Welp. This was great. You are now, if I can trust the numbers, on the 14th one of these and we can see that you're getting comfortable with the format. I liked that you are doing your own thing here and you are acknowledging the differences in your scene, this vanlife scene, but also stating that yo...

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

The anode rod is "self-sacrificing" and will continue to corrode until eventually it must be replaced. When there's no sacrifical metal left on the anode, the tank can rust out - which is why it is so important to change yours regularly. It ... it just corrodes away silently. Right? There...

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

Semi-related, I think it should be against social media rules to suggest actions to take or solutions that you have not successfully done yourself. To say "you should sue the homebuilder," you must have previously successfully sued a homebuilder for something similar. Someone said I shoul...

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 Ok, what if instead of having the water touch a substance that can make i...

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

Things could have been worse. Back in the late 90s after Susan and I moved back from Spokane, we had the hot water tank in our house completely fail. The bottom of the tank rusted through, sending 30 gallons of water into both the garage and our bedroom, completely soaking the carpet and making a b...

Here's how things went -- Amazon issued me a refund in about 15 minutes. I can't say I am a huge fan of how they trapped several workers at a building during the approach of an oncoming tornado, under the threat of them losing their jobs, which resulted in several people dying and absolutely zero c...

I wouldn't say I live in fear of items catching fire, but I would prefer they don't. I gotta think, yeah, there aren't too many devices I would risk keeping it for.

Aw, thanks man! I think this might be the first official feedback I got from the book. I'm glad the "growth" aspect came through. I have been defending the stories in Commodork for 15 years now. I think a lot of people had trouble separating the 30-year-old author from the 15-year-young m...

Great question! It's a companion piece to Commodork, so think of it as a "where are they now" piece that lines up chapter by chapter to the original. When it's done, I'll be providing free PDF copies to all members of The Gas Chamber. After the bundle ends, I'll be offering it as a PDF, p...

Re: RM Ep. III “Black Sabbath”

I am going to throw out an opinion and then never come back to defend it. I think Billy Idol is TERRIBLE. He dresses up like a tough guy, but his songs are all the softest shit I've ever heard. Mony Mony may be the worst song of all-time. I realize he covered it, but he did it poorly as well. What a...

I've told Flack this before, but I think BASIC did set me back. I think it has more to do with a certain personality type. Or the way I add new information into my brain, maybe. I needed subsequent languages to "prove" their worth to me, but if I am thinking of how much easier something wa...
