That has little to do with substation location and everything to do with what transformers are on the poles near the property. If there isn't a 3-phase one already you'll likely have to pay for it.

B: 2 bucks for that console? Score. I have some CCR and Rolling Stones 8 tracks in a box some where. If I find them I'll ship them to you.

Eddie Bauer leather seats have pretty good lumbar support, too. It feels kind of odd to just set the cruise while flooring it and stop giving a crap because you'll never speed, even if you drive off a drat cliff. drat thing went FASTER with an extra ton of junk and people in it than it does unloaded. I tried the factory motorcraft plugs and it dropped to 16mpg so I stuck the Bosch +4 back in and it sits at 19 all drat day (on 85.5). :shrug:

The FM stereo in the console is absolutely awesome. That weird bump in the back is a removable cover to store your 8 tracks on top. It is in amazing condition. Sadly, the rear model sticker came off, and I can't figure out what it is. First time I've seen a separate AM/FM tuning display while still running off the same singular knob. It has phono and tape (reel of course) RCA inputs on the back. May just have to replace the 90s CD/cassette combo small footprint box that I was using with it.

I did a 'how to change songs' demo for my youngest cousin on the radio (by adjusting the tuning knob). She wanted to take the radio to school for show and tell. :3:

I'm the comic book writer from before. I am NOT Frank Miller, he's a wee bit older than me.

I'll give advice to any aspiring writers, including you Windows 98. Write every day, force yourself to do at least an hour a day. Doesnt matter much what you write, just do it. And send it out wherever you can. Prose, poems, free form, stream of consciousness, novels, whatever.

Also advice for BSS - you're all a bunch of cunts except for Gavok and a few others. CapnAndy again is a literal joke in the comics industry and is seen as "the worst kind of thing to come out of comics" and goons like Rhyno are bitter angry losers who like to bitch about comic writers who are insanely more successful and happy than them.

Comucs are fun. Some are terrible - who gives a poo poo. That's life - you perfectionist goons will never ne happy with anything. Maybe if you read my books a little closer you'd realize that, but your too far up your own asses.

My regular doctor runs a walk in clinic. Still takes appointments though.

Called over the weekend, left a voicemail. Never heard back, so I showed up. They said he's booked solid, and that I should have left a voicemail.

Told them I did. "No you didn't, I'm the one who checks the voicemail"

Told them all I needed was 5 minutes of his time to write a script. Nope. We'll call you later to set up an appointment later in the week.

Trying to just get a script for naltrexone, which is for both opiate and alcohol cravings. I've had it before, printed out the NIH info on it and everything, in case he wasn't familiar with it.

Turns out a substance abuse center near home does medication management, and takes my insurance insurance. Waiting to be assessed, and trying my best not to make the poo poo out of the dude next to me who won't shut up about politics. Many of which I agree with, but he's just talking to the room.

Edit oh thank gently caress they finally brought me into an assessment room. Pretty sure that kid was on meth.

Welp, Clinic won't do meds unless I do 6 hours a day of iop, or do inpatient. Neither are options for me. Though the assessor has her own therapy practice near the house, and takes my insurance, so if I need that...

If you only need the glass replaced, you can get it for about :10bux:. If the digitizer is pooched, most folks won't even try to do an LCD/digitizer decoupling, so you are probably looking at $200.

We have a tablet in the kitchen (which is less than 5 feet from the microwave), and for awhile, had a PC on the counter nearby. Both 2.4 GHz wireless.

Actually, depending on the Router, the Microwave probably still leaks a little.

But now WiFi has ECC to account for it:

Either way, the 2.4Ghz spectrum is a little crowded. I'll see if I can find my spectrum analyzer in the moving box and show you the wonderful affects of pulsing microwave frequencies upon WiFi packets.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Said gently caress it and booked tomorrow off to spend some time with my kid, dropped the car off to have the clicking noise checked out. Turns out it's a job I can do myself for £100 or pay someone else £200.

What I'm saying is it seems I'm willing to pay the extra £100 to spend tomorrow with my kid rather than under the car.

I won't regret this decision.
