege/323, like giving the car 4 wheel disc brakes as an example. The car does get 33mpg, which is not bad for an 18yr old hunk of junk. Depending on the route taken that is between 133.0 miles and 160.3 miles according to bing maps, one way, 131.9 to 159.5 miles on the return trip, if I were to drive there, I can find any junkyard type parts on ebay, saves a lot of driving, not to mention gas money, the car gets 33mpg at best.

I've only used a space saver spare once, and that was twice too often. Given Vic's spare was off the rim I would hazard a guess that it had never been fitted or checked in all its long life, which shows how often it has been needed, and how often it was checked. I don't quite understand why the tyre place couldn't use one of those quick blast machines they all have to re-seat the tyre, unless of course it had aged so much that the bead and sidewall had broken apart (unless of course they make more money flogging another new tyre instead of re-seating an old one, on the other hand I've never known a tyre fitter not accepting the fiver to re-seat a tyre) The tire was mounted right, and used at least once, though only once by Me, the tread was almost smooth, deflation in a compact spare will happen above 50mph. The local tire place could not reseat a tire on such a narrow rim, so the compact spare is junk, and is going in the trash.

Compact spares are very limited, 50mph max or they deflate, 50mph is a bit too slow on a fwy, whose speed is in excess of 55mph, between Yermo and Barstow the fwy is the direct route, the 2 other routes are longer.

The Busbaar, though, comes down from a fixed position, hooking into a bus that parks beneath it, via a large copper bar installed on top of the vehicle. The idea is to install it at stations where buses stop for a few minutes at a time, in high-traffic areas or at the end of the route. The bus will get in a quick charge, enough to top off the battery. When charging is complete, the pantograph pops back up into the Busbaar's stand and the bus gets going again.

Achieving five-minute charges will require not only further improving the charging system, but also improving the interface with the electrical grid. As it is, only some places on the grid can handle 120-kilowatt charging. Drawing large amounts of power from the grid also incurs demand charges from the utility, increasing the cost of the system. But Straubel says that Tesla plans to get around these problems by equipping supercharging stations with solar panels and batteries.

I wish the a/c in My car worked fully, maybe one day, I've already put in about $300.00, and I'm thinking to get at the last leak or leaks that are under the dash, might involve another $300.00, I'd hope to be wrong, but it is a Ford dash, that requires special tools and such to remove, and then to reinstall.

Part V (Message 1888342) Posted 7 Sep 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Any tyre will do that, its usually caused by running with an underinflated tyre - the tyre flexes too much - overheats - and the tread separates from the carcase. Far too many people never bother to check their tyre pressures from one month to the next, then load their car to the absolute limits and wonder why they get a blowout. That picture was very unlikely to be a nail or puncture, just a blowout. Also car tyres age. I just recently had to buy 4 new ones to replace those with low mileage on them, I doubt they were more than half worn. But the sidewalls were starting to crack, and I was advised by my professional mechanic that they simply weren't safe. The car does minimal mileage each year so that's is the price you pay for that. You still see pieces of lorry tyres on the side of main roads in the UK, but it is now illegal to use re-treads or re-cuts on anything except agricultural off road vehicles. The law on second hand tyres is grey. A couple of years ago a local el cheapo garage round our way had a sign offering part worn tyres for Â£15. I reported them to trading Standards and the sign came down. In the UK the annual MOT will usually warn you with an advisory if your tyres are dodgy and not likely to last the coming year. I had the car fully loaded yesterday, 3 humans and 3 dogs, plus the trunk was loaded . I assume at best just two passengers plus yourself. You weigh 420 lbs, the same as three normal people. That makes the load equivalent to 5 people, plus luggage plus dogs, in a small Ford Escort. I would suggest that you simply failed to realise that you overloaded your car. If that was 3 passengers plus yourself that was illegal overloading. Doctors Office said 416, not 420.

I remember a long time ago you used to see those treads peeled off and littering the highways. Nowadays, not so much. Well I do see parts of retreaded truck tires on the roads, just bits and pieces, mostly tread, sometimes cords. Reminds Me of the problem Firestone used to have with some of their tires. @ Rob Smith, I did have more weight in the car than normal the day before, not for long of course, so to get to Barstow on the compact spare that a neighbor will put on the rear, I have to drive 20.8 miles @ 45mph, the compact spare tire won't go faster than 50mph before going flat, the direct route is about 5 miles shorter, but is on a fwy part way there, the long way is all paved, and is one of 3 ways to get from Yermo to Barstow or vice versa. I doubt a regular tire/rim will fit where the compact spare goes, that would cost $96.60 for the tire/rim right now, if I were able to buy an extra tire and rim, plus another $16.00 for mounting and balancing, $112.60 aluminum rim(stock) to $113.50 currently w/a steel rim(aftermarket w/the correct rim offset).

Nasty firmware update butchers Samsung smart TVs so bad, they have to be repaired On the plus side, at least they didn't explode Owners of Samsung smart TVs say their swish sets are basically unusable after a bungled firmware update. In fact, the update was so bad, it looks as though it will require people to send or bring their televisions back to base for repair to correct the cockup. Folks on Samsung UK's support forums report that an update released on August 8 rendered many newer smart sets â€“ such as 50-inch Ultra HD and 49-inch 4K displays â€“ worse that dumb TVs, because dumb TVs actually work. Judging from the dozens of complaints, the gear functioned as expected prior to getting the most recent firmware upgrade from the South Korean giant. After that software is installed, the space-age tellies are stuck on a single channel, the remotes don't work, the volume can't be adjusted, or they are just totally inoperable, it is claimed.

I know of about 14 or so things I'd do: Fix a friends Jeep 4x4(they live outside the park, one is in the ER now), fix My current car, buy a newer car and use the current car as a trade in at Carmax, buy a bigger place, upgrade the newer place, hire a mover, move out of here(which is why I would fix the 4x4), fix up this place, pay the property taxes for 2017 on My current place(as the county wants), give this place to an other friend here in the park, sign the old place that I'm living in now to the other friend in the park(making Him the owner), signing a quit claim deed(getting My name off the title), move Him in, and hand Him the keys, do some final business at the local Post Office, and at long last I'd be out of this area.

Theoretically yes. Modern day SAMs like the 40N6 that travel at speeds of Mach 6 can intercept an SR 71 within an operational range of 250 miles upto an altitude of 18 miles. Moreover, the hostile SAM will fire a salvo of missiles(at least 2-3). So the SR 71 will have to jam, drop decoys and out manoeuvre the incoming hostile missiles.Modern day SAM systems can be loaded with libraries of 3D shapes that can be used by the seeker to identify targets and threats. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/16377/could-sr-71-be-shot-down-today Still any missile back when it was flying had this problem, a lack of fuel, I'm sure the top speed is still classified, in any case the SR-71 is at least adequate for doing Mach 1.5, and it has the range too, not bad for plane that uses a decent amount of Titanium.

The nearby Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, is home to some 200 species of birds, including Canada geese, bald eagles, black-necked stilts and great horned owls (above). Will the owls appear and begin to hoot when day turns into night? While not within the path of the total eclipse, Last Chance Camp in Cheyenne, Wyoming, says the sun will have 97.5 percent coverage and offers both tent and RV camping sites. You can also visit the Pawnee National Grasslands just over the border in Colorado to see raptors such as eagles and prairie falcons as well as elk, bighorn sheep, burrowing owls and prairie dogs (above). Will these rodents dive into their burrows as the sky darkens? Hopkinsville, Kentucky, is close to the â€œpoint of the greatest eclipse,â€ where the sun and moon align most perfectly. Christian Way Farm nearby is offering sites for primitive camping as well as a place to park and view for noncampers. It is only about an hour and half to Illinoisâ€™ Shawnee National Forest, another great place to not only view the eclipse but also animals such as beavers, grey and red foxes, bobcats and bats, including the endangered Indiana bat (above). Keep an eye to the skies for bats emerging during the eclipse.

Just keep in mind that if you don't pay it this month, it will probably be added onto next month's bill, making your rent then more like $570. I'll see what happens next month. Since that $331.80 is the bill for this month as far as the manager is concerned. The park got a discount for the errors He told Me. So I got the oil changed, the headlights cleaned, bought some groceries, got some supplies for the blood and urine samples in the morning, and I bought some gas for the car.

A German startup is preparing to set up the first telecommunication infrastructure on the lunar surface. The German company Part Time Scientists, which originally competed for the Google Lunar X Prize race to the moon, plans to send a lander with a rover in late 2018 to visit the landing site of Apollo 17. (Launched in 1972, this was NASA's final Apollo mission to the moon.) Instead of using a complex dedicated telecommunication system to relay data from the rover to the Earth, the company will rely on LTE technology â€” the same system used on Earth for mobile phone communications. "We are cooperating with Vodafone in order to provide LTE base stations on the moon," Karsten Becker, who heads embedded electronics development and integration for the startup, told Space.com. "What we are aiming to do is to provide commercial service to bring goods to the moon and also to provide services on the surface of the moon," Becker added. I don't quite get the point. Are they planning to use the LTE for their rover to communicate with a base station, which will relay the signals to Earth? Are they going to send a whole fleet of rovers? Or are they expecting someone to suddenly build a colony there? From what I read, it's rover to base station.

Beg, borrow, steal a heavy duty* extension cord and keep the refrigerator cold. Have a guess that the breaker is getting old and trips easier than it should. Some brands are much worse than others. *14 AWG Don't try one of those 18 AWG two wire cords, you will burn the place down. Yeah, I went to the Home Depot, I've wired a shed and it passed, so yes I bought a 14 gauge 25' extension cord, a Husky brand cord, like this one, yes the refrigerator works again. The clerk thought a 16 gauge would do, I told Her it was a refrigerator, that's a fairly big load. And I helped a friend, got $5 for that, plus a free soda too. 18 sounds like a lamp cord, too skinny. And I got a 3' power strip, which I plugged the microwave into, like this one.

Published August 11, 2017 Fox News Police have released security camera footage of a BMW that fell seven stories off of a parking garage in downtown Austin, Tex., in July. The driver suffered serious injuries in the incident, but she did survive. Apparently, the driver mistook the gas pedal for the brake, and drove through the retention wires of the open walled building. After slamming into the ground, the car hit a passing SUV, but inflicted only minor damage and did not injure its driver. Last September, another car drove through the retention wires of the same garage and was left dangling nine stories in the air, but didnâ€™t fall. Its occupant managed to get out and back to safety with the help of another driver who was on the parking deck when it happened. The garage is currently closed as a structural engineer assesses the situation. Security camera at ground zero.............. Indeed, 7 stories, wow!

It will find the lowest priced gas along your route at the best places for you to stop based on your car's range. Really cool features. Around here, Food4Less is usually the lowest or among the lowest in Barstow CA, but then you can see their fuel prices from the i15 fwy, on Thursday the price was $2.659, the $0.10 discount made that $2.559, so My $10.00 bought 3.908 gallons of gasoline, instead of about 3.760 gallons, I know it's not a lot, but that is 0.148 of a gallon more for the same $10. I have gas buddy on one of My browser tabs, no need for an app, since My free phone has a limited amount of space, not enough ram really, and if I load more than I have, some apps can't get updated.

It's a book with interstellar intrigue, some warfare, dealing w/space aliens, drugged out people, women or the lack, and subterfuge, plus a little digging up of an artifact or two, of Klee technology, one piece named Bertha, short for "Big Bertha"...

Is the water running along the outside or is it actually coming out of one of the vent holes on the bottom, from inside the disposal? The water is coming from where the lower black pipe meets the disposal. Yeah it's a bad angle, I may try again in the morning. Does the lower pipe have a hole, split, or something? Should there be a clamp to secure it as there is on the upper hose? Or is the leak from the side of the machine? The leak is coming from between the pipe and the disposal. The pipe has 2 screws securing the pipe to the disposal. I'll take a pic on Friday, but then outside of going to get the mail at the Post Office, I'm not doing much on Friday, though that could change. I don't know if this disposal uses a gasket between the pipe and disposal, though for all I know, it might, heck I don't even know who made it. The upper hose at least uses a clamp, but that comes from the dishwasher. The disposal was new in 2006, and all the plumbing was replaced before I bought the place. I'm exhausted.

In fact, the states don't know if you have insurance. If you get stopped for a traffic offense, you have to show proof of insurance, but it's not something that's in their computers. In California Auto Insurance is a required thing to have by State Law, it's not optional, this year I also have to pay to prove My car meets smog regulations, and yes it passes, in some areas cars are tested on what amounts to a treadmill, here that treadmill is not required, just a wand up the tail pipe and a visual inspection like in the rest of the state, and like in Illinois I didn't mean to imply that insurance isn't required in Illinois. It's just not data the state tracks. Like I said, if you get pulled over you have to show proof of insurance or get a ticket for not having it, even if you don't get one for whatever it was you were pulled over for. Emissions testing is only done in Illinois in the Chicago and St. Louis metro areas. It used to be done on a roller with a tailpipe probe, but now they just plug their computer into your car's computer port. No problem David, all states are different, some grumbled when auto insurance was made mandatory in CA, not anymore.

I just found that I have a water leak under My kitchen sink, from where the water exits the disposal, thankfully it's a two sided sink, but it means I can't use the disposal side, not until a plumber has been here. I need a plumber, and hopefully not a new disposal, hopefully no mold remediation is needed, whatever that black stuff is, I think it's been there a while, what is on the linoleum I think can be scraped off, what is on the fiberboard, hmm, dug out maybe. This may be difficult for Me to do, still I need a plumber. The water was seen coming out where the lower pipe exits the disposal. On Amazon a new Waste King 1/3hp disposal with labor to install $119.30 at the moment, which includes an adapter for a dishwasher, which I do have, that's the upper black hose, it's the lower black pipe that leaks. To replace this disposal and get rid of the water leak, only requires another $77.30 currently($119.30 total), I've got $42.00 on My amazon card, still until I do have enough, I will be having to use the left side of the sink, the left does not leak. The black gunk on the linoleum came up with a scraper, probably some sort of sealant from a prior sink.

I suppose that sensibly you can't. But it is yet another example, and a good one I might say of the USA NOT being United at all. Just a collection of effectively 50 different countries with local Presidents and their own laws. Commit murder in one State you get executed, do it in another you just go to prison. But I suppose the attractiveness of your plates does beat ours as were are so regulated with what we can do. But having a country wide system we can go online and find out whether any vehicle number is taxed. insured, Mot'd and when they run out. Do you have that? When our system was designed, travel and communication from one place to another took days to weeks, so a certain amount of decentralization was necessary. There was also, at the time, fear of letting the federal government be too strong; we had, after all, just thrown off an oppressive monarchy and didn't want to establish one of our own. With that in mind, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution says "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." With modern travel (NY to LA in a few hours) and near-instant communications (especially data), some functions would now make more sense at the federal level, but there would be a lot of protests against any effort to shift them there at this point. Congress does pass regulations that encourage the states to get together and standardize their practices to the degree necessary to cooperate with each other. There is also a clause saying every state has to respect the laws and court rulings of every other state (which got a lot of discussion in the build-up of same-sex marriage). Who a particular plate is issued to and whether it's taxed, insured, etc. are considered to be private information. In fact, the states don't know if you have insurance. If you get stopped for a traffic offense, you have to show proof of insurance, but it's not something that's in their computers. In California Auto Insurance is a required thing to have by State Law, it's not optional, this year I also have to pay to prove My car meets smog regulations, and yes it passes, in some areas cars are tested on what amounts to a treadmill, here that treadmill is not required, just a wand up the tail pipe and a visual inspection like in the rest of the state, and like in Illinois, counties don't matter on the plate, which can be White w/Blue lettering, or the newly reintroduced Black w/Yellow lettering, so far the Blue plate special w/Yellow lettering is still a rarity, since I don't think that was reintroduced, also the older Yellow plate w/Black lettering has so far not made an appearance.

If you don't have cable/satellite, your S.O.L.)

Not sure where you get your information but the town was named after the original developer of the town, Ernest Jay Primm. Before that it was named Stateline. It's never been named Primm and Proper. As for houses and apartments, in 2002 52 apartment buildings were constructed in Primm to serve as housing for employees at the three casinos. The Official population is around 450-500. And there are houses out there. I worked on a solar project out there for about 6 months. There was one house, next to the airport, in particular that a lot of my guys would visit every night.

Freezing the fish perhaps is enough. For many years, the Swedish Food Administration has suggested that salmon to be eaten raw or almost raw must be frozen in order for any parasites to be harmless. But it is no longer necessary. The reason is, above all, that farmed salmon is not fed with fish residues, which can contain parasites, but are grown on pellets. However, this applies only to farmed salmon - all wild salmon, like almost any other farmed fish, will still need to be frozen for three days, even longer if the fish is really big. This is what I found when I did a search... http://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/new-salmon-tapeworm-concern-article A new study has found that some salmon off the coast of Alaska carry the Japanese broad tapeworm, a small and unpleasant fellow previously confined to northeastern Asia. If you'd like to know how he operates, may I suggest the lede of this Washington Post story about a "Japanese man with a fondness for chilled salmon"? It's very vivid. (The man, for his part, was swiftly cured of his condition by a round of anti-worm medication.)

Worth a try! I think they are looking at the issue of disruption to lung movement relating to your stomach position. Common question relating to apnea (I have been asked them) are are you overweight (especially around the neck) or have suffered brain injury or neurological issues...? (Restless leg seems to be another question asked.) Oxygnation of blood can be checked with the same (similar) device they clip on your finger to monitor your pulse. I guess they want to check what you are up to when you are supposed to be asleep.. Maybe you are a sleepwalking disco dancer or maybe you astrally project like all good SETI BOINCers :)~ 410lbs, around My neck, no, mainly My abs, and thighs. I used to weigh 32lbs more, the Doc said I'd lost 35lbs. Sorry I don't sleepwalk, or snore, although if I have to, I will get up and use the bathroom. Mom did try to teach Me to dance, mainly "the Waltz". No to brain or any neurological issues. Oh sure I have 2 scars on My head, one from tripping on a heater floor grate when I was 3yrs old on to My forehead(think Frankenstein's monster or Hermann Munster, this I had to be told about, My memories start around 5yrs old), and a small one hidden above My hairline when I ran into the back end of a pickup truck while carrying some groceries home on My bicycle when I was 9yrs old(that I do remember), plus I was exposed to 2nd hand smoke for most of My life, My parents both smoked.

That was then; now it's TV longest running comedy. Not since 'The Flintstones' in the '60s has a cartoon series drawn such a large adult audience, and, ay caramba, given us pop-culture expressions for the ages. And in 1999, Time magazine called it the best TV show of the 20th century.

So I'm looking at getting some extra O2, from either a bottle or a portable O2 generator. From what I read a lack of adequate O2 can be a cause of depression, most drugs didn't have any effect on Me.

My left lower leg is the one where I have 3 titanium screws, the one where I'd broken My leg in late 2002 and dislocated both hip joints in a fall, one audibly so, thunk! And that would be the right hip joint. I'm also going to ask to be tested to see if I need extra O2, since I've been feeling really tired and sleepy lately.

The ham comes in a 1.5lb resealable package at Food4Less. And of course that is 2 slices of ham. Stop counting calories and start counting carbohydrates. If you eat a zillion calories but cut out the carbs & sugars, you'll be a much healthier person. And you have to watch out for processed lunch meats. They're carb carriers. And for a sandwich, find bread with the lowest carb count per serving (usually two slices). Just sayin'. :-) My bread has 5% for carbs, and the sliced ham is 1% for carbs.

It's probably packed with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and/or other sweeteners, meaning it should be consumed only occasionally and in moderation. Anyone who is still consuming HFCS should stop! It is evil! Consumed sugar makes fat. No it has no sugar, or high fructose sweetener, I've been drinking it for years with no ill effects. The only sweetener is Aspartame, and it's 3rd on the list of ingredients, which I've read... The FDA approved its use in 1981, and The European Food Safety Authority concluded in its 2013 re-evaluation that aspartame and its breakdown products are safe for human consumption at current levels of exposure,[7] corroborating other medical reviews.

I suspect that a lot of these sites will be seeing an increase in traffic, both in and out, so I wonder how long before one of the others, flickr, imgur, etc suddenly start to charge? Or if you want "free" you have to agree to an advert being added to your picture. Make the most of it, I suspect this is the beginning of the end of the "free internet". Well, either that or there shall be more smaller startups that will be happy to make do with the advertising revenue they can generate providing a free service to fill the niche that Photobucket has created with their greed. If I were an investor with deep pockets, that's where I would go right now. Maybe call it Photowagon. I have never seen a tiny pic popup with a survey. Occassionally they make you watch or read an add then give you a password to enter. Enter the password and you get a link. The pictures never have an add once posted.

I still need to buy and install 3 new dual pane vinyl windows, one manager here said why don't you install aluminum framed windows? They'll cost you less. Of course they cost less, a dual pane aluminum window is no better than a single pane aluminum framed window, since aluminum transmits heat, it's the same metal used in cpu heatsinks.

7260) Message boards : Number crunching : My Computer Builds And Other Projects (Message 1877882) Posted 12 Jul 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Now Vic, over the years you have spent at least as much on parts as I have, but other than some pic's of new and old stuff what have you got to show for it all? A fortnight ago I got given back an old C2D E6300 (1.86GHz) rig that I built 10.5yrs ago, I swapped out the 9800GT for 1 of my GTX 550Ti's and in that time it has passed the RAC of that i7-4820K with GTX 580 rig of yours. So what are you doing and if you get all that kit together are you going to be able to afford the power bills to support it all? Cheers. Well the 970 is going to replace the 580 card, it's an upgrade, and the 970 uses only 170w vs 300w for the 580. You have to remember, and I don't know if you've read My about Me post here(Profile), but I'm not exactly able bodied anymore, if you have, please forgive Me, it's hard to keep track of those who know, and those who don't. As to how much output, I have the PC doing seti only on video right now, and only for 7 hours a night, it's not that I couldn't run more, it's the fact that the a/c unit here is only 10,000 BTU, it gets very hot here in the desert, last month a for few days the temp was at or near 115F. To go higher than 10,000 BTU, I'd need a 220vac circuit and a bigger a/c unit, not to mention a double hung window in the kitchen and in the rear bathroom. I would like to relocate to Big Bear CA(see pic below), but so far that is not possible, not without a much larger deposit, like 81%, a Bill in the State Legislature for Low and Very Low Income people like Myself might do just that, but I have to wait and see what happens. This place is for sale for $156,000.00, 81% down is $126,360.00, even with My current credit score I would be approved, the only problem is the cost of moving and utility deposits. As long as I was allowed to pay the property taxes monthly or even to reduce the taxes like I did here under Prop8, I could make it. I'm going to get rid of a few things from the front bedroom, that have been there unused for nearly 10yrs, then I'll be able to sell off the 125 gallon aquarium and its supplies, the house pictured is just being used as an example and the land under it, is tied to the mobile home title. It's not that I don't do anything, but I have been having some medical problems, like the prostate gland slowing the flow from the kidneys to the bladder, I'm in recovery, which from June 28th was expected to take 6-8 weeks. While I was under the Hospital found I did not have any Prostate Cancer, it just hurts when I go to the bathroom. I did get the EVGA P55 FTW PC to a state of completion to where when a video card is added, I could start it up, I'll be doing that soon with the Palit 970, since I don't want to convert that card right away, I have 3 motherboards to test, which does include the P55 FTW, and does not include the 1 motherboard that needs its cpu socket fixed. Also here's My new TP-Link AC1750 Router, I waited until July 10th to install this, since until the 10th there was no point in doing so. I did have to alter the DNS settings to ones I know work, since the ones included don't work here, they'd just time out. So I do get tasks done, just not as fast as some would like, it just takes Me physically longer to get some tasks done, some things are easy, easy gets done quick. I also got a Black and Blue wireless USB mouse in for the Windows 10 laptop, but since the laptop only has 2 USB ports, I need to get a usb hub, since I'll be plugging in 3 usb devices at first, a mouse, an 802.11AC 5GHz TP-Link network adapter(I have a few), and a thumb drive with some text files. The USB to wireless interface is currently in the Mouse, the batteries are on top of the included booklet, yeah the batteries are White with Black and Yellow text, oops! Since My income is limited, this takes time, I have to smog My car in August(which might be $40-$60), and then in September pay the DMV the $98.00 they want for the car registration. And I'm thinking about getting a stronger floor fan, this black fan is one weak fan, even on full power.

For the moment I'll use the card as is, to test out the EVGA P55 FTW PC, then the Asus RIVBE motherboard, and finally the Asus RIVE motherboard. The other GTX970 is a Palit 970 that is coming from the UK, that might get here by at least Friday, maybe earlier.

