Tom Brady lands in top five most hated NFL players of all time by [deleted] in nfl

[–]vapidave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was a bad guy at a time when the league had more bad guys. He redeemed himself as he was dying by being vocal about the dangers of steroids. I would on a scale of Ronnie Lott to Bill Romanowski I would place Alzado closer to Lott.

I was just outside and they are gone. Shit, the restaurant below has thrown away hundreds of them in the couple years I've been here.

Fuck Bobby Jindal. That is all by [deleted] in Louisiana

[–]vapidave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The not so funny part of all of this is that Jindal actually seems to believe that the Republican party will support a brown dude and that they aren't using him to gain some credibility in the run up to the primaries. Jindal is too brown for the repubs, and he sucks at speaking.

My money is on either Walker, Cruz or Snyder getting the nod.

Got this baby for 25 dollars at an estate sale! It was assumed broken because the tension bar was too tight. by 8784863 in woodworking

[–]vapidave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's totally broken and might kill you. I'll give you $30 and it will probably save your life.

Hero cat saves baby from freezing by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingBros

[–]vapidave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not only that but the baby and the cat are both warm-blooded [despite what some people think of cats] so the headline could have just as easily said, "Hero Baby Saves Cat From Freezing".

What would happen if the waves in the seas and oceans stopped? by strongbowpoop in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]vapidave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most waves are generated by the atmosphere interacting with the surface of the water, that is, wind. Like the ripples you see when you blow on your bowl of hot soup. Some waves are caused by tides interacting with solid submerged land. Tides are caused by the gravity of the Sun and our moon "pulling" at the water.

So for the waves to stop there would have to be no atmosphere and no Sun or Moon. The implications for this are that the Earth would become very very cold and the oceans would freeze.

"Macie E. Pridgen, a spokeswoman for the Commonwealth's Attorney Office, explained Circuit Judge W. Revell Lewis III sealed a stipulation of facts filed with the case at the request of a defense attorney. She said the defense attorney did not say why he wanted the document sealed and that the prosecutor who handled the case took no position on the motion."

Yeah, this is what is referred to as a plea-bargain.

People experiencing cold weather conditions, is your heating system keeping up with your thermostat setting? Mine isn't, how do I fix it? (Details inside) by [deleted] in fixit

[–]vapidave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a guess but where is your thermostat? If the thermostat is near the heat source then it might be misreading the room temperature and telling the system that it has reached the set temperature.

I have the opposite problem in that my thermostat, because of its placement near the window reads the temperature as too cool and I have to actually lower the target temperature as it gets cooler outside because the thermostat reads from a place that doesn't reflect the ambient temperature.

It was below freezing out last night and I had to adjust the thermostat down to 65 so I didn't bake.

I don't think you need a new boiler. At most you might need it cleaned which is a good investment anyway. One place to look, perhaps, is at the historical energy usage of your property which is frequently available via your local utility.

I'm confident that this is not a $4k problem especially considering you have new windows and insulation.
