| Topic | I still don't understand what Death Stranding is about. |
| IdiotMachine 09/14/19 8:46:12 PM #22 | Kojima needs to be a producer, game mechanics creator, and a backseat writer/director to relay his visions. He needs a proper director, writer, and editor to make his visions come to life. Because Kojima himself having total control makes his games a nonsense mess that is plagued with extra long cutscenes and intense, often repeated, exposition. --- |

| IdiotMachine 09/11/19 9:06:50 PM #1 | According to Wiki: In December 2016, Forbes named Kjellberg as the highest-earning YouTuber with his annual income reaching $15 million.... According to Forbes, Kjellberg's income dropped to $12 million in 2017, which made him the sixth highest-paid YouTuber during that year. --- |
| Topic | Updated to Android 10 (Q); don't notice anything different. |
| IdiotMachine 09/09/19 12:16:15 AM #1 | The only notable difference is the new gestures vs the buttons to go back, see currently opened apps, and open the app drawer... but I don't like it, because you need to swipe from the edge of your screen inwards, which will inevitably screw with the screen protector I have installed. So I returned to the original 2-button navigation. The dark mode is neat, but it isn't universal. What I mean by this is activating dark mode only makes the system settings and the notifications dark; all apps have to be switched to dark mode individually (if they even support it). This update is very "meh". --- |
| Topic | If the light switch is off, it's safe to replace the light fixture? |
| IdiotMachine 09/08/19 7:58:04 PM #12 | I didn't want to turn the breaker off, because I am replacing 12 exterior light fixtures and I didn't want to turn off 6-or-so breakers. Anywho, I replaced all 12 of them safely without turning the breaker off (just turning the switch off). --- |
| Topic | If the light switch is off, it's safe to replace the light fixture? |
| IdiotMachine 09/08/19 11:47:59 AM #5 | tullock posted... Mostly yes. What you also need to be careful of are the neutral wires, the white ones. If there is more than one of them, make sure they are twisted tightly together when the switch is off. If they get loose and you touch them, it's possible to get a good shock from that too.If they get loose, and the switch is turned back on, I can get a shock? --- |
| Topic | If the light switch is off, it's safe to replace the light fixture? |
| IdiotMachine 09/08/19 11:43:45 AM #1 | I want to replace a light fixture. I can just have the light switch on the off position then disconnect the wires, right? Only risk of shock is if someone turns the switch back on... Right? --- |

| Topic | Doing my first own oil change; how do you measure the amount of oil to put in? |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/19 9:29:55 PM #21 | Fossil posted... Marquee answered the first question, but I apparently glossed over the 2nd. My bad.Oh no, I'm not faulting the folks in here that actually answered the questions posed. Not being accusatory; thank you for your sharing your thoughts. Fossil posted... Also, since you didn't mention it I just want to make sure to ask, you replaced the oil filter, yeah?Planning on it. Bought a oil filter wrench as well just incase it's seized on there. --- |
| Topic | Doing my first own oil change; how do you measure the amount of oil to put in? |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/19 9:12:36 PM #19 | So I feel like a good deal of posters here completely ignored the actual first post. The main question was does it matter to put exactly 6.02 qt as opposed to 6 qt? And a followup question was regarding residual oil that is still inside the engine, and that hasn't fully drained out. --- |
| Topic | Doing my first own oil change; how do you measure the amount of oil to put in? |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/19 3:41:40 PM #9 | Fossil posted... I would only use synthetic oil if you've previously already used it in the engine. Don't just switch because it's chalked up to being superior.I've always used synthetic. --- |

| Topic | Doing my first own oil change; how do you measure the amount of oil to put in? |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/19 11:05:26 AM #1 | User manual says to put in 6.02qts. After draining, do I just put six 1qt bottles in the engine? What about the 0.02qts, or the residual oil inside the engine that wasn't drained out completely? --- |

| IdiotMachine 09/04/19 9:07:56 PM #13 | The Admiral posted... The guy fired at the cops again after they approached. I missed that; I would say shooting him is justified at that point. darkjedilink posted... Literally taking the gun makes shooting him justified. End of story. From the responding officers' POV, if the guy wasn't holding a weapon, the responding officers do not have a way of knowing that he took the female officer's service weapon and fired at her (unless she was able to communicate that to them in the ~5 seconds it took them to respond). --- |

