Why can't Brits pronounce "room"? It's not a womb, there is a R at the beginning.

I like both of those personally. And I dunno, we watch UK programming a good bit, at some point I noticed the R=W thing, and now it drives me nuts.

everdave posted:I will be doing hopefully 5-10 posts a week just nights after work (out of town next couple of weekends). I am using ethanol free 40:1 tru-fuel. The manual says run it out after use but I can't/won't do that. Will be used at least weekly until fence done then I don't care if it ever runs again (need it to last maybe 2-3 months max) It will be fine, especially with tru fuel. It doesn't have a fuel line shut-off? Seems pretty weird for the manufacturer to expect you to run the fuel tank dry, but I could see turning the fuel off and running the fuel out of the bowl.

loving hell, MGS. So fencechat, I just got handed another job I don't have time for. Despite my protest, my wife decided to block her difficult thoroughbred in his feeding stall. I literally said, he's going to panic and go forward and tear down the fence. Hey guess what. Notice the brand new hydrant that got broken off as well.

Had to euthanize and bury my wife's horse today. Not a great day, but it had to be done. But her mom agreed to come get (!) the kids and  keep them overnight . So we'll actually eat out tonight like adults and such.

rdb posted:What happened to the horse? He's always been very difficult on the ground, aggressive. Not natural horse behaviour. We've sent him to training more than once but he's gotten steadily worse over the years. Wife has had him for 11 years and he was 18 (off the track thoroughbred). Last week we had an indecent with him, and the choice was to wait for a really big accident, or make a pre emptive move. A lot of thought and a lot of other persons were asked before this decision was reached, with heavy heart.

That was the end of really a series of events, yes. We also have a young horse who is very submissive. The older horse was increasingly aggressive, and the feed stalls were an attempt to give the young horse the ability to eat in peace. It worked for almost a week, then every day the older horse got more aggressive until it ended in the fence incident. More concerning than the damage, was before that happened my wife was standing by the young horse who was eating, guarding him with a whip, while the older aggressive horse circled back and forth like a shark, turning and acting like he was going to kick. Not even remotely normal horse (prey animal) behaviour.

rdb posted:Ohh wow. I have an OTTB as well, and I hope it never gets that bad. That really is a tough call. Our other horse is also an OTTB, and if there's a silver lining to all this, my wife got him last year, fresh off the track on a hunch and he's turned out basically perfect. So she isn't without a ride, and we made this change before something bad happened between them which was probably inevitable. It would have been awful for the young horse full of opportunity to get hosed up physically or mentally. Also got to meet our new large animal vet, who just started in January with her own business doing farm calls. She was super cool, knowledgeable and compassionate. So also nice to know we have someone local to call if there's something we can't handle. My wife is a vet tech and also the practice manager, but it's a small animal practice and she fully knows her limitations.

You certainly don't have to comply with these idiot rent a cops, and I would absolutely report their actions. I'd have done it immediately so it would surely bite them in the rear end. That being said, stopping for funerals is all but (and sometimes is) law in The South. I'm usually pretty anti "the way things are" but it's one fight I leave be. I guess it's a tradition I'm just used to, or maybe I kinda like it that way.

everdave posted:Why I was hesitant to post, and I am a respectful person. But this was a 4/5 lane road (technically it's a highway but considered a road by locals). Again 5-10 cars went to right lane and slipped by respectfully at 5 mph. I tried to do same don't know what provoked outrage other than I had to get a little closer to the start because one car did stop right lane? And I looked it up there is no law preventing me from blowing past at speed limit (which is 50) but I would never do that. Nah I'd have done the same man. You didn't do anything wrong. My usual response is to follow whatever traffic is doing, slow or stop. Sounds like these guys need to be dealt with. Funerals here usually have a police escort though. I've never seen private (whatever you call them) transport "cops" doing anything but oversize load escort.

So basically even if he's producing a net power excess overall, he gets slapped with a monthly bill based on the power he draws when he turns the a/c on on the morning to prepare for tours, when the sun isn't up yet. Also, some of what Tesla is doing is cool and what not, but they are not Amazon.

