    Eagles in Alaska

    THIS is why humans must not feed eagles. They get really big and fat and they can't fly any more because their feathers change into fur.

    Small 2 channel audio amplifier connection

    There is nothing wrong with using an 8 ohm amplifier on a line system with a few speakers, other than it may not be loud enough. That is because the maximum output voltage of a small 8 ohm amp is less than 70 volts. If the volume is sufficient for your application you can leave it as it is...

    I was hoping for a simple answer not a goose chase.

    OBD-1 Male Connector

    OBD-1 systems did not have a standard connector. It varied between manufacturers and model years.

    Briggs & Stratton Tire Sealant

    I have an ATV tire that leaks in several different places through cracks in the sidewall. Would any of these products work?

    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    My change to soccer rules would be to make it like hockey where players can be substituted freely at any time.

    Metal carport garage roof leak

    I think you're saying the patch on the bullet hole is holding now but there is a pinhole nearby. You could probably patch a pinhole from inside. Do you see daylight through it if you are inside with the lights off?

    Need help - car accident near Lake Havasu?

    My condolences. At some point you can get the report from the police that were involved, but it may be a while to conclude the investigation of a fatal crash.

    Ring camera/ doorbell— happy to have

    "POSTED" and/or "NO SOLICITING" signs would be a good investment. The problem with cameras having only local storage is that the crooks can take the camera and then you have no pictures. If they try that with a cloud-connected camera you usually get a perfect close-up face shot as they're...

    Never ever had a car with a working AC

    "R-12a" is a mixture of butane and propane. Other than being a VOC it is not subject to environmental regulations. The propane is much more volatile and it will preferentially leak out. This means if you repeatedly "top off" a leaky system, eventually the system will contain the wrong mixture...

    Negative equity

    It's called "force-placed insurance" and it will increase the payment greatly, usually leading the buyer to default.

    Plug and Play Home Solar coming to the USA

    Even in places that have substantial deployment of utility scale solar farms, that has not happened yet. Rates remain higher in the daytime than at night. Eventually the situation may reach a turn-over point, and then commercial storage operations become viable. A battery installation needs...

    Plug and Play Home Solar coming to the USA

    I have not looked at the actual laws, but it seems that you should be free to attach whatever you want to the input side of the inverter including: * Oversized solar array to maintain full 1200 watts AC output at hours of low sun angles or clouds. * Battery storage-- charged by oversized solar...

    Plug and Play Home Solar coming to the USA

    The payback is that some of your daytime consumption comes directly from your solar rather than through the electric meter. Thus you save the retail price. To the utility you're still a standard grid connected house, only using less.

    Eagles in Alaska

    Native tribes can have their own rules for most wildlife on Tribal land, but that does not apply to eagles. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940 is very strict.

    Need AC adapter

    The 3/8 thread (flare for 3/16 tubing size) was used on the high side of later R-12 cars so people couldn't put their basic cheap can hose on the high side by mistake. All the fittings were changed for R-134a to discourage mixing of refrigerants during the transition era. A mixture of the two...

    In the original post, the entire truck including the tow ball is inside the lines that define a parking space.

    767 hits bakery truck and light pole landing at EWR

    For things that are obviously their fault, airlines usually offer an immediate and more than fair settlement to keep it out of the news and the courts.

    Air Conditioner High Low Pressure

    The compressor noise is likely due to abnormally high pressure and it may be fine once the fan is working. As you noticed keeping the engine from overheating really doesn't need the fan unless the car sits still for a rather long time.

    Three people sentenced for bear suit insurance scam with luxury cars

    It really was the stupidest crime ever. They thought wearing a bear suit and doing it in front of a camera would make it more credible. They would have had a better chance of getting away with it without that.
