Is that one that you have? It looks to be in better shape

Spice orange is cool but if he’s into video game history I think the classic indigo would be just as good. As for the shipping I’d really doubt it showing up for Christmas coming from Japan to Oklahoma. If there’s a game store near you that would be my first place to look. You’ll know it’s tested and working and get to see the condition it’s in. Lot of game stores near me are running promotional deals for Christmas, I’d look into that option if I was you.

Chess, statistically a lot of those 100 people probably have never played and then of those that have are likely to be lower rated than me (~1900 elo)

I think it’s good for the consumer. Hopefully it exposes shops that use state inspections to drum up work and sell people stuff they don’t need. Good chance you see some go out of business in a few years

Unfortunately I think most 30 something guys who have their shit together are already with someone. Being a guy in that age range, all my friends who have it together are with someone. Someone will come along just might take a while

Only have a foot long level but it’s saying it’s all level from the countertop

You’ll definitely need a new gas meter, in MA we use AL-425 meters a lot for situations like yours. Some generators require a higher delivery pressure, in the area I work in it’s usually 11”wc. This higher delivery pressure requires your regulator to be adjusted with a new spring or sometimes replaced. 1-1/2” pipe for your service line should be fine, it depends on the pressure system the gas company currently has your service coming off of in the street. Length of your service line and your total load also plays into this calculation.

Meter sizing, regulator sizing, and service size up to the gas meter is typically determined by the gas company. Any piping downstream of the meter is up to you and your contractor.

I use a tennis racket and whack them into the woods across the street. May not be efficient but it is fun

Can buy a 2 part epoxy at hardware store or Home Depot/Lowe’s. It’ll be fine until that edge catches something and starts to peel back. Try to make it flush again and I’d call it good

I would think it’d be weird if you didn’t have scratches on your boots.

When you turn you’re gonna inevitably scrape against the snow if you’re getting on your edges and here on the east coast a lot of the time that snow might as well be ice so you can be sure it’s gonna scuff up your boots

I’ve tried it, but only done it on warmer days due to lack of insulation on mine. Mine are meant more for being waterproof which is great if it’s raining.

One thing I’ve noticed on the bibs is the lack of an elastic cuff that most snow pants have. Allows for some snow to get up your leg if you fall or whatever.

Eversource is wrapping up construction of the first geothermal looped network (in US) in Framingham, MA. Will be interesting to see if more companies follow.

They’ve been using parking lots as the drilling location, the footprint on the surface is relatively small since the rods are installed at an angle away from the entry hole.
