  1. Airbox is easy enough, but what about Nurk's muffler bandits?
  2. So how do you go about finding, then removing, this crap? I'm stuck parking outside again, and wouldn't be too surprised to find such critters taking advantage of my car as well.
  3. Make sure you both show up in court. Take it from Andy, he knows about these sorts of things.
  4. Yup... CA/CCA really doesn't matter in this situation, that's a measure of how quickly the battery can give you power. Here you're looking for a slow and potentially deep discharge, where amp-hours or watt-minutes determines how much power you can pull out of the thing. If you expect to be using this a lot, go for a deep-discharge marine battery, like what you'd hook up to an electric trolling motor, not a regular starter battery.

    Verizon

    Go through all your settings to make sure things didn't get reset back to default or 'allow background lte'. There's also a nasty little bugger where it'll revert to lte data if the wifi signal is weak just to speed things up.
  6. Just takes a bit of practice. If it's a question of going over it fifty times and there's something still not getting trimmed, try pushing the uncooperative area out with your tongue (from the inside!) to make it stand up more.
  7. I'd be leery of Norelco, especially if your hair tends to lay flat (like mine does) rather than stand straight out... their lift-and-cut heads will lead to just as many ingrowns as a traditional razor does.
  8. Been using Braun foil since high school, 'nuff said About the only thing to keep in mind is that the blades in an electric wear out just like any other, and require occasional replacement. I could probably get about 16-18 months out of them if I pushed, but it's easier to just take advantage of the moms/dads/grads or back-to-school sales and go yearly.
  9. It's all digital. Either it works, or it doesn't.
  10. Exact same position as mine, but in Pittsburgh: http://careers.expedient.com/apply/31zwWy/Facility-Electrician The market, in many ways, dictates what we can ask for... it took us four months to find someone for our Dublin office (all the local sparkies have more work+OT than they know what to do with, so only the obviously unqualified dregs were applying), but in Cleveland, we'd have legit applications out the wazoo. The mechanical experience would be handy, especially with HVAC stuff, and throwing the electrical degree on top was basically my qualifications when I was cold-called six years ago about coming in for an interview.
  11. If I ever get my frakking transfer to Cleveland, it sounds like you'd be a great candidate to take my spot at Expedient.
  12. ttt... Don't make me use the :masturboy: at Craigslist, offer me something realistic and it's yours :fuckyeah:
  13. Oh I'm sure the idea was looked at, then written off as being ludicrously expensive even for what had previously been a purely theoretical exercise. Then you get into the aesthetics of the thing... there's a reason fire escapes on downtown apartment buildings are always in the grungy disused alley. Just imagine what it would look like to have an entire side of a landmark high-rise covered by one.
  14. Not crazy to me. Engineer says "We can make this system, it'll cost $$$." Building owner says "That's nice, but the insurance liability for not installing it is only $. Go jack off somewhere else."
  15. I dunno... it's a really shitty elevation to be at. Too high for any realistic chance of not going *splat*, but not high enough for a parachute or wingsuit to get enough air underneath it to be useful. The only thing I can really think of that would be helpful in that sort of situation is a hang-glider, but they're too big to fit in your typical office cubicle.
  16. I wondered the same thing (though more along the lines of why radio/television techs don't jump when they're dead tired and done working), but the answer is actually quite simple... it takes ~2000ft to fully deploy and bring a person to landing speed. BASE jumpers with modified gear and ejection seats can do it in far less, but those are entirely different beasts.
  17. I did not forget, but I refuse to be guilted back into moaning and wailing and the "Save me, Big Brother!!" mentality that this annual ritual feeds into.
  18. Asking $100ish, includes everything seen, along with a bunch of extra filter cartridges, various adjustment chemicals, air pump, and probably some other stuff in the cabinet. The only things really missing are a hood-lamp (the ballast died a couple months ago) and fish. As long as you don't fill it with tap water, no water cycling should be needed when you set it up.
  19. Ok, but tankless gas versus tankless electric? I still don't see the point of going electric.
  20. Is electric tankless even worth considering, given how expensive electricity is compared to gas? (Assuming, of course, Sully's got gas service)
  21. Crap, totally forgot about this in all the chaos of moving. Shooting the pics over to wifey again now. If she's game, are you busy tonight?
  22. Grabbed a 20oz on my way to CLE last weekend since I missed it the first time around. Nothing really special about it... didn't taste nearly as Pepsi-like as I expected, but it wasn't a 7-Up or Sprite clone, either. A general 'Meh' all around.
