The legal definition of "expert" is that you know more about the topic at hand than a layperson. You do not have to be a licensed professional engineer to become an expert witness, but it is one of many certifications you can have to "prove" to the judge or jury that you are an expert. In this...

His *** life, while also being none of our business, has nothing to do with his philanthropic efforts. He has donated billions of dollars to a wide variety of humanitarian causes across the globe. Covid-19 is the biggest humanitarian crises the world has seen during our lifetimes. If you want...

I have the $70 listed above. It works great for me.

Bold move in a hotel. They usually have tamper switches on them so they can see if/when you take them off the wall (to prevent people from smoking in non-smoking rooms).

Apologies for assuming your 13 y/o was a male. I agree with @Supe that resin printers are better for miniatures. It's hard to get much detail on a small model using FDM. But tagging on to what @pbrme said, not only is resin more expensive, it's also messier and toxic if it gets on your bare...

If your son has any interest in modeling, industrial design, or mechanical engineering, a 3D printer would probably be good for him. When you first get started in learning CAD, it can be pretty abstract. But if you are able to design something and have the ability to print out a prototype in...

I just got a Creality CR-10S in my lab. It had a thermal runaway at the hot end, and ignited whatever it was printing. I think Creality enables thermal runaway protection by default in their firmware already, so it was probably user error for uploading new firmware with the protection disabled.

We don't have to wash our hands, and we can get up in peoples' business. I'll have none of that social distancing any more. Except I will because I'm not particularly fond of people. Social distancing was never really an issue for me.

As mentioned in another thread, I have a service appointment to get the 12v battery in my Tesla replaced for the 2nd time. This is a notable service appointment because it is the first one that I am being charged for. It's going to be about $200 for parts and labor. But they are still coming...

That's pretty smart thinking on the bars/restaurants. They won't ever get close to normal if we don't reach herd immunity, and we won't reach herd immunity unless most people get vaccinated. Giving away a free drink or menu item is a small price to pay to entice people to get jabbed.

Celebrity, I think. My parents booked it, and they have been on many cruises with the company they used, so they had some sort of "status." We got free or reduced price drink packages due to the number of cruises they have been on. This will be my first cruise ever. I'm assuming that there...

My family had a Mediterranean cruise scheduled for June 2020. The cruise line canceled it for us in January. We re-booked for June 2021...hopefully the world will be back to normal by then.

@Dothracki PE Like most HVAC installs, that looks like a complete dumpster fire. I'm not sure what's going on with the red wire double ganged with the yellow wire or white wire double ganged with the white wire. That black and white wire cable behind the thermostat looks like 120v...

Prusa 3D printer arrived today. Pretty impressive...shipped from Prague on Monday, and showed up in Kentucky at 10 am Wednesday. I just marathon assembled the kit. Took me 7h15m. There were a few parts that were a right pain in the ***, but everything went smoothly for the most part. I'm...

The boys are almost 3 now. They are getting lots of lap time since I just left them for a week.

I've also played TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course and Sky Blue in Jacksonville when a buddy lived there. I'm going on a trip to San Diego and Phoenix with another group in September. We're playing TPC Scottsdale (both courses), Torrey Pines (both courses), and 4+ other courses that I've never heard of.

We go to the Fort Myers area. We played Stoneybrook, Magnolia Landing, Ft. Myers CC, Palmetto-Pine CC, and a brand new course (like built last February) called Babcock National. We have also played Eastwood, Coral Oaks, River Hall, Copperhead, Kingsway, and Waterlefe in previous years.

I leave today for a week-long golf trip to Florida. This is the 9th consecutive year I've been on this trip.

Methinks the kids' interests had very little to do with that project. That smacks of dad being a huge Star Wars fan and making those beds because he thinks they're cool.

I'd say that #3 is the ONLY reason to use RedFin. Zillow has pretty much removed the need to hire a realtor to get access to the MLS. I don't understand how realtors have avoided anti-trust issues for as long as they have. There is blatant collusion between them to keep commissions up and...
