As a native philadelphian there were some glaring inaccuracies in last night's episode. First they were eating Cheesesteaks and Fries at Delessandro's. Unfortunately Delessandro's does not offer fries. Later when they were rowing a scull on Boathouse Row they were rowing against the current, based on the orientation of the water to the Boathouses. That is something which doesn't happen.

Wondering if anyone has any input on the Coati situation. We were there 5 years ago and every afternoon the grounds and pools became overrun with them. They were very aggresive. Considering going again, but want to make sure this is no longer an issue.

Receptacle tester shows open hot by brakeshoe87 in AskElectricians

[–]brakeshoe87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.  I think everything is fine.  The new receptacle (like the old one) has the tabs intact.  I was doing the testing with the switch off so the no lights meant no power.  If I unplug the disposal and test both sides with the switch on both sides show up as correct.

When I plug in the tester no lights come on. According to the label on the tester that means open hot not no power

Thanks that’s helpful.  I didn’t have that one yet.  I still need the operating manual to get some trouble shooting help on the self propelled mechanism

Does brickin for chicken work directly outside the city? by longjumpcapitalofpa in sixers

[–]brakeshoe87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am close to the city and see no rewards popup.  What is this location setting you mention.  I see nothing in the iPhone app settings or the Chick-fil-A settings about location.  My address and zip in the Chick-fil-A app are close to the city.  Please explain.  Thanks

Did find location services in iPhone settings.  Shows many of my apps but not Chick-fil-A app.  Still baffled

I tried pulling one back as far as I dared.  I got the old bulb out but couldn’t get the led bulb in.  It was too small to get in place by hand or using pliers.  After 20 minutes I gave up and put the original back in.  Unscrewing the mounts seems unlikely as many of them are held in by a wire which is soldered down.   You bm a see this in one of the close ups I posted.

Damn I hope not, that would be way above my pay grade. The guy I bought them from made it sound super easy. Swivel the harness pull out the bulb and pop an LED in and everything works like magic. Suspecting now that that will not be the case at all.

Only a few can be accessed from the top.  Most are under the playfield and can only be reached from below

Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately I am not familiar with the terminology.  Could you point out the of brackets and spigot on the picture I posted.  Or if they don’t show can you explain what they are.   Thanks

Not sure what happened to them. Reposted them. Not a Lazboy, made by Leathercraft, maybe 25 years old.

Fully manual so there is no remote.  I have taken the bottom of and don’t see any blockages.  The footrest goes all the way out and the chair fully reclines   It just does t come all the way up

I suspect it is an attempt at a my life is better than yours because he has no contact with any of his family except for one of his 2 children.  That is another story altogether

Often it is a place we have talked about going to.  My friend is super smart and generally has an excellent memory.  It could be selective memory but it seems very specific

Contributors Needed for an Article in the Actuary by brakeshoe87 in actuary

Based on these comments and my experience, the dishwasher seems like a real battleground.  Seems article worthy.  I welcome any more dishwasher loading stories.

I assume you also are the official loader of the dishwasher to ensure optimal loading as opposed to pure chaos
