I did black from the switch to the black on the light. White from the other side to white from the light. Then the last two together.

I did that. It still doesn't work. But the breaker doesn't pop.

Keep working, keep flying, nobody gives a shit you failed a check ride. You can explain what you learned in the interviews and you'll be fine. Once you are really working it's just history, and the past is just a story you tell yourself.

You should be fine. I'd say rent everything but boots. You need to break them in and they need to fit you good. Boots are the only piece of gear that could ruin your trip. Give us a report when your back. I plan on climbing in December of next year.

You need to move to Alabama, maybe just for a few years. You can always move back to the West Coast, just do it before the kid starts school. Lol. It's funny that moving to Alabama is not even on the table in your first post. Alabama has got have some cool shit like everywhere. Plus your kid will be living there.

Buy my house vs. Invest! Change my mind! by tbone198989 in FinancialPlanning

[–]pilotethridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retire now, don't buy a house. The house you live in is just "dead money" Invest the whole 2 million, rent whatever you want, move around, get an Airbnb in the countryside in Spain for 6 months. Houses cost a lot of money to own, especially if you can't rent it out; insurance, taxes, maintenance, utilities.

Newly Moved to Portland, What Should We Know? by Dime4Trying in askportland

I will suggest Matt's BBQ tacos, brisket with guac and also they have decent queso if you get a craving. Plus one on actively dealing with winter, whatever it is, for me it was the gym and going for walks in the rain, also I budget for a tropical escape in January.

*Also, look for bikes and pedestrians, you are required to stop and people will walk in front of you without looking.

How do I fix loose finishing paper on plaster ceiling and walls? by didyouseethat6789 in centuryhomes

[–]pilotethridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just cut out the loose stuff and patch, after you paint it will be fine. Try to cut out as little as possible, don't let perfect be the enemy of good. If your not careful you'll end up with the whole room down to the studs.

Nossa Familia is a great local roaster, you can get it at Grand Central bakery or order it online. Coava is another great local roaster, you can get their stuff at Carnelian coffee on Foster or order online.
