Re: PODCAST: YDKF Episode 231: Elio

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.

Ghostbusters 2 trading cards

I didn't know these even existed, but then, I never thought about it either. I suppose there's trading cards for most movies, with the exception of 50 Shdes of Gray. When I was a kid The Six Million Dollar Man trading cards were the 'in' thing. ( six million bucks won't buy you a decent fighter plan...

Re: PODCAST: Rando Rob 0051 – A Shrunken Head

It's hearing stuff like this that makes the O'Hara coolness factor go off the charts.

Quick show of hands, everyone. How many other grandmothers have sent shrunken heads in the mail?

I seriously believe that is a unique occurrence in the history of the world.