We put them down to just being miserable people. Could they actually be clinically depressed instead? Maybe without knowing it? I cannot judge that as I have no medical training. Obviously you know your own good lady wife better than anyone, and I am quite sure that the course you have taken is the right one for you and her. Sometimes it appears medication is worse than no treatment at all, other times it helps a lot. I wish you both all the best. Interesting idea. I suppose many negative people are depressed. But a lot of them are just negative and don't realize it. I was once like that. People had to point it out to me, and time had to pass for me to get a little smarter about myself. I suffer from depression. I'm going through a particularly bad time right now. I've been extremely short-tempered and angry for several days for no apparent reason. But negativity has never really been a symptom of my depression. Me, I just feel I'm stuck in Neutral, some of it comes from the state My body is in, and some is what I think I was born with. Oh well at least Grace is ok, she's more like a fast meat eating horse, who is sure footed.

System has been rebooted about three times after my first report of this. (Rebooted due to some other software upgrades.) Cache in FF cleared three times as well. Checkbox IS there at BOINC Forums. Cannot check SETI Beta due to insufficient RAC. I still think this is a SETI glitch between the newer FF and MAC OS compatibility. I just checked my Win XP Pro x64 system in FF 52.2.1 and the Checkbox IS there for SETI... This didn't start happening until the new 54.0.1 FF for MAC OS got updated and installed. Wish someone at SETI could check this out. (I'm on OS 10.11.4) TL Didn't you install some Firefox add-on, to get the colors of this new board look better, when they changed the board to use Twitter Bootstrap? I bet that's the problem, and not Firefox as such. OMG!!!!!!! :-O You're RIGHT!!!!! :-O I temporarily Disabled the Color That Site add-on and the Checkbox reappeared!!! But, WHY would that eliminate the Checkbox upon the FF Upgrade to 54.0.1??? TL Perhaps the extension needs an upgrade to work right on that version of Firefox.

Only up to $260 so if someone payed $651 for a 970, they really took a beating.... LOL...I was about to post something similar. The used GTX 980s have gotten quite reasonable, as those who have to have the latest and greatest 10xx cards have been dumping their "obsolete" cards, if you're patient (and cautious about which sellers you deal with). In the last couple months, I've bought 3 of them to upgrade some of my machines, a Gigabyte for $210, an ASUS Strix for $190, and an MSI for $195. All have performed flawlessly. Two are currently in use and the Gigabyte, which I swapped out to test the MSI when it arrived, will probably go back in service sometime this week. Both of the ones I mentioned can be converted into Hybrids with the Corsair HG10 N980 and the N970, the 970 cards follow two reference sizes, of the 4 adapters, I have two N970 kits to fill, one was adapted for some card the seller told Me, but I don't have any idea which card that was, at least not for sure, it might be an EVGA 970 Classified, if there is such a card or maybe an Asus 970 turbo, the Asus and Zotac is not on the Corsair approved N970 list, PNY, Palit, Gainward, EVGA, Inno3d, and Galax are, though not all cards under these labels are, the EVGA 1970 and 1972 are. Note: if you can find them, some 760, 670, and 660Ti's are on the list for the N970. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-hg10-n970-gpu-liquid-cooling-bracket The N980 list is a bit shorter and covers the 970, 980, 980 Ti, and the 12GB Titan X... The Nvidia GTX 970 uses a 980 pcb, so it's a reference card, it should be on the list, but isn't. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-hg10-n980-gpu-liquid-cooling-bracket The Asus 970 Strix is a nice card, but doing that is a bit harder, you'd need an NZXT G10 or a newer G12.

Black, white, Hispanic, Native American -- a little bit of everything -- Asian, and that's more of a representation of this country," said Shannon Lanier, the sixth great-grandson of President Thomas Jefferson. Andrea Livingston is half Filipino. She recently learned she's the eighth great granddaughter of Philip Livingston. "It is a point of pride, but I think we have a long way to go. The ideas that they were creating, the ideas that they were putting into words, we still need to strive to make those ideas real," Livingston said. Laura Murphy, Livingston's seventh great-granddaugther, is Andrea Livingston's new found cousin.

Leave the hardware alone, all the internal power supplies (and there are lots) are designed to run with the configuration as supplied. Looking around me (in the stack of dead stuff) I see two dead HP laptops, one Acer, and a Toshiba Satelite- all but one of them died soon after adding more memory "because I needed it". Only the Acer died of old age and overheating when the fans failed and dragged the rest of the system to a smokey death. It certainly needs a PSU - have you checked with your sister-in-law to make sure she hasn't put it away somewhere silly - that would certainly save you a few bucks. Also, if it's been either run permanently on its battery, or not put into storage correctly it is possible that the battery is shot - once you got the external power supply, charge the battery fully, boot the machine, and see how long it runs on battery only - with a reasonable battery you should be able to do a couple of hours at least, anything less than an hour and the battery is toast :-( Yeah I asked Her, the last time the psu brick was seen, was by a friend who was going to delete a bunch of personal junk, so all I have is the ac power cord, still a replacement is about $19.90, but that means I need to buy a cable for $13.31 to get free shipping, yes I can afford it. The psu I'm getting is a 90w, stock is 75w, stock can't be found, and this PWR+ psu brick has a 14' cord. I could find a 150w psu brick, if needed, I did look. My sister in law used a 90w psu brick. This laptop has 2 hatch's on the bottom, one for the hdd, and one for memory, I know enough not to go beyond two 4GB so-dimms, and Amazon offers professional installation, for the hdd and for the memory, the hdd/ssd swap would be a Crucial MX300 525GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD1 with copying of the data from the hdd to the ssd, the ram 8GB (2X4GB) Memory RAM for Toshiba Satellite C675-S7104 Laptop Memory Upgrade. I could do the ram swap, once I got the hatch open, since it only has 1 tiny screw, but I think I'd let a pro do this, as I'm not feeling up to this right now. The ram is $55.08, and the installation is $20.00. The Computer Hard Drive Installation - Laptop - Data Transfer - Up to 500 GB $39.55 The ssd is $159.99 for the 525GB ssd. If they won't do it, cause of where I live at, it's a bit remote here, I could, since I did buy an adapter and software to do the hdd/ssd swap with a while back, once I find it that is. Right now, it's mere speculation, since I just want to get the laptop running, but then I'm not feeling great at the moment.

And I get to drive to Apple Valley on July 3rd, since I have a follow up appointment at 8am with a Nurse Practitioner named Mina, so that means getting up at 6am, leaving at 7am, the only reason I have to drive to Apple Valley instead of nearby Barstow, is that was the only open appointment that is available, and its required to be done too. Slowly the pain is going down, I did cough up some coagulated blood out of My throat today, which helps, that was from the tube that was put in My throat so that I could breathe while I was out in LALA land, while being operated on. My sister in law is helping Me out some with some gas money for the 3rd, She's getting busy packing, Her house sold again, since the 1st sale fell thru and is now in escrow with a 2nd buyer, once again she got $240,000.00 for the house.

And last I heard, unless the wind changed direction, the fire was heading away from Big Bear in the Holcomb area, 6 miles north of Big Bear, and planes laid down Phos-Chek near the fire, that's a fire retardant, and they had a voluntary evacuation in effect already in Big Bear.

Lawrence John Ripple took the guilty plea in January. He told the judge on Tuesday that he had heart surgery that left him depressed when he committed the bank robbery, the paper reported. .... Officers arrived quickly. An FBI agent wrote in the affidavit that Ripple had earlier been arguing with his wife. He told investigators he wrote the note in front of his wife, telling her he would â€œrather be in jail than at home.â€ That's one for the Books, jail time at home for robbing a bank, ok. Weird.

In one area of LA County My family is known for Historical reasons, since My family owned an Auto Repair business, that became a car dealership that interacted with some clients from the Movie Studios, like nearby MGM Studios, My grandpa worked there once as a carpenter for a bit, when I don't know, He was also a Police Chief, since He had the contract to maintain and house the Culver City CA Police and Fire Department vehicles, an uncle that I never met was a Fire Chief, later grandpa was also a City Councilman too. The business is long gone, a hotel and parking lot occupies that land now at Irving Place and Washington Blvd, His original 1920 house and garage still exist of course, back then in 1920 Culver City looked a bit like Yermo, just not as hot in the summer. Culver City back then had concrete curbs and sidewalks, with dirt streets covered with some oil. The Auto Repair Garage also sold gasoline at a curbside gasoline pump, and yes there are pics online, two in fact, but then I put them there. One shows My paternal grandma and one shows My dad when He was a kid.

Unfortunately, during breaks from filming Batman, she took on film and other TV roles; so, when Batman needed her to return, she was under contract doing other things. This lead to Eartha Kitt taking the series' role, and Lee Meriwether taking the role in the Batman Movie. BUT, to loyal fans everywhere, Julie Newmar WILL always be Cat Woman. :-) <<------- Been a fan since I was a kid growing up in the 70's. Again, R.I.P. Adam West/Bruce Wayne - Batman.

Turns out only 1 Batmobile was the Lincoln Futura, the other 3 were converted Ford Galaxies. Riddle Me this: What is colorful, hot, and wearable? This would drive a Hatter Mad... Nothing to rain on, Vic. Julie Newmar IS the original Cat Woman. No dispute. She created the role, and showed up and played her part for the producers, (I read this somewhere), and they made her part of the show. Eartha Kitt came later, again, due to Newmar's prior commitments elsewhere. Lee Meriwether took the role for the Batman Movie, again, 'cause Newmar was tied up elsewhere. BUT, at each point BEFORE recasting the role to Kitt and Meriwether, the producers TRIED to get in touch with Newmar - unfortunately she was committed to other roles and responsibilities and COULD NOT break those contracts to reprise her role as Cat Woman. TL I didn't know that about the Cat Woman role, neat. I knew about the problems about Her being there after the first time, things happen. Do you know the answer to the riddle?

I know things like that are supposed to be protected by data protection laws, but that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be kept secure by any means. I was astonished how quickly reporters from reuters tracked me down here in the UK following an incident that occurred to my sister in Malawi some years ago. They knew everything about both of us (perhaps not everything fortunately - but a lot of a lot) without ever having interviewed us, and that was years before the internet had become what it is today.

I still need to work on a video card's fan. There are a few parts to install, mainly supplied screws, nuts, and two bars, the bars were a bit hard to get on the screws, but it went together easy enough, you might want to use a Phillips screwdriver at a point in this kit. I put the bars like this, why? So the hoses will go like this.

Our dog found a dead magpie chicken lying in a bush under a tree just a few days ago. Probably a chicken that didn't learnt to fly. It's still there but now lying just outside our balcony... Good news is that one of it's sibling is still around. In English we say "chick" for baby bird, not "chicken." A chicken is a special type of bird. We eat them. Chicken: Very sad about the dead magpie chick. One of my cats came in with a bluejay chick. It was alive and the parents were screaming. I took it out and put it on my roof. I have no idea what happened after that. By the way, a "fledgling" is a young bird that is just old enough to leave the nest and try to fly. This is what your dog and my cat would have had. I hope you don't mind the English lessons! I saw a fledgling the other day, the bird had a little of the baby covering still on the birds back, and the fledgling could fly, some. Oh and on Chickens, We also eat their eggs, though not all obviously, I just bought 4.5lbs of whole egg powder, next month I don't need to buy any.

I will have to buy a i/o shield, since one was not included, but that is only $6.80 total, and I need an Asetek 2011 bracket kit for testing, I can't find My 2011 screws, there goes another $11.41 on the card. This will be My last motherboard for a while, I need to pay down a few cards, I've also got a Captain 240EX cpu cooler on the way from Amazon, I wish they had the 280EX for sale, RGB leds or not, so far it's just with a few select Deepcool PC cases. Once I've tested the Asus RIVE and its 3820 cpu, then I'll test the RIVBE with the Xeon E5-1650 v2 Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz 6 core cpu, I need to post some pics, but today was very HOT, like 103F, and I was out in that driving 2 friends around. But any testing will be with the Asetek cpu cooler, the 240EX is for when I get a suitable Corsair 740 case, Amazon does love Me. I also picked up a damaged about a week back, an Asus R3E motherboard, how damaged? Some person used LN on the motherboard I think, and so some of the cpu pins need fixing, thankfully the motherboard was inexpensive, $114.90 delivered(99.95+14.95), and so will the repairs too, bent pins, I'll have an expert do that, since My hands are not steady, and My eyesight is not good enough, repairs could be around $160 total before shipping, still a bargain, even after repairs, at least compared to an intact Asus R3E motherboard. And I know why didn't I just buy a new motherboard? Then I'd have to buy a new 5930K cpu and DDR4 ram, and 5930K cpus aren't cheap, these will do nicely, and I have DDR3 ram(memory) that I can test with. I don't like the 5820K cpu, which has only 28 pcie lanes, instead of 40 lanes. And I still need to work on 2 video cards, one needs heatsinks on the ram and vrm's, and the other just needs screws, a nut, and some washers installed, but I have the pieces at least.

I don't, but that is not My immediate problem, I'd like to get 30/4 internet to save $50 on My internet bill, but I find the only way I can save $50 a month is to take My cable tv box to Spectrum and put the TV on the UHF TV antenna, I tried using My 3G phone to access the next today, man was that slow, too slow, I had to install a usb 3.0 wireless ac1750 adapter to do so, since the fastest both support is wireless N, I tried to do a speedtest, 198ms for the ping, on cable that is 10ms, the rest of the test would not download, after that I went back to cable in disgust, I found getting to bing.com is not always happening, maybe I should reboot the PC, I'd shut down the browser to try and fix bing.com, that didn't work. My cable bill with a $10.52 discount for another 11 months is $123.99 a month, Spectrum Internet Assist is 30/4 for $14.99 a month, requires one to be getting SSI, be 65yrs old, and be a NEW customer, meaning one can't be a customer with Spectrum for at least 30 days, Spectrum will waive the age, but not the NEW Customer part. There are a few other qualifications, but they don't apply to Me at all. DSL either requires a contract with Frontier, or for one to get DSL from someone else, like DSL Extreme, they used to be My ISP before I went to TWC(now Spectrum, yuck!), I contacted them by email, they'll get back to Me on My address, since I'd need the fastest speed they have, and it would cost as much as much as cable, and would require a truck roll most likely. And hopefully no 2yr contract, not for 5-7/1 service. At least I do have a UHF TV antenna, I only pay for the electricity to run the antenna, and there are 10 SD sub channels on UHF via Dish Network that the County pays for via Property Taxes. Edit: I solved the Bing.com problem, after a reboot, bing.com still was being hard to get to. Firefox doesn't like Bing.com cause of its certificate, clicked on a box, problem solved. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean#w_bypassing-the-warning I can't get to the warning page now, so it's gone, from My PC at least.

I don't, but that is not My immediate problem, I'd like to get 30/4 internet to save $50 on My internet bill, but I find the only way I can save $50 a month is to take My cable tv box to Spectrum and put the TV on the UHF TV antenna, I tried using My 3G phone to access the next today, man was that slow, too slow, I had to install a usb 3.0 wireless ac1750 adapter to do so, since the fastest both support is wireless N, I tried to do a speedtest, 198ms for the ping, on cable that is 10ms, the rest of the test would not download, after that I went back to cable in disgust, I found getting to bing.com is not always happening, maybe I should reboot the PC, I'd shut down the browser to try and fix bing.com, that didn't work. My cable bill with a $10.52 discount for another 11 months is $123.99 a month, Spectrum Internet Assist is 30/4 for $14.99 a month, requires one to be getting SSI, be 65yrs old, and be a NEW customer, meaning one can't be a customer with Spectrum for at least 30 days, Spectrum will waive the age, but not the NEW Customer part. There are a few other qualifications, but they don't apply to Me at all. DSL either requires a contract with Frontier, or for one to get DSL from someone else, like DSL Extreme, they used to be My ISP before I went to TWC(now Spectrum, yuck!), I contacted them by email, they'll get back to Me on My address, since I'd need the fastest speed they have, and it would cost as much as much as cable, and would require a truck roll most likely. And hopefully no 2yr contract, not for 5-7/1 service. At least I do have a UHF TV antenna, I only pay for the electricity to run the antenna, and there are 10 SD sub channels on UHF via Dish Network that the County pays for via Property Taxes. Edit: I solved the Bing.com problem, after a reboot, bing.com still was being hard to get to. Firefox doesn't like Bing.com cause of its certificate, clicked on a box, problem solved. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean#w_bypassing-the-warning I can't get to the warning page now, so it's gone, from My PC at least.

I'm watching 1070, 1080, and 1080 ti SC2 hybrid cards, both EVGA and MSI, MSI Seahawk X cards were designed in concert with Corsair, EVGA made their own hybrid cards, I think. I'm not watching any FTW hybrid cards, since I find the only psu that could possibly handle 4 EVGA 1080 Ti SC2 hybrid video cards, is the Corsair Ax1200i, since it appears one will need 2 power cables per FTW, Ti SC2 Hybrid, and Seahawk EK X card. Ordinary 1070/1080 EVGA hybrid video cards and 1070/1080 MSI Seahawk X video cards only require one 8pin power cable per card. What is the limiting factor on these cards? The tubing length, from the card to the radiator, Zalster uses a 540 case with four 1070 EVGA hybrid video cards.

At least I got the case on the cart, that's step 1, step 2 will mount the cooler from the bottom to the cpu, and the cpu cooler mounting will be done. I hope.

The fans went in alright, after the first fan went in the installation went a bit easier, I had to stack all 3 fans, one on top of the other, then put the radiator in behind them, but all 12 screws are in place. Next is the cpu mounting bracket, I have to remove the old bracket, then the 360EX bracket, the old one is not 360EX compatible. Once the 360EX cpu mounting bracket is in place, then I can just screw the bracket down on to the cpu, since the 360EX already has a TIM applied for the cpu. TIM = Heatsink Thermal Compound

Toms says 428.38w max, which would mean I'd have to combine two rails, since that is almost 36A for a 980Ti. I could get an MSI 1080 Ti FE for about $650 w/shipping, which is past My bingo point right now, then convert it to being a hybrid, EVGA sells the kit for $160.00 before shipping and any sales tax, if any that is, so right now I have to wait.

New 1080Ti designs (Message 1866337) Posted 9 May 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I think you're right, one source said 215w, and that could be a typo, others, such as there are, said 250w minimum, I could get a used EVGA Titan X Hybrid for a little over $600, but the LEDs don't work, and it's used, though it is on Amazon. I was initially unsure if My psu here could handle either the Titan X Hybrid or the 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid, but the the psu I have is certified to handle four GTX580 cards, so 250w is doable, though I have seen gaming reviews saying 372w while gaming at high res and I do want to get a 2560x1440 QNIX QX2710 27" monitor, My psu can not handle 372w, not at 300w per rail, I'd have to double the cables, and I don't know if that 300w includes the pci-e slot or not, the Silverstone ST1500 1500w psu is just that old. Currently this is speculation for Me, plus it's free, and yes I could buy that Titan X Hybrid right now, since I have plans that don't involve a new card, yet, and that will take about 5-6 months to do. Don't worry Zalster, I won't ask, hehehe.

Part V (Message 1866063) Posted 7 May 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I think I would do well to remember the relative sizes of the UK, America, and Australia, I tend to forget that!! Living in the suburbs of London with BT Infinity, my line is capped at 58mb/s download, and 11.26mb/s upload. I am about 1.5 miles from the exchange, but at the very end of an old local loop. The min is 40mb/s the max is 70mb/s. I remember our dear friend John Clark who went from landline to Satellite in Lincolnshire and quadrupled his download speed overnight and at a reasonable cost. Us city guys take a lot for granted, but having said that it is supposed to be the 21C, so why is so much of the world so behind?? I wonder that too. If my download speed goes above 1mb/s and stays for a than a minute. I'm a happy camper. The minimum internet speed here on Spectrum(ex-TWC) is 30/5, but that is a special speed one has to be able to qualify for that costs $14.99 a month, which is for those who get SSI(65+, the age requirement can be waived, New Customer can not) and are New Customers, Me I get 100/10Mbps since I'm not a New Customer, which at $64.99 is the only speed one can get in this area now, being a New Customer means No Spectrum TV service and Internet for at least 30 days. And yes I'm working on fixing that, by using My 3G phone as a hotspot for at least 30 days(3G internet is $10 for 1.5GB), I found out that I used 50MB a day, 150MB if I watched some videos, the area is 4G LTE capable on Sprint, but I don't have a 4G LTE phone, just to reduce My bill by about $50 a month. Landlines out here are not really worth using, Verizon after 2006 didn't maintain them, and now Frontier is trying to fix all that, but has a lot of work to do. Satellite, meant the possibility of snow on the dish, and the possibility of a lousy install, snow here has happened in the past, no thanks, I'd rather have cable. I don't mind some snow though.

I think the Platinum scheme is mainly aimed at young marrieds with kids to give them a foot on the housing ladder. In time they can reasonably expect the family income to substantially increase as they pursue their careers. But if Vic can tick all the required boxes then there is no reason why he shouldn't try and go for it, I'm just not sure he fully qualifies. Even if he does, he says that he has difficulty in making ends meet in his mobile home/trailer at the present time which is all paid for. Quite how he expects to be able to pay a mortgage on a 2 or 3 bedroom house in addition to his current outgoings, on the same income, I find is rather an intriguing question. Which is why I need to pay down My debt to free up some income, a good amount really, so that maybe I could qualify for a loan, but with housing prices as of now, I'm not sure that I could do anything anymore, there is a bill in the state legislature that might or might not help Me, I made a comment in support to the author, maybe I'll get a reply, or maybe I won't, since I don't live in His district.

Your $3K was the deposit, moving costs, and remedial works you said. Obviously you can't afford to buy a $100K house on your income, and in addition you'd need a mortgage indemnity insurance that would pay the mortgage off if you died. At your age that won't be cheap. Where ever you live you'll still have property and local taxes. You mentioned wanting to buy a plot of land somewhere and move your trailer onto it, but also couldn't afford it, and if it hadn't been used for housing before you might have to pay to get connected to mains gas, electricity, water and sewage. And even then you would still have the same trailer with a duff heater, that also wants new windows and a door, just in a different place. It is hard to see how you can do much else other than stay where you are. In which case renovating your existing home is the only realistic option. I assume the Â£($)2K you mention was the cost of a new furnace, but if you can't afford to save up for that either, then you are rather stumped aren't you. I would think that pursuing this vent cap issue further might be the cheapest way out of this problem. Even a whole new more modern vent would cost in if the furnace itself is in good working condition. Prices went up since then. Yeah, a plot of land I was watching sold for $9,500.00, others are available, though they are off the market. Yes. Doing tear down, moving the place across a state line, a distance of about 155 miles, and setup, I did that in 2006 for $5500 divided among 3 different companies, a foundation the county wanted cost Me $1500, plus getting a county construction permit $293, I've been there already, I just lack the funds to do that again for another 55 miles, I was told $25,000 sounds reasonable too, hence why I need to bump up My credit score, whether I can afford an unsecured loan is another matter, so I pay down stuff, buy what is needed, when needed, though sometimes I delay stuff, I have more than enough delayed, a backlog really. What passes for towels, some might call rags, same goes for t shirts, I'll get them, just not today. I try and get by at 90% of the Federal Poverty Line, which is $11,880.00 a year or 100%, which amounts to $990 a month. At least when I'm 62 I should be able to file for Social Security benefits, which should net Me another $236 a month, provided some in Congress keeps their mitts off of My benefits, in 2018 according to the Governors proposed budget I should get another $20 a month in 2018, bringing Me up to about 92.5% of the FPL, or about $915.72 a month, I've been sitting on that info for a bit, it'll be the first time since the 2009 cuts, that I'll be above $905 a month. I did manage to lower the property taxes to $80.30 a year on this place in 2016, that used to be a around $200 a year before that, paid that $80.30 back in December 2016, thankfully that won't go up unless I own some land, since I do not own any land currently, it won't, though My fear is the rent will go up again by another $50 a month. I also managed to save $35 a month on My phone bill, I now have a phone that doesn't charge Me anything, the lifeline program pays for that here in California, it's only 3G, but it's free, 4G would cost Me money to upgrade to, eventually I'll do that upgrade, since where I'm at was upgraded to 4G, and 4G is faster than 3G any day. I've been trying that, without much success. Being what I live in, I was told some have the vent attached to the duct as one piece, stupid, I know, so they refuse on that basis, it could be something called a limit switch this time, maybe, maybe not, that might be causing the furnace to stay on, since I have not heard any audible click out of the gas valve, which does so when the valve opens or closes, when the temp at the thermostat is either raised or lowered the valve goes click normally, a 'white rogers' valve does that, no I didn't name it that, it's an after market valve. Some places see a 30 year old furnace, and a gold mine, on the phone they say one thing, then their tune changes when they get here, ka ching, gold mine. Right now the new thermostat tells the time, and the room temp, but is otherwise useless for the moment, at least the electrical switch on the gas furnace itself works. 96F is predicted for today outside, last thing I need is more heat in here, I don't do well in 86F temps, and My cat doesn't like being in those temps either.

