Imagine how quickly you would shit your pants if this guy slowly made his way of the darkness in your back yard.....

Bill Paxton was amazing. He made his character so goddammit irritating and whiney that when the time came, you were begging for Hudson to be killed. Marvelous.

& two broken arms

It had trained 100 ,one-armed wheeled robots...

I could think of a a new profession for these guys....

We all fall into the trap from time to time where we think a succcessfull businessman would make a good politician. They're good with money, makes sense right? Wrong. You need a stronger sense of duty, responsibility to the public and ethics. Thats not the focus of a for-profit company, by its nature. Thats why military officers actually make good politicians. And we've gotten away from that for some reason. And don't discount career politicians. They're still sxuzzy, but they have better instincts about maintaining govt service. It seems like all the schmucks that are trying to transition into govt from private industry feel like they need t make 'big waves' and fuck around with laws and upend everything to make up for their lack of experience and accomplishments.

How about this: Defund the the fuckin lawmakers! 85% of people are generally happy with the state of their lives. So why in the hell are we electing jackasses that wanna overturn every law, scorched earth, arachy, rabble rabble!?! Just leave shit alone dickheads, its fine as it. We should be electing lawmakers running platforms of milquetoast apathy, wtf...

The Brooklyn colonists invested their time and resources into building up the Bay area, expecting the main body of Latter-day Saints to settle near them. However, Brigham Young chose the Great Salt Lake Valley as the center place for the Mormon population and as the site for a holy temple to be built.[23] When official word of the new gathering place was issued, Samuel Brannan informed the disappointed Brooklyn settlers that their communal endeavors in San Francisco were at an end....about half of the Brooklyn settlers were recruited to trek overland to Utah, two of them went to Hawaii and the rest emigrated back to the eastern states.

I want to hear about the two people that went to Hawaii. Were they trying to spread the word of Mormon or were they frustrated and just said fuck it?

I read a Sci Fi novel that delt with the concept of 'freezing' people. Cryoburn. It was more about the social practicalities of what would happen if this came to pass:

1.) Freezing people required ongoing $$ so eventually the families or endowments ran out of money and the frozen people eventually got unfrozen and unceremoniously kicked out onto the streets. Penniless, as it were.

2.) These 'time travelers' were SOL as their skills were outdated and required extensive re-education which they didn't have money for, or they were elderly anyway. Most became homeless as their immediate families were long dead.

3.) Eventually managing the frozen people kinda became like a ponzi scheme, which is the premise of the book...

Sorry, not the most uplifting tangent but I thought the author explored a really good angle on the 'freezing idea....

I hope not.

The guy in the blue w/glasses is just super stoked to be in the room

Still doesn't excuse Morbius. Shame on you JL....

Its real if you believe they are. Thats all it takes.....-

So in the Coprophelia world, the perp is what you would call a Windy City Tradesman and the cop would have been a Chicago Breezeater. People pay good money to pull that arrangement together. Its beautiful, actually.

The worst thing she probably ever did was Rhinestone but even there, she makes a shit sandwich just barely palatable simply by being on screen.

Makes perfects sense. ML's 95 Thesus was equivalent to MLK's peaceful civil rights protests. They both questioned social and legal boundaries that endure to enrich certain people at the expense of other's civil rights. And they were both met with threats of violence and murder. Somethings don't change apparently.....

Is it because they died from the booze and smokes before they had a fair chance to get thyroid cancer, maybe?

I'm afraid to have to tell you this, my friend, but most US Citizens probably don't share the 'American Values' that you subscribe to....

Ok just hang tight for 18-24 years till we can breed a new labor force here..

I never understood the recent anti immigration sentiment, especially when we knew we'd be having labor shortages in the near future. We need like 4M workers across the country. And it's not a quick process either. It took these people at least 5 years to get their citizenship.

Just make sure you put some drywall compound and paint to seal up the exposed drywall core before you put the wood paneling down(not a bad idea btw...). It doesn't have to loom pretty. Otherwise you're likely to get mold, moisture and maybe swelling. Latex paint does a lot to ensure the longevity of the drywall in your home.

Good news: Its easy enough for any homeowner to fix. Bad news: Kiss your weekend goodbye:

1.) Cut off any loose peices

2.) Skim coat with drywall compound, make sure the mud apllication extends past the torn paper at least 1 inch.

3.) Let it dry

4.) Sand drywall compound with drywall sandpaper(its a mesh)

5.) Repeat steps 2-4 until you get a uniform, even surface

6.) Paint over the new drywall compound with a primer or primer + paint. A primer seals the fresh drywall which, otherwise, would absorb several applications of regular latex paint making a long job, even longer

7.) Paint with a latex paint of your choice.

8.) Do whatever you need to do to get those cats to not do this again.

Hrmm. Well my first guess, on the price difference, would probably be the gauge of the extension cord.

Thicker Gauge = More Copper.

More Copper = More Expensive.

16 gauge is the minimum gauge for running a high wattage heater, like a block heater, but that is only considered 'medium duty'. For running generators or high amperage motors you would need heavy duty or ultra heavy duty power cords and those need a lot of copper.

$15 for 16 gauge/32 ft is about right. $60 for a 32 foot cord should be at least a 12 gauge but, idk, sometime getting ripped off is your only B&M option. If that is the case, explore online options for a more fair price...

Oh, yeah I think you mean your heater cord has a Three-Pronged Head. A power strip is a stand alone, grounded device that plugs into other extenion cords, heater cords, etc. It has multiple, 3 prong plugs and usually an on-off switch + replaceable fuse.

Anyway..uh what makes a heater cord different than a regular extension cord is the thickness and ....I've never heard of a heater cord that wasn't rated for outdoor/all weather.

Let's just assume your heater cord is 'all weather'. If you are concerned about moisture, your biggest risk would be if the end ended up laying in standing water and a little electrical tape wont help that. If you have a stake or something you could zip-tie the end to o its elevated a couple of inches off that ground that be best.

Or not. This is holiday lighting we're talking about. Just be cognizant of it possibly popping a breaker at any point so make sure you don't have something crucial on that circuit, like a fish tank or something...

I guess we're a little confused.

You describ plugging an outdoor outlet into a block heater cord which is fine because they're always outdoor rated and water resistant. But then you abruptly mention also using an indoor, home power strip which seems a little odd but maybe we're losing something in translation...?
