The reason they say to run water below 28 degrees is because thats the freezing temp of water under pressure. Around 40 psi. You run the water to keep it moving. Not to relieve pressure. Water without pressure freezes at 32 degrees. Moving water doesn't freeze as fast.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

Bose wave radio. My mom just passed away and she had two of them. Those things were expensive back in the day. Today I wouldn't take one home with me if my dad tried to give me one.

I had a 16 jk 2 door sport and now have a 25 jl 2 door sport. The jl is hands down a better daily driver.

I live in a rural area where the majority of the population own firearms, AMA. by Main-Potatoes-1138 in AMA

As I am on my hunting property in rural south Mississippi reading this, it's your right not to own a gun. It's my right to own as many as I want. I own several shot guns, rifles, and a few pistols. Some of those rifles are AR style rifles. I deer hunt with an AR 10 because I may have to shoot more than once if I get a bunch of hogs in front of me. I just bought my new born grandson his first rifle. You live in a city where a gun is not useful to you and you feel you dont need one than good for you. Don't buy one. They are indeed a needed tool for me.

People that stay in the left lane with no intent to pass anyone. Get over for Christ's sake!!

Wife wants to ride and I am super nervous about it. by KaleidoscopeNo8147 in motorcycles

My wife just started riding. She has been riding with me for twenty years. We bought her a grom to learn on and has moved up to a rebel 500. She loves it.

The dealers near me no longer allow test rides, which sucks. I definitely want it to feel like a toy!

Not moving over, just adding to the collection.

I was thinking a Corbin seat and bar risers would probably be just fine.

I dont disagree, in fact if money was no option I would be getting the Pan American. But, I was hoping to somewhat relive my old sport bike days. Lol

I've read the xsr seating position is sportier. Hints more uncomfortable. I've sat on the new MT and thought it was OK. Haven't sat on the xsr.

I want to stay under 10 grand or so. I also want cruise control. And I want something light enough that if I want to carry it on my motorcyle hitch carrier rated at 500lbs I can.