Part IV (Message 1865317) Posted 3 May 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The guy they sent out recommended a smaller more restrictive vent cap, to keep the pilot from blowing out again. Prices are up in the $100,000 range, a deposit by Me would only need 0.5%, or $500.00 total, the other 5% would come from the county platinum program, which provides down payment assistance. A 5.5% down payment on a $98,000 house with land, that one can live in after moving in, would have an estimated payment of $639.00 a month, I get $895.72 a month, the math just doesn't work, I'd have $256.72 left over every month. That 5.5% in this case is $5,390.00. So I should save up $2,000.00? $100.00 a month ? For like 2 years? I do have bills to pay, most of which I do not have to reveal, just cause I don't work anymore, does not mean they don't exist all of a sudden.

Part IV (Message 1865313) Posted 3 May 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: I'm thinking about ripping out the setback thermostat, that is the one that the capsbc.org installed, why? I'd set the temp to 74F, this is the setting that is stored in memory, and not forgotten since this model has a battery backup system, thinking the gas furnace would never turn on at that temp, wrong it did, during the day too, so I shut the furnace blower off until 7:10pm, then flipped the switch back on, just over 5 hours later, it's now 86F, it was 80F when this started, I emailed the people responsible for this and asked for them to send someone out here and put the old thermostat back in place, which I fished out of the trash, along with the crappy Pro T705 Box, I tried setting the setbacks first to 62F, then to 55F, then to the lowest possible setting of 44F, nothing has worked, except to turn off the blower at the switch at the blower... Fan is set to Auto, On is the only other setting, System settings are: Cool/Off/Heat Setting to Off instead of Heat at the thermostat does nothing, the furnace just runs and runs, and runs... Cool will do nothing since that system is not totally there anymore... The gas furnace is a Coleman design, and is very possibly 30 years old, it needs a new more air restrictive vent cap for the gas furnace, yet the capsbc.org won't install one on My mobile home.

I did that with a few of mine due to confined space. Even with the fans on the outside passing I am still able to reattach the grill over the fans. This only works for the front grill, the top grill doesn't have enough space under it for fans outside of the case. I'm more worried about how the radiator will fit in relation to the cpu, which was My reason for wanting to get some 120x38mm fans, but I'll take My chances, the tubes look almost as long as the radiator is, or about 14.5". In most cases a cpu radiator in My experience is mounted up top, clearly that can't happen here, I'd need at least an Thermaltake X5 or X9 case to do that. Still I wish it was easier to mount the fans in between the rad and the case, but at least I'm not totally fighting gravity here.

And there is room to install a 360mm, a 280mm, or a 240mm radiator in the front, I'm going to use the three 91cfm 120mm fans that came w/the 360 EX, money is tight. Installing a 360mm radiator and 3 fans, the fans will go between the radiator, and the inside of the case, with air being pulled thru the radiator and out of the case, makes dusting easier.

Do make sure that your sister-in-law knows what time to call before setting out to pick you up, and don't be too shocked and annoyed if they keep you in longer than you would desire, particularly after a general anesthetic as they need to know you are well enough to cope at home. One comment about your pain management before you go in for the op - over the years (forty plus) I've suffered kidney pains I have found it far better to go for a "quick hit" first thing in the morning rather than a progressive dulling. You might find it more effective to hit the pain hard with a normal (quick) release dose soon after you get up, maybe of an NSAID rather than Tylenol. Then move onto your slow release dose later in the day. This is because kidney pain is frequently caused by spasming in the small tubes of the kidney, and hitting hard stops the spasms, then the slow release keeps it under control, whereas the slow release doesn't stop the spasms. I do however realise that you have arthritis pain, which needs the slow release control - a bit of a cleft stick :-( Ok I got that, but nsaids don't seem to work too well against temperature problems. Except for the nsaids, there is no quick release pills here. I have internet mostly back again, though it does drop out, unexpectedly at times, over 118Mbps on a Motorola 6121 modem, go figure, the tech is supposed to be out here on Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm. The Arris 6183 modem is now offline, though if the 6120 works this good, I may just leave the connection alone. So far, so good.

No, I have a 1970's-1980's era Sears Kenmore Canister Vacuum(5.1 peak hp) that I inherited and replaced with some newer parts, it works great with 30yr old white carpet(good with a black cat), and the dusting attachment is as gentle as can be on the radiators, the cpu works pretty well, idle on the 4820K cpu @ 3.7GHz(ram is set at 1866 in the Bios) is varying from 35-48C, while in use is at 59-72C, 100C is the max there, the gpu varies from the same amounts as the cpu at load, idle is steady at 36C, the gpu runs at 857MHz when working, when not working the gpu is at 51MHz. The case has lots of built in dust filters.

Indeed you do not. But you cannot really complain if you spend money on something then later there is none left for something else. I think perhaps it is a case of you often posting what you "hope" to do, but it is not clear to others. Remember this is a public forum and all who take part in SETI@Home can read this and comment. Yeah, like when I spent $315.10 on My car in 1 month, that went mostly on a credit card, I try to buy My food at the beginning of the month, sometimes I don't put some things on the list, and don't realize it until later on, no one is perfect, not even Me. I just looked at My list for next month, I had to add some 2 loafs of whole wheat bread, lite mayo, breakfast sausage and ham for sandwiches(10% salt, in a 1.5lb pkg). I have enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, munchies included. That's $97.66 for May on My food shopping list @ Food4Less, I get reward points for every $ that I spend at F4L, which when I get 100 or more reward points means I get $0.10 a gallon off the price of fuel for the car, F4L owns their own Gasoline Station, and right now the price is $2.779 a gallon. I keep track of prices on food, this helps in planning the next food shopping list.

So for a psu for a 1060 w/a water block or a hybrid, that will be an 850w Seasonic Platinum, for 4 1060 hybrid cards(NZXT Kraken G12 if needed), it's My choice. It's what I'm comfortable with. While you may think water-cooling (in whatever form) is a source of easy maintenance and simple build you are sadly wrong. It took me less than two hours from opening the boxes to getting my Razen system up and running, including stripping out the old hardware. This system is air cooled, and is very stable at an ambient of 35C. As for your figures for power consumption - way over the top. Look at the real figures I gave in my previous post - a system with 2 1080 and a 980 is only drawing 450W - so on that measure a four 1080 system would be drawing about 600W - and a 1080 draws significantly more power than a 1060. And no need for the difficulties in setting up a water cooled system, just plug in the parts, load the OS, install BOINC and SETI. I've no doubt that the triple GTX580 system would need a lot more power than a modern system, but it does have obsolete components at its core, and, as you state, you still haven't proven them to work, so it may not be as functional as you hope. - I hope it is for your sake. Like I said 8 hours here, that is how long it took Me to accomplish, I am not joking either. I am glad you could do that in 2 hours Rob, I could not. Two are production units and do work(PNY and ZOTAC), of the two cards, one just needs some machine screws and hex nuts, since the fan screws could not do the job of holding one fan in place on the ZOTAC Infinity 580.

Some of the following in My profile, though the order is different, but then some probably won't bother reading it, so here it is: If some think Me having intense pain is BS, then try walking a mile in My moccasins, with My physical problems, since the pain from 3 dislocated joints, a stiff back, part of My stomach is above My diaphragm(makes My breathing hard at times, and I'll fight for air like a fish, this has been true since I was 3 yrs old), I also have asthma, Osteoarthritis, kidney problems that won't be addressed, I'm told, until after the prostate surgery is dealt with, if ever. My sister in law, a retired RN, knows how painful it is, and is more than qualified, though She does not give advice, or criticism. I know others have their own physical problems, Mine affect Me, yours will gain sympathy from Me, but that is all. I take 650mg 8hr time release Tylenol caplets, 2 to 3 times a day, it does not help for more than brief periods, sure I can stand, and even walk, sometimes with a cane, but standing for more than a minute or two pushes the envelope, in one location standing after a point means I'm literally bent over, at the waist, resting some, before trying to continue on with what I have to do while standing. When I go shopping locally I have to use, an electronic wheelchair, I weigh about 440 lbs, I do have severe anxiety problems, and concentration problems, I didn't ask to be this way either.

The Inno3D card is a hybrid, so far the only 1060 hybrid I might add, and it's power consumption is 150w, the same as a normal air cooled 1070. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10883/nvidias-geforce-gtx-1060-gets-hybrid-cooling-on-inno3ds-ichill-black-model I do wake up and see the browser and a few other programs have crashed, though not always, the current psu has a 25A limit on each rail, not like those single rail psus, the only reason I keep using this 1500w psu, is cause its modular, and paid for, the other psus aren't modular at all, quite messy, its ok if the extra power cables are hidden, but it's still a mess requiring zip ties. And this PNY LC GTX 580 is not overclocked, but then why? Don't answer that.

That would be in a 1080/980Ti range. I would expect more like 100W or 8.3A. Steven would know for sure, he has some on Linux which push them to the max. Edit: My 1080's/980 run around 150W or 12.5 - 13A. Though for 3 GTX580 cards, a 1050w is the minimum that's needed, as they're old cards, I know, about 25A each, they also put out some heat, they're great for when the pilot light is knocked out by the winds here, I need a smaller vent cap, so far I can't get one, not unless I get a new gas furnace for the mobile home(it's the way some are plumbed I was told, mine is 30yrs old), that's about $2,000.00, which I really do not have. I'm only keeping 3, the 570 I have will go back to air, be tested, then gotten rid of for whatever it's worth, which I expect won't be much. I do have one Enermax 1050w psu, but the 24 pin power connector needs to be replaced, until then it's not usable, and it's silver rated and like the ST1500 is a multi rail psu, unlike for example a Seasonic 1050w psu, which does not cost a lot, about $210 on Amazon, Corsair doesn't make a 1050w, just a 1000w and a 1200w, nothing in between, smaller than 1000w they do make of course. The cards and wattages I mentioned are only on air, not hybrids, which have a pump each, those I don't know how they add to the power needs, I rather like hybrids, air, not so much, air is a royal pain to clean of dust and cat hair, hybrids, I just need to vacuum the radiator with a dusting tip, and I'm done. This month I used 489KWh, last month it was 433KWh, according to the place that sends out the bills the park sends to people who live here, I've used more, like in the summer last year, I have access to records that go back a year.

Still then a newer higher rated psu would at least put out less heat in the conversion from AC to DC, the Corsair TX950w is equal to a bronze level psu, as are two TX850w Corsair psus I have, I have a Silverstone ST1500 1500w that is silver rated. More like about 10.41A(125w) at max for an MSI 1060 Gaming X w/6GB ram, at least according to the Tech Report, and the Nvidia reference model is not much better at 10.08A(121w). https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1060_Gaming_X/22.html So yeah a 750w would do, of course I just have a bunch of older psus, looks like I was misinformed.

Unless you plan on powering 3 cases with a single PSU. Your quad 1060 dream would require a 750W PSU, or use your 900. It was 4, not 3. Sure a 1080 hybrid could be bought, from about $570 to about $720, on Amazon, $600 on Newegg. I can afford to buy in a few months a 1060, it would be a set back to get a 1080, as that would take more than a year for Me currently, no I'm not going into why.

I just have to get the measurements to the Glass Doctor(used to be Haver Glass in Barstow, and Thunderbird Glass in Hesperia CA), and they'll come out and install the vinyl dual pane sliding window, like they did to the other 4 windows here that were upgraded, after the windows comes the front door, I think I'll need to get some bids on the door, Home Depot said $2,500.00 at one time, yikes.

Captain 360 EX for the Corsair Carbide Air 540 case, in the front. This Xeon X5675 95w 3.06GHz cpu is for My Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard, and will replace an i7 920 130w cpu, at least once I've determined if the R3E has the latest Bios or not, plus being a custom water cooled PC, I need parts for it still. And the Xeon E5-1650 v2 12 core cpu(i7 4930K/4960X equivalent @ 3.5GHz) is to replace the i7 4820K cpu in this PC, the 4820K will replace the 3820 cpu in the Asus Rampage IV Extreme, when it has dried out completely, which may have already happened. Once I find the RIVE works again, I'll be disposing of the 3820 cpu. The above pics are just ones I got online, and not the actual pics, but they will do for the moment. I still need to get 3 Delta 120x38mm fans, always something to do.

Whether San Pedro is or is not in the sticks (in your opinion) is irrelevant. As you just said yourself and I quote Drivers test, in a big car, on small narrow streets in the older part of town(for Los Angeles CA at least). Not a big deal. Agreed. Then is it a good idea once someone has passed their test in such circumstances, to let them drive at an average of 70mph on American freeways ? That is the question you should be answering. In My experience out here, most people on the fwy don't drive at 70mph(the speed limit), they drive a bit faster(like maybe 75mph), and some are worse, they drive faster still. My skills are ok, and tight streets is a good test for maneuvering. Especially if one is a beginner. Also if one takes a moped to a motorcycle driving test, one would be restricted to a moped(this is for the motorcycle addendum only), yes I have said addendum on My Class C license, I drove a real motorcycle, one capable of fwy speeds in 1979, today the motorcycle would need to be a bit bigger than a 250cc model. Me I had professional training, and I usually don't speed, though I can see why some do speed across the desert, it's a boring desert out here, I tried driving 55mph from My place to Victorville CA, that was horrible. I'd rather the high desert had light rail transit, in addition to some bus routes that would act as feeders, but unlike LA County, We don't, yet.

Try this Mike. Had a front tooth knocked out. The one on the left of it is almost 2/3 missing. Cut on chin needing four stitches. The dentist was my first stop. X-rays, replanting the tooth and a couple of other things. Happy that he used a couple of numbing swabs on my gums before he got out the Novocain syringe. I was holding a Kleenex on my chin to stop the blood from running down my neck. After he gets his work done. He calls a doctor about getting my chin stitched up. He says he will numb my chin for him. So more Novocain. He goes from the inside of my mouth towards my chin. I think I got about eight to twelve syringes full before I went to the doctor. Now at the doctor's office. He looks at my chin and gets out his syringe. The inside out of my mouth was dead. My chin was still kicking. He poked it and I made a noise until I stopped feeling the needle. He was on the second syringe full when I stopped feeling anything. Four stitches later and I was good to go. Sorry to hear Admiral. I got 6 teeth extracted. My hands are still shaking. Mike, Is your dentist going to recommend an oral surgeon to have dental implants done? (I hope so...) TL Hopefully, Mike can get His teeth replaced. Me I've about given up, Denti-Cal's a joke, getting implants($$$$.00), or real tooth cleaning(plaque removal $450.00) is $$$ for Me to pay for, but then any cuts from 2009 that have not been undone(the Devils bargain), are still in place, like My check size(90% instead of 100% of the fpl), and full Denti-Cal, for adults only partial Denti-Cal is in place. Yeah I'm watching a few bills, one that would give eligible ex-cons CalFresh as long as they are able to get SSI, NO CalFresh for Me or the other 1.3 million SSI recipients though...

If they still can't get it after having that time to (hopefully) mature after another 2 attempts then that should be the end of it. Driving just isn't for them. Personally I'm inclined to agree with you, but you would never get that adopted would you, the BHL brigade would complain it contravened their 'ooman rites. There are also some that have passed their test where driving is clearly not for them either it has to be said. As someone commented the other day, my view has been that 50% of the people shouldn't be on the road in the first place. I passed my driving test first time after 8 lessons, in 1963 aged 18, in a Morris Minor 1000. No paper test in those days. I found it ridiculously easy, and still can't understand why simple eye-hand-feet co-ordination is so difficult for some people. But of course in those days cars weren't so sophisticated as they are now, and you drove the damn things with four on the floor by the seat of your pants. But it didn't half teach you to read the road and be aware of what was going on around you. These days people can pass the test in a modern air conditioned cushy automatic saloon car, completely cocooned from road conditions and their surroundings. They are not real drivers at all, and that is recognised as their licence only acts as a Provisional for a manual car, and they will need L plates and a qualified passenger to drive them, and tale another test. Of course disabled drivers are a completely different category and automatics and specially adapted cars are a lifesaver for them. Yeah if one studies hard, gets proper instruction, and practice, one can get a drivers license, 1 attempt was all I needed, I got My license in 1979, at age 19.

I can't help it that the guy put the car under sedan, My car does only have 2 doors, not 4, a sedan is 4 a door, as to Hot Coupe, that came from Ford, and is what My model is called, there is also the Cool Coupe too(a base model, doesn't even have a/c I've read), but I don't have that one, both models were made in 1998-1999, after that Ford made the zx2 Coupe until 2003, no more Hot or Cool models.

I don't know how many people live in your trailer park, but why can't the management get their own PO box there like you have at Yermo? Or are PO Boxes only at a designated post Office? My Step Sister also has to use a PO Box system where she lives, but she has known the PO people for many years, and they will often call her and say there is something for her to be picked up. If FedEx or UPS or whomsoever deliver to the door in the USA, I am sure that they could deliver important letters as well if asked. Going to a mailbox 3 times a week just in case there "might" be something there is a ridiculous way to live. Why? Cause the Park is in the same zip code as the Post Office, and has a staff of 2 people, besides the PO Boxes down at the Post Office are FREE to people who live in Yermo, which the park is a part of. And no, I don't how many live here, the last manager was rather tight with details like that. Going there might be ridiculous to you, but everyone does that here, We're just 2.5 miles from there, some are farther, and some are closer, if I had the money to move this place to Adelanto CA, then I'd only have to walk out to a mailbox at the street near the mobile home. But I don't, and so far it looks like on My income it might be impossible, unless an 83yr old cousin leaves Me a small inheritance, unlikely, but you never know.

We still have the classic round analog dial Honeywell thermostat. I like it because it's simple. Just twist it. This place didn't come equipped with one like that, similar of course, I can see the new one from here, but read it? Not a chance, I'm too far away. It might say 81F, let Me get closer, nope, temp says 80F, set temp is 62F still, which during the day is ok. I may need to boost the temp to 65F for night time. This has a Battery backup(2 AA Duracells), this is the T705 model. I'm still learning how to make a set temp stick, there is a temporary hold and a permanent hold, temporary is what I've been setting so far, how long does that last? Idk. I installed (by myself) a Honeywell wi-fi thermostat about three years ago. Not only does it run on a preset program, I can control it from anywhere via internet from a computer or phone app. Besides a display and menu buttons, it has up/down buttons and a hold button. If I just do up or down, it holds that setting until the next scheduled change. If I press Hold, it holds the temp I set until I manually cancel the hold. On the computer or phone, I can also set a specific time other than the normal schedule for it to cancel the hold. A couple years ago when I spent a week in Ohio, I left it on permanent hold at 87. The only problem with that was that I only remembered to cancel it when I was about two hours away, and it only got down to 81 by the time I got home. The PC is boosting the temp in here, I'd set the temp for 74F this morning, the heat came on and the temp was 75F for a bit, then the furnace went into standby mode, now I have the a/c on, of the 4 windows in the living room, 1 is taped shut as that window is drafty(lets bugs in too), 1 has the a/c there, and the other 2 are openable, but the ones that are openable are on the same side of the mobile home, the wrong side when it's windy... My bedroom is not any better than the living room, since that room only has 1 window, and yep that window is on the same wrong side, there are two other windows, in a bedroom, and in a bathroom, one each, on each end of the mobile home, both taped shut.

They charge a delivery fee and expect you to tip the drivers, too. By the time I get finished with a $15 order it costs nearly $30. Most of my pizzas these days come from the Walmart "deli" section. They're cheap and they don't taste bad. (They're not great, but they'll do.) I remember when the pizza places started instituting the "delivery fee" when gas prices were going sky high, but hoped they would go back to free delivery eventually. If I was a marketing rep for a pizza place, I'd just build that fee into the price, and start promoting "free delivery" again. People like to see "Free". It's a psychological thing. And I agree about Walmart pizzas from the deli. They're not bad. Even their deli sandwiches are fair. I just rarely go in Walmart because my favorite grocery's prices are generally just as good for what I regularly buy, and it's a much smaller store, which I prefer. Ever since the local Stater Bros Market underwent some reconstruction, I've had to use an in store ECV, since the stores now are just too large for Me to walk, between My size and breathing ability, I need the ECV(Electric Conveyance Vehicle) to get any shopping done, a smaller place would be nice, but around here that's a convenience store, and their prices are worse than Vons, so Food4Less it is, Vons still sells Graces corn based and septic safe cat litter that I can't get anywhere else, besides Amazon, otherwise I just go to Food4Less, which gives Me a discount on gasoline of $0.10 a gallon when I get above 100 reward points.

Well here delivery is the same as buying from Food4Less, since I can order the pizza, but since I live 12 miles from Barstow, I have to go get the pizza, My car gets about 33mpg, so it's less than the cost of a gallon of gasoline. Delivery would be great, but I'd have to live in Barstow. So We have Dominos, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut in Barstow, nearby in Yermo there is the local diner(run by the motel), and Peggy Sues 50's Diner sell Pizza, the new Gas Station(32 pumps, not really for semis) will have a Convenience Store, and a Food Establishment, so even they might sell pizza, they might also put a strain on Upton's Market that houses the Post Office too, and Upton's Market is a small store, they've always been rather expensive. Got to get a pic of that Gas station, it has a pinnacle on its roof, if that means anything to anyone here.

The car still has a bit of a shake, the older tires are partly to blame, when the rear struts are replaced, that should end that. I hope.

Entire theories of universe and matter-antimatter creation have been published, reviewed and refined. This article from the April 1955 edition of Popular Electronics reports on then-current applications of contra-polar energy. At the time, most such work was performed in secret government laboratories and at test ranges that were closed to the public and results banned from publication, but since that time freedom-of-information-act requests have opened much contra-energy research information for public access. http://www.rfcafe.com/references/popular-electronics/contra-polar-energy-april-1955-popular-electronics.htm If you want to know more, just follow the link.

Good. The drivers seat was replaced months ago, it's black in a tan interior, it cost Me $170 delivered. got to go. Why has it got to go? Just because the colour doesn't match? On an old car like that it simply doesn't matter and on a limited income you were lucky to get a new seat anyway. If it bothers you that much sling an old blanket over it!! Why were you convinced it was the suspension struts? When they gradually wear out the springs settle a little bit lower and the front end gets a little bouncy over humps. Wobbly steering is usually some sort of steering joint that is worn out. Had you got the car looked at straight away by a garage they would have told you what the problem was, rather than wasting everyone's time getting quotes for struts. I agree with others that you fuss more about that old car than your own physical health. Of course it is nice to have independent transport outside your front door, but as Angela found out for you there are local alternatives even where you live. And on a limited income you have to be sensible. Last thing, if there are any complications after your op and they keep you in, what arrangements have you made for Grace to get fed?

You might check for a leakage problem like my computer room has. Aluminum frame windows. When the lower pane was raised to install a windows air conditioner, there was an open slot about 0.5 inches from front to back, and nearly the width of the window, left between the lower pane frame and the glass of the upper frame, and also between the upper pane frame and the glass of the lower pane. This causes strange behavior of the air conditioner's thermostat when it is set to heat. I asked for a fix over a week ago; not done yet and no word on whether it is even still planned. I've seen a type of bubble wrap with bubbles about an inch in diameter; if I can get enough of that type, I plan to cut strips of it, fold them so that the flat layer is on the outside, then stuff them in the space between the upper frame and the glass of the lower frame. This should at least be something easily removable in the future. All My big windows are sliders, of those 3 are aluminum framed, the place that said they'd be out in March, never came, I called, but they didn't get back to Me, and yes those aluminum framed windows are all bowed, air and insects come in, as they do thru the front door, a metal skinned wooden door, that changes the distance lock is out of alignment with the bolt hole, sometimes I just need to turn the key, other times I have to pull on the door knob to lock and unlock the at door. I was given an estimate for $2,500.00 to replace that warping front door once by the Home Depot, the 3 windows would need about $1,030.00 total to replace them. I didn't ever ask about the back door, it works, even if it does let light thru it in the morning. I have one small window, but it's a hand cranked window in a bathroom, otherwise it's all sliders here.

Vic, while in their current state both these problems are not life threatening they can very rapidly become life threatening. Either of these can trigger serious urinary tract infections, which in a matter of HOURS can lead to one's heart being affected, and if not treated very rapidly ..... So, when you get your car back on the road start to plan for what else might stop you getting the treatment you need for all your health issues - that means an improved diet and transport you can rely on. I will, I take My health as seriously as I can, I might laugh for other things, but not that, even if I do have a long life expectancy, based on My relatives.