Got my "loan paid in full" notice from the bank yesterday, on my wife's cr-v. Woop woop. Unfortunately the letter was ambiguous about whether I would receive a title, or have to request it from the DMV. Car was purchased brand new, anybody know how this works?

Geoj posted:Typically the title is proof of ownership so the bank physically holds it, when you receive it it should be stamped with some form of "lien released" or similar. I'm wondering if an actual state issued title was ever printed...we bought the car new so I assume if the bank had anything it was the certificate of origin provided by Honda? I'm thinking either I get nothing (bank sends CO to DMV and they record the release of lien; I have to request a printed title) or the DMV sends me a new title in the next couple weeks.

For anyone waiting with bated breath, a freshly printed title arrived today with our current address, though it says it was issued in '12 with 232 miles on the odo, stated as "New". So there you go.

ExplodingSims posted:But it sounds like that compressor was on it's way out anyways, if they had two caps in there that means one was a hard start kit, so this had been a long time coming. Regarding ac hard start kits, I read an article a while back (unfortunately looks like it's now behind a paywall) about how hard start kits should really be standard even on new units. In short, according to the article, they measurably reduce the locked rotor amps, and get the motor up to speed more quickly, reducing wear. I suppose you can guess at why they're not standard equipment from the factory. Increased initial cost and a longer compressor service life are both bad for sales.

ExplodingSims posted:Lol, I bet they're gonna put a 410 unit in without doing a flush. Or even checking if the line sizes are correct for the new unit, based on previous experiences. Hey this is the awesomeness I have on my house! My place was a Fannie Mae foreclosure and the condensers were stolen, so fixing the hvac was conditional to the closing. It was "done", but terribly. The little 1.5 ton air handler for my back room, has a return grill filter. They left the filter door off the unit (no where to be seen), with a filter in it, in the attic. Not that it really mattered, because they didn't bother to finish tying in the return. I had them come back and "fix" this, and a bunch of other stuff, but the line sets they reused stayed. I probably could have gotten them changed out if I was really an rear end about it, but I bet for my trouble they would have sabotaged something so I cut my losses and plan to get a package unit eventually. (The main air handler unit is dug slightly into the ground because there's not enough clearance in the crawl space, and I've burned up 2 condensate pumps between our 2015 historic floods and hurricane Matthew last year just from rising groundwater. Meanwhile there's nothing in the way of a package unit installation, who knows?) Both existing, undersized line sets are straight shots, nothing in the way, less than 20' each and they reused the old lines with the rotten insulation. Crimped the flare on the units to fit the too small copper line, and brazed away. Flushed? Lol yeah right.

Sooo my wife decided to try having a horse boarder here on our property again (ie, someone else pays for us to keep their animal). We tried a couple years ago, but the person was slack about paying on time, and their horse was super sketchy, so when she moved on we didn't hunt for another boarder. Recently my wife saw a post on some local FB page from a lady who was moving into the area and wanted to find a private place to board, not a big facility (for legitimate reasons that y'all won't find interesting) Anyway, the couple just got into town yesterday from New Mexico, and they came over to meet the horse shipper and us and have dinner.....and they're actually super cool. Dude is an actual F16 pilot, and drives a Cobalt SS, which I thought was kind of hilarious. I tried not to be too unbearably jealous, and somehow managed to not make any Top Gun references. :iamafag:

Some people can't have nice things... My wife does treat the inside of her cr-v like a dumpster, but fortunately she takes care of the outside, and I guess it's nothing that 30 minutes and a shop vac can't fix. ...And an at-fault little wreck knocked the new off when it was two months old, so gently caress it doesn't bother me (new front bumper cover and fogs). If it makes it another 7 years, it'll be the oldest kid's first car. If it survives that, it'll go to the youngest 5 years later.

If the repair is going to be expensive, then yes absolutely go through insurance. It's what you pay for! If they jack your rates unacceptably, go insurance shopping. I guess if you have a tight budget, and home/car/etc is all together it can be difficult to switch insurers, but being able to jump ship is the best tool in your pocket. New policy = best rate.

Unless the damage is slight AND you expect they can pay up, there's a good chance he can gently caress you over if you don't go through insurance. If you do decide to try letting him pay out of pocket, force him to sign a statement of liability, that way it isn't your word against his if he decides to be a poo poo down the road.
