@Dleg Those are actually AAAA cells.

Baseball was on in the bar where I had dinner tonight.  I'm not a fan, but I was casually watching between drinks.  One game had cardboard "fans" in the stands behind home plate.  My friends and I mocked it mercilessly.  Then, the next game that came on had nothing in the stands behind home...

Are you sure it's not the Rona?

DHL is kinda like soccer...it's HUGE everywhere except the USA.

It was never not OK to crop dust the office.

I was shocked when I saw he was 50 years old.  He still looks like he's in his mid-20's.

When you see doorbell cam footage of delivery drivers kicking, throwing, etc. packages, it's nearly always FedEx drivers.  I may have seen 1 or 2 UPS drivers in those videos, but the vast majority are FedEx.  I don't understand how one company can be so good at this and the other be so abysmal.  

I honestly don't know how FedEx is still in business.  They have literally screwed up the last 10 deliveries I've gotten through them.  UPS hasn't messed one up in years.

Doesn't that mean it was operating properly?

I've never heard anybody in Kentucky or Tennessee say that they hate the other state.  There is a semi-healthy rivalry between the University of Kentucky and University of Tennessee basketball teams, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the football rivalries between Michigan/Ohio or...

Maybe it has to do with my fields (material handling machinery, AE firm, and forensic engineering), but I have seen very little racial diversity in my career.  Out of 5 companies, I have had 3 black and two Indian colleagues.  Far less than the population percentages would suggest.  I haven't...

Yeah, some things just don't make sense to be battery powered unless you are on a construction site with no plugs available.  I used to have a battery powered circular saw and sawzall.  Couldn't make more that a couple of cuts before the batteries were drained.  Even when I was drilling hundreds...

Made a new work bench to incorporate my new table and miter saws.

That's the "second wave."

My buddy grows tomatoes and all sorts of crazy peppers (Carolina Reapers, Scorpions, etc.).  He usually gives me a couple of "salsa kits" ever year with a bunch of tomatoes and peppers.  I cut up a bunch of peppers for salsa without gloves on.  Washed my hands at least twice during the salsa...

One extension cord plugged into one outlet should not cause two different circuit breakers to trip...no matter how much current it's drawing.  It sounds like you might have some double-wired circuits (i.e., circuits fed from 2 breakers).

Sounds like a floating neutral.  Do you have a multimeter that you could use to test the voltage across one of the non-working receptacles?  When the neutral is not properly tied to ground, the voltage reference can fluctuate, and you can get lower than normal voltages.  This could allow the...

Seriously.  Orange and mint sounds like a Wayne's World ice cream flavor.

Cake is an icing delivery system, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit idly by while someone besmirches that noble cause.

This is a place to put random knowledge you just heard about...whether it's relatively new knowledge to the world, or you've just been living under a rock for an unspecified amount of time. I'll start.  TIL... There is a "non-specific currency" symbol known as the "scarab". Sauce.   ¤