She has shown that she cares about Vic, by taking time out to type a very cogent long response to his current problems and I agree with her views 100%. Further she is prepared to put her hand in her pocket, in no small measure, to help the man out. She has also been practical and sensible regarding Vic's old car, which has become a veritable money pit. It still has a broken drivers seat and no working A/C. He is junking the rear shocks he bought and never fitted, now the front ones have gone. The fact that he regards it as a "hot hatch" and desirable is irrelevant. Maybe when it was new, certainly not now. I think Vic is very lucky to have a friend like Angela, and Eric is very lucky to have a wife like her, but having had the privilege of meeting both of them, I know Eric knows that full well!! The drivers seat was replaced months ago, it's black in a tan interior, it cost Me $170 delivered. got to go.

I would suspect that your were either sold ***p parts or they were badly fitted. You have a serious health issue that needs to be sorted, and have now had to postpone a procedure for an undefined period of time because you cannot get to the hospital. This is a very bad situation to be in, effectively no money left to repair you car for more than a month, and to be in need of said car to get you to that vital appointment :-( It is certainly time to stop and think about your priorities, I would put looking after your health way above anything else. I wish the roads were fair here, cracked, and sealed with tar or whatever it is the crews use, then slurried over with an oil/sand mixture that resembles asphalt, but is cheaper, I stay within the speed limits generally, yes I think they are bad parts just like you mentioned, though it's too late to get a refund and at the time I was lead to believe they were in fact good parts, drat. The repairs will get done. It's a bladder blockage w/some bleeding from time to time by the prostate, not exactly life threatening. The pain from the cysts is manageable with pills, and is something to be done after the bladder, when they don't know, since it's not in My hands.

Issue 4 - Unfortunately he doesn't have the expertise to build them, and messes around with water cooling he doesn't need and can't get to work. But he won't be helped or take any advice. But this is supposed to be a computer build thread, not a weblog of his life. Anything I ordered, was ordered before the car gave a hint of any trouble, at least a week in fact. The case, toilet fill valve, and 4 SSD's, plus 2 cables for this PC, the Koolance adapter, and the 280mm grill(I need a drill for the last two): Order placed(See pic below) March 20, 2017 Now when did the struts go? March 27th https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80314&postid=1858034#1858034 The car can handle Me it has a gross weight rating far higher than My weight, it's a '1999 Ford Escort zx2 sport hot coupe', go look it up ya busy body. And if I were to get stranded, 43 miles from home? I can't exactly walk very far, and no relatives would be around, My sister in law is gone to France and Italy. And I do have anxiety issues, plus hailing a cab here could be expensive, and this isn't exactly bloody London... And I have a leaky toilet, the current toilet valve leaks thru the overflow only, I just need someone who can get down on their knees, since this is a simple thing to install. BS, I have expertise, I have built more than My share since 1980, I've also cleaned PC's of malware, installed drivers(though not on one ancient 486, which was a friends PC, I saved a lot of His PCs there, His employees visited websites in their work), I just don't have a lot of energy to do so with anymore, so it takes longer.

Then there is this Corsair Carbide Air 540 case, got it used off of Amazon, it's in pretty good shape, it's to house the EVGA P55 FTW motherboard, since the HAF-X is not really Hybrid friendly beyond 1 card.

I just accessed the Uber site and service is available in your area. The cost of your ride will be under $200, round trip. Please call your physician's office and tell them that you definitely will be there April 10th. It's not worth it, since I'd still need to replace the struts, I'd have to spend between $45 and $91 for a one way trip to the Hospital via Uber, and they never assigned Me a time, since surgery was never approved, and the Doc had submitted the application for approval a month back, and still nothing, the 10th is/was a guess on the Docs part. And the Uber drivers would have to accept a credit card, I don't carry cash. And then I'd still need to get home afterwards, which means I'd have to wake up from the general anesthesia, and figure out how to get a ride home, if one was available, since the hour of release could be at night. No, I'd rather use My own car, severe anxiety rules Me at times, I'm more comfortable, if I'm secure or in control.

Soon I will be installing that, probably during the next outage on Tuesday. I also got in a small 8" long 2pin fan extension cable, cause one 2pin cable that plugs the LEDs in is too short, and always becomes disconnected when I pull the top of the case off. Then there is a Fluidmaster Toilet fill valve and flapper, one toilet here leaks water into the overflow, now I just need to find someone who can install that properly. Now I got a Corsair A540 case at the Post Office to pickup, and a 280mm hex grill, plus there are four NEW 525GB SSD's, and a Koolance 120/140mm fan adapter are on the way here. The SSD's were a steal... And everything mentioned here is NEW... Except the photons on this page, I'm pretty sure they're used. 4 of Crucial MX300 525GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD1 Sold by: ttghggfbn $11.59 And that's $11.59 each, eat your heart out guys, I'd gotten a check in to reimburse Me for some of My electricity that I used, under the Liheap program, all $343.00 worth. I also used some to help pay down a credit card too. That should be a Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black , instead of a Corsair A540 case, missed the time limit, that will replace a CoolerMaster HAF-X case, which is really only good for Air or Custom water cooling, not so much for a hybrid setup, not without a fan grill that might or might now work, plus extra screws, nuts and a few washers. Now the Corsair cased EVGA P55 FTW will only need a cpu cooler, and I should be able to get that Win 7 Pro x64 system online, at least once I've bought a few heatsinks for a video card(for the ram and vrms), and maybe buy some 6-32 screws, lock washers and nuts for another card. The 4820K cpu is doing ok, on water it's running at about 65C(idle is at about 35C), though if I delidded the cpu(removed the IHS, Integrated Heat Spreader), and applied some better heatsink compound, instead of the Intel supplied junk, I could lower the cpu temp some more, yeah the i7 4820K and 4930K cpu's IHS are not soldered down, unlike on the 4960X, which is soldered down, and expensive, not to mention hard to find. It's just a matter of slowly and carefully slicing through the black adhesive that attaches the IHS to the cpu(and avoiding any damage to the core, or you have a keyring instead), the core only has cheap heatsink compound connecting the core to the IHS. I have 5 single edge blades here for that.

Soon I will be installing that, probably during the next outage on Tuesday. I also got in a small 8" long 2pin fan extension cable, cause one 2pin cable that plugs the LEDs in is too short, and always becomes disconnected when I pull the top of the case off. Then there is a Fluidmaster Toilet fill valve and flapper, one toilet here leaks water into the overflow, now I just need to find someone who can install that properly. Now I got a Corsair A540 case at the Post Office to pickup, and a 280mm hex grill, plus there are four NEW 525GB SSD's, and a Koolance 120/140mm fan adapter are on the way here. The SSD's were a steal... And everything mentioned here is NEW... Except the photons on this page, I'm pretty sure they're used. 4 of Crucial MX300 525GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD1 Sold by: ttghggfbn $11.59 And that's $11.59 each, eat your heart out guys, I'd gotten a check in to reimburse Me for some of My electricity that I used, under the Liheap program, all $343.00 worth. I also used some to help pay down a credit card too.

I do have one or two other known working video cards, but one needs four 6-32 screws to screw a fan on to its radiator, this card at one time was bought new by Me. Plus this card uses two fans since the radiator is about 0.5" thick, and so I need a 4 pin Y adapter too, so I'm at a stand still, the only other card that I have needs heatsinks for the ram and the vrms on the card, otherwise I have no usable video cards right now, and I can't buy one, that would take more time than I have. It doesn't help that I found this EVGA X79 Dark is bowed a bit near the usb ports on the back, but it's an rma from EVGA, so please don't flame Me, which some of you do to Me, if I buy new I get flamed, and if I don't I get flamed, if someone wants to flame Me, go post elsewhere, since I will not tolerate that here. Also I could not find a drivers CD for an evga x79 motherboard, and that is here and online. When I tested this motherboard I had a 3820 cpu installed, now the board has a 4820k, the bios is the latest, and is ivy bridge compatible, the 4820k is an ivy bridge cpu, the 3820 is sandy bridge. This b0 error might be ram related(I read that on an EVGA forum pertaining to the X79 Dark), since the two sticks that are in there are Corsair vengeance ram(1866MHz), what I had in there when testing was not the Corsair ram, but My old standby, G.Skill Ripjaws X ddr3-1333 ram, I'll swap the ram first, with 1 stick of 4GB G.skill ram. Since a video card swap is not currently doable. The ram is fully seated. Of course this might mean goodbye, I know what to do, but I might be at an impasse, maybe the ram swap will do the trick, if not, My Battleship is sunk. Edit: Ok it was the stupid ram, everthing works! Yay! The i7-4820k cpu is running at 56C at the moment, now 57C-59C, vrm is at 44C, the cpu seems to have settled at 65-69C. Naturally I had to set to set BCLK ratio and setting to x 1.25(1.00 is normal) and to 140 MHz(100MHz is normal), also I set the cpu multiplier to manual, and the cpu setting to 27 to get 3780MHz(3700MHz is normal), vcore is floating at 1.204 v. Oh and on Monday, My nephew is getting married again, He's a fast worker alright.

Alphacool has yet to respond, but they seem to be in Germany, so maybe next week I'll try again. I just got off the phone with Azzatek customer support, the 9000 has two 4 pin cables, the problem is Azzatek can't identify them, they aren't power related, and they aren't usb 2.0 either or usb 3.0 for that matter, I guess I'm on My own on that.

Nope. Actually, any good Allergist will tell you that if you have asthma that you are at higher risk for pneumonia. Due to this risk, it is best to be vaccinated periodically; something like every ten years you should get another pneumonia shot. PLUS, now there's even another strain of pneumonia that Prevnar 13 prevents for those age 50 and over. It is said that if you are 50 or older that you should get the Prevnar 13 shot in addition to any prior pneumonia vaccination. I've had my regular pneumonia shot booster several years ago; but, as I will be turning 50 June 30th, I will be getting the Prevnar 13 shot on or after June 30th. I HIGHLY recommend that you get your shots, too, Vic. I believe you've mentioned that you, (like me), have asthma. I think it would be prudent to get vaccinated. TL Ok, this is complicated, but when I had it, dad would not take Me to just any Doctor, He didn't trust any Doctor who hadn't been in the Military, dad was a WWII US Army vet(and a Medic in Europe, 368th I think), He only took Me to a general practitioner, an Allergist? This was back in the 1960's. I'll be turning 57 in July on the 6th.

It seems that you are mixing 2 separate events years apart. Nothing to hide or worry about as the details were mentioned on both the hospital & PTSD thread. However to clear the air, I gave up driving to provide full time care for my partner as advised by her neurological consultant. I returned to working several years ago only to have that stopped due to a couple of strokes over the Xmas period 2015. Statistically speaking (according to the neurological consultant that dealt with me), lefties recover much better & faster from strokes with little effects (those that do recover of course). Even now, I often wonder as to why that is. As for a training role, too long in the tooth for that, besides happy with what I'm doing now. I wonder how lefties compare to those who are ambi's?

Sometimes you do have to "gun" the car to merge in and keep pace with the traffic but my eye is on that rev counter. And if I get flashed, cut up, or horned at tough. You can always pullover to the middle lane, then drop in behind them, take down the reg plate and report them to the police. But it is up you to pick a safe time to merge in, mind you the queue behind you might get impatient, that is the other problem. It's all a question of judgement If I drove on motorways everyday I would certainly get a dash cam. Some on ramps and a few fwy interchanges in CA(I don't know about anywhere else, so YMMV) also have red and green traffic lights, to try and regulate the flow of vehicles, out here the population is lower, so We don't have that.

I think so, since I still have Cats upstream, and the car passes smog, which is due this year, and which I pass every year, I don't even drip oil anymore since the valve cover gasket was replaced, smog here does both a tailpipe and a visual inspection, some parts of CA also do a treadmill type test, this area doesn't do that. Oh and the redline is at 6500rpm, of course seeing that happen is very much dependent on the tach working correctly or not, sometimes the tach will stay at zero, only to suddenly come to life and then later on drop back to zero when running, I've even had the tach say it was running at 8000rpm, that I do not believe, since I've read these tachs have a problem and Ford could have fixed it, but didn't, I do have a replacement from another zx2 in a speedo assembly, eventually I'll get that installed and the odometer matched to what the current one says. What's the problem with the tach? I think the tach jumps out of gear, though I could be wrong, the method for getting this sleepy tach to work again doesn't always work, that's to pound the dash over the tach until it does or until one gives up in frustration, and a 3rd party replacement? There isn't one that I know of.

It has a 38mm thick radiator, others of this type have 27-30mm radiators. The fan would be a 140x25mm Noctua Industrial @ 3000rpm(only 1 fan is needed). Some stick on heatsinks for the 580 video card, for memory and for the power part of the card, which is all that keeps this card from running, currently the card will overheat and shutdown. Ideally a new Corsair A540 case would also help, since the Cooler Master HAF-X case the EVGA P55 FTW is in, is not ideal, oh and why the P55 FTW motherboard?

On the other hand, bananas don't grow on trees here. Well, we import ours, too. Not really sure from where, but someplace tropical. Yes. From the Dominican Republic most likely. From the same country the bananas came from I bought today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFDOI24RRAE Bananas in California in a coastal box canyon as late as 2002, the guy had 200 acres of fruit up until 1995, until a landslide took it all out... http://articles.latimes.com/2002/aug/28/food/fo-bananas28

I also can't get some keys made, one for the back door, and two for the front, the front door is unusable for a bit since the key broke off in the lock, I went to the place in Barstow to get the keys made that installed the lock, I don't know why they were closed they're supposed to be open M-F 9-5, closed from 12-1pm for lunch, I got there after 2pm, no one there, even UPS had left a note, maybe someone died, I don't know, also the school system came and went. I'll call another locksmith instead, there are I think 3 other locksmiths in Barstow, one of them ought to be in business, A2Z lost business today. Oh but the Carbon Monoxide detector is powered up, just above the countertop in the kitchen, that's the only working outlet that I can get to, the one where I want to put it at is too old, though that location is near the floor, and is the only usable location really, I'd need an electrician to replace 3 outlets, find out why 1 outlet works for the Detector & yet nothing else, and 2 breakers, then the CO detector could be plugged where I'd like it to be mounted at.

Bills are demands for money that have to be paid. So why will paying a bill give you money you don't have now to buy new keys?? I was just thinking that myself - you must surely know (to within a few cents) what your monthly park bill is going to be, so either you have the money to buy the keys now, or you are going to have to wait until after your next "pay" cheque arrives - I would guess that you are probably going to have to wait for the cheque as this is a rather unfortunate, unplanned, expense that you could do without (as would most of us here - changing locks or getting new keys cut is all too often a grade one PITA...) LOL, nope, the bill includes two items that can't be predicted, electrical and natural gas usages, this problem is effecting everyone in the park, not just Me, this is cause someone related to the owner who handles the bills for the park was or is still on a vacation, I've got $507.73 set aside for this bill, the manager said, when He gets the bills in an email, He will print them out, and distribute them, He is also a renter here, Me I'm a resident since I own My place, so I just rent the land, here's an example that I pulled directly from My notes: (Rent+Utils(265[rent]+30[water]+15[trash]+63.92[elec]+10.93[gas]) The first three are fixed amounts, at least until further notice, the last two currently are previous billed amounts and could be higher or lower than this).

Not only that, but the pool at the bottom of the spillway has been filled in by all the debris washed down (estimated at 1.7 million cubic yards), and that in turn has stopped the operation of the hydro power station (the tail race is blocked), which then further reduces the ability to lower the dams water level, as well as taking out over 800MW of power capacity from the network. Oroville dam update. I suggest watching the video in full screen mode to get a better appreciation of the scale of the damage caused by the spillway failure. And towards the end of the still shots are some of the Auxiliary spillway erosion damage. The only way that can be of future use is if the whole damn thing is concreted, otherwise the damage will just re-occur in an un-concreted area. The reason the Emergency Spillway was not paved in 2005, is cause one political party had what is known as Minority Power or than 1/3 of the votes in the CA State Legislature in 2005, which is important for Appropriations(and according to Prop 13 of 1978 raising taxes of any sort, for any reason requires 2/3rds approval), which require at least a 2/3rds vote or the Bill does not pass, in 2016 the voters fixed that, that Party now does not have Minority Power anymore.

I still have a 9w and a 7w to install, one requires a new ladder since one location is out of My 6'1" reach. And how much has this spending of your limited funds on new lamps saved on your electricity bill? Or put it another way. In which year to you expect to get a return on your investment? Ok let Me see instead of using a 14w CFL lamp, I'm using a 7w LED lamp which is 370 lumens(soft white), which cost Me $3.59+tax or $3.87 total, over the sink I was using two 14w CFL lamps since the fixture is about 8' over head, now I'm using a 9w LED lamp with 850 lumens(Daylight) for $4.30 ea w/tax, the 10.5w lamps also cost the same as the 9w lamps. At the time I had an extra $48.40, it's money well spent, since the CFL's I have are 11 years old now, lamps don't last forever. I bought six 7w, two 9w, and two 10.5w GE LED lamps, plus two 4w LED lamps(non GE for the range hood, which replaced a 14w CFL). 12 lamps total, 10 of the 12 were on a closeout sale, there was a thin layer of dirt on the boxes, I still have to replace 3 CFL lamps, but they'll wait, since I replaced the ones that I used the most, and 1 of the 3 needs a ladder to get at, My current step ladder is broken.

I applied for and got a Medical Baseline Program added to My electric bill, it is supposed to go along with the CARE rate, but I had to tell the billing company to put CARE back on with the Medical Baseline Program(for cooling and heating purposes, they'd taken CARE off, and then added Medical and Basic, and last month My bill shot up at bit, where as My Gas was still on the CARE rate), hopefully that will be corrected in My next bill, which will show up in a few days.

I have a cheap firewalled(rooted by yours truly) smart phone that is paid for by the state of CA and by a surcharge that's been on phones for decades(saves Me $30 a month), My car insurance company debits My checking account directly, that saves Me some money. I shop at Food4Less for food, and that saves Me $0.10 per gallon of gasoline at their pump(only once a month). I got My property taxes cut from $205.30 a year to $80.30 a year. My next cut would be with Spectrum> cable(Charter Spectrum, I'm in an ex-TWC MAXX area) , but so far that is not in My area(maybe by April), this would require Me to relocate My internet to a different provider so that I could be a New Customer(30 days max), and be on SSI while being 65+ in age(I don't know if I can get these restrictions waved or not), just to save about $45 a month on My cable bill, internet costs $59.99 a month for 100/10 here(and that is the minimum speed on Spectrum), the SSI speed is 30/4(or maybe 30/5) and is $14.99, that is just not here yet, I complained to the CPUC here but so far that has done nothing. I'm also going to have the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County out here to do weatherization on this fixer that I own and live in, like 3 new windows, 2 new doors, and a new gas heating/ac system. And I also applied to the CAPSBC for an LiHeap check, I say check since I live in a mobile home park and the electric and gas here are sub metered, so I'm not a direct customer, otherwise I'd get a credit on My account.

Well do what us poorer people with only one bathroom do, leave the door open to get an even temperature around the home. That is not that unhygienic. Look everyone suggests stuff, but without a way to pay for it, It can be frustrating, We can understand that, but people have sent you money before only to see it used in an inappropriate way. I would like to get a multi sparker, but with shipping that is $34.70 to Me, a CO detector also costs money, My gas gauge in My car is dubious, I supposedly have a 12.7 gallon tank, yet 1/4 tank or less, might be 3 gallons or might be 7 gallons, . I would suggest that you try to get things more in proportion and perspective. How can you equate a lifesaving CO detector with a dodgy petrol tank gauge? I already have 2 smoke detectors, neither needs a battery, both work, even if one is possibly mounted wrong, but that's another shortcut that Fleetwood stuck Me with... Well simply unscrew it and remount it. How many years have you owned this place and done nothing about it? ... Hey it's FREE. I have 2 bathrooms, one is usable and cold, and the other has a toilet that nearly constantly runs DHMO thru the overflow, the float in that bathroom needs replacement, it's on the list, actually both floats are.

But no operating gas station, car parts, or real estate office in downtown Yermo, though there is a staffed volunteer fire station, an antique store across from the market(painted Orange and White), and a place that will sell you tires, plus a small motel, and a fast food restaurant that was the original location of the original Del Taco(not the phony one in Barstow, that is the original Corporate Del Taco). There are a few gas stations, a motel, a diner, a 50's restaurant, a Jack in the Box, an ice cream shop(Dairy Queen, in the Shell station w/the Subway), and a Subway restaurant, all clustered around Ghost Town Rd, so named cause the road goes to the Calico Ghost Town(a county owned park really, which even has an operating steam train), at least the half that isn't at Knott's Berry Farm.

People seem to assume if one is fat and that one is going to have a heart attack, well I'm not, I may have problems standing and walking, among other problems(stomach in My chest partly), but a heart attack isn't one of them...

Oh and the Liheap application got mailed today, cost was $1.40 total, better than what the CAPSBC got charged, which was $1.57, and I have 1 more piece of paper in their reused manila envelope than they did, go figure.

"The storm looks to be the strongest storm to hit southwest California this season," the National Weather Service said. "It is likely the strongest within the last six years and possibly even as far back as December 2004 or January 1995." Gusts of 87mph (140km/h) were reported on the Big Sur scenic coastal highway. Ryan Maue, a meteorologist for WeatherBell Analytics, told the Los Angeles Times that 10 trillion gallons of rain would fall on California in the next week, enough to power Niagara Falls for 154 days.

Over the next few centuries, the concept of zero caught on in China and the Middle East. According to Nils-Bertil Wallin of Yale Global, by A.D. 773, zero reached Baghdad where it became part of the Arabic number system, which is based upon the Indian system. A Persian mathematician, Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi, suggested that a little circle should be used in calculations if no number appeared in the tens place. The Arabs called this circle "sifr," or "empty." Zero was crucial to al-Khowarizmi, who used it to invent algebra in the ninth century. Our numbering system is both Arabic and Persian, this will drive some into denial, not to mention possibly up the proverbial wall... LOL

It's being used as a quick hit to clear out the urinary tract ahead of surgery. You may get another course after the surgery. This sort of operation is quite often a simple "up the tube" job, with a few hours resting and make sure you aren't bleeding too much, so day ward or out patients is quite appropriate. Most hospitals will have a few over-night beds available to cover for complications. Thanks rob, I'd wondered how they might do that. @ Chris: Ok, I forgot about that entry.

Fast forward nearly 50 years to the 21st Century, and it is reasonable to query whether it would pass muster today. Once the immediate emergency is over, serious questions need to be asked, and if found necessary, remedial and modernisation work should be funded to be carried out. From what I've read, that is 1968, not 1978, at least according to the wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oroville_Dam Since its completion in 1968, the Oroville Dam has allocated the flow of the Feather River from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the State Water Project's California Aqueduct, which provides a major supply of water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley as well as municipal and industrial water supplies to coastal Southern California, and has prevented large amounts of flood damage to the area â€“ more than $1.3 billion between the years of 1987 and 1999.

Crews are waiting until first thing Monday morning to get a clear view of the damage and start filling the erosion scar. Croyle said officials will be able to assess the damage to the emergency spillway now that the water is no longer spilling over the top. Crews plan to use helicopters to drop rocks into hole on the emergency spillway to prevent possible collapse. Cal Fire said engines, helicopters and bulldozers from across the state are headed to Oroville to help. Crews were filling containers with rocks Sunday night. Then first thing Monday morning, helicopters will drop the packages into the erosion scar in the emergency spillway -- and hopefully, fortify the weir. DWR officials also hope to reduce the water level by another 50 feet in order to take pressure off the emergency spillway. The level needs to be below the level of emergency spillway in case their is a boil in the weir that is allowing water to leak into the gouge. As of midnight, Lake Oroville's water level was at 899.7 feet -- lake capacity is at 901 feet -- decreasing by 5 inches within a n hour. "The lower (the water level) gets, the less pressure (on the spillway) there will be," KCRA meteorologist Mark Finan said. DWR officials also increased water releases from the main spillway, which can handle water flows up to 250,000 cfs, to 100,000 cfs. DWR said the increased flows will further damage the main spillway, but it the only outlet for the water to leave the lake quickly. According to Finan, if the inflows and outflows stay the same, the lake's water level would drop 20 feet within 36 hours. http://www.kcra.com/article/evacuation-orders-issued-for-low-levels-of-oroville/8735215

They would stop any significant erosion in the area and their impact on the flow of water would be minimal- it's a relatively steep slope & broad area. My guess is that they think once the trees are pulled loose by the rushing water, they will be able to cause damage to things they hit, more than the water by itself would. Or, they may think the trees will run into other obstacles that can't/won't be pulled loose and cause impromptu dams of their own, leading to uncontrolled flooding away from the spillway area. I also beginning to think the DWR after promising the auxiliary spillway would stay dry that someone reran the number about how much water is coming in to the dam and went oops. IIRC they said they took out the trees so they don't destroy some downstream things, like the fish hatchery, which is needed for salmon spawning because the dam is there and they didn't build a fish ladder. I'm also beginning to get a feel that someone in the DWR simply refuses to tell the public the true picture, or they can't forecast the snow melt rate or the amount of rain. This how many years after the dam opened and they don't have good data?! At least I hope Oroville dam doesn't get remembered like the St. Francis dam. Oroville dam opened in 1968, that's 49 years ago.

