For starters, I have no idea what N and G mean. Yes, I will have to dedicate some time to this. I don't want to fill my brain up 3 years ahead, though. Things may change in that time.

First: I have been in science and engineering my whole life and have never encountered anyone professing these beliefs. Seems like something else is going on in OP's circle of acquaintances. Second: there's a growing trend out there to call all religious beliefs "ridiculous." In sabbatical...

Ticks. 'nuf said.

It is threads like this that keep me coming back from my sabbaticals. Great post, OP, and good discussion everyone. My mind is swirling. I like solving problems and have been doing so by building or fixing things. The Medicare/Medicap decision, however, just gives me heartburn. I guess...

I sat on ID.me forever, delaying and delaying. During my break away from here, I spent time dealing with stuff like this. It turned out to go really smoothly. A few things: - Skip the web, do it on the phone - Take that selfie carefully - Make sure your license is up to date People who have...

Not a comment on EVs FSD, but I thought I'd add interesting context to above situation. If you can stomach a jump off to reddit, here's a pointer to a post of a truck's dashcam that passes this explosion exactly as it happens. It some of the more impressive dashcam video I've ever seen. The...

I don't know how it is working for Sengsational, but for my family, it has caused some friction. My first cousin removed is now a regular on a well known network drama. My first cousins have been pretty close through our lives. Cousin-removed got married last year and had to keep it a...

Watched original 1990 Twin Peaks, then Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), then the movie Inland Empire (2006). Subsequently, I discovered that all this David Lynch has burnt out some circuits in my brain.

Looks like no washer or cross thread. Pipe tape won't help if the washer is not seated because you'll get leaks out exactly where you are getting leaks out. To add value to what has already been said, I have found sometimes you need two washers. This happens when you can't seat it well.

Google Fiber services my address. This now makes GF the winner, although I get Max with AT&T. Is that worth it for me? I dunno. Time to start thinking about it.

Here's my MRI. I suffered. Tried it all. Surgery finally gave me my life back. (Using this as a test case for the new forum software. Will drag and drop work?)

Got this from AT&T for internet: Increase history: + $5 Jan 23 + $5 Sept 23 + $5 June 24 This communication also goes with another trend we see of dissuading credit card usage. They would prefer direct withdrawal. Then they'll throw a bone. I guess that's better than charging for CC, which...

Hey, lookee here. Something shiny and new. Been away for a while and the Edsel turned into an F-150 Lighting. I think I'll do some tire kicking and see what this baby can do.

I came out of my time away to see what ER is saying about this. I'm not surprised. The bias has been pretty obvious here. A bad report won't be discussed, especially with an election coming up. Hope you are all doing well! Back to my hole.

Time for me to follow the likes of RobbieB and COCheesehead and take a break. Breaks are good for a reset. I'm not intending on it being permanent. I should be back some day. Not that anyone cares. Most are happy to see me go and would rather I be gone for good. :dance: Wishing you all the...
