Stop stealing my points damnit IoC  Sears was the amazon of the last 150 years. If they hadn't flubbed the internet so hard they could have been the amazon of the last 10 years and the next 50, too. Innovate or die. Same goes for radioshack vs amazon, digikey, and adafruit/similar maker electronics sources, too. Radioshack failed to innovate and they are a dead shell of their former selves today as a result.

CornHolio posted:So there's a junkyard about 45 minutes away that has a set of four Goodyear Wrangler tires for $120. Tread looks alright, date code is 02/13. Good deal or pass? I'm looking for cheap tires for my truck, which has four different brand tires in two sizes on it right now, all of which are in awful shape. I don't really need tires until spring, but if these are a good deal I'll get them. Thoughts? Sounds like a solid deal to me, depending on the size, could be a really good deal.

Mostly 'cause you motherfuckers say poo poo like that. I've been on both sides of this debate, and I'll be damned if I don't find you two's style of arguing/writing condescending and obnoxious even though I tend to agree with your point. Seriously, the tone does not help. Don't stop posting... don't stop arguing your side... but not being condescending and/or throwing around mean names and generalizations goes a long way, even if it does feel rather cathartic. I ended up changing my mind over the last 3-4 years not because anyone convinced me (if anything, the arguments I was in and read pushed me more toward my existing point of view) but because I read more and more analytical articles with data that proved my viewpoint wrong without calling me names. e: this probably applies to me too. Do as I say, not as I do

NitroSpazzz posted:At least we didn't get ice this time. People were driving stupid but the minimal snow we got didn't make to bad a mess of the back roads and the interstates (in Knoxville at least) were almost dry by 11 this morning. I didn't plan on going anywhere today with the snow but girlfriend was going stir crazy after being on bed rest since Wednesday morning so we went for a drive. Little VW does fine in this stuff and everyone was driving properly cautious. 1/4 is probably overkill, 3/16 is likely about right, and 1/8 may be sufficient but possibly not. Given the small amount you will be using I would just use 1/4. Geoj, you completely loving missed my point and then doubled down. Congrats, I don't know why I was at all surprised by this but I'll just leave it at that because apparently politichat annoys people.

3 way and 4 way light switches are dumb simple. Use a multimeter to figure out which is the common terminal, or if it's broken completely, open it up and figure it out. 3ways are literally just an SPDT toggle, 4ways are a DPDT prewired to either run the two wires straight through, or cross them over internally. Tomarse - I have no idea how to ship things internationally or pay duties but if you can get me a list of poo poo you want for your assortment, I can buy grade 8 fasteners by the pound at TSC and mail them to you. 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, and 1" UNC are all in stock in many lengths, if you need UNF or 7/16 you might be toast. Also, try ordering from boltdepot.com if it will let you, they are awesome and stock drat near everything you could ever want and the prices are great, especially if you don't mind stocking up just a little. They're my go-to for metric stateside since I have the opposite problem, but they do cover UN threads pretty well too.

Never takes me that long? Hell, usually one of the three hot screws is colored differently or has a marking cast into the plastic housing indicating it's the special one. Easy! The thing that annoys me most about those sorts of things is the drat screws into the outlet box are always a little stiff going in and I freak out wondering if I cross threaded or chowdered the threads, and also back-stabbed wiring is the loving worst and never should have been allowed by NEC, the only thing it did was make slapping together mcmansions cheaper and faster during the last real estate bubble. Hopefully some of them burn down because of that.

Adiabatic posted:There really needs to be a "home lighting for EEs" book and you need to write it because holy poo poo I used to be scared of them but hearing this and then looking at the below diagram has taken all the mystery out of them: There are plenty of excellent textbooks out there that cover this poo poo actually - hell, the one I read when I was 8 and used to help my dad wire the garage* in the mid 90s covered stuff exactly like that. I'll see if I can figure out which one I read. e: a 4-way goes between the two 3-ways and is a DPDT switch wired to either pass the red/black "traveler" wires straight through, or swap them. Now you know why you can toggle any of the switches and the light changes state!  national electric code has required neutral wires in every switch box since several years ago (unsure how many, anywhere from 09 to 14 depending on your muni I think?) so you need /3-WG romex to do all lighting switch circuits these days. A lot of electricians are bent out of shape over this due to the extra cost, I didn't really give a poo poo and just complied with the code. angryrobots posted:I never use the device screws to pull the device into the box. Push it in by hand and then thread the screws down to the device. Same, but those stupid tiny 6-32 threads always just feel wrong when I'm threading them in regardless.

As long as you have the right paperwork to drive it across the border I don't see there being any issues. Sawzall the gutted hulk into parts small enough to pick up and drop it as scrapmetal at your favorite scrapyard, I still have the titles from a few cars I've parted out that way because they didn't even want them. Less than half a dollar bill or less than half a chassis is no longer a dollar bill or car, as far as the banks and scrapyards are concerned.

Generations are made up lines in time just like years. Actually years at least correspond to trips around the sun. What I am saying is "man gently caress millennials" is a less valid statement than "gently caress 2016". Most of the likely work shortages of the future are going to be due to automation imo. We shall see, skilled trades aka installing and fixing poo poo will still be there. Geoj, that story about your family was amazing and I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for it

the spyder posted:Random question of the day: What keeps you motivated? Depends. Some days I have little to no motivation, other days I am on a loving mission. People say I get a lot done and I'm just "gently caress if you even knew how much time I spend faffing about and screwing off..." A LOT of concurrent projects keeps me going mostly I guess, if I get tired of one thing, I can always say gently caress it and ignore it for 3 years while I screw around with the other stuff. Right now #1 priority is finishing the master bedroom in my house and getting the heating system put together so we can stop blowing 3-500 bucks a month running spaceheaters to keep the place above 45 degrees.

I ended up giving away something I had listed on all the local fb groups for sale in AISS, because the only people who seemed to be interested were broke rear end vapebro dipshits who wanted to chat with me on facebook about "how fuken sikk itd be on their grancherkee bro, man thatd be awesome!!!" and yet had no discernible mechanical skills nor any idea how much money or time is involved in doing that, and always managed to make themselves scarce as soon as I suggested they buy it and do exactly what they said with it. gently caress that, it was worth right about my "I'd rather set this on fire than deal with this many twats" limit, so off it went to become someone else's problem/source of entertainment

if you don't like pine&swine pizza you are wrong. The best is still double all meats available, double all cheeses available, bbq sauce, black olives, and green peppers though. My former coworkers at my last job were absolutely certain I was high as a kite the first time I ordered that.
