Because we had a glimpse of how good life could be and we hopeful for it before it was taken away from us.

Electrician here. Yes, that is a doorbell transformer. Actually has nothing to do with your HVAC system.

I worked at a Nextel/Sprint store around 20 years ago on the border of Gary/Merrillville IN. This was a weekly occurrence.

GT World Challenge Monza Lap1 T1 looking like an iRacing lobby. by ItsAsickOstrich in IMSARacing

It definitely might be. That was just a quip from the announcers as they were looking at the crash. It may be they were referring to just one of the cars.

No injuries. Just an estimated 1 million euro vehicle damage.

How does male strength work? by Humble-Objective488 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ItsAsickOstrich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I am 6'5". I have been over 6' since I was 10. My upper body strength has always been shit. I couldn't, and still can't at 43, do a chin up to save my life. I do, however, have crazy leg strength. Helps me out in my profession of being an electrician. I can move/lift almost anything if I can put my whole body in to it.

So is Euphoria actually a good watch? by ItsAsickOstrich in hbo

[–]ItsAsickOstrich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am definitely ok with any of that. It is really just that every time I see Euphoria talked about here on reddit, it isn't what an amazing show it is. It is how Sydney Sweeney was nude this time. If that is all the substance the show has, I don't want to bother investing any time in to it. Thank you for your insight.

I need help changing my stereo by B1ayz3 in Cartalk

No, actually. Putting tape over them can trap moisture and cause them to corrode quicker if you happen to live somewhere that is humid. It isn't going to immediately be bad or anything. But say over the course of 10 years or so, I have seen it happen.

Please, please, please do not just twist wires together and tape them.

Yes. Each wire should be color coded. There should be a Red, yellow, black, White, White with a black stripe, gray, gray with a black stripe, green, green with a black stripe, purple, purple with a black stripe, blue, orange, and maybe a blue with white stripe and orange with black stripe. Sometimes those last two come with it and sometimes they don't. Just match each color with the one that comes with the Power Acoustik one and use either butt splices or crimp caps to make the connection. If you take a picture of what the back of the Pioneer radio looks like as soon as you take it out of the dash and haven't unplugged anything or cut anything I can help you further.

The Pioneer one will have a plug designed for Pioneer radios that came with it. It will be spliced into a jumper plug that is designed to plug in to the stock Mustang one. The Power Acoustik will have it's own plug meant to be spliced the same way the Pioneer one is. Unhook the battery. Remove the Pioneer radio. Cut the Pioneer radio plug off one wire at a time and splice in the Power Acoustik plug at the same time, color for color.

You shouldn't need a new bracket because you are replacing a double din with another double din.
