  1. I had to update my direct deposit info. Even though the IRS seemed to be able to pull the money I owed them out of the account 4 days ago...
  2. IRS released their website to check the status of your stimulus check and update direct deposit info if needed: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment
  3. Double check the outside shutoff near the compressor and the circuit breaker, the compressor is on a separate one from the rest of the furnace. If that isn't it my uneducated bet would be the start capacitor on the compressor.
  4. The numbers are all listed here:
  5. As confirmation I have a coworker who has all the symptoms but it's a fairly mild case so far. Even though he works in a hospital he doesn't do direct patient care so they would not order a test for him. He's quarantined at home, living in his basement actually to try not to infect the rest of his family.
  6. Just avoid handling other peoples balls and you aren't likely to catch anything. It's just good general life advise as well.
  7. Thanks Rick. The Meijer on 665 in Grove City has kept stock really well in everything but hand sanitizer over the past few weeks.
  8. The problem isn't the mortality rate of the virus by itself. This issue is when you combine how infectious it is, the ability to spread while not showing symptoms, and the rate at which it causes breathing issues that require medical intervention. If the spread is completely uncontrolled the spike of infections will overwhelm the healthcare system. So if the mortality rate is normally 2% but medical intervention is needed in 10% of cases what happens to the people that need medical help when there is no more. Then we have to start making triage decisions about who gets treated and leaving the rest to recover on their own(or likely not). This will cause a huge spike in the mortality rate. Healthy young people, ok sure you're not going to die from it and it's just a flu. That still doesn't lessen the effect of spreading it too quickly and us losing a portion of our population measured in whole number percentages. If we wait to try to contain it until the healthcare system is stressed then we waited about a week too long. The next much larger round of patients would already be infected and spreading it, just not showing symptoms yet. There is no containment possible, the only goal is to slow the spread and smooth out the spike.

    There are 3 license levels: Tech - 35 questions General - 35 Questions Extra - 50 Questions You have to pass each level to qualify for the next test, you can do multiple test on the same day assuming you pass. The questions are pulled from pools. Tech is mostly rules and regulations and very basic radio theory. I studied for a while and did tech and general on the same day. There is quite a bit more info in Extra so i just never got back to it.

    I have a general class license. I only have a handheld though, haven't used it in a long time.
  11. We ate at the one on Greenlawn and it was pretty good.
  12. I have these on the factory wheels for my Mustang. They have done great including coming down the mountain at Snowshoe in an early fall snow storm.
  13. Installing tracking software on her phone is much more likely. There is also no guarantee that he has not put a 3rd party GPS tracker somewhere in the car. Park the car at work, lock phone in car, take a taxi with cash.
  14. We have 5 acres in Franklin. The 7 houses on our little dead end road are surrounded by Battelle Darby Metro Park public hunting land. The Metro park doesn't allow coyote hunting so there are tons of them. We even have a permanent tree stand that can be used.
  15. According to Credit Karma you average credit account age should be over 7 years. If you decide to buy something on credit, even if it isn't in the near future, you can't get a few 7 year old accounts in 6 months.
  16. An error occurred. Please try again later.
  17. I have a set of these on the Mustangs factory wheels that I put on in winter. They've done great for an all season. On the fall really last year I ended up leading the pack down from Snowshoe in a near whiteout. Made me super happy I took the time to swap before the trip.
  18. I'm not sure about the S10 but on my Note 8 I use an app call bxActions to remap the stupid Bixby button to Google Assistant.
  19. I had a friend that started a design job at a union. He walked into his office on the first day and his computer was sitting there not hooked up. So he started to put it together, someone let him know he can't do that. He sat there for 3 weeks waiting on someone to plug his computer in. Efficiency FTW!
  20. I took all of them. Limiting factor was really the rails to mount them. Thanks Wagner!
  21. You can get $50 from AEP if no one wants it: https://www.aepohio.com/save/residential/programs/ApplianceRecycling.aspx
  22. We just bought a house built in the 60s with lots of land. I have years before I can get to sweet boredom.
  23. Last time I looked into this I decided if I was going to do it I would do tile. Laying floor tile is easy with a mixer for the thin set. Just find some cheap tile that isn't slippery when wet. As long as there are no air gaps in the thin set the tile isn't as prone to cracking as you would think. Watched a video of a guy trying to bust up a section to add a lift and he was hammering the hell out of each tile before it broke. Bonus is if you did manage to break one you can chip it out and put a new one in.
