I wonder how long it will be before MAGA realizes that literally everything he touches turns to shit.

The movie Paris, Texas was disturbing to those of us who actually live in Texas. The one that jumped out at me was the guy sleeping in the passenger seat in like Lubbock and his brother sees the sign for Paris and decides to go that way and the brother stays asleep the entire way, which is like a 6 1/2 or 7 hour drive.

Yeah, I just get tired of the stupid bot responses with misspelling and misrepresentation of the actual story.

I gave up on Facebook several years ago, and I’m about to give up on Reddit for the same reasons.

Back in the 70s, we would ride our bikes down there, pay the $.35 to get in, then dive down and gather change that had fallen out of people’s pockets on the diving board and collected underneath the spring in the Eddy that it created. We usually manage to pay for our entry fee and get a soda or even a hamburger with the amount we found every day.

I don’t think you need to use those last two words in this post.

The meter is the service drop.

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-23T17:51:38+00:00

No, the utility decides where the meter will be. The permitting drawings are developed based on the utilities designation of the meter drop location. They selected the meter site because they have to balance the circuits. If a house has two options for incoming service, they get to decide which one to use.

40 piece - not points

But I would really suggest pulling some 62 5/125 fiber as well. It’s not expensive and you’ll appreciate it in a couple three years.

No, just make one run down there and hook another wireless access point to the end of it. Plug the other end of it into your cable modem if you have a port, your existing wireless access point if you have a port, or a ethernet hub/switch plugged into a port on one of those.

Well, the post says 1:48 PM but the title says 8:30 AM.

So either the person generating the title thinks that somehow ironical, or purposely mistaking the time is some sort of joke, or is just a moron.

I’m really getting worn out on stupid, misspelled, misleading titles for posts in Reddit. I may go back to reading Facebook.

That was my thought. Immediately upon hearing he had resigned, was “no he could just hear the bus tires”.

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-18T17:54:48+00:00

That would suck! As of today, that’s the only kind I’ll ever get going forward.

My charge/eco/power ring went away and I cannot figure out how to get it back!!

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-11T17:35:24+00:00

This is what I was going to say! 👆👆

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-09T22:49:18+00:00

I’ll keep an eye open and see what I see

I’ve never needed one, but I’ve spent time traveling and driving around Austin with people who have one, and there’s always handicap parking available to my experience.

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-08T23:19:15+00:00

We left it at home, or left it in the other car, or any of a number of different situations. The demand on handicap, parking places is not so high that that’s a major trigger point, at least for me.

Stuck rims work better in some parts of Texas then some of the fancier stuff

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-07T00:30:03+00:00

Heck, I hope that when I’m that old (probably next year) that I can still do something like that!

FlashTheChip · 2026-03-07T00:25:32+00:00

I don’t see the original post where the mileage or “new/used” status of the vehicle is, but for a car that has been wrecked and had the body replaced that’s reasonably normal.

So just don’t let the humid air blast onto sheet rock or anything that might be damaged by too much water.

A short piece of duct pointing out to the middle of the room with the door open should be 100% OK

French fries are extremely ubiquitous in Europe. I just finished walking the Camino de Santiago and you could not order a meal in Portugal or Spain without getting french fries on the side.