| Topic | Black Man Beats Up White Female Cop & Takes Her Gun! (Video) |
| IdiotMachine 09/04/19 8:58:45 PM #7 | Because the camera isn't clear what happens at the end, there are two opposite scenarios: A) Guy throws away the firearm, and calmly gives himself up. B) Guy keeps the firearm in his hands, and approaches the other police officers. If it was (A), I would lean towards that shooting him was unjustified; if it was (B), I would lean towards that shooting him was justified. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/31/19 1:10:20 PM #18 | JE19426 posted... butthole666 posted...She should be charged with manslaughter and tbh theres probably an argument to be made for murder If the dispatcher ignored her calls and did not actually dispatch help, I can see it. But in this case? Nope. Nothing she did was illegal... just being an insensitive person. For those who question how you can be so cruel, I can imagine dispatchers losing their sensitivity quite quickly on the job. Except for calls that shouldn't be made to 911, every call is a life/property threatening call. Imagine hearing these for 8 hours a day; you'll quickly learn to dissociate from it, otherwise you will never be able to handle that job. --- |

| Topic | Loans with negative interest rates? It's happening! |
| IdiotMachine 08/23/19 11:07:14 PM #1 | We're in pretty uncharted territory here, where a ton of loans and bonds are in negative yields (e.g., you borrow $100 but only need to pay back $95). US has been resistive to this, but Japan, Germany, and other European countries are all over it. How do you think this will end? --- |

| Topic | Any HVAC experts? Exhausting portable AC Into return air duct? |
| IdiotMachine 08/23/19 10:25:29 PM #7 | tullock posted... The air handler relies on those returns to maintain airflow so if you're dumping hot air into a return, it's likely going to reduce how effectively it conditions the air. How close is the nearest vent to your bedroom? The air return vent is in my bedroom. I have two total air return vents in my bedroom; I also have two air supply vents from the central air system in my bedroom. I don't intend to use the central air regularly... Since it's just so ineffective cooling the entire house. --- |

Unsugarized_Foo posted... Cant just close the vents to everything but your bedroom? When the central AC didn't cool down the house during a heat wave, I called an HVAC tech. He said the central AC unit is undersized got the size of our house. I asked if I can close all the vents except for where I care about, and he cautioned closing too many vents. --- |

| Topic | Any HVAC experts? Exhausting portable AC Into return air duct? |
| IdiotMachine 08/23/19 9:24:35 PM #1 | My central air system is not big enough to cool down my entire house. The main hall (two living rooms, dining room, small dining room, and kitchen all connected together with no doors or significant walls for an "open area concept") doesn't really get that hot without the AC on, but the bedrooms do. I feel like it's a huge waste of $$$ to cool the entire house to just cool the bedroom... So I'm thinking of buying a portable AC for the bedroom. However, in my bedroom, I have casement windows that open outwards, so any window options are a no go. I also don't want to drill a hole through the wall to the outside. Is it okay if I exhaust into my return air system of my central AC unit? I don't intend to turn on the central AC, so it wouldn't be overloaded with the hot air it's drawing in from the return vent. I am aware that this means I will be essentially moving the hot air from my bedroom into other rooms of the house using the return system......... but I think I'm okay with that. --- |
| Topic | Trump signs executive order cancelling student loan debt for disabled veterans |
| IdiotMachine 08/21/19 10:10:44 PM #16 | This is a good thing. Permanently disabled folks, who cannot maintain a full time career due to the nature of their disability, already get government aid. If they have federal student loans, what good is it for the government to pay the person a disability welfare, only to have the person pay back the government for the student loan? It's the government paying itself. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/17/19 12:27:11 PM #15 | Jiek_Fafn posted... Also a dryer installation is a pretty easy process. Oh? I watched videos and it seems like you need special valves to install it onto the dryer (why doesn't this come pre-installed at the factory?), then special liquids for the threads and checking for gas leaks. --- |
| Topic | I'm having a gas dryer being delivered today. How much to tip? |
| IdiotMachine 08/17/19 12:10:54 PM #13 | stone posted... Appliance stores usually charge a little extra for installation, over simply having it delivered. So yeah, why would I give a tip for a service I already paid for? Samsung checkout didn't give me an option for installation. When I called Samsung, they said installation is usually not included, but when I called XPO, they said installation is included. Hence why I'm not entirely sure if I should tip or not... Like are XPO delivery folks going above and beyond what Samsung paid them? Or is it actually included? Bleh. --- |

So the old one is going into the second laundry room in the basement, which I already moved (didn't want the delivery guys to give me shit and threaten to not deliver the package to our primary laundry room... If they were this much of an asshole, I would definitely not tip). --- |
| Topic | I'm having a gas dryer being delivered today. How much to tip? |
| IdiotMachine 08/17/19 12:02:37 PM #10 | The most controversial tip I gave for a service in my house was to the Comcast tech who came and installed my internet. I tipped him $20, and he was extremely surprised. He ended up giving me a bunch of HDMI in various lengths (two 50ft ones, because I mentioned I needed long ones) and ethernet cables for free afterwards (which is why I think that was controversial). --- |
