re: Tic Toc tools

No but I ordered some tools from Vevor (which is probably where they come from). So far so good.
Vevor are cheap Chinese knockoffs and they are still closer to Snap-On than they are to those TicToc tools.

For tools that you only need a couple of times Vevor works great. By the time the Vevor breaks you will know how much you are actually going to use it (or not use it). Then can make a decision on whether it’s worth upgrading to a better brand or buy another for just occasional use.

PYREX is safer. It sustains sudden temperature changes better than Pyrex.
. Yeah. But that’s only “old” PYREX (pre-late 90s) when they were made with borosilicate. The newer pyrex is soda lime. It’s also easy to tell if it’s soda lime because it will have a green or blueish tint to the glass.

I think Europe still uses borosilicate, but I’m not sure. But the old stuff is worth picking up at garage sales or estate sales because it really is much better.

No one listen to her. She’s an LSU fan for softball only, but she is otherwise and Ole Miss fan.

A few Threads started by her praising Ole Miss (pretty much all other threads started are about softball or bashing LSUs other sports)

Her only positive posts are about Ole Miss (Here’s a small sampling. There are many many more)

Sounds like he was still an active coach until Michigan hired him:

I’m sure the club you work at frowns on their janitors talking about members like this. You are just there to pick up after the members and not give a commentary.

FDR had secretaries, like other presidents, sign some things for him


This is very possible. Autopen wasn’t really used then and the first documented autopen use by the White House was Truman. But FDR did use secretaries a lot to mimic his signature a bunch.

Same. As she got older she started looking at me as soon as there was a doorbell sound. If I didn't move she just put her head back down. Now she's deaf so she doesn't give a shite one way on another :lol:

Why do you give a shite that an Australian company (Plenary) that has been fraudulently overcharging and attaching hidden fees is getting (in your words) “shafted.”?

Edit: And Kapsch TrafficCom who collects the tolls is an Austrian company.

He kept missing 3s and someone told him:

There will be times when you are going to think that you are shooting in the ocean from the boat, and we all know times when we are going to miss it from the deck. Focus on the swing, and do the small things right.

He must have thought they were talking about fishing.

Sort of, the car is still producing the same cool or heat temp no matter what the setting once it has been running long enough.. Difference is that there auto systems blend in air to slow or increase the rate of change. But it's not like if you set it to 78 that it will blow out 78 degree air. It doesn't work that way


I know how a blend door works, but wasn’t going to go into depth explaining in my post how heat from the heater core and cool air from the condensing coil is blended through a blend door/actuator to obtain a temperature.

People are familiar with the fact that they can slightly raise or lower their temp in a car and have the air blow at a slightly higher or lower temp from their vents. It wasn’t important to our conversation about home AC because that’s not how home ACs work. But for someone that doesn’t know how the systems work I could understand why they think a house might work that way.

It’s pretty easy to show people how the HVAC in the home works. All you have to do is get a cheap infrared thermometer and show them the temp at the return and then show them the temp at a vent. You can show that the air blows about the same temp no matter what they set it at. But then you may be stuck trying to explain “temperature drop” between the return and the vent (or both sides of the evaporator coil) as the house continues to cool down.

Just watched Holiday Affair like we do every Dec 23. Great movie.

Lemon Drop kid with Bob Hope is good and hasn’t been mentioned.

The shop around the corner (1940) is good and has been remade a bunch of times (like You’ve Got Mail).

Just FYI. Most years you could find almost all of the ones listed so far on one of the streaming services. But this year a bunch weren’t available. If you can’t find something you want to see check archive.org under their movies section and it may be available to stream from there.
