Re: BigRobsVan: Building a Desk | BRV027

I bought a laser printer from Amazon a few years ago. It only prints in black and white, it was clearly marked in the product description. Scrolling through the FAQ section I noticed there must have been twenty people asking if it printed in color. Every time the answer was: no, it only prints in bl...

Now that was funny! The way you just looked at that tweet on the screen and went F-it, and made the whole thing a silent movie. I was half expecting dialog cards like a Charlie Chaplin film. Seriously though, don't bow down to the 'tards on Social Media, give 'em a double middle finger and do the vi...

This is the 'sweat equity' part of a big project, doing all the things that you know need to get finished but are really labor intensive and tedious.

So is it a scam? It reminds me of the Phantom console. I bet Mr. Elio got in too deep too fast and he just wasn't savvy enough to understand what it takes to really build cars. Hell, even Henry Ford was a better mechanic than a businessman.

Re: BLOG: Our Five-Year-Old Hot Water Heater Broke

To prevent the tank from rusting or your heater element from corroding, the brilliant plumbers and chemists of long ago created a sacrificial rod for the water heater tank. The idea was that the anode rod would corrode first, leaving the metal of the tank (and element if you have an electric water ...

Re: BLOG: Our Five-Year-Old Hot Water Heater Broke

We could all switch over to the tankless style of water heaters, except that they are twice the price and more difficult to install. Until the industry fixes those two things we all have to suffer with 100 year old technology

Re: BigRobsVan: Worrying About the Weather

Yep! Even mowing the lawn has temperature parameters any more. Too cold or too hot? It can wait a week.

Every year I have a contest with myself to see how long I can hold out until the furnace gets turned on. Every year it gets turned on earlier.

Re: PODCAST: YDKF Episode 227: Movie SPFX Part 2

There was a quote, back in the 90s, I can't remember it verbatim ( no google) but iw along the lines of: in the future there won't be a category of computer crimes, all crimes will be computer crimes.

Basically saying that computers will be involved in everything, just like special effects.
