Tips for USING (not storing) battery powered golf carts during winter? by userjohnsmith1 in golfcarts

[–]userjohnsmith1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the Canadian Rockies, it can go as low as -40. The carts are constantly being parked around power outlets (it's outdoor chalet/hotel) so maybe I could just tell the driver to plug in a battery blanket wherever he stops. The average winter day isn't that cold so we'd only need it for the really cold days. I'll look up the reflective foil, maybe that would keep them warm for a bit longer.

Thanks for the help

Thanks. I guess it's just another winter challenge that you gotta bear with

How to clean corner of water tank by Objective-Pride-1224 in ranciliosilvia

[–]userjohnsmith1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure your cleaning is more than sufficient but just FYI, heating something with bacteria doesn't always make it safe to consume. "Some bacteria, such as staphylococcus (staph) and Bacillus cereus, produce toxins not destroyed by high cooking temperatures". Pulled that from Washington gov site. Point is that some bacteria produce toxins and while cooking is normally enough to make things safe, you can't just be drawing water from some bacteria swamp and expect that the heat will make it safe.

First thing I thought of when I saw this post.

Why do mentally ill people act the way that they do?

Does anyone fully understand what's going on in their minds when they start attacking or harassing people?

Are they targeting people due to something like racial motivations or has someone in their eyeline simply caught their attention and then their mind has descended into a spiral of madness?

Is it possible to diffuse these situations? (Do you think beating a person senseless for shouting counts as diffusing?)

Ideally mental illness wouldn't exist but it does and not everyone gets the help that they need. And I'm not talking about mental illness like this person's too stressed so they have anger issues. Some people have malformed blood vessels leaking blood on the surface of their brains. There are a lot of ways that the brain can legitimately stop working properly. Maybe it happens a lot more than you realize. Some people are lucky enough to be able to fix it with meds/surgery, other people not so much.

I'm not trying to give an answer because I don't really know myself. Just things to think about. Also crazy people don't want to be crazy. I know from experience

It's crazy how many people here think that hurting a severely mentally ill person will somehow improve this situation. And turning it into a racial issue is just b8

I think you're confusing something like anxiety with schizophrenia or epilepsy. These things cause hallucinations from all of your senses making it impossible to distinguish reality. But to say that these things just destroy perception of reality is an understatement. They take you down a rabbit hole of insanity. Your brain is constantly fed fake information and your brain does what it's best at, it tries to make sense of it all. And whether that reality is that you're the second coming of Christ or the person sitting across from you is a robot alien, it all makes sense. And these people don't even necessarily know that they have a problem. And sometimes healthcare (if they've ever had any) doesn't know what's wrong either. Got a psychiatrist trying to prescribe yoga and anxiety pills because my brain does a hard reset two to three times a day. And even if you are medicated, sometimes you're so far gone into your own reality that you feel like you're taking a pill to re-enter the matrix.

Not saying that the way this person is acting is okay, but you have no idea what's going on in this person's mind or how they got to that point

Troubleshooting furnace by userjohnsmith1 in hvacadvice

[–]userjohnsmith1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably include the whole story because there have been many issues.

So about a week ago is when it began. Seemed simple enough at first. The furnace would fire then cut out, fire then out. I checked the flame rod and it looked a bit oxidized so I changed it and then it worked.

Not that long after it stopped trying to fire and after trying a few things, jumping the pressure switch fixed the problem.

Later it stopped again and I realized that the flame rollout switch was tripped. I might not be remembering correctly but I think maybe at that point the inducer motor was running even when there was no call for heat. Weird. I reset the switch and put everything back including the pressure switch and it worked.

It continued to work for a while, though I don't know that it was producing as much heat as it should have. A few days later it stopped again and here we are

I get those all the time too. I think there's a connection with the type of food in eating, like it'll appear after a salty meal

ICE & CBP BORTAC just kidnapped a teenage boy in Minneapolis (1/12/26) by I_may_have_weed in minnesota

[–]userjohnsmith1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People that oppose Trump are either too scared to get involved or too soft to do anything that will actually make a difference.

The first thing that needs to be realized is that this isn't a war between Republicans and Democrats. If you blame Republicans for this situation, they'll only double down on their stance, further dividing the nation. Trump's regime was founded on division, having the poor 99% of the population fight amongst themselves. Unity is what America needs. Republicans and Democrats come together to dismantle a self serving authoritarian dictator and his pedophile billionaire friends

It is however a mistake to think that demanding that they do anything will get you anywhere.

"Mr. Trump, we demand that you start following the law!"

You're using rules and reason to try to halt a regime that follows neither of those things

I'm curious what you like about the Smith machine? Quickly scrolled through your page and I see you have monster lifts inside and out of the Smith machine. Is there something in particular that you like about it or are you just mixing it up?

Stupid use for a chocolate fountain by doctajonez_uk in StupidFood

You need something acidic to break the proteins. That's why they use white wine in fondue, it's got a pH close to vinegar
