I remember seeing a documentary on the making of Top Gun and how hot the actors got in their back seat rides were on a hot day in San Diego. Not sure why, because I would think the electronics were extremely sensitive to high ambient temperatures. I heard they had to be well cooled.

I went over to take a look. Brought over my laundry as a test and set it to normal mode. I went over the owners manual and some online tips. They said to lay bigger items on the bottom and larger on the top. And also figured out there was a detergent and softener dispenser. The detergent...

Looked it up and it's a maximum of three locations per "operator". Apparently they're not owners because the franchise agreement isn't transferable at all. They have a different model where CFA purchases or leases the property and then rents it to the operator. They also own all the...

It’s a week old, but nobody mentioned new footage released by the NTSB. The engine broke off, then launched upwards before it exploded and sent debris into the rear engine. The way I heard it explained, they had no chance to attain enough thrust once they were down to one engine on takeoff...

My local Costco has a few area with sidewalks. One is at the tire center parking, and another is one side of the disabled parking area. I pass through there, partially because I drive my dad to Costco and he has a disabled parking tag. But sometimes it’s a shortcut to an exit, although it...

From dark meat it’s not just the fat. Skinned cuts of thighs and legs have marginally more fat. But it’s the higher collagen content that adds more flavor.

So the LG set was delivered. Not sure how well my mom is going to learn how to use it. She started asking about the water level setting and all the modes. I get the feeling she’ll never fully understand it. But we set it on “normal” and cold water and it seemed a bit odd. It’s a top loading...

They went out and bought a combo to avoid all the hassle.

Oh - there's a company called Reliable Parts that has a physical store in my area. I've gone there for two thermal fuses and a belt. i'm a little bit frustrated that this thing stopped working in a different manner after I put in all that time to repair it.

Looking at it, the difficulty is going to be in getting it into the back in the box. I think there's only 30 inches height to work with.

My parents asked me to look up what they could get cheap and i remembered that Costco had two Maytag units for $399 ($50 instant rebate) each in store. So we had a look and it seemed OK but they said in store they didn't handle any kind of delivery, installation, or install parts. Definitely...

I mentioned this station last year. Owned by the Yurok Tribe but then closed. Apparently reopened a couple of months ago. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/only-gas-station-in-a-40-miles-stretch-of-us-101-to-close.402921/
