  • I’m in the middle of it right now but I’ve got an old plug in oil heater that I decided to pop open the cover and have a look-see before condemning myself to buying another for probably $100ish.

    I am so far from comfortable working on electronics or woodworking or traditional guy stuff, but this radiator is old in the sense of it’s built like a brick shit house and hooked up to a simple mechanical switch with 3 wires, one of which is the power cord that finally disintegrated from the heat.

    It’s so simply built even I can feel confident swapping out for a new mechanical switch and some new wiring.










  • Won’t anyone think of the entitled racists?! Their voluntarily given testimony was used against them in court and they don’t like that! They don’t think they deserve life in prison! So what if they used racial slurs on social media that doesn’t mean that they deserve to be treated like criminals! Unfairly slapped with federal hate crime charges!

    /s

    What is it with troglodytes like these who whine that the justice system is treating them unfair. Somethingsomething I’m a good white person who made a mistake once so I don’t deserve to be thrown in prison. The level of entitlement is appalling

    "Evidence of evolution

    The extreme detour of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, about 4.6 metres (15 ft) in the case of giraffes,[32]: 74–75  is cited as evidence of evolution, as opposed to intelligent design. The nerve’s route would have been direct in the fish-like ancestors of modern tetrapods, traveling from the brain, past the heart, to the gills (as it does in modern fish). Over the course of evolution, as the neck extended and the heart became lower in the body, the laryngeal nerve remained in its original course."

    I think this is what he was getting at
