  1. Cooking gloves DO NOT stand up to conformal coating.
  2. Me too (well smoker, no Weber), but it dried out a lot over time. I'm going to clean it up and use this restorer on it.
  3. Light switches and outlets come with instructions? Colors aren't needed. Everyone knows the little one is hot, the round one is ground. It was merely a question of amusement. Irrelevant since it's obvious anyway.
  4. You didn't understand what I wrote. Colored terminals have been a thing all my life. Its WHICH color.
  5. No siesta.
  6. Today I was called a leftist because I explained to someone how to keep a syringe sterile, and not follow some really retarded non-sterile advice. Well documented stuff. What the actual fucking fuck? Free thinking medical procedures; viruses love this one weird trick.
  7. Jesus fuck. AnD tHEy'Re SO hEAvy. I've also seen that explanation on speed ratings, and thought it was rated at 70F. There's also a delamination thing they talk about. The load would have to go with it, because full speed with full load is gonna be very different from unloaded.
  8. It will get much better once we deport all the Mexicans and white people do this work.
  9. This is what I did on the Rivian in both weight rating and speed rating. Some idiots were freaked out about it, because it's a magic number or something. Softer tires ride better. Same as I had done on my 2500. I do have to keep under 117 MPH I think?
  10. Oooooohhhh.....all the smart switches and outlets have black screws. Probably why I was thinking that. Until recently I would only remove regular ones, not add them. Just recently I got a bunch of smart bulbs and now the dumb switches and outlets need to go back. And now, many of them are going neutral-free.
  11. My last three houses have had neutrals in the switch boxes. Before that, I have no idea. I noticed because they are necessary for most smart switches, which I only started using in the 90s. For the three ways there's a neutral at the main, and none at the remote if the remote is single-gang. Yesterday I was the asshole electrician, I ran a black/red with plain ground in the yard. Because again, free direct-burial 12# wire is nothing to throw out. Am I imagining things? Didn't switches and outlets used to have a black screw and a silver one? Now they are all silver and gold, with the latter being the hot/black. I have only recently depleted my hoard of old electrical parts and had to buy new.
  12. Yeah that's the plan. I had four 3/4" dowels. Not enough. Also one end has to have perfect alignment due to having a vise. Didn't plan for that.
  13. Oh, foam versus brush. YES! If you have off-road tires you need both. Street, brush only. I did a couple more tires today.
  14. They HAVE brake pads, they don't USE brake pads. I almost never touch the brakes; regen does it, one-pedal driving. One of the HUGE (YUGE) benefits of EVs. Brake jobs are 400k mile things, another reason they cost so much less. I have really considered going to..well, the Darkside.
