I thought I would post this. Palmetto State Armory has their stripped lowers for just $30 each... No limit. These do not appear to be blems. Pretty nice price if any of you guys are in a building mood! Naturally, these have to go through an FFL. So there will be a transfer fee to be factored...

Realistically, in your opinion, what should the maximum someone should pay today, for an easy access, electric water heater replacement?... Say a 40 gallon?

Girsan makes a beautiful pistol. They're even available in gold, if you want to go that far with bling. I have a Tisas Regent Hi-Power Stainless Steel clone, and it looks and runs beautifully. https://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=390488&zipcode=86404

If I remember, radio waves move at, or very close to the speed of light. During the Apollo Moon missions, the time it took for the radio waves, (voice transmissions), had about a 1-1/2 second lag, from when they were transmitted, to when we received them. The Moon is 240,000 miles from Earth...

I know what you mean. I save all the receipts from my gun purchases. And it's unbelievable how much they have gone up over the years.... But so has everything else.

Getting into a bit of thread drift here,..... BUT, you saved yourself a bundle. There are people out there who end up paying a fortune for jobs like these.

I should also add the addendum this only applies if you finish the job, by running the high pressure relief valve pipe into the floor drain. ;)

Using my current Plumbing / Firearm Work vs. Reward Conversion Tables, I'm going with at least 1 handgun of your choice, and possibly a new AR...... And this includes taking into consideration, "The 3 P's". Price Price and Price 1). A price you can afford 2). A price that will never increase...

Well, I wasted no time applying the savings on my DIY water heater job, to pick up another gun. Palmetto State Armory just got in some really nice Browning Hi-Power clones. These are produced by Inglis in Turkey. I just picked it up yesterday afternoon from my FFL. It is an unbelievably...

So they don't really "move".... They more or less bump into one another? A bit like a loose length of rope, and you give one end a hard shake. The "wave" of rope travels down its length very quickly, but the rope itself doesn't go anywhere? A bit like that?

Isn't that the truth.

Here is the whole thing with water heater, "warranties". And appliance warranties in general... How much are you going to be inconvenienced to have them make good on it? Assuming they even do. If the thing starts leaking before the warranty is up, (like mine did), you're going to want it...

But that's what people do. Most everything that moves exceptionally fast, is compared to, "the speed of light". And because there is nothing faster, (at least nothing that we currently know of), it becomes a sort of standard that other things are compared to. Lightning moving from the clouds to...

That thing looks promising. But for the $40.00+ they're charging, you could easily make one up out of either brass, copper, or galvanized fittings.

For those of you with electrical knowledge. How about the speed of electricity through a high tension line? I'm talking about the big, high voltage, high tension power lines that stretch for miles across the country. That are carrying hundreds of thousands of volts. I've heard both. It is at...

The fact that it is at best a couple of inches long, and traveling at 186,000 MILES PER SECOND make for a pretty amazing shot.

This is a photon of light captured passing through a 2 liter Coke bottle at a trillion frames per second. I have no idea how they did this, but I am assuming that time is at a complete stand still for the photon, as it is doing this?

I was glad I did it after it was all finished. Not only from a cost saving perspective. But the fact that I proved to myself that I still COULD do it. Sometimes the pain is worth the gain in more ways than one.

Even William Shatner has trouble with this kind of stuff.

The last gas water heater I changed out was not leaking. But I was getting a lot of tiny white calcium particles, that were getting trapped in my sink aerators. And there just didn't seem to be much hot water in general. So I changed it out because I really didn't know what else it could be. It...
