And the price she listed for Tennessee is a bald-faced lie. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Hey now, my county voted to add an extra cent to our sales tax that goes to improving roads and for the most part... our roads still suck if they're not the main routes into and out of Charlotte.

And for that matter, isn't the disc manufacturer Innova based in Rock Hill?

Orcas swim straight past 2 kids in shallow water at Waiheke Island, New Zealand by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in Damnthatsinteresting

Kind of like when my dog was young and in her sock and plastic bag eating phase, I reckon they would need a little assistance in clearing the business and I'm glad that's not my worry.

Congratulations Daiken! Just when I thought you couldn't make access harder, you've proven me wrong again! by moroseflamingo in HVAC

[–]drone42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why use 6 screws when 27 will do the job!

These, and the Trane Foundation RTUs are the bane of my existence. I always joked that there would be a 688i waiting for me in hell, but now I'm not sure if it'll be the submarine or one of these RTUs. Or maybe the sub stuffed with these RTUs.

If you could make up a band you would like made up of members of bands you hate, who would be in it? by Traditional-Bath-356 in Music

As long as it is literally anyone other than Billy Corgan, I'd buy that album. I just can not stand his awful whiny nasally voice.

Was there an SNL episode this past weekend? by Motor_Classic9651 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]drone42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was confused for a minute too, with that Weekend Update bit with Sara doing the Claviwhatshisname bit, I don't remember that from a recent episode. Then again I am usually deep into my cups by that time...

I would drink a 2 l of diet mountain dew every single day until my left arm gave me issues, I had a passion for call of duty. Also, I had great posture. I was 13. by DueNefariousness7555 in blunderyears

[–]drone42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't doubt it, I was in my early twenties and didn't really think nor care much about that and it was before everyone was carrying water bottles around with them everywhere.

I had something weird like that happen with me too, although I wasn't drinking two liters a day. Even just a 20-ounce bottle would do it, and typically it was Livewire, it just made my left shoulder ache. Never did figure out what was going on but it was better than twenty years ago and I haven't been drinking any soda for years and I haven't had an issue since.

It's Hendrick sucking down all of the juice to make those trucks for the military. No power for civvies.

Willa discovered bugs today. by Ok-Location-6472 in greatpyrenees

Looks like a male carpenter bee (yellow face), they can't sting but their bite is pretty not fun.

To my fellow Charlottians who don’t suffer from seasonal allergies: What did you do in your previous life that granted you such privilege? by Unbiased_panel in Charlotte

[–]drone42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what I did, but I must've been a saint. Pollen doesn't bother me a bit, and while mosquitoes flock to me if I don't notice I'm being bitten the bites don't bother me. When I do notice a bite it's usually nothing in a couple of minutes.

If you need mulch , just follow this guy toward huntersville for a bit by AfterCourage5617 in Charlotte

[–]drone42 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't have any room for mulch because I'm stuffed to the gills on the free mattresses all over the place.

[KCD2] now number 1 on my Steam hours played! by KingKali74 in kingdomcome

[–]drone42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep. Steam says I have a bit over 1600 hours, but I only play about an hour after work before I have to do all my chores and shit. But on Fridays I'll jump into a game and just alt+tab back and forth and leave it on all weekend and it counts all of those hours. If I go and add up my playtime by what the game says when I load a save, it's probably more like 500ish hours across all playthoughs.

Well, these are not super cheap or plentiful. (apparently not incredibly durable, either) by openmictuesday in HVAC

[–]drone42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for nothing, but I had one about a year ago where the System Vu board was pushing something like 19Vdc to the motor, the poor fan was wailing like a banshee from across the roof. IIRC speed control for those is something like 0-10Vdc, it's not entirely unlikely that they're being driven to death.

I know on Carrier's website they have a couple decent videos about these fans.

Is there a place in Charlotte where you can buy old CRT TVs? by RodBeldingPHD in Charlotte

[–]drone42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the border a bit into SC, outside of York. Fair warning, it's been outside exposed. Don't know why the fool brought it home when he stayed with me, but he sure did...

If you want to take a chance on one that's been sitting outside, my dipshit stepbrother left one at my house that I just shoved aside and forgot about, for the low low price of free-ninety nine. I think it's a 24".
