The only reason I say replacement is on the upstairs unit, it seems like it's way undersized.

I know we get our power from the same utility so I assume our rates are the same. Our house is about 8 years old and I think it's fairly well insulated. The AC units are original so I'll probably end up having to replace those soon. Our bill crept up to $400 once in either July or August but...

Clover is a good indication that your soil is compacted. You need to rent an aerator. I think Weed-B-Gone will kill clover.

Don't LEDs run on DC? If so, isn't the bulk of the cost in the LED bulb the rectifier and the cooling for said rectifier. If so, I wonder if it would be possible to modify a couple of lighting circuits with a central rectifier attached to our breaker box?

I remember our first computer. We had Zork and Starfleet as the only games. Zork was a text based game and you had to read descriptions of where you were (no pictures) and then you would have to input commands in a certain syntax: Me: "Go north" Computer: "You see an axe and some flowers"...

When I worked in a hardware store I sharpened at least 20 lawnmower blades a week. I got really good at it. I had to cover the sharp edges in paper bags after a while because people would cut their hands on them.

That sounds dirty.

Roundup. Just be careful not to get it on the grass. Also, other than Roundup, I quit buying lawn and garden fertilizers/weed control products from the big box stores. There are a couple of smaller nurseries around here that sell much higher quality products and they work much better. They...

Congrats Cap'n. You are a true spam inspiration to us all. Not to steal your thunder, but I'd like to point out that VTE hit 20k at some point recently. Did you guys get him hookers and blow?

And I second VT's comment, no exotic stuff when using the restroom for the first 12 months of this relationship. Go to the bathroom, do your business (facing forward), and get out.

Welcome back Fudgemeister. I would recommend that you eat a diet high in fiber today and take a laxative at around 2:00. Then at 6:00 you'll need to take two Immodium-AD. I think that will probably stop you up. Good luck.

During June, July, August, and September we go from using about 1200 kw-hrs per month to 2800 kw-hrs per month. That's with the thermostats set on 75. It takes a lot to cool a house in a tropical or a subtropical environment.

Well timed topic Cap'n. I was wondering about this just this past week. At Costco this week I noticed they had 75 watt equivalents that would fit in our recessed canned lights in our house. They use about 13 watts of power. They sold for $28.99 and the utility (SCE&G where I live) was...

I'm hoping we get some of the rain. My yard is parched.

^ This whole exchange has been freaking hilarious. I love the Oatmeal.

I remember one of our earlier remote controls had a long telephone cord on it. I think it ran to one of the very first cable boxes. That was back in the mid-80s.

My brother went apeshit on squirrels at his house. Apparently he had a bunch of them that chewed into the soffit of his really old house and built a nest up in attic. When we was having his house renovated they uncovered the extent of the damage and they had chewed through studs, etc. He...