(KCRA) â€” Water has begun to slowly flow over the Oroville Dam emergency spillway Saturday morning as Lake Oroville has reached full capacity and water outflows by way of the damaged spillway have decreased. As of 12 p.m. Saturday, the California Department of Water Resources believes water will continue to spill over the emergency spillway for the next 38 to 56 hours. This is the first time the uncontrolled emergency spillway has been used in the dam's 48-year history and could only happen one the lake reached full capacity at 901 feet elevation. Flows over this secondary chute will likely range between 6,000 and 12,000 cfs, the California Department of Water Resources said. DWR is continuously monitoring the damaged spillway to ensure no more erosion occurs. They are letting out 55,000 cfs on the spillway to prevent further erosion to it. The DWR acting director's objective is to have a new or repaired spillway in place before the next wet season, hopefully by October. He added that crews will have to turn off the spillway during the next dry period to fix the eroded spillway. During this process, water may flow over the emergency spillway again, DWR's acting director said. He continued saying this has to be done to ensure more water could be released from the damaged spillway in the future.

What does flowing water do? Erode or undermine. My guess is the entire spillway will have to be rebuilt. Can't believe that any engineer ... well yes I can. Some engineer likely was told it was for emergency use and not expected to be used at all. But then why the extra unpaved one? Or did they figure out after it was built they were going to have a failure?! Going to cost money. Water rates in California are going up! Well, if you get water from the state water projects anyway. Going to have to tear it all out, regrade the earth, and then build a continuous surface spillway so there is no route for water to undermine it. That likely means the lake will have to be drawn way down and kept that way until the repairs are complete so they don't lose the flood control capacity of the lake. And we are going to have record snow melt in a couple months running into that nearly full lake. What a mess. Nope. Only the parts of the spillway not on Bedrock would need repairs... That would be all of it. Spillways are designed with very specific slopes to control the speed of the water flow and that would have required essentially the entire length to have fill dirt under it so the slope could be adjusted. Gov Brown has declared a state of Emergency in 49 out of 58 counties statewide, and has asked the tRump administration for a Federal disaster declaration too. Which will free up Federal money for CA. Without this spillway, drawing down the lake is not possible, as this damaged spillway, is the main spillway, the emergency spillway is unpaved and being cleared of trees and is only for amounts above 90% of capacity. Lake is at 100%+ Water is now over the emergency spillway height, and downstream flood control has been lost. This is the real emergency. As to draw down, there is a hydroelectric power plant, which can draw down the lake. Not as fast at the river is presently filling the lake however. When the spring snow melt hits there may be some very serious flooding in the Sacramento delta. Oh, as a bonus, now they can only get cement trucks in from the wrong side of the spillway as the correct side has an uncontrolled river flowing down it! This job just got very hard and extra expensive. The articles online said parts of the main spillway are on bedrock, and the emergency spillway is unpaved and full of trees. And that it is the main spillway that is damaged.

Oh and the emergency spillway has trees in it that are currently being cut down and removed, is unpaved, so far has no holes and is unused, unlike what is pictured which is the main spillway, and is very holey. 900' depth was reached in 2013, max depth is 901'.

And yes as the article at the link says, the bill has become due on Oroville dam.

I gave her to a friends mother that had a cat that passed away and was looking for a very loving, cuddly cat and that is Annie. She thinks she is a dog. I told her when she got her though that she couldn't just let her eat because she would never stop. And another reason I gave Annie to her was that she would get hungry at 4AM and stomp all over my face until I got up and fed her! Arggg. If purring didn't work then stomping. If stomping didn't work then rubbing up against your face, if that didn't work then nipping your ear; see how it escalated! Anyway, she's doing great and is well cared for. Midget (the Black Cat) has Cushings Disease, so he lives in the bathroom. Has a little condo and heater and window to look out. He has to have constant running water to drink so it is the only place I can keep him where he has access to trickling water. I'm sorry to hear that, Grace loves to watch running water, though She's pretty and as healthy as she can be, she lives almost anywhere in My mobile home, she's in better shape than I am, right now Grace is sleeping, soon I'll be putting out Her canned dinner.

Just getting on a weatherization waiting list to replace 3 windows, 2 doors, and an old gas central air heating/cooling system, was hard, sending the paperwork was easy, their main objection, that I had no broken windows that obviously leak air and heat, just like My current old windows do, through metal frames that bulge and don't seal anymore, and that leak heat in and out through those same metal frames(aluminum).

I really hope they get to the root of your problems. re:- Your previous note about the chest scan - I guess they were looking to see how much distortion and displacement of your lungs and heart has resulted from your stomach penetrating your diaphragm. The outcome of this scan could well affect how they go about sorting out your other problems. I had a catheter inserted when I was in the Hospital in 2002 for a broken leg, so yeah I know about what to expect, but thanks Rob. Kidney cysts treatment requires a needle to drain them, and then fill them with some alcohol, to make them harden and scar over, they can make fevers, and , pain, not to mention bleeding in the urine, at least from what WebMD says. Oh My blood pressure was 130/92, I was told this was ok.

You still have to account for idiots behind the wheel. The bridge in the photo is clearly marked with a sign showing the height. All commercial and public transport vehicles have a sign in the cab showing the height of the vehicle. Just because a satnav of any description says continue forward, is not a good reason to without using your eyes as well. The other problem is the proliferation of continental lorry drivers coming into in this country with big artics who can't read or speak English. The sat nav in their language says go, so they go. If I ran the Dept of Transport I would bring in a law demanding all foreign drivers to have an endorsement on their licence to drive safely in the UK. Eurostar manages it OK, where one third of drivers are British, the remainder French and Belgian. Before you get a job as a Eurostar driver, you must have at least three years experience with another train operator. The new recruits are then trained for a year, including a course in French. And a course in French, useless here where I live, though if I spoke, read, and wrote French beyond a few words, I'd be eligible for French citizenship from what I've read at least. Though Spanish might sometimes be useful here.

The rest of the panel is alright though, or I'd be in the dark, and I wouldn't be typing this. If I had that situation I'd get some plastic and some duct tape (or something) and figure out a way to keep the breaker box dry when it rains. I have a caulking gun, and a tube of white silicon caulk, it's water resistant, the original caulking developed a crack, between the metal box and the homes wall, I just need a dry day or for the capsbc to caulk that, since I am on the capsbc's approved list for weatherization.

I know several friends further north who were awaken by similar warnings. I unofficially declare our drought over. If only the underground aquifers were recharged. That will take several more decades of above normal rainfall. Maybe not. It was only 8 years of low rain that got us in the drought. Two or three wet years could do it. Or just one year with the rain distributed over a longer period. If fracking has been going on near those aquifers then they may never refill again. Cheers. Fracking can only exist where there are shale deposits, in California, those are all along the San Andreas fault system. Fracking has been done in CA since the early 20's. Shale deposits exist up and down the state. So does the San Andreas. But water and fracking in CA are not an issue. Usable ground water is found 1,200 feet and up. I had one farm with water at 26 feet. Oil is typically 5,000 to 25,000 feet down. It's only found where there is an impermeable layer capping the shale. I have represented oil and oil tool companies and well as hydrologists and water districts. One of the fun things about law is you get to charge as your learning about the industry you are working with. And water seems to lubricate rock along a fault line, as has been proved in Oklahoma, which causes earthquakes, no matter what people in the Oil Industry say...

Cernan was 38 years old when he blasted off for the moon on Dec. 7, 1972, as commander of Apollo 17. With Ronald Evans orbiting above in the command module, Cernan and Harrison Schmitt, a geologist, rode the lunar lander to the moon's surface four days later. They explored for about seven hours each day and Cernan wrote that moonwalking was painful for him because he had injured a tendon in his leg two months earlier playing softball. On the day before returning to the command module, Cernan drove the rover to a point away from the lunar module so that a camera on the vehicle could film their departure. He then paid tribute to his young daughter, Tracy. "I took a moment to kneel and with a single finger, scratched Tracy's initials, TDC, in the lunar dust, knowing those three letters would remain there undisturbed for more years than anyone could imagine," Cernan wrote in his memoir.

If it's worse than it used to be then it may be that the fuel company has changed one of the additives they put in and that is causing the fuel to froth more and which will trigger the sensor. We get this a lot with diesel fuel when the fuel companies are changing over from their summer blends to the winter blends, but I doubt that would be the case with gasoline now you are well into winter. Yesterday I went and got some fuel, at night, due to a medical problem of mine, anyway I usually pin the fuel hose wide open, after a couple stops and such, I tried something different, I slowed down the flow of 87 octane gasoline, that took longer, but I was able to get to the full mark, I was only putting in 8 gallons, the gas gauge said I had about 1/8 of a tank, since the tank is supposedly 12.7 or 12.8 gallons(depending on the source cited), I must have had 4 in the tank already, it's that or I have less capacity than I thought, or the gauge like the tach needs replacing with the speedo assembly that I bought a while back. No matter what, it's enough to go to Corona and back.

Just talked to her.....she was outside doing some snow shoveling and went inside to get a drink of water. Coming in from the bright sunshine into the house, she did not see Starbucks kitty on the floor in the hall. Stepped on him and went down hard. Bruised her knee and twisted an ankle and her back. She does not think she broke anything. After going back out to finish the shoveling, she seems to be moving OK. Going to take a couple of ibuprofen and a hot shower............... Starbucks ran off scared because she was yelling in pain and he didn't know what was going on. I am sure Lori is gonna be a bit sore tomorrow, but she thinks she will be allright. Other than being scared, Starbucks was not hurt. He is fine. And came and made up with Lori later. Meouch. Wow, sorry to hear this, Lori and Starbucks (and Kittyman) are in my prayers +1

From Barstow to Albuquerque I typically set my cruise control at 80-85. My Ferrari's top end is around 160 but I have had all of my vehicles, including my Ford F350 over 100 on many occasions. The Orange smiley face or Orange Butterfly was seen on My android phone(same difference). So I rooted My phone(King root), installed a firewall(Root firewall), have Malwarebytes Anti-malware software scanning the phone, so far so good(Stubborn Trojan Killer), disabled the built in browser from accessing the firewall(though not Chrome). My 1999 Ford Escort zx2 sport hot coupe will do 105mph, though it's not smooth above 90mph, it's a bit of a bumpy ride above 90, plus the gas gauge sinks very fast, this is from a 2.0L zetec 130hp dohc i4 engine(made by Mazda, as is the suspension, brakes and such, the 15" rims though are I think made by Ford), with the stock computer settings, if I changed the hp to equal the S/R model that has 143hp, I might get some more speed, unknown as to how much of course. I've gone faster, though I won't say where, 125mph on a 1984 Suzuki GS1150ES, and 135mph in a 2006 Mustang GT that had a bad Master Power Relay(the relay would eat the battery on nights with temps below 32F/0C, this was fixed in the 2007 model supposedly). Suffice it to say the Mustang could have gone much faster, but I was running out of road...

8537) Message boards : Number crunching : My Computer Builds And Other Projects (Message 1842030) Posted 13 Jan 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Ok, I just did some maintenance on My PNY LC 580 video card after hearing some strange noises, the stock PNY 120mm fan was failing, the PNY fan was running so slow that I could stop it with My finger and not get cut(42C without the fan running, and without Seti running), after much painful effort(My back), I got the fan replaced, with a Delta AFB-1212SH-F00 fan(as used by Dell), Digi-key rates this 3400rpm fan @ 113.1 cfm, I only got two screws on one side screwed in, but it's working, and yes I did vacuum the fan while it was powered down(it was filthy), I would have used the 120mm wire fan grill, but the PNY screws aren't long enough, since they are only long enough for a 25mm thick fan, which the Delta just happens to be. @ 772MHz, 45C is reported while crunching. @ 857MHz, 45-53C is reported while crunching, from what Afterburner says at least. @ 51MHz, 32C Idle for this fan... Though until I vacuum the radiator, which looks filthy, I'll keep the card at a lower speed, did I ever say I hate this case? Well sometimes I do. 45-47C is much better than 82C or even 94C that the old PNY fan was reporting. Except for the screw problem, the video card is fixed, the ram and two fans for the cpu radiator are next though not for today, one of the two 8GB ram dimms needs moving to a different slot, and the two fans need to be plugged into the motherboard directly. 857MHz is the stock speed of the PNY LC GTX580, LC = Liquid Cooled Note: These Delta fans are miss-wired, Dell has the red and black wires swapped(they are a royal pain in the neck for Me to rewire, so don't ever ask Me to help on these, My eyesight is not as good as it used to be), and yes they will slice nicely into human skin, so be careful! Anything further about Me personally, can be found in Cafe: Don't know where it should go? Stick it here! Part IV thread, this way I have less threads to keep track of.

The thing is Vic you've been spending all those few $'s of yours on obsolete parts back when I put my 2500K rig together (6yrs ago?) and your still no better off years later and I've replaced my old Q6600 setup with a 3570K plus gone through several GPU upgrades on both rigs in all that time. Now lets see Vic, I've likely spent much less $'s on hardware than you over the years, but look at my RAC compared to yours. I go forwards while you still go backwards, quite frankly you need a big change in direction and thinking buddy. ;-) Cheers. BS, I have not spent a penny in over a year, and obsolete? The Asus X79 RIVE is as advanced as I could afford on My income, but then I don't have your huge income, My income in 2017 is $10,748.64 a year, you get more than I do, but then I'm not able bodied anymore, I do the best I can with what I have. I'm sure not going to spend money on the latest, since I can't afford an X99 system, cpu, and ram with what I get a month, I do have, rent, food, 2 bills, DMV and smog in September, property taxes in December to pay, I'll be lucky if I can afford to buy 1 GTX1060 video card in November 2017 or so, then it would have to go on a credit card. We have a saying here, "talk is cheap". And no I don't want anything from you, I would not accept it, not after this.

Part IV (Message 1841344) Posted 11 Jan 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: My PC vacuumed mostly Vic, vacuuming a PC out is the worst thing in the world that you can do and is very likely the cause of all your hardware failures as all vacuum cleaners create static electricity and will discharge it whenever & wherever possible. Use a compressor with a moisture separator instead. Cheers. This was only on the outside just to the air filters, I've not had any hardware failures w/the Asus RIVE motherboard(though I can't say the case connector on top of the AZZA 9000B is designed too well, I have 1 damaged usb connector, which would cost $16 to replace the whole board, just to fix one bent usb connector, pulled out of its soldered location, the case might look impressive, but the main drive bays are too narrow, I bought it supposedly new, turns out someone owned it before Me, they tried to widen the 5.25" drive bays, that didn't work, they're still too tight). The last motherboard had a hardware failure only cause the last motherboard tried to take in too much voltage to support 3 GTX295 cards on the 24pin motherboard connector, since that motherboard had no 12v aux power input on the motherboard for the video cards, the present motherboard(an Asus RIVE) and the 3 others(EVGA X79 Dark, EVGA P55 FTW, and Asus X58 R3E) all have an aux 12v power connector on the motherboard, the 1050w Enermax psu except for the 24pin power connector was at least was protected, it can be repaired w/a new connector, but that will eventually cost Me $100.00, but that is a ways off and is not a high priority, this cable is not a modular cable, so it has to be repaired, as the 1050w psu is only partly modular. I have not had a motherboard fail since then. I hurriedly put this PC together, since I needed a working PC fast, doing that makes Me break out in sweat and My back to hurt, since I am heavy, tall, and My abdomen pulls on My back. 2 fans need to have their power cables relocated, the 1 fan for the gpu needs a faster fan to be installed, I need to move 1 Dimm from a different channel, since 2 of My 8GB Dimms are sharing the same channel, and now I know why I have almost no energy to do work on almost anything, My kidneys have been the cause it seems, and now a real pain too. Since I know My PC better than anybody, cause I'm the guy who built it, I do know what to do, I'm not worried, I have a Sears Kenmore vacuum cleaner. So Wiggo, much as I like you, please, I do know what I'm doing.

I have OA in My joints, the kidneys make pain on their own, and there is the kidney induced body temp I'm suffering from. 2-Time Release caplets(8hrs) @ 650mg ea caplet are helping, I'm following the directions, no more than 6 a day, otherwise nothing is happening. I did manage to get the kitchen & My PC vacuumed mostly, I put a box away, mostly pushed that into a bedroom, then lifted it onto another box, I need more shelving. The CT scan also revealed that a small part of My stomach is above My diaphragm(a hernia), which makes it hard to breathe.

Part IV (Message 1840905) Posted 8 Jan 2017 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Vic, having read what you've posted in Number Crunching about your health I have a few observations. First is I would guess that the IV drug you were given was "Tramadol", a very effective "first aid" drug for most intense pains, without the massive addiction problems associated with morphine. I'm not surprised you didn't catch the name if you were in the sort of pain I've been in with my kidneys - I would describe it as being kicked in the back by an angry mule, who then really looses it... Next, the hernia where you stomach is protruding above your diaphragm, this may well go some way to explaining your shortness of breath and will not be overly popular with any anesthetist who has to put you out as it presents all sorts of risks... Did any of the docs show you the CT or US scans? - If so, using your fist as representing the size of your kidney how big were the lumps?? (The size can give an indication to the nature of the lumps, generally the smaller the less likely they are to be cancerous.) From the sound of it these lumps are tumours, but without a biopsy determining their nature is difficult unless they grow at a massive rate between two scans in a short period of time, in which case they are almost certainly cancerous (renal cancer is the generic name for any cancer in the kidney, as with almost every "organ specific" cancer there are several types). Things you can do to help - first, increase the amount of fibre in your diet, wheat based cereals are much lower in fibre than oat based - this will help increase the speed at which food passes through your stomach and gut, so reducing the pressure on your diaphragm. Eat more veg, particularly green stuff, including peas and green beans, (I join with you in saying "Yuk"), but they all help with your digestion, and so help reduce the pressure from your stomach on your diaphragm. Finally try to limit your intake of pain killers, long term, or high doses of Tylenol are not too good for either your liver or kidneys - you don't want to add liver problems to those you've already got... So, today you now have three priorities - your health, your health, your health. Is this Tramadol something one would get if one were driving home? I was told they couldn't give Me anything that would impair My driving ability. No such luck, just said one was bigger, plus which side the bigger one was on, I had a CT scan in the ER(Emergency Room). I actually like carrots, peas, corn, and green beans, I've got a freezer almost chock full of those, in 12oz microwavable packets, 6.5 mins cook time. I try to take only 2 pills a day, an extra 2 if needed, they are also a fever reducer too, I took a nap woke up in a sweat, could be the sofa/recliner, since there is no fan there. One day I did spot some clouded urine indicating an infection, maybe, that's when I stopped taking the naproxen sodium pills, since they suppress the immune system. I have not seen any clouded urine since then.

As to the masses, I was told they could be benign, tumors, or renal cancer(worrisome goes with cancer, according to the ER), so now My Doctor is trying to find an MRI to get a better look and arrange for a Biopsy, so for the moment I wait.

Not that Grace is a darned cat, it just came to mind. A pic of Grace and Her feeder, sorry the old phone is not working as well as it used to for some reason, farther away is worse. I washed the dispenser before putting any of Her dry food in it, She adapted quickly, once I put Her metal bowl out of sight. This one holds almost 3.5lbs of food, which is the size of bag that I buy, putting this away for Her canned food will be a challenge though, but not something I can't do.

It is, but it's expensive & time consuming. Gantry cranes to lift the carriage off of the bogies, then move them over & put them on the bogies sitting on the other gauge track. Then you have double or even triple gauge sections of track. Expensive to build, expensive to maintain. Much easier & cheaper just to transfer the load, particularly with containerisation. Not like the days, not so long ago, when the change of gauge was all done by hand. A platform between the 2 different gauge lines, and lots of people to move the freight off of one train on to the platform, then from the platform to the other train. That reminded Me of a railroad I'd read about years ago, the EBT(East Broad Top), they went from Narrow to Standard, but yeah Containers are much easier, as would be moving people from one fast train to another.

This doesn't go to why I feel like the water here is Ice Cold, or why in the ER I felt like I had a fever, then I had chills, then repeat, so much so that I had to put My jacket back on, I read it might be an infection, I'll have to mention this, as the ER only took My temp once. Though from what I've read, My kidneys might be making the water seem colder than it really is, or maybe not, I don't know.

The train from Far Rockaway was arriving at the Brooklyn transit hub around 8:20 a.m. when it slammed into the block at the end of the track â€” reminiscent of Septemberâ€™s fatal Hoboken station crash. Authorities reported there were 103 mostly minor injuries among the 650 riders, with the most seriously injured suffering a broken leg, authorities said. A broken leg I was told, is life threatening. But then I had one break in 2002.

Part IV (Message 1838956) Posted 30 Dec 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Ok I just got back from the Barstow Community Hospital ER, where I had some blood and urine samples taken, plus I had a Cat Scan, they found growths on both of My kidneys, the smaller growth is on the left, the bigger is on the right, plus they found blood in My urine, gave Me something for the intense pain, along w/an iv drip of saline solution(weird way to get a drink), I was alternating between higher temp and I gather normal, since I was sweating and then not sweating, plus they said My potassium was low and gave Me 2 potassium pills, with some water, I was advised to call My Doctor and setup an appointment asap(Monday, but they closed then), for urologist, so I did that, on the way there I had to stop the car near the Barstow Rd exit doubled over in intense pain and I almost felt like puking. These 2 growths could be: benign, tumor, or cancer... I was told. I'm hoping for Benign. Then I went to buy some extra strength Tylenol 650mg, bananas, and some crackers(Chicken in a Biskit, by Nabisco), then I went home and fed Grace, and I'm doing some laundry. And Grace tossed Her cookies before I came home, in the living room, lovely...

But sugar is in almost everything we eat or drink. Yeah, I know that, I stopped drinking coffee, which means no more creamer, which has sugar in it, plus I didn't buy any ice cream this month, some cereal that I have does have sugar, about 2nd or 3rd down the list, I only eat that with water, and yes the water has no sugar, though it does have calcium carbonate in the water, I may look for a cereal that has no sugar, and yet does taste good, honey bunches of oats has sugar. Most of the other foods that I have do not contain sugar, with the exception of soda, though that has caffeine and carbonation, the Nestles powdered milk that I have I'm not sure of, though I think I may want something without lactose, I feel like the Hindenburg at the moment, and it's a bit painful, though I have not had any milk in days...

That is simply way outta line. Yes. $150 is outrageous. I can have it done for $20. If a vet is charging too much, then you might look into a local shelter. They might offer to do it for less. I my area we have a few times each year where one vet or another will have a special day - a vaccination day - where they will vaccinate pets at a discount. Sometimes this includes microchipping. $150 is certainly a rip-off. Since April all dogs in the UK have to be microchipped, fine of Â£500 if you don't. The normal cost with a vet is Â£15 but there are organisations and charities that do it cheaper, even free. The lowest I've found is $25(Thousand Palms, CA), while the highest on this one gov webpage is $75(Chino Hills, CA), both are too far away, $30 just over in Barstow, and Barstow is the closest to Me. I'll get to this asap, just not this second.

Hah! Totally agree & it will only get much worse. For an efficient road haulage, one must have an organised distribution system. They are out there but as Rob showed on the train thread: - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38400214, large vehicles can cause havoc in cities. There are 2 issues with large vehicles: 1: Size 2: Weight No matter how efficient engines get, the heavier the weight, the more fuel used & stopping distance grows which brings us to the biggest elephant in the room (at least in the UK at least) It has been mooted that London intends to be diesel free by 2025. That leaves 9 years to get replacement infrastructure in place. Gas? Electric? Good luck with either :-) I read elsewhere about Trucks using Catenary, this is more of an experiment at this point, since a totally electric truck would need batteries to go on roads where Catenary isn't really practical, like on small streets in residential areas as an example. On a curvy road. This is a Siemens demonstration in Germany. In the rain.

Also check to be sure the valve (usually manual) in the gas line to the pilot is fully open. last possibility is a faulty regulator may not have the correct pressure for the gas, too low. Can't remember if you have said if you are on natural gas or propane. If natural gas IIRC the Gas Company offers a free safety check and light. If there are issues while they can't fix it (liability) they will tell you what it is. Yes, a pilot can be blown out, but you haven't been talking about howling winds shaking the building. if that was the case it relights PDQ anyway. I haven't talked about winds lately, but then I get tired of typing, I was self taught back in the 80's on a modified computer(memory and keyboard) by typing in programs from Compute magazine, in Atari Basic. But We do get winds here, down the street is a wind turbine, a small one, Barstow has 2 more that are possibly about the same type, and one that is, HUGE, each of that one blades would fit on 1.5 flatcars... In any case I'm not in shape to do this, so a pro is being called in, they have to have time to fit Me into their schedule, plus they might waive the trip charge, maybe. I just have to keep the bill to less than $200 total.

