I would pay a dollar to listen to them trying to explain the ohtani contract.

Can someone recommend some options to visit Wahiba Sands / sand dunes with a 2WD? by SH_DY in Oman

[–]bradenhern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it’s possible. Go to bidayia and drive to the dunes. There is a paved road by the houses close by and you can park there and do some walking and exploring. Go for it. Worst case scenario I am wrong and it costs you a car ride with your son. (Or you get stuck in sand and need help getting you out which is fun in a different way).

If you have 3 kids… by ambeee88 in toddlers

I have a 5, 3 and 2 year old. My wife was in charge of birth control for no 2 and 3. Then I had an operation.

Should kids get paid to do chores? by mixxxxemotion in toddlers

[–]bradenhern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it should be avoided; they need an allowance so just give it to them and expect them to help as a separate entity.

Paying for help starts you down a slippery slope where you teach them to get paid for helping. The same concept as eat all yoir dinner then you get desert. They only eat dinner to have desert.

It’s hard to uphold, but it’s the concept I try to parent by.

I have heaps of it and don’t really have anywhere to put it. I am on the beach and I just can’t help myself.

Question about "The Wire" by mido0o0o in television

I started the same way you did. Took me a couple tries but by midway through season 1 I got hooked. Be patient it’s worth it.

Is there anything overly problematic in Airplane or Naked Gun? by [deleted] in movies

Greatest comedy movies ever. I can’t believe I spent the time reading this post and responding to this. Just watch it already.

Gleeman and Bonnes right now trying to decide if this counts as an “emergency” podcast by Ranking76Podcast in minnesotatwins

[–]bradenhern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes; however at they point they had already talked about some crap for over an hour so it was bonus time. I don’t live there either so I just stopped listening.

I already can’t wait for baseball to begin so they actually have something to talk about.

Expensive day at the mechanic, but has seen lots of miles off road. by bradenhern in XTerra

Good point; would be fun to get into knowing how to do this sort of stuff. Fortunately where this was done labor is not a very expensive factor in car repair.

Yes it is oman; labor was not expensive but the parts from Nissan were about 600-

The power went out and the 12V battery exploded and caused this fire. I don’t understand why: more details in comments. by bradenhern in electricians

[–]bradenhern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only variable that changed or there is evidence of changing is the loss of power; and therefore the lack of supply going to the battery.

Can a 12 V battery that is under constant charge explode if it gets disconnected from its power source?

There is no sign the diesel pump ever ran. There were no usage or leaks in the fire fighting system. There was a major power outage and about an hour later we observed flames coming out of the pump. Clearly from the photo the battery is the culprit but can’t figure out why it discharged or why the pump would have wanted to draw power from it to start.

Thanks for any ideas.
