Re: Who fixes their own stuff?
My water and power company initiated a promotion. You pay $25, tax and shipping and you get a $250 unit. It did not take the 15 minute estimate to install. It took multiple efforts. It was a device you attached to your water meter and it would tell you if you had a leak. It is powered by lithium bat...

Re: Who fixes their own stuff?
Since December, I fixed a shutter magnet, a toilet, items under the hood in the car. The literature said not to do the washer hose replacement yourself. It also said do a replacement after 5 years. It had been 13 years and I paid a small fee to have it done. Don't avoid that expense. When I was in L...

Re: New 18650 owner
Like so many people, I end up with piles of things. 18650 - two different kinds. Some devices work with one or the other. Some devices work with both. Instead of putting a 18650 battery in a device that requires the same, you can put a plastic insert which which contain smaller batteries, either aka...

Re: US shared intel with UK showing 'high likelihood' of COVID-19 lab leak: report
I wonder if we will ever know the truth behind the otubreak
Truth is subjective. Facts are objective. No one has admitted anything since Geo. Washington cut down the cherry tree. Even then, he complained that the axe was rusty.

Re: The Relentless Pursuit of Donald Trump
The Republican Congressman from NY City. Maybe the Texas Representative indicted last week. Maybe the Senator who had his savings in gold bars in his living room that had been reported stolen in 2013?

Re: New 18650 owner
Response to Bob and the 18650 rechargeable. I came to a decision point to deal with rechargeables: 1. Every flashlight, communication device, controller, game camera, motion detector I owned eventually became capable of using rechargeable batteries. 2. Rechargeable batteries could be charged hundred...

Re: The Relentless Pursuit of Donald Trump
We'll see how things go for all of those DA's after their foolishness gets Trump elected. I will be brutally honest in my response. Whether their "foolishness" gets Mr. Trump elected is not their concern. Their focus is on securing their position and getting ready for promotion to a higher...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2024?
I was taking academic classes locally and had special office supplies for the same. In person classes at the local JC, State College and University were cancelled 4 years ago and in person classes have not been restarted. I guess administrators, professors and teachers found it easier not to physica...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2024?
Many years ago I put a sprinkler system on the house and the garage. Inverted sprinkler system. Originally, I was told that it was possible to do a remote turn-on/turn-off system by telephone. When push came to shove, that person disappeared and I did a manual turn-on/turn-off system and showed a ne...
