Topic | My outside AC Unit died this past Friday |
BlazinBlue88 09/05/23 3:24:19 PM #24 | VeggetaX posted...
The CAPACITOR for my AC unit melted. The tech replaced it and did some maintenance on it for a total of $458 and I'm given a one year guarantee on the repair. Not bad at all, my friends. I can feel my house already cooling down.I mean it's a capacitor. That one year guarantee is basically fluff cause it will outlive the unit itself. Let's hope the maintenance was detailed cause like I said, you can buy a replacement for less than $50 and to replace you just unplug the old one and plug in the new one. Fun fact: The capacitor's only purpose is to start the fan blades on top of the outside unit. After it starts, the fan spins on it's own. If you manually spin the fan with your hand, it'll start up and work as intended. When I was waiting for the replacement part, I'd go outside a few times during the day and smack the fan with a stick through the grate. It would start spinning and cool off my house like normal. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |

Couple WCW house shows and a Nitro. Couple WWE house shows, Raw, Smack down in the early 2000s, the Summerslam with the first TLC match, and the Survivor Series with WCW vs WWE teams.

There are still a couple unanswered questions, and a couple characters dont show up that I wish had, but I thought it was a great ending to the show. Tied most things up brilliantly.Yup. They did their best to cram an entire season into a movie. You can tell there could have been more and not all questions were answered but they couldn't have done it better. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |

ToastyOne posted... I got a 13" bubble crt last year and it is fantastic. Great colors/contrast and fairly recently made (2005).Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you'd need to open it up to either adjust the yoke or apply some magnetic strips to the back of the tube to stretch/fix the image. Simple enough fixes honestly. If you check out the crtgaming subreddit, you'll get a lot of people willing to help. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |

Topic | What is a tasty vegetable ? |
BlazinBlue88 08/28/23 12:26:34 AM #10 | The key to liking veggies is how you cook and season them. Roast and Sautee is the way to go. Roast some Brussel sprouts with salt, olive oil, fresh garlic, and balsamic vinegar.
Also if the crunch/texture of the veggie is a problem for you, try doing what my wife did for me. When we first started dating, she would overcook any veggie until they were mush. She then started cook them less and less as I slowly adjusted. These days Im cool eating them raw. Regular veggies we eat include Brussel sprouts, onions, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, kale, spinach, and asparagus. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |

I don't mind floral as long as it's flavorful. I've heard good things about English breakfast or earl grey but IdkBoth of those are black tea which will be bitter but have the most caffeine. For those, just put some honey/sugar and some milk in them to take away the bitterness. If you want, you can slowly lessen the amount of that stuff you put in the tea as you adjust to the bitterness. Eventually you might find yourself drinking the tea without any of the added stuff. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/6/3/AAfboFAAEydf.jpgVelcro cable ties can easily fix this. The top half of cables that are coming straight down can all be tied together so it's just one big cable instead of 17 individual cables. The long cables you can wind up the extra slack in the middle and tie it off. Side note, is most of that ethernet? What do you have that requires that many ethernet cables? --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |
Topic | Do you have a cable management approach? |
BlazinBlue88 08/27/23 6:12:35 AM #13 | Make sure you are getting velcro cable ties and not plastic zip ties. Can get small adhesive hooks to put on the underside of your desk to run those tied up cables on.
For mounting your power strip, you can either drill a couple screws into your desk and slide them into the power strip slots(most of them have these slot holes on the back) or get a roll of that sticky double sided thick 2 inch velcro. Stick one half to the strip, one half to the desk, then velcro them together. It should hold the weight. Actually velcro is a name brand. Just buy hook and loop tape so it'll be cheaper for the same product. You can also get some power cables for your monitor and pc that have right angle plugs so they are more flush and out of sight when coming out of your power strip. Edit: Geez. Other than my power cable suggestion, guy above me posted the same comment nearly word for word. Lol --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png |
Topic | JAKAS Presents: Did you play this Genesis game? Boogerman |
BlazinBlue88 08/26/23 5:09:23 PM #9 | My mom never let me rent it because she thought it was gross. Odd hill for her to die on considering nearly everything else I had unrestricted access to in clouding watching slasher movies as a young child.
I ended up playing it at my friend's house and later as an adult. It was a decent enough platformer but the level design wasn't all that great. The animations had a lot of character to them on both Boogerman and the enemies. Fun fact. The studio also made Clay fighters and Earthworm Jim. Both Jim and Boogerman appeared as rivals in the N64 version of Clay fighters 63 1/3rd. MedeaLysistrata posted... I MIGHT have played the game but I definitely remember watching the show.You might be thinking of Earthworm Jim?
