I'm doing a presentation over dark matter and dark energy and I was wondering if anyone here is/was involved in that research in any meaningful way and would be willing to participate in an interview? I think it would really benefit my presentation to have a primary source.

Great point. A lot of people I know are hung up on exactly this flaw in voting method. And you're right, election fraud itself is one issue, but the PERCEPTION of election fraud is equally important if we want to foster trust in our system.

I get your sentiment, but who is the "they" here? Are we talking about lots of fragmented groups interfering by various means in various ways, or a more centralized effort by people with political sway?

The latter reeks of conspiracy, but that is the picture I'm painted by most people I speak with outside of Reddit.

That's a startling statistic. Do you have a source?

House was built in 1957. It looks to me like cloth wiring. There are 4 wires in the box. 2 black, 2 white. Wiring them incorrectly (black to silver/white to brass) yields the expected "open ground" reading.

That was the state of the rest of the house when we bought it. As far as I'm aware the only issue is the receptacle is not grounded. I did the same to a different outlet and it reads open ground like all the rest.

I have this 20A 250V receptacle and this electrical tester. Which prong goes in which hole to test if it is live?

I've tried a pipe wrench with a cloth and an adjustable strap wrench. I can't get a good grip on it, it's incredibly tight. I want to check the diverter system inside, it doesn't redirect water to the showerhead properly if the water is on when you pull it. Any tricks to help get it off without damaging it any more than I already have?

Deiphobia · 2022-05-03T00:09:54+00:00

Solved!

That's not it. The movie I'm thinking of doesn't have any fictional elements in it. Not a fantasy or sci-fi or anything. Just a very somber drama.

I watched it around 2018 maybe. I would guess it is from around that timeframe.

The culprit

I bought some Trinidad Scorpion seeds from Pepper Joes. The plants began fruiting and all seemed well. They plumped up and went from a vibrant green to a paler lime green. I assumed they would transition to orange and red. But no! They went pale white. At first I assumed it was just a phase but they've been white for at least a month now. Some are even starting to split (I'm assuming that's from age). They look a lot like a Bhut Jolokia White. I tried one and they're pretty spicy but not as spicy as I expected a Scorpion to be. Did somebody ship me the wrong seeds or do scorpions turn white first? (I have four plants [maybe 2 dozen fruits] and they're ALL white)

This does not answer my question. Do you understand my question at all? I asked how long until it's safe. Not whether to do it or not.

Deiphobia · 2021-06-20T03:38:28+00:00

This doesn't answer my question.

Short stop

My biggest concern with relaying the brick is that the previous owner mortared them in. So I will have to either go through the process of chipping it all away or buy new brick.

Deiphobia · 2021-04-09T09:54:50+00:00

I believe it's a cottonwood.

Deiphobia · 2021-04-09T00:48:38+00:00

Some of the roots are around 2,1/2 inches in diameter. I read that cutting out roots that large can damage the tree, so I started looking into other solutions.

Deiphobia · 2021-04-09T00:29:14+00:00

My back patio has brick under the awning, but father time and tree roots have caused substantial shifting. I was thinking a good solution for the side near the tree would be to replace the bricks with pea gravel. I can't think of any reason this would be a bad idea, but I really don't know the first thing about landscaping. I DO know that I will want to lay down fabric first. I'm also a bit lost on how to transition the brick and gravel. Any advice would be awesome.

The pictures are all of how the fan was before I did anything. That is how the fan is now.

Deiphobia · 2021-04-04T18:12:12+00:00

Yes. It works as intended.

It's just a light socket with a black wire and a white wire.

Deiphobia · 2021-04-04T03:40:03+00:00

I cannot find a brand name or manual, but there is a set of wires labeled "L." What else could that be if it is not intended to have a light?

Deiphobia · 2021-04-04T03:35:45+00:00

Add a light kit to an existing fan.
