Some old time electricians did this and trained their staff to do this. Newer electricians are likely to use back stabs and cheapest method as possible, and will forego the electrical tape. Electrical tape is EXPENSIVE now. It’s 10 times the cost it was 20 years ago.

I really like the RT43 tires. My next set will be the RT45’s.

Way back 20-30 years ago, Honda recommended 10,000 mile oil changes and to change the oil filter every 20,000 miles. And this was with a cheap $3-$4 filter. I tried it. Saw no problems. Been doing it ever since for probably almost a million miles without ever an issue. I’d say you can run an...

Car is used daily for 1 mile short trips and you put a 40 weight oil in it. Makes perfect sense.

Above is spot on. I would NOT buy a home in an area that requires flood insurance. It’s getting harder and harder to get a policy and more and more expensive. Dealing with insurance is a pain in the neck. They won’t even insure a new policyholder if your roof is older than 15 years old, or will...

Tires are supposed to be changed every 6 years. At only 1000 miles a year, I’d just put the cheapest set (Made in USA, Canada, or Korea)on from your local tire dealer.

I believe the code calls for AFCI or GFCI breakers on almost all circuits on newer homes. These are notorious for tripping. My son’s room kept tripping these new breakers every day. I went back to the basics, took all the outlets out and saw that they were using the back stabs and then...

On most generators of this type, you take the outlets off and the white wire (neutral) will be bolted to the green (ground) wire. This is a bonded neutral. You must break the bond when hooking it up to the house via a 240V 30 amp cord. Your electrical panel will have the grounds and neutrals...

Look up who makes the oil for TruFuel. There is an oil certification on the side. You might be surprised. (VPRacing)

HST is premium, law enforcement, top of the line defensive ammo. It will typically have sealed bullets, sealed primers, more quality control, better low flash powders, more research and development dollars, etc. Not to say that Punch is bad, but it’s not marketed towards the top end of the...

Replace the outlet with a new one? $5

They are building a new highway in Florida that will charge electric cars while driving. Uses the same technology that phones use when using cordless chargers. If a city was to install these wireless charging stations and wireless charging roads , then an electric police vehicle could make sense.

They installed directional tires backwards for me once. Another time, they took hours and I asked the manager for a discount. They refunded the install AND the tires. 4 tires mounted and balanced , installed, for free?! Ok. Sure.

Don’t use bird shot for self defense. Only in very limited cases would you want to use bird shot. #4 Buckshot is what you want. I know an actual case of a dead cop that is dead because he reloaded his gun with birdshot instead of buckshot. Birdshot cannot disable a DETERMINED attacker or one...

Primary defensive firearm? Outside the home it’s a pistol, since open carrying of rifles and shotguns is pretty much frowned up everywhere. In the home, it’s a long gun ALWAYS. Period. I’ll always pick a long gun. I have extensive gun training and a long gun will work over a pistol. It’s not...

$50-$130 batteries??!! Exactly why I went with Ryobi. I buy 4AH batteries all year long for $18-$22 each, brand new from Home Depot during the sales. I have a ton of them. I have a blower, three chain saws, a weed trimmer, and many power tools. I keep a $49 1/2 Ryobi impact, $4 lug socket, and...

You need to move those assets out of that rip off and into something like a 3 fund portfolio. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio

PCC vs shotgun. The topic at hand. The PCC is the ideal home defense weapon for 95% of American homeowners that can legally own a gun and want to defend their home with a firearm. A pump shotgun is an experts weapon and ideally should have an experts amount of training before operating. I...

Wait, they still offer a warranty on an 8 year old car with 140k miles?

I’m a multi platform armorer , former police armorer and former police officer, and current semi retired armed security officer.I have followed this P320 closely. The drop safety recall from very early P320 did fix the issue. New guns are safe and there is not a single verified instance of the...
