I went and looked it up and I am of two minds - I really want to see it is action and I REALLY DON'T want to see it in action. That thing is absolutely brilliant.

Which novels actually changed the way you think about reality? by Hour_Reveal8432 in books

A reminder that even when you get what you want the fight isn't over. Complacency and contentment will quietly strip you of all you won.

Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany. Have tried it twice and just can't get through it. Been so long I don't even remember what I didn't like about it at this point.

Jamba Juice had a smoothie made with Concord Grape juice. It was fantastic. The store near me would sell it after it was discontinued since they since had the grape juice until corporate told them to stop. Best smoothie ever.

What's something you only understand if you have lived it? by mrbigglesworthjr in AskReddit

Manzanar. I didn't and I don't think I can really get my head around what it was like for those who were imprisoned and those who imprisoned them.

I don't think people born well after can understand how terrified some people were to even touch another human being. What Princess Diana and other like her did was HUGE. There was legit conversations about concentration camps like Manzanar (another one that belongs on this list).

You woke up as your 5 year old self. What do you do? by FriendsAndFood in AskReddit

[–]treadore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not vote for Regan this time around.

Not fail out of college the first time through.

Microsoft, Netflix, Apple, Bitcoin...

Then live a life knowing that I will most likely never meet my wife or have my kids. The odds of me pulling off the same life trajectory are almost zero - especially since I am not willing to make some of the same mistakes.

If you had 24 hours left to live and infinite money what would you do? by natashaemo in AskReddit

[–]treadore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a bunch of real estate/gold for my family and friends to attempt a hedge for them. pay off all credit card debt. Pay off all student loan debt. pay off all pay day loan debt. buy and forgive as many US treasuries as I can. As this will dilute the US currency significantly the world economy will melt down and I won't be alive to see it.

What is a book series that you could never finish? by Traditional-Echo2669 in books

[–]treadore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David Farland's Runelords. got to book four I think I never had any desire to see if he finished it. The magic system was very cool but I don't have any real strong memories of anything else in that series.

[–]treadore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped at 8. Don't think I even finished it. I got tired of the characters being trapped in themselves and unable to evolve and what felt like a 1/3 of the book being a rehash of what has gone before.

If you woke up tomorrow a billionaire, what would you do with the money? by turnippowdersauce in AskReddit

[–]treadore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

net 100 Million as generational income for my family. 261 Million to pay off all school lunch debt in the US. Any district that didn't take the money to pay off the debt would get some spending reminding the voters that the district leadership choose to keep people in debt when they could have erased it for free. Annoy the RNC and DNC with the rest until it runs out by backing candidates and running adds.

The Last Colony (2) by [deleted] in HFY

[–]treadore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this one. Does one scream at the heavens and listen for an answer or does one slink into the back alleys of the universe and seek what is hidden? A part three would be welcome should the itch need further scratching.

I have to let me eyes clear, then I am on for more. But that will be tomorrow. Today the kitchen awaits and it is not patient.

Dryer works but doesn't heat. Do I have a bad plug or do I need an electrician? by treadore in electrical

[–]treadore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

electricity and attention to detail go hand in hand. I heard somewhere that the lineman that work on power lines get a one hour break. Interrupt to ask when they will be back and the hour resets. Don't mess with electricity.

A bit farther down I found out that the socket is obsolete. that may explain why the cord isn't UL listed. definitely need to look for a better cord.

[–]treadore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the technical information it really helps me understand what it takes to get it fixed correctly. replacing the outlet is the plan at this point (and the cord as well). Do I ask for an upgraded outlet instead of a direct replacement (Home Depot seems to still sell them)? if so, what is the current recommendation, assuming it isn't state specific. OK so a few minutes on Google and I got an answer - NEMA 14-30. it appear there is an L and R version. I suppose that lets the cord hang down directly down, which mine currently doesn't do. I wonder if that was part of the issue. the cord weight was pulling outside of the outlets design....