I still think it points back to the thermal couple, either crap all over it or just plain weak. I was just asking, it's better to ask, than not to have asked at all.

If the manual button were held down on the valve, wouldn't you smell any? This model does not have any auto igniter, though I wish it did. For 10 years I had little to no trouble. When it runs, it's great, My oven is ok, but I can't have the oven on all night tonight, thankfully this is the last sub freezing night for this area that is predicted, current temp is 34F, predicted low is 29F, take the low with a grain of dry salt, that could be 24F or so. The guy here said He has lit furnaces like this with ease, there are more than a few of this type here, and He smelled no gas being emitted. And the place(H&B Refrigeration) that first came here in November said everything was ok, outside of not being lit, and I paid $75 just to get the thing lit. Me I think something has changed since then, and so does the guy who tried and failed after just over an hour of trying. Note: This one is just an example, I have no pic of mine, yet.

Flame on the pilot is too low and should be cleaned off. 2 The thermal couple is either bad or coated with crap and will shut down. 3 you might have a down draft blowing it out. these 3 things can be fixed or replaced cheap. 4 gas valve shot and that is a little pricey but they either work or they don't, sounds like that isn't the problem. Ok, people have noted over the years that the furnace has a heavy draw making it difficult to light the pilot, today the guy went through 4 to 6 pieces of wood, used a lighter or two, the flame would get sucked out, had to remove the spring loaded door, since otherwise it needs 2 people to do. Next time I talk to H&B Refrigeration, I'll mention what you said. Thanks.

The LED will last for decades. The electronics needed to make it function on mains AC, not quite so long. The GE LED lamps I bought have a 5 year warranty, My experience with CFL's is they last, though on LED's is YMMV. I looked for GE LED lamps at the Home Depot online, and found the cost that I paid is easily half off, I hope Staters gets some more 7w lamps in before the sale goes away, since $3.59ea instead of about $7.99ea is much better...

My short overweight friend makes a set of steps out of breeze blocks for those occasions. I don't have any cinder blocks handy, I wish I did, I just got done using the cooler near the sink in the kitchen, can't do that on the other side of the room, tried, won't work, see below. Fumble, Crash, break... Cleaned up all debris, changed Graces water... Grace needed clean water anyway. I'm now tired, I did find the cooler would withstand My weight, but I will need a new cooler if I do that too many times, so a heavy duty ladder will be required in the near future, to the tune of somewhere between $184(4') and $212(6'), lovely, but both have a 500lb weight rating, so there is not a lot of choice. I tried getting up on the cooler a 3rd time, and not near the kitchen counter where I found I could use one of My arms to pull Myself up, I found even with a Las Vegas NV 2006-2007 phone book(on the floor as a step), I could not get on top of the igloo legend 72 cooler of Mine, so a ladder it will be. But I got two CFL lamps(28w, 14w ea) replaced w/an LED lamp(9w, 850 lumens), lots of dusty cobwebs, yuck! The shade is now clean. But it works and looks like Daylight, and it's bright. Now I just need the pilot for the gas heater relit, the park knows, but Matt is absent I think. Otherwise the air in here will get cold again. So in a bit I'll head to the Post Office to pick up some plastic nuts for the rear bathroom ceiling lamp shade. My legs are tired, but otherwise everything is ok... Meanwhile the current temp is 51.6F, the predicted low is 28F, I think I'm going to make some lunch.

Shoulder blades since I was at least 40, Hips and elsewhere since I was at least 43. Today I felt terrible, I was so tired, maybe it was the effort at installing 6 LED lamps and 5 shades, 1 shade is awaiting some nuts that are down at the Post Office, I hope they fit too, plus there are 2 LED lamps for the gas range hood on the way, the last 2 LED lamps will be a beast to install, as the glass shades need cleaning. I'm hoping a Las Vegas NV phone book and a large igloo legend 72 cooler will allow Me to replace 2 cfl lamps, with 2 led lamps, without a ladder, the least would cost Me $183.96 for a 4' step ladder(Green Bull), a DeWalt 6' step ladder would be $211.89...

I have lived in Wisconsin for all of my almost 60 years on this planet. Times like this I wonder why.................LOL. Right now I have 8 crunchers going full bore, two 1500w space heaters on, and left the waterbed heater on all day so the kitties were comfortable. Meow. Boy the power company is going to love you on the next billing. I'm lucky here I don't have to pay anything but gas and that's cheap. I am on 'time of use' rates, so if I shut the heaters off during the day and try to run them just at night when I am home and the rates drop, it should not be too bad. Like maybe $700.00 instead of $450.00................. Ouch, here I'm having RAIN, for the desert, lots of RAIN, just so there is no Flash Flood. And to think I've mostly converted to LED lighting, a bunch of GE lamps at $3.59(7w 470 lumens 6) and at $3.99(9w 850 lumens 2), the 7w are bright(they're Soft White), yet almost have no temp, the lamps were on sale at the local Stater Bros Market(they'd been sitting there a while, wipe the top of each box, and I got black dust on My finger), sounded like a bargain @ $31.88 after 8% sales tax. They replaced 8 CFL lamps rated at 14w that I'd had since late 2006, the 9w'ers will be a bit tricky, since I may have to stand on a cooler to reach the ceiling in 2 spots(no working ladder at the moment), twice, once to take down the old lamps and dirty shades, install the 9w Daylight lamps, then again to install the cleaned up glass shades. I'm waiting on some replacement nuts for one of the shades($6.00 for 5, I'll have spare parts, wow...), as one nut is stripped, but then they're made of plastic. Plus for $5.98 there are two 4w LED lamps for the oven range hood coming in, and I still have not decided about the 2 external lights next to the doors... Maybe later.

I would want the 50/100/150. $23.99 is just a huge price to pay for that, though. I can still get the incandescent version for a buck or two. If I could see the math on it where the LED's longevity and lower power consumption makes sense, I'd go ahead and get it. I have a three way fluorescent in my bedside nightstand lamp. The bulb looks like a big B. I got it before compact fluorescents were being sold. I don't like those CFL's. They take a few seconds to "warm up". My problem is that I can't find a step ladder that I won't break, and that won't cost an arm and a leg, I looked at ones in the 450lb and 500lb capacity range on amazon, over $90.00 to as high as about $721.00... Since I have 2 light fixtures that are out of My reach, I'm 6'1" tall, and I still can't touch them, since the kitchen has a vaulted ceiling. I've got a few LED bulbs now, which were on sale, the other 4 fixtures I think I can reach, as the ceiling is lower, like near 7' in height. And yes I have a step ladder, a broken one, it used to be My Maternal Grandmother's. The CFL's that came with this place are 4" long, and is 14w, the 7w LED bulb that I wanted to use in My range hood is too big in length to fit within the cover, by maybe an inch. At least the cover is clean of any grease and is dry now. I did find an LED bulb for about $8 that should fit, and is meant for range hoods, it's not dimmable, but it's for a range hood, and I've never seen a hood with a dimmer switch. I can find step ladders in the 375lb range for as low as $88 in name brands, I found a step ladder in a 500lb rating for about $196 that is made by DeWalt and is 6' tall... I think I'll go lay down, since I didn't get much sleep last night, and I'm feeling a bit sleepy.

If I had a shorter sofa or a love seat, I'd eventually get one for the lamp on the living room end table, which is behind My semi broken sofa, since the lamp has a 3 way socket that I installed, I'd inherited that lamp from My Sister, it even has a night light function, neat really, the only problem is the lamp switch is really high up, the lamp needs a lower pedestal table or have the pedestal table shortened by about a foot, I'd repaired the table back in 2004, My Brother fell on it in 2003(He was hospitalized in 2004, He died in early 2005, emphysema & lung cancer, that went to His head, literally), so no one else wanted the table, thinking the table could not be repaired, this was child's play to repair, I just matched the piece that was broken, and I just made sure the new holes in the new part lined up with the old holes in the old part and the table was usable again. Make that 6 lamps, not 4, 7 if I were to include the one I can't reach anymore.

She has to have it plugged in all the time. I got her one last year, but it was a knock-off and a dud. I have heard about that all year. This should do her right. A new 2017 Maine Coon cat calendar. We both have taken delight in the last year's version, viewing another wonderful new kitty every month. I must admit, I shall enjoy it as much as she does. Nothing like a new Maine Coon kitty every month. A Rigid drill kit...........this may sound funny, but she has had mine hostage for so long, I though I would get her one of her own. It is a small kit, purrfect for her. She does have her projects. And something she shall never suspect......... She has had a problem with some bath fan switches. Wanting to have them turn off automatically after somebody triggers them. Well, this was not an easy find. I had to contact Pass and Seymour directly to see if they even made them. P/S is a very large company, and it took many emails back and forth to even get to the right division that could answer my question. And everything in Lori's house is 'light almond', and she is very particular about that. Well, they do, and I special ordered them through Meownards..........shipped directly from P/S to me. They sense the humidity and turn on and off as necessary. Not your average Christmas present, but she was really going on about it, and I listened. And of course, coming from me, they include installation.........LOL. Sounds good Mark.

Well, if you ever really intend to get Grace chipped, let me know and I would be very happy to do some research and make some phone calls for you. I know it's an extra expense, and one always hopes that kitty will not escape.

8838) Message boards : Cafe SETI : John Moffat he swordfish pilot who dropped the torpedo which crippled the Bismark, (Message 1835459) Posted 12 Dec 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The thing is that biplane design was obsolete at the time, but then again it was said that Bismarck's AA batteries were not able to track such a slow aircraft, so the rest is History, the Bismarck is laying on the side of an undersea volcano, of the shells fired against Her, only the 16" shells were doing much damage, the 14" shells were literally just bouncing off, since Bismarck was designed to repel shells of that size. I hope no one objects to this, I thought this would add some context to what John Moffat was up against, those were very dangerous times indeed. Just be glad the later designs, aka: the H Class from 1944 were not built(they were too big to be built where both both Bismarck and Tirpitz were built at, and the Kiel Canal was too small), as this last class would've had eight 20" main guns, and would have probably been almost invincible, with armor a lot thicker than anything seen before, but thankfully Germany went off half cocked, the war could have been much worse, more would have died. Another problem with the Bismarck design I read is the rudders were too close to each other, which is also why they were jammed in the last position. I looked for an example, as to how huge the H Class was, this pic illustrates this: (Germany)H 44 Class (never built, just a design exercise, which one I'm not sure) (US) Montana Class (never built, scrapped on the slip) (Germany)H 42 Class ? This drawing shows the relative size vs Bismarck... Note the Montana Class was to be 121' 2" Beam(max width at waterline), Yamato 121' 1".

Interesting that there are posts about this number at several other places but NOT at 800notes.com. 800 Notes is usually the first site I check of several web sites when looking up pesky phone number(s) since it has the LARGEST collection of reports about (un)known phone numbers.

The toll road was constructed by the Transportation Corridor Agencies, also known as the TCA, and is owned by the state of California. Construction was financed with bonds, which are repaid with toll revenues.

That's the good news. The Bad News is the Park had a change in Management, bad news for the last Manager, now the maintenance guy is the manager until further notice, for Me that's Good News, now the oral contract that I had with the former manager is no longer in effect(there were no witnesses, so I've always owned this place since 2006, legally), of course by CA law it would be expiring soon anyway, like at the end of Nov 2016, as the CA statute of limitations(section 339 of the CA legal code) says 2 years max, so I'm home free. I should be able to move this place whenever I can get the money, if I can that is, since the cost might be beyond My income for a Personal Loan, and I don't know of any lotto winners that could help Me get Me and My Home out of here, I know how to do this, I know who could do this, and I know where I could put My mobile home, on it's on land zoned for mobile homes.

To get the pilot lit, one has to open a spring loaded inspection hatch, and hold the regulator I think, in other words I need 3 hands. I'm in slight pain, My right hip dislocated in 2002, I have OA there now, when the air is cold I have problems walking and standing, plus I cough. Right now I'm sitting down.

As to a piece of paper, might be cheaper, but paper can go anywhere once lit, and how do I hold it? With My hand? No one I've seen has done that, usually it's some sort of wire based tool that holds a piece of paper, but I could not find that, so I found what I found. Tightly wound paper doesnt burn very quick and yuo make 20 inches long or more and hold on to the non burning end and hev atray of water underneath in case bits drop off. you could also use asmall piece of cotton wool dipped in lighter fluid on the end of a piece of wire. and yes all pilot lights have sensors, its a standard safety feature on gas appliances. And check that the rain hat on yuor flue pipe hasnt disapeared, backdraft down the flue pipe can blow out the pilot light the sensor then turns the main burner.off. The rain hat is still there, I have a peaked roof, so I can see a lot, My Coleman mobile home gas furnace looks similar to this one here, the vents are in the floor, as is the ductwork. My furnace still has the old A-coil inside it, since a/c used to be included.

As to a piece of paper, might be cheaper, but paper can go anywhere once lit, and how do I hold it? With My hand? No one I've seen has done that, usually it's some sort of wire based tool that holds a piece of paper, but I could not find that, so I found what I found.

No, someone probably could only get 35 out, that or someone called in a prank on Me, if there is no one at B35 or nothing at B35 now, since that side of the park has a bit less population than the A side.

Otherwise nothing is wrong with it, though if the power goes out, I will need to have the pilot relit, since Mine does not auto ignite the pilot flame. Can't you relight it yourself? I've tried, the furnace sucks in air and anything lit, gets snuffed out, I even bought a long lighter, that won't reach. My furnace is obsolete, replacement cost would be near $2,000.00, I was so disgusted with people saying one thing, that "they'd repair it", and then try and sell Me a new one instead, that I told most to get lost, as I saw it as bait and switch, that's dishonest, I did relent and get an estimate for $1,812.11, which was/is discounted from $2,000.00... And I don't have that much right now, that written estimate is for a 3 ton unit, this mobile home is a 1987 Fleetwood Westfield, Fleetwood, the factory that built My unit, went bankrupt in 2009, so there is no source of help or parts there, and the Fleetwood of today has no legal obligation to be of any help to Me. Just a couple of thoughts/questions... Is your furnace an "air heater" or a "water heater" type? The symptoms sound remarkably similar to those a friend suffered not too long ago with their hot air heating system. After a lot of time and many "repair" visits, replacing all sorts of bits the fault was tracked down to a pin-hole in the heat-exchanger that was blowing with great accuracy at the pilot flame, but only when the main flame was lit; the pilot light detector then turned the main flame off, and one couldn't easily re-light the pilot light.... The cost of a new heat-exchanger was more than the cost of a new furnace because, like yours, it was no longer in production. When the furnace was removed he took it to bits to see if he have repaired the heat-exchanger, only to find it was so thin on the flame side that it fell to bits. So it could be that those that have come to do a repair have inspected yours have found it to be in such a state as to render it beyond economic repair :-( Air. Actually no real tear the furnace apart type inspection was ever done, just a cursory look with a flashlight, one even noted the surface rust on the door, the rust is cause the swamp cooler is across from the furnace, the pilot has never gone out with the cooler on, though I'm told the pilot could go off with a loss of power, I dread when a rain storm approaches, as thunder/lightning usually comes along for the ride, as do power failures or brown outs. While this gas air furnace does the job, the furnace will stay on for 6 mins(the time on used to be around 15-18 mins, the newer dual pane vinyl windows did cut that down, plus new weatherstripping on the exterior doors, plus caulking some leaks that were not meant to be leaky walls, the home is 30 years old, so some of the energy efficiency had dropped off since 1987, like floor insulation(standard on a newly built mobile home, mine is largely missing), then shut off until the temp gets down to where I have the temp set at(about 70F-72F), then repeat, until I turn the furnace off at the thermostat, off in this case being the center position, heat below, and cool above, but then this system used to have whole house A/C, I never had that hooked up, since I was always quoted $2,000 to hook up the coils outside to the pipes already under the home, now the old coils are gone, if I ever move this place, I'd like to put in a ground source heat pump, which would update the system nicely, I'd still have a gas range, a gas water heater and a gas clothes dryer, though after solar is installed(which I can't do here), gas would make no sense anymore to Me.

Part IV (Message 1830038) Posted 12 Nov 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: [Rant]I'm scared the Trump administration will cut My meager benefits, currently I get $733 a month(in 2017, $735 per month, this is before the $156.40 per month in 2016, and $160.40 per month in 2017, the $160.40 might only last 6 months or it might be a permanent part of the SSP that California adds to My check(State Supplemental Payment, California is an expensive place to live at), Rep/House Speaker Paul Ryan(R-WI01) has wanted to cut SSI benefits in half since 2011, His successor as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is Tom Price(R-GA06), Tom Price wants to do the same thing as Ryan wanted to do in 2011, I did not and am not guilty of fraud, or waste, or abuse, I was judged to be permanently disabled due to My medical records and unable to work. SSI is a $45 Billion a year program meant for Seniors, the Blind, and Disabled People, plus SSI was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1972, and except for the Saving limit(1989, changed from $1,500 to $2,000, for couples from $2,500 to $3,000), the rest of the rules and limits have not changed since 1972. And I might add, I did not use a lawyer or an attorney to get SSI, the SSI program is very strict, if SSI was easy to get, then anyone could get SSI... I was at one time an Army Sharpshooter w/an honorable discharge, if it moved, I never missed(1 or 3 rounds, I also qualified on full auto too), if one was 600m(660 yards) away, killing one would have been really easy(I'm not a violent person, it was just that easy), I also shot at farther range, like 1200m(1320 yards, though that was a bit beyond the range of that round, like about 1 or 2 meters), but then I have concentration problems, which My Mom said was Tunnel Vision, She was right, I could do this with either side as I am ambidextrous. Oh and I do not own a weapon, it's just another thing to maintain that I clearly don't need or want. I only put this up as it serves as an example, oh and My Dad the WWII US Army Medic said He was proud of Me. Cutting peoples benefits is a bad thing, people need what they get, just cause one isn't working anymore, doesn't mean real life stops, back in 2011 the proposed amount was 50%, capping benefits, then making the reduced SSI into a Block Grant for the States to manage with no strings attached, most states wouldn't be able to manage the money and the recipients, some states would just terminate benefits and use the new grants to offset tax cuts for the rich, like the KOCH's. Some who are going to be a part of the new Trump Administration think people who get SSI, get $1,000.00 a month, I've never seen that amount come from the SSA, I wish I did get that much, what I do get is not really enough, if there are any cuts I could lose My ability to pay rent, and I'd be homeless, Grace would be back in a Shelter, and being almost 9 years old, would probably be put to sleep, some here wanted Me to get another cat. In 6 years I plan to file for Social Security when I'm 62, what will I get then? $236.00 a month until I'm 70, then I might get $295, in addition to My SSI, maybe then I could afford a newer car(mine will be 18 years old in 2017), but with cuts I don't know, I was hoping to move My mobile home, but to do that I have to have an income, and personal loans are not inexpensive, so I'd need every dollar to do so, yet with cuts, moving would be out of reach, I'd be lucky if I could pay My rent, then how would I eat or pay for repairs to My car, I don't get Food Stamps, no SSI recipient in California has ever received Food Stamps and gotten SSI, this has been like this since 1974, CA has had a policy called "Cash Out", all SSI recipients get $10 in lieu of Food Stamps every month and have since 1974, California passed a Resolution called AJR-35 which was sent to Congress to stop Cash Out for those who get SSI only for those who live alone, why to Congress? Cause the USDA said No last time, the USDA wants CA to do like other states do, California wants to do no harm and a waiver, the USDA would not play ball, do I think AJR-35 will do anything? Nope, it'll probably see a shredder before it gets voted on...[/Rant]

I've tried, the furnace sucks in air and anything lit, gets snuffed out, I even bought a long lighter, that won't reach. My furnace is obsolete, replacement cost would be near $2,000.00, I was so disgusted with people saying one thing, that "they'd repair it", and then try and sell Me a new one instead, that I told most to get lost, as I saw it as bait and switch, that's dishonest, I did relent and get an estimate for $1,812.11, which was/is discounted from $2,000.00... And I don't have that much right now, that written estimate is for a 3 ton unit, this mobile home is a 1987 Fleetwood Westfield, Fleetwood, the factory that built My unit, went bankrupt in 2009, so there is no source of help or parts there, and the Fleetwood of today has no legal obligation to be of any help to Me. I bought this home in late 2006, and My name has been the only person on the title, ever since then. I did get the taxes I pay reduced, from $205.30 a year to $80.30 a year, which means My home is now(for tax purposes) worth $14,500.00, before it was worth $27,000.00, the worth went down by $12,500.00, which is fine by Me, I just wish I could move this home to its own land, but that takes money. But I digress.

Here in the UK, railway tracks and stations are always fenced off, even in the remotest rural areas. That doesn't totally prevent fatal contact between trains and drivers/pedestrians, but it must help - at the expense of a much more cluttered and controlling local environment. I think the difference is that a certain proportion of the UK network is electrified third rail, you need to keep animals and people away from that. Else it is overhead catenaries or Diesel electric. The USA is so vast and much is so rural that fencing off every mile of railway would be simply uneconomic. THe UK is so much smaller, and landowners are perhaps more juristictional with the borders of their land, most certainly BR was. When I went to Pittsburgh in 2011 I was also amazed at the prolific unmanned gateless open crossings. But it is the way of the States, it is the normal environment there. Our crossings are more contolled, but we don't have 150 wagon oil trains overturning as they seem to have. Different cultures, different transport infrastructures. The LU Victoria line opened in 1968, and was and is (partly) operated using automatic train operation. But all trains carry drivers because of union insistence, passenger confidence, and human intervention in an emergency. Former LU employees have certain views. it's the least risky modes of transport which generate the biggest headlines when something does go wrong. Yes exactly, none the less tragic though. In Hesperia CA, the railroad got rid of at grade crossings, plus one crossing that went under the railroad row was closed to vehicles, water and pedestrians can still go thru the concrete lined crossing. Nearby in Daggett one can hear the horns blow on the BNSF/UP dual track grade crossing, so loud that in Yermo one can here the train horns at night, this crossing is about 3-4 miles away. Daggett CA could use an overpass(bridge) there, but so far that has not happened. BNSF Stacks with NS and DPU Power - Daggett, California(4 mins)

I'm not sure what you mean by "a thin layer of Crisco", so I'm not sure how your mom made the crust come out right with that. I'm glad you have such nice memories of your family members. As for the toothpick tip, that is a good one for cakes but not the best way to determine whether a custard pie, such as pumpkin, is done. With custard pies, you actually want to jiggle them a little. The center should still be a little wet, because residual heat will cook the pie through once you remove it from the oven. It is sort of the same idea as removing a roast or poultry from the oven and then letting it rest. In the resting time, the temperature continues to rise due to residual heat in the item being cooked. One spreads the crisco with a spatula, really thin, like so you can almost see thru to the pyrex pie plate, it's shortening, today you could call it margarine almost. See the pic of the can. Then sprinkle a thin layer of flour on that, then lay the prepared pie crust onto the plate, then the filling. I memorized how She did that, just like I did with riding a horse, by watching. And thanks Angela. The crisco and the flour keep the pie from sticking to the pie plate.

I called the repairman after checking the credit card online, I'm in go status for a launch. Well, it just sucks that all these vehicle services I'm behind on are all over $100 each... $119 for the Brake Fluid, and $150 each for the CVT and Coolant services... Hence, why I'm behind on these services. Oil changes aren't cheap for my Hybrid, either, but are manageable at $49 per service. Since I don't drive more than 7 K Miles in a year; I make sure to have my oil changed every year. ðŸ˜ƒ TL Mine with oil cost $63.19, but this included replacing 4 old Nippon Denso iridium sparkplugs with 4 Ford Motorcraft platinum sparkplugs, I've noticed a bit of hesitation in cooler weather with these platinum plugs, though as soon as the air warms up some, they perform perfectly, the iridiums ignored the weather, I'll eventually go back to the iridiums, but not right now, the gas heater is next, then for the car is a rubber valve cover gasket, that will be $106.99 installed, the cost would be more if I let Lube Express order the part from O'Reilly Auto Parts, instead of buying the part Myself, hopefully I can buy the gasket this month, since it's only $26.99 w/tax, the install will I hope happen after Xmas and before the 1st, that will stop the oil leak that I have. Not bad for a 130hp 2.0L DOHC zetec engine(30-32mpg) that on Jan 1st will be 18yrs old. I'd already bought the spark plugs and the Fram oil filter.

