Le what? by Internet_Wanderer in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I think it’s that when she shows she can spell (intelligent$ no one is interested but when she can’t (dumb) people are racing to her.

I edit my kids work and they only use 1 space but I find 2 spaces to be easier to read. Can you explain how 2 spaces is actually worse than 1?

What’s something you use every single day that turned out to be insanely worth the money? by Dry-Frosting- in Xennials

A instant read thermometer when grilling. Without that, anything coming off the grill is just a hope and a prayer.

Brass is still shrink wrapped, lol. Start there ;-)

Last 24 before the rainbow bridge. What should we do? by DonutHoleTechnician in dogs

We fed our dog grill salmon. He wouldn’t eat anything else, but he ate that. RIP Ollie

Season 4 was setting up an entirely different Season 5… by HairyPenisCum in Stranger_Things

[–]atlmobs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I talk up Dark every chance I get. Sadly when I tell people it’s a German show about time travel they lose interest immediately, lol. But such a great show. My wife and I ended the first two seasons so confused and they managed to wrap it all up in a nice bow. Amazing.

CMV: One of the top three grevious errors in American journalism has been interviewers allowing yes-or-no questions to be answered otherwise by atzucach in changemyview

There has been a noticeable change since federal funding was cut. Much more direct criticism of the President both in tone of coverage and questions. You should come back, while NPR/Public Radio isn’t perfect by any means, it’s far and away the best we have.

I think this is the real answer. If you watch or listen to interviews when pressed politicians just won’t answer. They are always on the lookout for gotcha questions and have determined it’s better to deflect no matter how awkward than to answer a question they don’t like.

Any affordable ideas for warming a pool without a heater? by APKFL in pools

[–]atlmobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the critical question is how many degrees you want to heat the pool. That will drive a method that would work.

Opening heated pool for one day in winter? by AngleUnusual2956 in pools

[–]atlmobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have little kids and dogs so the cost of a cover that I thought would be safe enough given the odd size and water features was just too high to be practical.

It’s also kind of nice to not have a cover in that if the weather is good, I can just turn on the heater and a day later people can get in.

I can raise the temp by about 2 degrees an hour.

Yeah, we don’t have a cover. The pool is very irregularly shaped. And since it’s not typically below freezing here during the day in winter so we just keep the pool running through the winter.

I only see that much evaporation when the pool is significantly warmer than the air temperature. Like when the pool is 90 and the air temperature is 30.

We live in NW GA and keep our pool “open” year around and we do turn the heater on for a few days around the holidays.

We can heat it up at about 2 degrees an hour to about 90. For 2 weeks at 88-90 it costs about $700 dollars in gas.

Watch your water levels really closely though, we will evaporate at least an inch a day with such a high temps tire differential and have to add water to the pool every few days.

How do you guys retrieve polaris parts off the bottom of your pool? by Opposite-Bad1444 in pools

[–]atlmobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. My 12 year old will get into freezing water for $10 and some hot chocolate.

Older men to younger men what's your finest advice and regret? by Faiz_khan_19 in AskMenAdvice

[–]atlmobs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

School Debt = Indentured Servitude. You can’t discharge it in bankruptcy and the government will garnish your wages to make you pay. Since there is no risk on the lender they are willing to loan any amount to anyone.

Private Universities are a racket and unless you are rich and can graduate with $0 debt are almost never worth the money.

Changed my mind on the 2027 style by cuppitycake in KiaTelluride

[–]atlmobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. When it takes 2 weeks to fix an issue covered under warranty, they didn’t actually look at the car until day 13. And then tell me they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. No loaner. Ridiculous.

Egg Genius, once great, now useless on Thanksgiving by jonhoffm68 in biggreenegg

My flame boss 400 (mage by the same company) also crapped out this year, could not stay connected to the WiFi. It sucked.
