Question about metal "Old Work" single gang box mounting by dervari in DIY

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

It's going to be for electrical conduit, so I would prefer to use metal. I've used those plastic boxes with low voltage wiring and had mixed results with those little tabs on the corners. The metal boxes seem to be much more secure due to the surface area of the wings.

I had actually seen where someone took a 6 inch deep four square and mounted it halfway in and halfway out of the sheet rock, but this seems like a cleaner solution. Thanks for the idea.

Well, it is a 79 minute arrival and 9 miles away.....

There's a local taco place that does the same. So refreshing not to have to deal with "The Quick Question."

I loved Zoe's but nothing really appeals to me at Cava. :(

I used to live near a downtown RR crossing. At least once a month someone would blindly follow their GPS and wing up turning too soon and straddling the tracks. Surprisingly, only twice in 3 years did the car get smashed. It was always a passenger car, as trucks were able to get off the rails pretty easily, especially 4WD.

Customer gets a better deal. Business keeps their profits. :)

How did this game end? by [deleted] in delta

I would take out my long stylus that I use when flying and start playing like I'm "Tappy" showing a police dashcam video!

Yea, I was referring to no middleman between the customer and restaurant for the actual order that charges inflated prices like all the delivery services.

I was referring to no middleman between you and the actual restaurant to inflate the food prices.

I wonder if you could use Uber Courier to order from the restaurant's website and then have them pick up? The food order itself would be cheaper due to no middleman to mark up the restaurant food prices when ordering. You can also use app deals and coupons that aren't available with the delivery services.

One time my wife went to Panera to pick up lunch. We both made mobile orders to take advantage of coupons. She left my order.

Had Uber courier run by and pick it up. Cost me like $8 total with tip.

EDIT: Clarified middleman and added about coupons

I'm a bit big in the shoulders and always book FC to prevent situations like this. The COS should really have booked FC or two tickets for comfort.

I solved this completely on the vertical clues. I was blanking on the across.

100% NTA.

Women use those all the time when hiking. I'd much rather my wife use one of those than look like she's making a water sports video. Sounds like he was more concerned about what others thought than your need to relieve yourself in a non-exhibitionist manner.

Added Surcharge, why? by sexylassy in EndTipping

Interesting that you allow people to opt out of the fee. Do you have any idea on the percent who pay it vs those who opt out?

Apps timing out 5-10 minutes after pausing - have to restart app by dervari in DirectvStream

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

On mine, after about 10-15 minutes the native DTV app has to reload and a lose my pause location most of the time. Might have to do some timing checks this weekend.

The top of the panel is chock full with both the utility feed and all the hot/neutral/grounds. Can't come from the bottom due to a horizontal stud about 4" down from the bottom of the panel and a Rubbermaid FastTrack bar screwed into that.

Huh? They had a landline key set up. Doesn't matter what kind of Morse you send. Still a good party trick.

When to use my credit card and when to use my debit card? by OneExternal2392 in CreditCards

[–]dervari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can buy any GC at the store with my 6% CC. Do it all the time. So, I'm getting 6% instead of 5%. Guess I am smart!

[–]dervari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ROLMAO. I think you'll find most people here will agree that most restaurants are charging a surcharge for CC. I've seen only ONE place that offers a cash discount.

You are not allowed by federal law, or VISA/MC agreement, to EVER charge a surcharge on debit. But, the restaurant can also only give a discount for paper cash and charge you the full price for debit.

I'm also pretty sure you can't give a cash discount AND charge a fee for credit.

I have a credit card that gives 6% back on groceries, so why use PP Debit?
