  1. i have a Honda 2000 genny that I converted to run on LP for that very reason; to not have to worry about the gas going bad and keeping extra gas (and rotating that in and out). bought a kit online and it was fairly simple to do. I got a 100lb LP tank that I can hook up to it to run for longer spells. I normally break it out every 3 months or so and fire it up and check the oil. Need to put a gauge on the tank next time i fill it though. it's hard to lift and shake to get an idea of what's left. biggest 'to-do' for us would be to try and insulate our 100 yo house much much better. After turning off the gas fire place overnight, the bottom floor dropped to 47F with power on the morning it got down to -2F. Those freeze miser spigot things are cool. may try those as I was team drip. I got one of those huge Lithium batteries ~5years ago. Those are great for keeping phones, tablets and even running a lamp, laptop, speaker for hours. amazon no longer has the page, but it looks like this about the size of a six pack of cans. keep some of those shark bite pipe fittings on hand also some spare parts for the gas fireplace. not sure what it is called, but the flared aluminum pipe that carries gas from the outlet to the manifold broke the first night. I dug through the garage and found the old setup from a previous house that we saved. Did not have a torch so used our gas stove to heat up and bend the pipe to fit. so maybe throw in a little propane torch for good measure. that would be good for thawing pipes as well.
  2. can we get a Mr. Fusion already? Fuck. I am on team long term and just find the cheapest 36 mo plan and lock in.
  3. no dog in the hunt, but HP not having any outages was trending last night on twitter based on that screen cap. I don't know if the pic was fake or not. that web site is supposed to be a snap shot of what is going on real-ish time. When i looked at one point yesterday, my hood had no outages and then 30 minutes later they were showing again. Same thing for HP. I did see a point in time where there were no outages showing. So it was probably possible to take a legit screen shot of that happening.
  4. contact tracing? Also, didn't the league amp up their C19 protocols vs what was in place at the beginning of the season? I know there are stricter mask rules but unsure about if the threshold to get games cancelled went down. Either way it is bullsh. Contract tracing is the big wildcard as that is a variable that teams could fudge one way or another if so inclined.
  5. could have just built up the large qty overnight from a slow leak and then it all came down at once. Maybe it's just a joint that came loose and not a full on burst in the pipe. Either way good luck
  6. lol, my youngest will float downstairs like this when i cook bacon.
  7. well, the city maintains the electrical supply with a positive pressure. If it drops to zero you have to boil your electricity first
  8. downstairs temp was 48 this morning and that was with power and central heat going last night. our ancient house can't take this artic shit. All the vents are in the floorboard downstairs with the air ducts running through the crawlspace from the furnace in the basement. the air temp coming from some of the vents furthest away from the furnace is ~82F at best. The ducting (or whatever you call it) is fairly new as we had the unit replaced 2 years ago, but i guess the crawlspace is just so freaking cold it does not matter. upstairs is at least OK as it has a separate unit. - Is insulating the crawlspace a thing with the spray on shit? we basically just have the hardwood floors between the living area and the crawlspace and that's it. for those w/o power hang in there and godspeed.
  9. because it has fuck-all to do with the game? tree falling in the forest and not a Newsmax reporter to hear it. Fans have every right to let their voice heard about their game experience and the team can address it or not. Silver took the decision away so hopefully it's a non-issue now. KP hitting from the horse logo just effortlessly. looked like a normal shot. the league is going to need to widen the court and move the 3pt line back. Also, the Zion shot chart was awesome. 14-14 inside the restricted area! 14-15 for the game. Dude is a beast.
  10. I just keep a jawbone of a donkey under the bed and let my hair grow out a bit. Between me and Samson we've killed over 1000 men with that thing. I think Brisket jumped way offsides on this thing unprovoked. I took CHIEF's post to mean you did not have to be a shitkicker to partake. And i use shitkicker with the utmost respect having grown up raising cattle in a very small town (even though now I am an unrepentant librul commie). I think the thread started with general curiosity about the CC and then got surly'd .
  11. fucking lulz. JFC our politicians are so fucking stupid and reactionary (unless, you know it's about combatting a pandemic). They couldn't care less that the actual capitol building and the actual people that make up the government were attacked but let's whip up a new bill to protect a fucking song and mandate that it be played . Can we hurry up and just become AI's bitch?
  12. I missed the middle of the game, but was a little puzzled and thought KP might be hurt or something when i did not see him in there in the last 5 mins. Brunson was just a blur of activity making the right decision to drive or shoot just about every time. Great win. Congratulations, you are still out of the playoffs. get back to work.
  13. here. read the MSDS for hydrogen peroxide and then tell me you still want to rub this on your face every day https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/11189.htm Appearance: clear, colorless liquid.Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause a fire. Eye contact may result in permanent eye damage. Corrosive. Causes eye and skin irritation and possible burns. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause blood abnormalities. Light sensitive. May cause central nervous system effects.Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system.Potential Health Effects Eye: Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns. Contact with the eyes may cause corneal damage. Skin: Causes severe skin irritation and possible burns. May cause discoloration, erythema (redness), swelling, and the formation of papules and vesicles (blisters). Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause vascular collapse and damage. May cause damage to the red blood cells.

At high concentrations, respiratory effects may include acute lung damage and delayed pulmonary edema. Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Repeated contact may cause corneal damage. Granted, i think the stuff you are using is more diluted than this, but yeah, stop using it.
  14. i see stickers on trucks a lot throughout Dallas. even Dallas proper and not the burbs, so CC branches must have several that commute out to services. never heard anything about the services or theology one way or another and have never knowingly met someone who is a member. Maybe it's not like Crossfit in that practitioners are mandated to tell everyone within shouting distance that they belong. Is there a centralized entity that defines their theology, helps set up new chapters and sells officially licensed stickers? Or is it more ad hoc non-denominational and each one may have a different flavor for how the service goes depending on the pastor?
  15. for regular season games, they never show the anthem on TV. The public needs to know that Ben Abbott & Associates are the official ambulance chaser of the Dallas Mavericks. I really don't care. If I am at a game and the anthem is played, I stand up and sing. If i am in the concourse buying a beer pre-kick/tip and it comes on the monitor, i keep going about my bidness and more often than not, no one screams at me for hating the troops. It's so fucking stupid that the standard to be a 'patriot' is have the flag tattooed on your cock. Anything short of that mean you love China and are a commie.
  16. I was juuuuust about to change to channel with the Mavs on cruise control then bam, it was single digits and then after 2 bad turnovers for the Mavs (Jr High level bad passes) near half court it got interesting
  17. yeah, i think we are saying the same thing. I had no idea the trend was so recent, but these church leaders are pushing obviously false narratives to gain stupid followers. In using the Bible as a buffet, how is someone parsing through the book and thinking, yeah, I am going to emphasize this date based on Abraham's genealogy back to Adam and double down in the face of established science. perusing the wikipedia of YEC brought the lulz
  18. i am going to need an MS Paint diagram before making any judgements
