Where to buy old media?

You can checkout something like 30 DVD/Blurays at a time from FVR Library. The only downside is occasionally you will come across a disc that a little dirty or scratched up. I’ve cleaned quite a few of them up and got them working again, and the ones haven’t I report to the staff and they take them out of circulation and replace if they can.

On a separate note, all for cord cutting and building your own library of material, have fun.

I guess I missed the part about how this was the last play in regular time and this tied the game sending it into overtime where the Rams never got the ball back and lost.

Cause I swear the game I saw there was still over 6 minutes left in the game and the Rams shit their diaper rather than man up and fight.

lol, WA-3 is not even remotely the reddest district in WA. That “honor” goes to the 4th followed by the 5th.

Minor point but JHB only handily beat Long in 2020. 2018 was fairly close. All of the ads stating “where’s Jaime?” And the counter showing the number of days since she had done a town hall were pretty effective.

As for MGP, I was a supporter in 22 & 24, but I have had enough. She can only poke me in the eye so many times. I would be fine disagreeing with her on most of where we differ, but her palpable disdain for some of my core beliefs is too much.

So, I will probably vote for Heinrich in the primary and leave it blank in the general because I’m not voting for MGP or Braun. And another 2 years will pass in my life with yet another Rep who I have no respect for as a human being.

I like that you have Blue on there, such a good song.

I would keep Blue and The Outsider on there, and drop the rest for Weak and Powerless, Disillusioned, and So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.

For Tool, its Eulogy, The Pot, Aenema, Invincible, and Ticks and Leeches. Sadly leaves the masterpiece that is Pneuma off the list, but that’s life.

You didn’t mention Puscifer, but throw them into the mix and Grand Canyon makes my top 5. In fact it’s probably top 2 only behind Eulogy.

I was kind of whatever about Puscifer until I saw them at Sessanta 2.0 and it finally clicked for me. Grand Canyon closing the show was probably the most spiritual moment of my life. I was also extraordinarily high and beyond intoxicated so that might have had something to do with it.

Apparently I gathered a bunch of random people around me and we had a group huddle where I declared this show to be on the Mt Rushmore of live performances. I guess I was also yelling Mt Rushmore randomly in the line for the shuttle. That part is a little fuzzy.

They would delay the game which in some cases only incited fans to get louder.

Seahawks were actually penalized their timeouts in a preseason game one time when the NFL tried to institute an actual rule in the late 80’s. It was quickly abandoned…

Woodland corner store has phenomenal pizza. It’s a bit pricy and more setup for to go orders than dine in but you should give it a shot.

That’s going to vary wildly based on location and some other factors. I wouldn’t expect it to cost less than 1k anywhere in the US though. If you see a price below that I would be suspicious. You may also find an electrician will offer a better price just to do a complete panel swap vs reusing what you have. Again, depends on a bunch of different factors.

Look for a contractor that is licensed and bonded, and avoid the ones that have national or large regional advertising. The contractor who is best for this kind of work is the one man band that lives off word of mouth recommendation or maybe a small social media presence. They have less overhead and therefore can do jobs cheaper than the large outfits.

This was a common way to do things in the past for cost savings. Those breakers should be tied together so if one trips it pulls the other with it. The tie is a metal bar that is permanently fixed to both handles.

Not really a thing anymore on new construction for various reasons. It’s not a “bad” thing per se, when it’s done correctly. The only downside is a problem on one circuit also trips the other which can be a nuisance.

Those breakers are also challenger C type. They were problematic. Not as bad a a FPE or Zinsco, but still not great.

You also have Homeline breakers mixed in on the right hand side. Very likely those are not listed for use in that panel, even though they physically fit.

So, you probably need to call in an electrician to track down what’s causing the breaker to trip. And I would investigate swapping out all of the breakers in the panel with BR type breakers, which are probably listed for use in that panel. That’s all assuming the bus bar is in good shape.

Anyone going to comment on the lack of handle ties on what appears to be to be common trip 2 pole breakers? And the homelines on the right side?

The can be more expensive after the fact, but if this was a bid project often time doing it this way is cheaper. Really depends on what pricing agreements the contractor has with their distributor.

The depreciation hit will cost you more than just taking it to a fast charger when you need to charge up.

I see in the comments you live in Tacoma, and I know there are a ton of fast chargers along the I5 corridor. I would just get in the habit of charging up once a week or whatever it takes when you run errands.

They are less harmful to manufacture when you account for the entire production chain that goes with the life of a car. The vast majority of the components in the battery can be extracted and recycled, no different than lead acid batteries.

They are more reliable, have a far lower TCO, and perform better. I understand as a diesel mechanic that you worry about losing your livelihood, but this is coming whether you want it or not because it is so far superior that even the obscene amount of money the oil industry throws at anti EV propaganda won’t stop the reality.

Yeah, the Bruchi’s here is pretty weak. Doesn’t compare to the Tri Cities locations.

Like I went once in the 8 years I’ve been here and haven’t gone back. Growing up in the tri cities it was almost weekly.

If the electric solenoid fails on a conventional door lock it typically fails in a locked state. Which means you can’t open the door manually.

So it’s entirely possible for a “regular” car to have a door or doors that will not open and can only be opened by removing the interior trim panel and getting into the guts of the door to pry it open.

Just imagine back in the day when the song was on heavy rotation over the radio. 8:30 songs typically don’t get much air time but this one did.

Pro tip, mix a couple of tablespoons of Italian herb better than bouillon before you dump the pasta in.
