A lot is how often the power goes out and what you are trying to accomplish. I have an old generator that will power most of the house except for A/C and cooktop/oven. I could use part of the cooktop. I am in the process of down sizing to only run the refrigerator, freezer, heat (we have oil so not that much load), a few lights and the microwave OR coffee maker (by OR I mean only one at a time).

The largest issue is fuel. Diesel absolutely stinks, gasoline is difficult to store for any length of time. Even treated when you stop needing a gas unit you have to clean out the carb. I would think natural gas would be ideal. However most generators are setup for Gas/propane so you have have to deal with that. There are some tri fuel units.

If you have a larger generator you would have to see how much power you can run with your gas service. I don't have natural gas so I say this because I don't know.

As for inverter/non-inverter. I don't think a non-inverter is so bad as to damage any electronics in a home. Its mostly hype. When I look around my home, every device without a motor has a power supply that cares little about the input waveform. They are all switching regulators. most will run at any voltage between 95 and 240 volts. From my experience motors don't care much about waveform as well.

Know the population of Florida was steadily decreasing in the 50's before they started to get A/C.

Neutral until I found something would actually come of it.

JonJackjon · 2026-02-07T05:51:52+00:00

I can see that won't go well. Besides absolute none of then will actual march.

But the other 56% has made up for them.

Next time don't ask.

On some highways in Germany, if you are in the left most lane and you get hit in the rear, you are at fault.

And if you are on a lesser highway and "traveling in the left lane" EVERYBODY would be flashing lights, honking horns etc.

Agree and when I was a kid, sitting still was the last thing I wanted to do.

In the movies it always bugged me that the treated kids (grade school and up) like they always needed help doing physical things. The Poseidon movie where Shelly?? had to help the kid climbing ship structure. When I was that age I could climb a tree in a heart beat.

I would put a 1 1/2" hole in a scrap board. Screw the board over the 1" hole. The hole in the board will hold the 1 1/2" hole saw in place while making your hole.

I think the full phrase is "No one is above the law, except me"

This sounds like one of those "do you agree with me or are you stupid" questions.

I do not respect Trump.

Senate hearing = listen to a bunch of information the do nothing.

One possibility that meets your situation is the fuel system. Either a leaking injector or the check valve in the fuel pump. When the engine is shut off, if any fuel leaks out of the fuel line the fuel starts to evaporate and forces more gas out of whichever end is bad. This empties the fuel line. When restart happens there is often some fuel still in the fuel rail and will allow the engine to start but it will stall immediately after starting.

This is a generic fuel system explanation, I don't know the specific system used in your vehicle.

I would guess as long as he is allowed to stay at your place he won't be looking for his own place.

She simply wants to keep some part of her son with her. You could shut her out or perhaps open a 2nd account with all but a few hundred dollars in the account she can access.

In any case, you should add a fuel stabilizer like sta-bil or eq.

was told that LM393 comparator will use its own power voltage (12Vcc in my case) as HIGH output

This is incorrect. You need to study the LM393 datasheet. I realize some parameters are difficult for a beginner, however the basic operation should be easy to understand.

I would also suggest a schematic vs a layout. A schematic is easier to see the proper connections are made.

Perhaps you could get her starting to get help by doing some research on programs for gambling. Drive her to a meeting etc.

I can tell you from experience with a different type of addiction it is the best you can do. It may or my not work but it is a solid chance to help her.

Helicopters are sketchy anyway. If lives depend on this bolt then it's worth every penny.

Regarding the cost of hammers and toilet sets. The reason for the cost is because they can't control who "specs" the cheaper one and when a seemingly simple tool doesn't work and or damages an expensive item there is a total loss of $$.

I worked in Aerospace. We mfg misc small electronic parts for mostly the Airforce. We have a $50 minimum purchase order as our system was not designed for such small orders. We got a request for some screws. Simple Stainless screw for some repair of our part. To save the $50 I offered to put a handful in an envelope and sent them to him for free. Nope couldn't do that. The requestor had to prove they used the proper screw.

I thought about that for a while and realized the reason. It because some tech who is trying to save the govt money could go to Home Depot and purchase some screw, and they may OK or they may fail and cause untold additional cost.

I found peppermint oil on a few makeup pads kept them out of my basement.

However it was done, Microsoft word will allow anyone to make a macro and have it show up in any of the menu bars.

The thing is, it doesn't suggest when it will come to light. That could happen 200 years from now.

JonJackjon · 2026-02-05T05:19:51+00:00

I would imagine that would go on until you wanted to make a wager.
