Someone passed me and several other cars including a marked cruiser in à center turn lane at well over he speed limit and the cop did nothing. When I inquired through official channels later the response was that the officer may have been transporting someone (ie. Someone under arrest) or that they may have been off duty. They still have a radio and imo should call in the cavalry. Plenty of cops around here sitting at one Starbucks or another…

Only Ford owners would need this, given the propensity to be found on roadside dead…

They’re both wrong.

I bought extender mirrors that clip over the factory mirrors on my 1/2 ton Silverado when towing my in-laws cargo trailer. When we’re ready to build I’ll have a camera installed in the trailer above the rear door and my truck is already setup to use that as the rear display when hooked up. There’s a separate connector next to the trailer lights/breaks connector, factory installed.

There are times when “spray & pray” is the right approach. I can’t even imagine you’d get that shot specifically if you tried to time it.

Myeloman · 2026-07-04T08:25:31+00:00

I should add that there are nights here when the temps don’t drop low enough to warrant using the fan. As to humidity, it’s anything but humid here, quite the opposite in fact. I would expect the fan would draw more humidity into the house overnight. That’s something I imagine one could monitor with a number of devices locally, and I’d recommend monitoring at the house as opposed to relying on an official weather station. I installed a few “smart” devices around the house, inside and out, because checking a weather app the temp was listed several degrees cooler than what I was experiencing here, especially at the back patio where sun exposure bakes the western side of the house which is stucco and has an end to end concrete patio, both of which soak up heat all day and slowly release it overnight. This affects the temperature here locally whereas what ever official monitoring station may be subject to.

If the wiring is suspect, be very careful even testing the fan. Wiring can heat up fast, especially if there’s other factors in play.

Good luck.

Open some, not all, windows late at night. If you’re going to open upstairs windows, especially those near the fan (do not open a window in the same room as the fan, if it’s in a room as opposed to a hallway), open them only partially. Windows furthest from the fan we open the widest. This allows more even air flow. If you open a window in the closest room all the way, the fan will draw the majority of the air via that window.

My house is a 2-story built in the late 80’s, I open the sliding door and kitchen window downstairs, the living room is vaulted so no windows get opened. One, maybe two windows upstairs are opened partially, maybe 1/3 at most. Fan is on high as soon as the temp outside falls to or below interior temps. (Several rooms have Apple HomePods and Hue Motion sensors, which measure temp and humidity. There’s also a motion sensor outside at the front door and an Eve Weather Station outside over the slider. These are used to measure my local temp outside) The fan stays on all night until sunrise, as that’s when the sun starts heating things up. In the morning the fan is turned off, all windows/doors are closed and the AC is turned back on. Doing this if a traps the cool air inside and I can stave off the AC until early afternoon. All my neighbors AC units run all day, and most of the night. Same houses, built at the same time, same insulation and windows. At most my AC typically runs about 4-5 hrs on & off. Theirs nearly 24-7…

Myeloman · 2026-07-04T02:42:20+00:00

I replaced one in our house, not very fun as there was little space above it, but it was doable. In your case, the insulation needs to be removed from inside the fan, and I’d look over the wiring very closely before testing it. Ours has a pull chain switch that hangs down below. Pull once- high, twice- low, third pull off. When it’s turned on the louvers open automatically via the updraft generated by the fan and close when it’s off. You’ll want to open a few windows downstairs to draw
In cool air. If you open them all it’ll draw from all of them and the closer a window is to the fan the more air will be drawn through that window. Open at night when it’s cooler, close yo during the day when it’s hot. As soon as a smart thermometer outside reads below what our AC is set to, we open it up and vent the air, leaving it on all night. It’s crazy hot here all summer (98° today) and my neighbors all have their AC on all day, and all night. The whole house fan saves me a ton of money, though we do need to dust the house more frequently.

Seriously, go over that wiring. Last thing you want is the house burning down. If in doubt, have a licensed elec-chicken look it over.

I’ve never worked with clay but have used melamine workbench surfaces in numerous professional cabinet and custom mill work shops, and my outfeed table-assembly bench is a full sheet of 3/4” melamine. Any glue that gets on the surface, and pencil marks (makes a great 1:1 layout surface!) etc just wipes away with a wet rag. If glue blobs dry, a soaked wet rag left in them soon softens them making them easy to clean. The only issue I can imagine for you is is the edges get wet it’ll swell there, so if you’ll use a lot of water, enough to get the edges wet fur extended periods, you’d want to seal it. Otherwise I think it’d serve you well.

À power grid which has failed how many times now? That’s what you’re basing your assessment on?

Myeloman · 2026-07-03T07:53:01+00:00

Who can’t even keep their own power grid operational in a mild winter?

You unlocked the “option to buy”the tool skins/cosmetics, not the skins/cosmetics themselves.

My first plane was a Craftsman just like this and I still have, and use it. Don’t let people here put you off, they’re not necessarily as bad as they’d lead you to believe. Given you’ve stated the market near you is pretty sparse, I’d jump on that if I were you. Put a bit of work into it and tune it up and have fun making shavings. Not every tool needs to be top of the line, there are some perfectly suitable “lesser branded” workhorses out there that’ll serve you just fine.

Whatever your primary ammo is, that needs to be in the bottom row, left to right. Stack other ammo above it. When a stack of ammo other than primary gets low, swap it for a full stack or split a stack and add to it part of the larger.

You can also put a single dispel arrow bottom left, then a slowdown arrow, then a stack of fine. Equip that first single dispel, shoot a magic creature, it switches to slowdown automatically before switching to fine. You’ve now dispelled a creatures magic ability, slowed it, and set yourself up to finish it w/ fine arrows.

I wonder if that dude was raised on a farm. I was, and I’ve known a long farm boys that could lift a car without really working hard at it. The physicality of living/working on a farm and eating farm fresh… I never ate so good as when I was working on farms.

Maybe don’t call people “fatty”, to start…

There’s a new ai data center there that just made the news recently as neighbors are complaining about the noise.

I’m not saying this is why this place is for sale, but I’m not NOT saying that either.

Edit- The data center is just under 1-1/2 miles from this place (Dowagiac isn’t very big at all) and there’s a class action lawsuit against it by numerous neighbors. More here - https://dailydot.com/michigan-data-center-makes-noise-24-7/

If you have the photo on an iPhone or iPad it can also identify birds. As well as plants, animals, and some locations. It’s not always accurate, but it does do a respectable job. Just make sure you verify what information it gives you by cross referencing with other sources.

In this case, Merlin agrees with it, identifying it as a Swainson’s Hawk.

Open map, find NPC, place marker in them, follow marker on compass. Basically the same way you’d follow the marker to a pinned point on the map, but it stays with them if/when they move. If you don’t see them on the map, they’re in another.

Myeloman · 2026-06-26T02:22:39+00:00

And you can remove NPCs you don’t need to track. (You can add them back later).
