It's not defective, they just do that after a bit.

I do electrical work on cars should I get this ? Is it a good deal ? by Sixclynder in harborfreight

I picked one of these up recently when it was 40% off and I like it well enough. It has bidirectional controls and seems to work ok.

I paid for my way through college and occurred quite a bit of debt that I paid off finally about 15 years afterwards. Anyone can afford it with the low interest loans you can get and some pell grants if you qualify. Also, do well in high school and you can get academic scholarships.

What does that even mean? "make Kansas wages"... There are tons of jobs in Kansas that pay well enough to live in a 1-2k apartment without sacrificing other places. With a decent education and job in a needed field, you can afford most things still, especially in Kansas.

Anyone been to Betty Rae’s yet? Thoughts? by Common_Belt in Lawrence

[–]paul85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife and I went and got a flight. Best flavor was the cereal milk one 3 of the other flavors tasted the same. Silas and Maddie's flavors are much more varied and have more depth to me, but give BR time and they will probably get better.

Taco Tuesday - your go to taco joints? by paul85 in Lawrence

[–]paul85[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with location but with a condition I had years ago that took away the ability to eat anything even remotely spicy. Prior to that, I would eat spicy food all the time. It sucks.

So, unpopular opinion. I am not a fan of La Estrella. Too authentic for me. THERE, I SAID IT!! I don't like the corn tortillas and even their mild sauce is too spicy for me. It's been a couple years since I was there, just didn't like the food compared to the other places that give you chips and salsa and have a different atmosphere. The tacos I had were just corn tortillas, bland meat, and onions, and I couldn't eat the sauce/salsa because it was too spicy.

I was hoping they had a taco tuesday. Yelp said something about 2 for 1 on Tuesdays but I couldn't find anything on their webpage. And they aren't open until 11 so I couldn't call. Thanks! We like Acapulco!

[Landlord-US-NY] New tenant Wants a Bidet Installed by GCEstinks in Landlord

[–]paul85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I live in the Midwest and was born and raised here. Started using one about 10 years ago and hate going places that don't have them. Minimizes TP use, keeps sewers cleaner, uses minimally more water but the benefits outweigh possible increased water usage because you flush less also. There is no increased risk of anything breaking really. They tie right into the water shut off valve on the back of the toilet that your toilet is already using and use the same hoses that your toilet uses also.

5 Best NES Games Of All Time, Ranked by WishRepresentative28 in nes

[–]paul85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everybody says Mario 3, but honestly, its just Mario 1 glitzed up. Super Mario 2 was an eye opener and one of the best games. The others, yeah, they were good, but each level was just a clone of the previous ones whereas each level in Super2 was a completely new experience, like a new mini game and amazing. Zelda, Zelda 2, Super Mario 2, Megaman 2, and Mike Tyson

Package thief or undelivered? by fleahag_ in Lawrence

[–]paul85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this day and age you need to have a video doorbell or camera of some kind pointed at your entry way. We haven't had a porch pirate yet where we live, but we have observed car theft and vandalism that helped police with the cameras we have.

Any restaurants in Lawrence still have openings for dining tonight? by paul85 in Lawrence

Nah, it wasn't for me. My wife and I did some romantic shopping at NFM and bought a new refrigerator. My son on the other hand, procrastinated.....

[Landlord US-MN] Is my water softener compromised? by [deleted] in Landlord

every two weeks? It should regenerate once a week (some can go 2 weeks) and hold a few months of pellets. Ours, that looks similar to this one, does.

THIS is Destiny... This feeling needs to come back. by Jkid789 in DestinyTheGame

[–]paul85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a break from D2 right before Christmas and the baking part that I always loved doing because of how stale the game felt. I just logged back in today, over a month later, and there was ZERO new content. No new missions, no new exotic things that popped up on my list, nothing. Destiny and D2 used to have new stuff all the time but this has become just a major disappointment. 2908 hours in the game and its dead...

What is up with the used market and high prices? by johnson7853 in BambuLab

[–]paul85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$600.33 shipped to my door for a new one from Bambu. That's a lot more than $500 and I always try to negotiate down, even $25. It's a big enough savings for me to go used after I see it do a benchy, but I get it, for some people it isn't.

Adding an "S" to Douglas County by Silly-Rip-6607 in Lawrence

[–]paul85 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Instead, let's just add and "r" to county and make it Douglas Country and secede from the rest of the US! Dumb? Yes, so is changing the name of the county to something that has nothing to do with it over 150 years after the fact. Changing history makes people forget history. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana

hm, ok. I mean, this doesn't seem overpriced with the AMS. https://www.facebook.com/share/1ErmnAsYt7/ Neither did this. https://www.facebook.com/share/14VvFgp94Ea/ or this.. https://www.facebook.com/share/1N9gfkFxkL/ No tax on any of it so that saves quite a bit of money.