(Message 1828110) Posted 3 Nov 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Ang let's be honest... with amount of butter we're putting into these pie crusts there's zero chance of them getting soggy ;) I find custard pies, even those involving a high butter crust, to be tricky to get right. Custard is easily over-cooked and disgusting when that happens. I generally try to pre-bake the shell some. so that the bottom crust doesn't get too soggy, but then I run the risk of over-baking the shell's outer scalloped edge, no matter how much I try to protect it with aluminum foil or with a pie shield. If anybody has mastered the perfect pumpkin pie - crisp but not over-baked pie shell, non-burnt edges, softly baked pumpkin custard filling - please let me know. I tried the Cook's Illustrated recipe one Thanksgiving, but my guests were not impressed. C.I. uses brown sugar in the filling and the pie came out more brown than orange. The color was off-putting. Angela, My Mom used a thin layer of Crisco shortening, flour, home made pie crust, and canned filling, then the pie went into the oven until done, this was determined with a toothpick, if inserted and removed clean(just to tell if the pie was done, the toothpick was only in the pie for a second or so), the pie was done, if not, the pie went back in until done(minus the toothpick of course), in that exact order, I think the temp was set at 350F, that is what My Mom did, it came out perfect everytime, but then She majored in home economics She said. Yep that is from My memory, from about 45-50 years ago. Grandma Spafford(Tot) paid for My Mom, Aunt, and Uncle to go to Catholic high school in Texas, it helped, My grandma was a seamstress, I even have Her old model 1912 electric Singer sewing machine, though without a new electrical cord, the sewing machine is unsafe to use, though otherwise it does work perfectly.

Good Luck Vic! I have gone thru the kidney ultrasound.

So that's 2 more trips to Barstow CA for Me, that's roughly 48-52 miles of driving total. Just for high blood pressure, asthma and I don't know what else is being looked at. Today was 2 trips, a mad house. And thanks Lynn. Today I did manage to start paying down one of My 3 credit cards, the next step is the property tax refund from the county that is being sent My way soon, that should either pay off 1 card(the smallest) or I'd have 1 more added payment, then I can work on the next biggest, which might be paid off in March 2017, maybe. The last maybe in July, I redid My schedule some what to do that. I'm also waiting on the balance of one of My cards to show a certain balance, so that I can get the central gas heater here fixed, it's not been too warm here lately. And no I'm not talking about a water heater.

So, Vic. How is dear Grace doing today? Meow? She's doing ok, though sometimes She'll meow at Me, since She can't smell the food, so She thinks nothing is there on the counter top, so I pick Her up and gently toss Her on to the kitchen counter top, then She finds the food and eats.

I'm trying to schedule mine for the 28th of this month. (Medicare issues... Medicare allows a flu shot at one full year from the date of the last flu shot received... Last year, I got my shot on the 29th of October. Unfortunately, this year, the 29th falls on a Saturday.) I'm hoping Medicare won't be sticklers about 1 day early this year... TL [EDIT:] Good news; I was misinformed about how Medicare provides access for the flu shot. Now I'm being told that it's just one flu shot per flu season... So, assuming that's correct, I'll be going in on the 28th for my current shot. ðŸ˜ƒ TL This is a leap year, so the 28th is 365 days after the 29th of last year. Got my flu shot last week. I got mine a few days back, IEHP paid for flu the shot at Vons.

I had an oil change done and I had to replace the 4 sparkplugs, the car works normally now, one of the platinum motorcraft plugs had to be regapped, since one of the plugs had a problem, of course now I have to get a valve cover gasket for the '99 Escort zx2, as the current one leaks oil. I owe the Kyle at Lube Express $20.00. I have about 1/2 a quart of 5w30 oil left in the container, that will or should come in handy when the gasket is replaced. But the car works ok as it should, good thing I don't need to smog the car this year. I was going to go to get some lab work done like the Doctor asked, but work on My car came first, so I can't today.

One day I might get a newer car, electric maybe, though right now I wait, furnace first, then oil change and install 2 tires. 200 mile EV's, level 3 charging at 480v in about 30 mins, level 2 takes a lot longer, cooling the battery with liquid cooling like Ford does, seems better than what Nissan is doing in hot climates, like Texas, Arizona, and California. Some of this comes from Here.

Poor guy just wants to wrap himself up in a nice warm duvet for a bit but instead has to construct a flame thrower and use the "medicine" as fuel :( Fear not. Eric has an actual room in the house that serves as his man-cave. Only a room? I've got a whole mobilehome, and it's paid for in full, I'm the sole owner(100%) according to the San Bernardino County Tax Collector, I am also due a refund on My property taxes going back to 2014 and a new tax bill. The refund will be between $250.00 and $312.50, so instead of being worth $27,000.00($205.30yr) for property tax purposes, the mobilehome is now worth $14,500.00($80.30yr), a reduction of $12,500.00, since mobilehomes never go up in value, when does this refund and bill get here? I don't know, but I am mostly happy, but not for this, moving My mobilehome elsewhere will help. :) I was also recently approved for a lifeline account for My cell phone provider(Virgin Mobile), which will save Me $30.99 a month, I'm also applying for a Medical Baseline reduction in My Gas and Elec bills of another 20% off My bills this Monday or about $20-$25 a month that I don't have to spend on Energy bills. So yes, lots of good news for Me. Next month the central gas furnace is getting repaired, hopefully the repairs won't cost more than $117, I think I can support up to about $175, I'd like to get an oil change for My car, which needs one.

Poor idle & poor running at low revs can often be due to air leaks in the inlet manifold after the MAP/Air Flow sensor. If the fuel pump speed is variable then poor fuel pump function at lower pump speeds can also give similar poor behaviour. Before I had the two hoses replaced that go to the mass air sensor, I was having this problem, just not as much, the hoses were from some unknown donor car, the ends are not frayed like the old hoses were, since the right hoses, are not made anymore, by anyone, it's a 17 year old 2yr only car(1998-1999), soon to be 18... Yeah that could be, I've had fuel pump problems, the last was on a 1987 Mustang GT, hopefully that is replaceable, I can only ask. How well does the 2.0L engine idle? Pretty good.

The MSI ones seem to be priced higher, not sure if the brands have major differences. Well you at least found the brochure, that's better than I did. I like the MSI card cause of that plate that cools and is in contact with the ram and the mosfets(or whatever they're called), that plate is a large flat heatsink, the gpu though needs a larger heatsink to stay cool, so it seems like the ideal candidate to experiment on to Me.

Anandtech.com says the 1080 and 1070 are 256bit, and the 1060 is 192bit. All three 10x0 gpus are mentioned here along with a 960 for comparison. There was speculation before the 1060 was released, that the 1060 would have a 256bit interface, but sadly that was not to be, even arstechnica says 192bit. Me I was thinking about getting the 3GB version, which costs $224.99 on Amazon.com, before any sales tax is added, this card has Free shipping, for Me this card would be $242.99 total, this amount on amazon is subject to change, since sellers come and go.

Head-end pressure pulses can be used to assist the tunnel ventilation, but can in themselves be a source of noise at the ends. Also the tunnel itself can project noise generated inside for some distance beyond the tunnel mouth, obviously this can be reduced by some considerable margin by careful shaping of the tunnel approaches and (this may not work in very arid areas) suitable planting of trees and shrubs. Noise from trains is a fascinating subject.... From what I've read, the E series HST from Japan was designed to reduce tunnel noise, note the nose, like a birds beak. This came up in a search for an E7 series HS Train. Plus I've read in Japan they are making the tunnels bigger to deal with noise issues, seems like there is a wealth of knowledge there to be mined, 50 years worth.

Now HSR does make some noise, but I think it's mainly from the pantograph and the aerodynamic shape of the HST, the pantograph has small walls near the pantograph to reduce such noise.

I almost had a GF, but She found a man, She moved away with Him, and as soon as He gets a job, She has said She'll marry Him, I can't compete with someone else, I can be kind, understanding, humorous even, but He lived with Her, so I was at a distinct disadvantage, He may never get a job though, He's an ex-con, though He is friendly and I don't bear any grudge against Him, even though She did like Me, as did Her 4 Dogs. I can't live here forever, and I don't want to leave My home to the park, and to the neglect I've seen so much of here in other mobile homes...

It's what I can afford, I can't stand to pay anymore rent increases, not on My current income. $17,000 to maybe $35,000 is what I need to move and do setup on private property elsewhere, the 7405 sqft of land(see pic below($9,999.00)) would be $10,299 at most(includes closing costs, which could be paid by the seller($300.00)), the rest is disconnecting umbilicals(electricity, nat gas, water, sewer, phone, and cable), moving(My furniture and the home), and setup(which includes a new septic system, in addition to the other utilities), I've done this before, so I know the routine, I'd need 2 permits(building & utility installation from the paved street), any required for moving the contractor would get.

I'm afraid of losing My place, since I can't move it yet, though I do need to get it out of here, in to Adelanto CA on Joshua St near My nephews mobile home(the lot is near Koala Rd and El Mirage Rd), since My place was built in 1987 it may be too old and needs work on the outside(paint, new snow coat, 2 new exterior doors, 3 new dual pane vinyl windows, New skirting, New insulation under the floor, New steps to match the fiberglass steps at the backdoor, remove the water softener and the copper pipes, etc, etc... For private lot: Relocate swamp cooler to midway between living room window and kitchen window(side where front door is at), New concrete driveway, sidewalk and pad for existing foundation system, New chainlink fencing, driveway roll gate, plus backyard fencing and gates, gravel yard with overlapping fabric ground cover(red gravel, will supply a sample), plastic wood/metal carport(reusing metal roof from old carport awning, extended length, same for rear door awning, moved to front door).

If we have an incident, call 911 and call the nurse, get uninvolved kids away, don't move possible head/neck injuries unless there's a greater hazard. Heimlich for choking if you know how. If apparent anaphalaxis, ask if they have an epi-pen and want to use it. You did great with the incident last month. Also heard some general details about several kids who ate "Satan's Toe" a few weeks ago. It's candy with some sort of REALLY hot pepper extract in it. Ghost peppers or something worse. Possible head/neck injuries should not be moved without being secured to a backboard. I have a first aid merit badge.

FDR died in office during WWII in 1944, in His 4th term, oversaw the Manhattan Project, got lend lease going with the Brits against Hitler, got Congress to Declare War on Japan after being attacked by Imperial Japan and then on Nazi Germany after Hitler stupidly declared War on the US(an enemy neither could beat, but then the US and the UK were reading German coded messages thanks to people in Poland in 1939, and the US was reading the Japanese Purple code, We knew Germany's every order(the joke then was German Commanders should have called London for their orders, they could have gotten them quicker from London, than from their own Superiors), Berlin is lucky, if the war in Europe had gone on later into 1945(like June), Berlin would have been the 1st Target for the A-Bomb, not Hiroshima Japan), signed the Social Security Act into law in 1935, signed the FDIC into law, I'm sure there is more, beyond Glass-Steagall which He also signed, had people build Hoover Dam with Federal money, thereby creating jobs and the TVA, was the 1st Disabled POTUS/CIC. Was called a Traitor to His Class by Conservatives and Business Leaders according to dummies.com, I looked that up, though I did know He was called that, among other details, I researched WWII and such before arpanet was declassified to become the internet we know and use. Reagan cut taxes on the Rich, and taxed Social Security Retirees with incomes above $25,000.00 a year, got away with the Iran Contra Affair, oversaw the Berlin wall coming down(the Soviets were crippled by their immense military spending trying to keep up with the US, collapse would have happened to the USSR even without Reagan, Reagan did get the Salt Treaty signed, was the 1st Actor to become POTUS/CIC and to get Alzheimer's. Totally different Presidents. You can see FDR everytime you spend money, He's on the Dime, Reagan? Nope. Even JFK got on the Half Dollar, yes I know Reagan got a Nimitz class Carrier named after Him, which in a few years will be scrapped and replaced, though with what is another Question, since the Ford class is 3 ships so far, Ford, JFK and Enterprise.

Part IV (Message 1821672) Posted 4 Oct 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: Last time I moved this place, the assessor found out how much the cost was to do tear down, moving and setup, and added the total($7,000.00) to what I paid for the home($20,000.00), so for taxes My home is worth $27,000.00, not $20,000.00. Someone I guess thought that was an improvement, it wasn't, but so far I've not gotten anywhere in getting the taxable value reduced. And of course the company that did setup is unreachable, the phone number when dialed, always says to call back later, I call back and I get the same recording... Last time I talked to the guy in charge He was semi retired. Though good luck selling the place for more than $1, since last time I tried selling the home, I got a few people, all of which had no cash, sigh. Sure the earthquake resistant foundation system that was county mandated cost $1,500.00, but not $7,000.00 as that was the only new thing that was added back in late 2006. If the home was valued at $20,000 I'd only have to pay taxes on 1% of the $13,000.00 or $130.00+$5.30, for a total of $135.30. There is an automatic $7,000.00 exemption in the property taxes, plus $5.30 for some fee the county applies to everyone. I don't feel too good right now, something I ate... I drank some water, that should help.

Chase in Barstow now has only 2 human teller windows, Wells Fargo only has an ATM, their old location is boarded up, with a For Lease sign up, right next to the $0.99 cent store...

Ok I've never bought raw land before. I know about property tax, I pay that every year. I wonder can the cost of moving a mobile home be added to a property tax bill, in the form of added tax value?

Now I just have to eventually get the money after I know how much this will cost, oh I have a rough amount based on experience maybe as much as $25,000.00 total, the amount includes Me buying the land. But then I've been down this route before. I say this, since they called Me back, after I had called them. Now I do need a quote, plus I need the total cost of the land, which has been lowered in price a few times, the owners started at $12,000.00, is currently at $9,999.00, I know I'd need a building permit($300? The county charged Me $293 in 2006 as an example), pay sales tax on the land(8%), closing costs(3%?), plus I'll need a real estate agent to negotiate on the price, I'd like to get the 4,705sqft of land for $6,000... Unrealistic, maybe or maybe not, but then you never know.

I doubled most ingredients there, except for the onions, since they are flakes, I kept that at the original amount of a 1/2 cup, seems to work better, I used two 15oz cans chicken instead of the chicken breasts, cooked that in the microwave for 12 mins, why 12? Light and dark chicken chunks, better to be cautious, My microwave oven is 900w, then I drained the chicken of the excess water cooked the mushrooms, condensed cream of chicken soup(PSST brand, I'm on a budget, I used 2 cans, so I added 2 cans of water too), sour cream, margarine, onions until the mushrooms were tender enough to cut with a fork or spoon, while I was doing all that I cooked 16 oz of noodles in 4 quarts of boiling water until tender, drained the noodles, put the noodles back in the 5 quart pan, added the drained chicken to the noodles, then added the chicken sauce, stirred and served, It's not bad, better than last time, but then I used half as much of the onions as I did before. http://www.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/easy-chicken-stroganoff-24443

I suspect Filmation made the cel with the "additional voices" credit and didn't want to waste money making a variant of it. It was a low budget show, so yeah. The 1966 Enterprise(NCC-1701, no bloody A, B, C, or D) is at the Air and Space Museum, in DC in all Her restored glory, they showed Her before being restored, being 50 years old(it's been that long, wow!), cracks and all, now instead of incandescent lights, there are LEDs inside Her(they were worried the old girl might catch fire being made of 50 year old wood), paint was flaking off, a reel mess. There is even an exhibit somewhere with Kirks chair, the console(where Sulu and Chekov sat, after being restored, I think the bridge exhibit is also where the Enterprise is at) and one of only 2 phasers in existence, the Universal Translator however is lost, either it was thrown away like most props were when the show was canceled or someone has it...

Part IV (Message 1820102) Posted 27 Sep 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: My latest attempt at finding a mover for the Home and Me for the near future is still going no where, I looked up the distance from Hemet CA to Yermo CA, one way 119.3 miles, that could be why I can't get a hold of the company, that or the owner is really busy and I've not called His cell phone yet. I think I have a dealer in the Victorville CA area, who may know of someone who moves, does tear down, and setup of a mobile home, Victorville is only 45 miles away, got a number, that might work or that might not, I tried looking in the local phone book, and I found nothing useful. If I had a Victorville phone book it might be different, but I don't. I really don't like living here as much as I used to, this park used to be a nice place to live at, and that is not just My opinion of how low the park has sunk, one of My friends is of that opinion too. The word slumlord has been mentioned by others here in the park, the park is being sued. I can't afford $600.00 rent per month, and buying most mobile homes that are on their own land requires a good sized down payment($17,000.00 on a $74,900.00 price would be within a range that I could pay, like $331 a month), over 8 years(gathering $17,000.00 over 8yrs, in theory), I'll be lucky if the park here is still running in 2 or 3 years, I'm lucky that no one has stolen My car, I see finger prints on the drivers side, clean the dust off, more show up. The broken window on the washroom is still boarded up after nearly 1 year, empty mobile homes still have boarded up windows and/or broken windows, except for a street light that the park does not control, all other lights the park controls are off at night. The washroom is where 2 coin operated clothes washers and 2 dryers are at, there used to be 2 vending machines there, first one machine was robbed, then one was withdrawn, then the last was withdrawn, all the dryer vents except one have been broken off. So land in Adelanto CA is My only answer, I looked at section 8 housing and found I was not given any consideration for being disabled, nor any info on storage, just a 1 bedroom apartment, no word on if it was on the ground floor or not, or where I could park My car at(hopefully close by) and have it be secure, I don't have theft coverage on My car, as that is expensive for Me. Buying the land, once I have the money, sometime in 2018, maybe, should be no problem, its a real estate transaction, I just need a mover and not a simple transport company, the net is all I have, and searches gives apartments as dealers, parks as dealers or as a mover. I can't find much, lots of information, but nothing usable...

I think I found a company that could maybe move this place, and maybe with the contents too, except breakables would have to go in a separate truck, yeah I called, I'm hoping that I can do this for less than $17,000.00 total. I still have not found any loan to do this with, I may have to do this on My own, but that means a 6 year wait. This would only be after the cards are all paid down in or near May 2018(Nov2016-May/June2018 or 1 year 7-8 months), starting with the smallest. I could get My sister in law to help setup a special needs trust, where the trust would buy the land, buy My mobile home, move My belongings and the mobile home to the new location, then transfer the mobile home and land to Me, I could afford that, the details I have in My mind, I just want to keep them to Myself for the moment, but then things could change quickly. Since I still can't find any loan that would lend Me anything for this...

No I'm 56, I'm 3 years older than My older Sister was when She passed away, My Brother was 61, My Grandpa lived until He was 82, He was as healthy as a horse... I cared for My Mom, for longer than most, She didn't have the income to live on Her own, at best I kept Her from becoming homeless, up until She retired, She smoked a lot and drank a little, afterwards, She drank more and more, inside was some hate(My Brother brought home a gift of plates from Japan, as soon as Mom found out that the microwave oven was pitting and chipping those dishes, She wanted Me to use the microwave to keep on damaging them, the chopsticks She hated, turns out She wished everyone and everything was molten slag, She wanted every Japanese City nuked, I kid you not). My Brother and I lived together from 1998 up until early 2004, when We found out that He had lung cancer in addition to the emphysema, We think He'd been hiding the cancer since 2000, He got an O2 tank then, and was going to see an oncologist, He swore Me to secrecy on that, after He died I was no longer bound by My promise, and I told everyone what I knew, I'd stayed out in the car, since the place My Brother went to was the same place My Mom went to, I did not want to repeat that, I did get Him to quit smoking, although I think He did too, He wanted to buy a 5th wheel trailer and with His GMC pickup have Him and Me travel around the country visiting the national parks, sadly that never happened, the house He lived in was supposed to have My name on it with His, but time and His family killed that idea, I'd given up My house to get Him His last house. The cancer went from His lungs to His brain, He lasted until May 2005, He was taken care of by His ex and Her/His 3 grown children 24/7, in Her living room in a hospital bed, a Nurse came by once a week until He died, I could not be there at the end, since I only had enough income then for 1 visit per month. I am essentially the last Mohican. :(

In the United States, BVO was designated in 1958, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS),[2] but this was withdrawn by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1970.[3] The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations currently imposes restrictions on the use of BVO as a food additive in the United States, limiting the concentration to 15 ppm,[4] limiting the amount of free fatty acids to 2.5 percent, and limiting the iodine value to 16.[5] BVO is used in Mountain Dew, manufactured by PepsiCo;[6] Powerade, Fanta Orange and Fresca made by Coca-Cola; and Squirt, Sun Drop and Sunkist Peach Soda, made by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group.[7] Numerous generic citrus sodas also use it, including "Clover Valley"/Dollar General sodas and Stars & Stripes.[citation needed] On May 5, 2014, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo said they will remove BVO from their products. [snip] Health effects The United States Food and Drug Administration considers BVO to be safe for use as a food additive.[5] However, there are case reports of adverse effects associated with excessive consumption of BVO-containing products. One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride.[15] In the two months it took to correctly diagnose the problem, the patient also lost the ability to walk. Eventually, bromism was diagnosed and hemodialysis was prescribed which resulted in a reversal of the disorder. [snip] An online petition at Change.org asking PepsiCo to stop adding BVO to Gatorade and other products collected over 200,000 signatures by January 2013.[7] The petition pointed out that since Gatorade is sold in countries where BVO is not approved, there is already an existing formulation without this ingredient. PepsiCo announced in January 2013, that it would no longer use BVO in Gatorade,[6][17] and announced May 5, 2014,[18] that it would discontinue use in all of its drinks, including Mountain Dew, however, as of July 26th, 2016, BVO is still an ingredient in Mountain Dew. So much for removing BVO, the FDA needs to order PepsiCo to remove this as it's not approved as an ingredient.

The 2 friends did get accommodations elsewhere of course, the manager there is going out and buying a New Refridge for the mobilehome(He manages 2 parks these days), on Monday My 2 friends will get the keys from the manager at the new park, the manager there, was at one time the manager here, He made sure everything was transparent on a whiteboard, the 2 are going to be 9.2 miles from where I live. I know this, as I drove them where they wanted to go, they have no car yet. The place My 2 friends are leaving has old fragile glass in the windows, that in some places has wood in place of glass, a hole around the swamp cooler(needs flashing, framing, drywall and insulation to keep the rain and weather out), one window that is boarded up, a sliding door that is hard to open and close and can only be locked from the inside(for months they had to use a chain to lock the sliding glass door). Moving My place is something I want to do in 2019, but how do I get the money on My limited income to do that? Moving a mobile home is $10 a mile, the move would be 55-80 miles, depending on the route taken. I can probably pay for the moving part, but the land, tear down, and setup? That could be a problem. Yes I found a place that could move the place, plus do tear down and setup. I found one place does land loans, but I don't need $50,000.00 and being the terms are 1-5 years, could be expensive, I just need $17,000.00 to $25,000.00 to buy the land, do tear down here, to move(Me and the mobile home), and to do setup at the new location, the land at the new location I feel I could get for $6,300.00(seller wants $9,999.00, there are 2 lots at this price, both have been sitting unsold for years), since it's bare raw land(It's flat or nearly and has been graded already, also there are people living next door), the utilities are all out in the street(Electric, NatGas, Water, and Cable, landline is there too, but I'm not interested in that), this is probably My best and maybe only shot at getting out of here, I don't want to walk away from My mobile home.

I'm sure they have dealt with melting charging cord problem. A 10 gauge cord should work with 230-240vac, even at 32 Amps. FCA, GM, Ford, Volkswagen, and BMW use one plug, while Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi uses another, and Tesla uses a 3rd one I read, for EV's there is a level 2 charging station at Mojave Nissan, hopefully it's Bolt compatible, charging is 9.5 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_station#Feud I have no idea who FCA is. Me I'd need some work done to My roof(a new snow coat) and remove any useless flashing and swab some snowcoat into the crack between the edge of the roof and the carport mounting bracket to keep any rain off any outlet where I park the car at, since part of the 240v charger circuit would need to be installed into the wall. But I'd not have to worry about a smog check anymore, among other things.

Parsley was an optional item, so I didn't bother buying that. If you omit all these things, how do you end up with Beef Stroganoff? ;-) I have enough left over for another batch, but without the onions and mushrooms, the onions I have plenty of, but being flakes I wrongly used a cup full, should have used maybe 1/3 of a cup, stuffs potent, and I don't have another 8oz of mushrooms. ~~The container of flaked onions I think I'll give to an acquaintance who likes onions~~. Right now I think I need a nap. Ok I have enough onion flakes left, I found out in another recipe that 1/2 cup would equal a medium onion, I used twice that much in the last batch, I could taste and smell onions for a day or two, I said they were potent. Mushrooms, yeah I don't have any left, I'd only bought enough for 1 batch, a second batch could substitute chicken for beef, mushrooms and beef bouillon would then not be needed.. But then I'd need a couple cans of condensed cream of chicken soup, I do have 3 cans of condensed vegetable soup though, not sure what I'll do with that, outside of eat it.

