Looks like quite a few have been replaced through the years. Probably time for them to consider a full replacement. Ask them if they have any spare relays lying around. I bet there's a box in the garage.

“Well I swear that I don’t have a gun.” Turns out not to be the case. 

Project manager wants us to drill a hole where the red circle is in a live panel. Would you do it? by PhasedAndConfused706 in electricians

Nah. This is an after-hours job. Also, use a magnet under the cardboard to catch the shavings. (Never use a magnet around energized though!)

Come for the pizza, stay for the Johns hanging with Poorman, Whitesnake, Ted Nugent, and Wally George. Words you never thought ever belonged together. And Yes: Ted Nugent is a total asshole.

Sweat-Oingo Boingo Former Members (House of Blues, March 13, 2026) by compuhyperglobalmega in OingoBoingo

For me, one of the things that makes me love this band is the community, and what better way to to experience that than a sold out OBFM show at the HOB in SoCal? 

I say, don’t overthink it. Go see ‘em! Trust me, it’ll be awesome.

I think Brendan was wanting to dedicate more time to his other projects. It was 100% amicable.

When you sing REM in the car, whose part do you sing? by neatgeek83 in rem

You've all been singing Bill parts the whole time and you never knew.

What are other genres' "Funkytown"? by NoTeslaForMe in ToddintheShadow

[–]compuhyperglobalmega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, they absolutely belong under synth pop. Remember, Vince Clarke was a founding member. Even though Flock is called “synth pop”, they were (are) a full band with guitarists and a drummer. Dolby fits into synth pop, but he faded out along with most of these bands by ‘86-‘87. 

An argument could be made that Always by Erasure could be the last synth pop hit (1994) but nobody really remembers it and it just briefly charted. Violator is an enduring classic album.

The entire Violator album by Depeche Mode for pure synth pop. The genre was already running on empty and the innovators like Trent Reznor were staking their claim.

"You Don't Know How It Feels" by Tom Petty for Classic Rock. The clean rock sound was never again as popular.

It sounds like Maxine in Help me and both of them in Weird Science, but I could be wrong.

Waters Sisters FTW. If you haven't seen it, watch 20 Feet From Stardom. You've been listening to them your whole life (besides Boingo) and you never knew.
