I agree... I have an unopened bottle of beer from 1975, just by looking at it I can tell that its "better with age" window is long gone. (Note the sediment buildup at the bottom)

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Pouring gas over everything and lighting it by tossing a lit cigarette into the puddle. It does not work that way.

If that were even remotely true they wouldn't be pulling all the underhanded tactics to discredit the election... but hey! Gotta look legit I guess even though their entire castle is made out of cardboard.

To sow doubt to fit their narrative that when they lose the election it was rigged against them.

The right is literally at war with democracy, except instead of guns they're flinging bullshit.

To be fair a lot of wells didn't/don't have good water either but we were not very good at testing or noticing that kind of thing until people started dropping.

You're correct, but I just want to point out that it isn't advisable to drink or cook with water that comes from your hot water tank. Hot water can (and usually will) corrode metal parts from your tank and plumbing and can be contaminated by all sorts of nasty stuff that won't go away even if you boil the water first.

If you look it up on youtube, you can see for yourself the insane amount of crap that builds up inside a hot water tank over time. https://youtu.be/kAzKts6Wp1Q?si=UMPzHcIoSRdSgJ4g&t=88

I remember the summer that happened. I was a kid that lived 1100 miles away in Canada and can still recall the haze and smell we had that summer.

Volcanoes are scary as hell.

In my case it's because the last several owners of this house were idiots that cheaped out on everything and thought they knew better than the professionals do.... my plumbing is a wonderful variety of crap soldered to different crap that I think was partially salvaged from the Titanic or something.

And since I'm renting, I have no ambition to rip anything out and fix it properly unless it breaks.

So when your cybertruck breaks down you can just whip out the cyberscooter to go get help.

That's my kitchen sink. Takes forever to get hot water but the bathroom (Which is further from the tank) takes half the time.

The joys of an old house.

My guess is it's similar to the electric motors they put in cars vs industrial motors... they can both put out X amount of power but the industrial ones (or in this case the laptop power) can do it continuously without overheating while the other can only output "up to" that power rating for a short time without burning up.

In this case though, the laptop power probably also outputs a higher voltage as well.

 

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

 

Not the regular type of post in this sub, but I thought some of you might enjoy it anyway.

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

"How to get thousands of people to send you money with little to no effort. Send $5 and a self addressed stamped envelope to..."

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.

 

Well that was unexpected. Rip Matthew

 

Rip Bull.

 

I saw the String cheese post so I thought I'd share my own "slightly beyond best before date" consumable. I used to have two of them that I had found in my attic under some insulation, but the other one froze in my garage and broke open. (No, it did NOT smell pleasant. I'm pretty sure whatever vile liquid is in that thing does not resemble beer in any way, shape, or form.)

It's perched on a flashlight to try and show the sediment that's built up on the bottom of the bottle.