I just watched the 2nd Animated from last week (and still have the 2 from this week). I was not much impressed with the 1st one, "Beyond the Farthest Star," but I really like the 2nd, "Yesteryear." It filled in a lot of holes in my knowledge, especially some necessary back story for novels I read years ago. Now I know about Spock's sehlat, Ichaya. It also got me guessing at who did the various voices. Amanda was obviously Majel Barrett. A couple of others were obviously James Doohan. But I really thought Sarek was Mark Lenard, until he wasn't listed in the credits. Was it George Takei? And what about the Vulcan children, including Spock? Hmm, I wonder if imdb has these details... Okay, it says Sarek was Lenard, uncredited. It also lists Billy Simpson as Young Spock and Keith Sutherland as Young Sepek, both uncredited. And it lists Doohan as 7 voices total. It also gives Takei and Nichelle Nichols "(credit only)" for Sulu and Uhura. Doohan voiced the healer in Yesteryear. Doohan, Barrett and Nichols did MANY of the Animated Series' voices. Takei did several voices throughout the series; but, not as many as Doohan and Barrett. TL Now of the 22 episodes, 16 are from the "1st season", the final 6 were I read ordered for the "2nd season", Chekov(Walter Koenig) wasn't in the series cause the budget could not afford Him, but He contributed in writing an episode, the Infinite Vulcan, so two characters Lt. Arex(Doohan) and Lt. M'Ress(Majel Barrett) replaced Chekov on the bridge, from what I read the animated series is the 4th season of Star Trek that the fans wanted, it's too bad there were so few episodes made then of course, I'm lucky that I have them, as is TL with His being on, 11 VHS Tapes.

One of the best programs I have every had. I even had a mild heat/dehydration event from riding in 110f temps. They were wonderful. Call the IEHP 24-Hour Nurse Advice Line 1-888-244-IEHP (4347) They will likely tell you to go to ER. If they tell you too then the rest of the paperwork can follow without any problems. I already called that number, since no one is listening, maybe I should use ALL CAPS???

Waiting five weeks for what could be a severe medical condition is just plain..... I'm changing Doctors, so going to the ER will upset things at IEHP, maybe y'all don't think going to the ER matters, I was asked have you gone to the ER recently? I said No And that would I would mean I may not be able to see the Doctor until almost November, if go to the ER, I might be able to the ER on Oct 1st when the new Doc is My Doc, IEHP is paying for the Doctors appointment via Medi-Cal(Medicaid in the other 49 states). Barstow CA is a small town, population of 23,498 people in 2014.

IEHP - Barstow, CA 2 Family Doctors and 1 Internal Medicine(heart & lungs I gather), those are the only ones in Barstow CA who accept IEHP. IEHP = Inland Empire Health Plan Medi-Cal None... I do need to go to the New Docs office and pick up some forms, but until the Doctor there is My Primary Care Physician, I can't do more than make an appointment at the moment, which I have done. The forms I have to fill out before My appointment, I can do that before the 17th. Yes, I'm feeling ok, I've had some pain, but no blood. The form is a Medical Baseline Allowance Application, the form is from SCE, I've filled out the front, but not dated the form, the backside is for a Medical Doctor(MD) or a Doctor of Osteopathy(OD) to fill out. Yesterday I scanned this SCE form into the PC on both sides, and made sure that the pics would print out as Letter size, so yeah I could make more, though they would take up 2 pages and not 1 like on the original, since I do not have any inkjet type printer, just a dot matrix printer. SCE = Southern California Edison

I'm sure your friends will understand you cancelling the trip to Barstow if you're in the hospital. If you recall, a month or so after my kidney stones four years ago, I went back to the ER because I was weak and could barely breathe or walk. Turned out I was anemic from blood loss. They gave me four units of blood. (BTW, I've been having pains recently in the same kidney. Probably another stone.) I'm not having any blood loss at the moment, that doesn't happen by itself here, if I were it would be very painful, and that is when I have blood loss.

Parsley was an optional item, so I didn't bother buying that. I have enough left over for another batch, but without the onions and mushrooms, the onions I have plenty of, but being flakes I wrongly used a cup full, should have used maybe 1/3 of a cup, stuffs potent, and I don't have another 8oz of mushrooms. The container of flaked onions I think I'll give to an acquaintance who likes onions. Right now I think I need a nap.

On Youtube, if you ignore the voices being, different, then there is a 6 chapter episode made that's entitled "Ptolemy Wept", which I gather been online since 2011, which so far has not been taken down, for what reason, I do not know. One of the co-stars is 5066 years of age and is very human.

The 50th anniversary of Star Trek is almost here. Well, the official date. The original series premiered on September 8, 1966. But the world has been celebrating throughout 2016 â€” and that will continue through 2017 with the new series and upcoming cruise. As we are the home of The Original Series, which airs weekly as part of Super Sci-Fi Saturday Night, MeTV is celebrating with two special broadcasts on Saturday, September 10. First, at 9PM \| 8C, we will air the first broadcast episode of Star Trek, "The Man Trap," in its regular time slot. Stay tuned afterward at 10PM \| 9C for a very special episode of Svengoolie, in which the beloved horror host will present the rarely aired original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage." -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ MeTV is an OTA (Over The Air) TV station carried on a Digital sub-channel (example 21.2 here in the DFW metro area). It is ALSO carried on SOME CABLE TV systems and MOST AT&T UVerse IPTV/"Cable" system on Ch 136/1136. Where to Watch MeTV MeTV also shows one episode of the ORIGINAL Star Trek series EVERY Saturday Evening at 9PM Eastern/8 PM Central. I get MeTV here, as a Digital station on a Satellite TV UHF Translator, all the channels there are in SD only, DishTV charges the County of San Bernardino $3,000.00 a month for this, for that there are either 11 channels or maybe 12 now, there has been 12 channel capacity for years of course.

And yes I too like Chocolate. My internet speeds are greatly reduced, TWC is coming out on Tuesday to fix this problem, like 2.1K, instead of 30/5M that I'm paying for. ahhhhhhhhh, our net download speed varies from about 50 to 150 MB/sec depending on if I'm thru a router or wired direct. But, it costs us an arm and a leg, like about $82/month thru Cox Cable. let's face it, if we HAVE to HAVE a vice, liking CHOCOLATE isn't all that bad. :) The fact that there's a HIGHWAY TO HELL and only a STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers! I think I solved My problem, it might be a Firefox browser extension that I downloaded, Better Privacy, this worked for 2 days, then My troubles began, but only on Firefox, instead I'm using Hitman Pro to get rid of the dreaded tracking cookies. As to the cost, well TWC(soon to be Spectrum, lovely, now where is Captain Scarlet. ;) ) has Me on a retention's package I think, of $109.68 per month, I get Cable TV in HD and 30/5 to 37/6 internet for that amount, up to a year, plus I'm being billed up to a year at 20/2 speeds cause of the upgrades that are going on, plus the poor performance the area has had, the 30/5 is the Extreme package, 20/2 is Turbo, the modem is a Black Arris 6183 which is capable of about 300/20M to maybe 325/25M, the modem cost Me $55.00 when I'd bought it some time back from a seller in China, the area was being upgraded to Maxx speed before Spectrum came around, now, no one knows for sure, some areas will get the upgrades, others maybe, We'll have to see.

Yeah there were two building permits issued, one for temp structures and one that said "Water Tank" and nothing else, the 2nd one must be the building permit. I don't know if this will affect this side of the fwy or not, if it will, then that could mean the wells are getting near a limit, or something. In any case Tuesday is shot, I'm staying until TWC gets done. Last time I called I got a small discount on My bill.

Jumping like in an Einstein-Rosen bridge, from A to B, seems to be the path to take.

As to cars, Ford has a problem with the 2005-2006 Mustang, if one stores the car outside in freezing or sub freezing temps, plus runs the car once or twice a week, the master power relay will eat the battery, this was fixed in 2007 I was told, after the fact, when I owned a 2006 the dealer would haul the car in, charge battery, then I'd go home, I only learned the dealer didn't like the fact that I owned a new 2006 Mustang GT, they wanted to buy it back I was told, of course it would have helped if they had been honest about that, but they weren't, a few years later, the dealers in the area changed hands and that was that, I still can't buy a used car, much less a new one, I'd need too much for a down payment, and that's a problem that needs action from Congress, but that seems like that won't happen, not in My lifetime at least.

I think I could benefit more financially in the long run from that $19,500 cash with a wise money advisor. But again, I think the concept of solar power is a win-win for everyone when the technology improves so most people can look at it and say, yeah, that makes sense." Hi Gordon, We did not have $19,500 cash to spend, far from it. We did a "zero down" thing. 30% of the total price was covered by a refund from the IRS at tax time. The remainder, or 70%, was financed for 12 years at 3.99%. If we would have had cash so as not to need a loan, I'm sure we could have gotten a better than 3.99% return on that large a sum. :) BUT, if we invested the $19,500 cash, assuming we had it, we would still be paying about $2184/year for electricity from SDG&E instead of the $378 we pay now for electricity. Maybe I should get an estimate on the cost of setting this up on my house. I would pay 100% cash, but I just have a feeling with my electric bills topping out around $1,200/year at $.08 per kWh, the system is still too expensive to make sense(at least in my case). But, if your system produces more than you can use then you'll wind up being paid for all that excess power being fed back into the grid, well that's what happens over here anyway (quicker payoff time and then income). Just some food for thought. ;-) Cheers. Good point, Wiggo. I may have to look harder into this. Last I heard and this may apply only in CA, is that any excess electricity made is given to the utility, they don't pay rate payers here, not yet. If this is no longer true, I'd like to know. No matter what, I'd need to reroof the place at a new location, since Fleetwood put a metal peaked roof on the mobile home, but the metal was laid directly on the roof trusses/rafters, I have both since the living room and kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, so first plywood or waferboard would be installed over the existing roof, then a new metal roof would be installed on top of that.

LAO Report Predicts $11.5B Surplus for FY 2016-2017 Hmmmm. Surely you jest, kind Sir? As I understand it, all that surplus has already been allocated to other uses and can't be touched? IMHO, The state asks its residents to pay extra $$ to improve the roads and help school children. How can you deny "the kids?" or having "good roads?" :) They do this every year, They put those $$ in the "General Fund." They then "borrow" from what kind hearted residents have paid xtra and use it on other things, like welfare for illegals. If California has so much of a usable surplus, why do they ask for MORE every year? Why not just give all residents a REFUND? <giggles> Fat chance, huh? People are conserving and using less gasoline, so what does the state want to do? Increase the gasoline tax to make up for the fewer $$ it receives in gas taxes. :) Geez? Is there no end to this madness? Stay here on Earth. It's the only planet with DARK CHOCOLATE !! The 1996 Welfare reform Act says Citizens and legal resident aliens only, no undocumented immigrants get any welfare, go look it up, you know they are called search engines for a reason. The SSA states this on their website, though they don't give the reason behind it, the SSA expects people can look it up. Why? I get $733 a month, I live below the Federal poverty line, CA gives Me another $156.40, I'm going to get a COLA again after having the state budget balanced on My back(and the other 1.3 million SSI/SSP recipients in CA), oh and the COLA (Cost Of Living Adjustment), was going to be $70 a month in 2017 to bring 1.3 million people in CA up to 96% of the Federal Poverty Line in AB-1584, and to 100% in 2018 and thereafter, but the bill was amended in the CA Sen Appropriations Committee to a measly COLA, the 2016 budget grants a $4 bump in the SSP (State Supplemental Payment) from $156.40 to $160.40 a month. $889.40 means I have to choose what to spend money on, do I buy oil or go into debt and get a tuneup, I choose the oil for the oil change My car needs, in Nov I get to try and fix My mobile home's gas furnace, that should be about $120, that's a guess. Fixing the furnace will cost $70 an hour, that's the trip charge, I live 12 miles from Barstow CA, in Dec I pay property taxes too, $102.65. Edit: I live at 90% of the FPL which in 2016 is $11,880 a year. Cause the surplus is not constant, if it was then there would be no surplus.

I also didn't use sharp cheddar, I could only fine regular, so instead of 2 cups, I used 4 cups. Macaroni and cheese w/salmon, yes there is lots more in the pan.

My father-in-law's favorite place in California is Morro Bay. He makes a pilgrimage there every time my in-laws visit California. The picture of Bunny feeding the squirrel is lovely! Thank you for sharing that beautiful family photo. One of "my" squirrels is almost that friendly. He comes up to the back door and waits for me to open it and toss him a few peanuts. He could probably be hand-trained, but frankly, I'm the one holding back on that. I've done the pre-rabies vaccination series and I'm up to date on my boosters, so that's not my primary worry. Squirrels have vermin, carry the plague and can be a pound of h*ll when they get upset, so I'm not really anxious to get too close. I knew it, squirrels are Nuts.

Macaroni and cheese â€œIâ€™m pretty sure the Americans invented this a long time ago,â€ says Cesarato. In Italy, however, there are strict rules about which sauces you serve with specific pastas - depending on their texture and shape. Macaroni ('Maccheroni' in Italian), for instance, is typically served with ragÃ¹ or a tomato sauce. The closest Italian dish to macaroni and cheese that Cesarato can think of is â€œpasta pasticciataâ€, where you mix left-over pasta with bÃ©chamel and bake it in the oven. â€œBut itâ€™s not the same, and weâ€™d never go out of our way to cook that.â€ Well, my grandma did something like that with spaghetti instead... Spaghetti is easy, there I just need: Meat, Sauce, Spaghetti, and Cheese, I had to buy lots of small ingredients for the macaroni, since this is not the packaged type.

I just had a sandwich, too tired. In the morning I get to drive two friends to U-Haul, they're moving out of the Park. :( I was told they'd still contact Me, when they need My help to drive them somewhere. I'll be told where they are moving to, the Park won't fix the place they are currently in, which leaks like a sieve and lets water in when it rains, winter cold would be worse, and the park wants them to rent a place that is in even worse than the one they are in I was told, they've been promised over and over again, yet nothing has happened. The refrigerator in their current place doesn't even have shelves in it, though the refrigerator does have slots for shelf brackets, and would be an easy fix, even I could do that, that and some clear plexiglass. I'm wondering if the Park is even going to be here, in operation in a few years. If they close they'd have to move Me and My mobile home somewhere I could afford, that's what state law supposedly says, like on to private land, My place is a fixer, as such no park would take this place, plus I can't afford space rent that higher than $320 a month, I know of some land in Adelanto CA that is zoned for mobile homes, My nephew the semi-truck driver lives there. Technically He could move My place, in theory, but that is all He could do, setup and tear down He's not trained to do. It's fairly tight in here, plus it's a bit longer than a 53' foot trailer and almost double the width, 13.5' vs 8.0' I think, plus it's My home. No I've never asked Him to do that, He'd need to be insured to do that and own His own semi-truck. Yes I have all the axles, tires and the hitch under the place, not to mention the foundation system for the mobile home, 2 sets of steps, 3 sets of awnings, a window a/c unit, and a swamp cooler to remove and move and reinstall.

I don't know, but I do know a friend who has 3 Saturn's, one He is selling to a friend, that had a bad tranny, all the friend had to do is swap in a good tranny for the bad one, and the car is worth more than the $600 that the car cost Him. He'd bought the car for parts at one point, I can call Him after 5pm and ask. One He drives, and the other He is fixing to sell.

But I'm quite certain it's people living in more urban places than you do who complains the most about gas/petrol prizes. At very least in my country. Today it seems unpossible that a kid have to walk a mile to school! Oops getting political here... From what I know of Los Angeles County CA, as an example, they have lots of trains and buses, of course people there are increasing their ridership of the light rail and subway lines there, they even have a light rail line that connects inland areas to the beach in far off Santa Monica, also Measure M is going to be on the ballot, which if passed would add 0.05 cents on to the local sales tax to raise $140 Billion for more rail expansion through out the county, I'm hoping the measure passes. I just wish I could live there again. As to walking a mile to school, I did at least that much walking twice a day, going from 26002 Vianna St to Eshelman Av along Pacific Coast Hwy, all by Myself, from the 1st grade(6yrs) to the 3rd grade(8yrs), from 26002 Viana St to Eshelman Ave Elementary School is exactly 1 mile according to Bing, both are in Lomita CA. I even had a key to the house My Dad rented back in the 1960's.

Yeah, it comes down to ignorance, denial and suspicion of what they don't understand, I have 3 friends, who subscribe to the 'chemtrails' garbage, to them a Jet engine does not suck anything in(tell that to guys on a carrier deck who've seen people sucked into a jet engine cause they got too close, I've seen that online, that can't be faked, who'd want to?), nor is it cold up at altitude to them, nor is there ice crystals up there...

Read the last few paragraphs of a speech he gave at the council on foreign relations at the end of June this year. This link is to the CIA's own website, not some conspiracy group. But the CIA could be considered a conspiracy group? It's a Myth, those trails were spotted being made by WWII B-17 Bombers, cause they melted ice crystals at high altitude, jets do the same thing, once past the hot engine they freeze again into ice, the air is so thin above 30,000 feet that people in non pressurized planes like the B17 used oxygen masks to keep from passing out, that and insulated clothes.

AB1584 passed in the Senate on Thorsday 38-0, and is enroute back to the Assembly for a concurrence vote on the amended bill (a formality, passed in the Assembly originally at 76-0), then to the Govs desk, then the COLAs will drip on beyond the 2017 budget bill. Oh and AJR-35 passed, 1.3 Million People might be getting SNAP benefits, all thanks to a call that I made, or should I say sales pitch, AJR-35 passed 80-0 in the Assembly and passed 37-0 with 2 not voting in the State Senate, this is off to Congress and the USDA, the CA Cash Out policy in CA might finally be ending.

When it failed the second time, he said he couldn't see very well, and sent the scammer a picture of his credit card.

She's not a captain but a Lt. Commander "with caveats" (whatever that means) - The series shall center around an event referenced in TOS - Will probably have more aliens in the cast than the other ST series - There shall be robots - Spocks mother may be featured but will not be central - The cast shall also feature both a male and a female admiral, a klingon captain, a male advisor and a british male doctor - The first season will have 13 episodes which will be serialized but also feature closed end stories. - The series will air in the US on CBS All Access (with commercials; ~12 min/h), in Canada on Bell Media and on Netflix in the rest of the world.

The Esso name was a trademark of Jersey Standard Oil, and attracted protests from other Standard Oil spinoffs because of its phonetic similarity to the acronym of the name of the parent company, Standard Oil. As a result, Jersey Standard was restricted from using Esso in the U.S., except in those states awarded to it in the 1911 Standard Oil antitrust settlement. In states where it was restricted from using the Esso name, the company marketed under the Humble or Enco brands. The Humble brand was used at Texas stations for decades, as those operations were under the direction of Jersey Standard affiliate Humble Oil & Refining Company. In the middle to late 1950s, use of the Humble brand spread to other southwestern states, including Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon Officially the name on the tanker is: Exxon Valdez.

If it is welded, and they have to drop the bottom of the transmission to get at the filters expect a VERY big bill, much more than the $quoted - $20 labour will only cover s simple drain and refill, not the clean/replace of the filters :-( As to dropping the tranny and stuff, except for the cost, I have no disagreement there. $80 is for a tune up(I just called Lube Express, I've been a customer there in the past, higher than I thought, but not by a lot, only cause I already have the plugs and a k&n air filter), the tune up would include stuff like plug wires, $20 is for an oil change, $41-54 Royal Purple 5qts of 5w30 synthetic motor oil, $140 to have the transmission fluid changed(is what I was quoted).

9868) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Automobile transmission problem (Message 1807509) Posted 6 Aug 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: The symptoms MIGHT be a transmission problem, particularly if the fluid and filters have never been changed, but I would be looking at engine related issues first. If the fluid is low then you can, on some transmissions, get a stall when sitting in gear with the brakes on, also if the filters are dirty then the transmission can be reluctant to go into "slip" mode. Many places will do a fluid change, but not change/clean the filters as that can be a lot of workshop time on some models. Dirty fluid can lead to all sorts of internal issues - scored brake bands, blocked servos, blocked passages (some are VERY small), so the problem may not be cured by a simple fluid change, but require a lot of additional work and that "ain't cheap". So, before going for the transmission have the simples listed looked at - plug leads, air/vacuum pipes - now that would be a good place to start - they are 16 years old and bound to be approaching their life end. And My car has a cross member that is in the way I was told.

I think it is time for a set of spark plugs. Does it run rough while in gear at idle? If it does, that is misfire, and a tuneup is the best place to start. I'm no "grease monkey" but 30+ years of owning and doing basic maintenance on my own and spouses cars, I would have to agree with J. Mileski diagnosis "engine problem(s)". Rough idle and/or stalls while in gear are the first sign you car needs a tune-up. Dirty Spark Plugs and the associated Wires are most common causes of a misfire - in that extreme desert heat the wires get dry and crack faster than in other parts of the US; a clogged/dirty fuel filter is also a remote possibility. I don't know if CA has a program like we have in TX that if a car fails the mandated state inspection you might be eligible for some state "pollution reduction funding" to get the emissions back in to compliance. I'm not due for another smog inspection, until next year, this year the registration is all that is required. The car did pass smog last time. As to that funding, um, not that I know of. A tune up, I can't do right now, September is when that $90 DMV registration renewal is due, in Oct and Nov is when I need to get the home's furnace repaired, I have property taxes of $102.65 due in December(1st installment), So I'll just have 3 months to get a Tune up(maybe $20), oil change($20+41-54 for oil), and the transmission fluid changed($140), in January to March, Property Taxes 2nd installment are due in April 2017.

My car's automatic transmission, I was at a stop light with My foot upon the brake, all of a sudden the engine quit, yes I got the engine to restart, other times I noticed the idle was rough while in gear, though while in park the idle was smooth, purred like Grace. This is not something I need at the moment, next month in Sept is DMV Car Registration time, in Oct and Nov I'm saving up to fix the gas central furnace for the house, in Dec I have property taxes to pay for($102.65, repeat in April for another $102.65), so that means Jan and Feb of 2017 for this, just a fluid change would be $140.00, more than that I don't know, I'll have to ask Lube Express on that. The shift lever is from time to time sticking now, the engine bogs down and stalls in gear, the idle is affected while in gear at low speed, yet the idle is fine when in Park, I'm hoping I'm not having a clutch problem. I'm going to call Lube Express Monday for an estimate, I can't do anything else, I'm broke right now. Some may not believe or give a damn, but it is the truth. I did tell My sister in law about this, She said this is serious. I moved this here from the Don't know thread, since it seems no one was paying any attention... I don't think it is the transmission, stalling in gear is usually an engine problem. I think it is time for a set of spark plugs. Does it run rough while in gear at idle? If it does, that is misfire, and a tuneup is the best place to start. In gear it does run rough, at low speeds, the car has stalled once already. I have 4 motorsport platinum plugs, I need to find them and put them with the Fram oil filter. Still no oil, yet, I was going to buy 5qts of Royal Purple 5w30 oil(synthetic), that's what the car uses, which is $41.60(no tax and free shipping) on Amazon in a 5qt container, which is less expensive than buying quart sized containers, by half. So far I have the gas to get to town, nearly 3/4 of a tank, but that's all. Lube Express charges $20(labor) if one brings ones own parts for an oil change, as to changing the plugs and properly gaping them, I tried doing that once, I have one good arm, the other had been dislocated years ago, so no leverage there, I'll have to ask how much that will cost. Currently I have 4 iridium spark plugs in the car. I have a K&N air filter, so no changes need to be made there right now, not until there has been 50,000 miles on the air filter, and then it just needs to be reoiled.

9876) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Automobile transmission problem (Message 1807433) Posted 6 Aug 2016 by zoom3+1=4 Post: What am I concerned about lately? My car's automatic transmission, I was at a stop light with My foot upon the brake, all of a sudden the engine quit, yes I got the engine to restart, other times I noticed the idle was rough while in gear, though while in park the idle was smooth, purred like Grace. This is not something I need at the moment, next month in Sept is DMV Car Registration time, in Oct and Nov I'm saving up to fix the gas central furnace for the house, in Dec I have property taxes to pay for($102.65, repeat in April for another $102.65), so that means Jan and Feb of 2017 for this, just a fluid change would be $140.00, more than that I don't know, I'll have to ask Lube Express on that. The shift lever is from time to time sticking now, the engine bogs down and stalls in gear, the idle is affected while in gear at low speed, yet the idle is fine when in Park, I'm hoping I'm not having a clutch problem. I'm going to call Lube Express Monday for an estimate, I can't do anything else, I'm broke right now. Some may not believe or give a damn, but it is the truth. I did tell My sister in law about this, She said this is serious. I moved this here from the Don't know thread, since it seems no one was paying any attention...
