Thanks for the recommendation on Blood Meridian. I'll definitely read that one at the beach or on the plane in the next couple of weeks. Not related to books, but related to modern physics, I've really enjoyed "Through the Wormhole" narrated by Morgan Freeman on the Science channel. There are...

Well I think we all know that stormwater is the hardest. Maybe there is a certain engineer in Florida who might like to advertise that on EB.com.

I didn't know what midoclorians were until I just read this thread. When we were in Disney World last week I raced into Hollywood Studios when they opened so I could sign mini-Chuck (6 years old) up to attend the Jedi training class. During the class he had a light saber battle with Darth...

^ As long as you don't wreck your car in her front yard you should be okay.

Krak & VTE, For what it's worth, it seems like I saw something recently on television that said that the ideal place to pick up a date was a coffee shop or a book store. Stating the obvious, but the bar scene is not conducive to finding someone for a long term, committed relationship...

Copied from some other forum: My wife and I started dating when we were seniors in high school. I was dating her best friend at the time. I had suspicions that her best friend was cheating on me with her ex and I knew we weren't going to have much of a future so I broke up with her and started...

It's extra good for me today. My last day of work until May 21st. Family vacation to Disney World from the 14th through the 18th.

I can go through the checkout line at the grocery store with my three kids and still get carded for alcohol. Sad as it is, I guess it's possible these days to have a 6 year old and still not be able to buy beer.

After I finished grad school my first job was for a big national consulting firm in a small start up office in Atlanta. We were short on funds and office space so I had to sit at the front desk for about 2 years. When I made appointments with vendors, other engineers, contractors, etc. they'd...

Really gross Wow!

Pat cuts your grass?

Damn straight, and it wasn't a Civil War. A Civil War is a war in which both parties are vying for control over one central government. The War Between the States, or War of Northern Aggression was a war fought such that the imperial federal government could exert control over a constitutional...

Are you a redhead or do you have a venereal disease?

Gross Also gross

For the record, we fired on those Yankees out at Fort Sumter first.

I didn't see anything like that in the the receiver module when I took it apart but these are ceramic disc type capacitors, not electrolytic.

Is there an easy way to diagnose the exploded capacitor? None of them have any signs of apparent damage.

Well obviously the problem is the "convenient" remote feature. It turns the $150 fan into a freaking paper weight. I will never buy a remote fan. I didn't buy this one, it came with the house and now I'm stuck with the damn thing.

Damn you people singing the praises of Hunter fans. They suck, just agree with me. HELP ME FEEL JUSTIFIED IN MY RAGE AT HUNTER FANS!

Now I'm on a rant. Freaking Hunter ceiling fans. NEVER BUY ONE.....EVER. We bought our house about a year ago. For some reason the freaking morons that lived there before us put remote control ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms. In the three kids' bedrooms they have those remotes where...
