I can't see him still being alive by then. He's going to have a stroke or coronary before then.

Well, yeah. When you're planning a military coup against a fascist regime you don't announce it ahead of time.

No, their guns will be their line in the sand

They get to interpret what an official act is, though.

Remember that the US military is absolute garbage at fighting against guerilla tactics.

I don't think we have long before Trump starts going after personal gun ownership, and that's when those folks will be crucial.

Please let me move there first

Exactly. This is also why having controls in your car be strictly touch screen is dangerous.

People who are very knowledgeable in their field often have trouble "dumbing" things down. They make a lot of assumptions of base level knowledge that genpop doesn't possess.

I admit that I was that way for a while with IT, but I guess my mother being a teacher left me with the skill of being able to relate my knowledge to something they're familiar with.

It got easier once I realized that if everyone possessed the knowledge that I do, I'd be out of a job. Also made dealing with tech illiterate people much easier.

Our democracy ended on January 20th.

Also, the "I got mine" group is about to lose all of what they got.

Yeah, but I'm sure they're not happy with him trying to bypass their power, so there might be hope

Lol, it remains to be seen if the dude throwing Nazi salutes is a nazi

 

Our dryer crapped out a few months ago. It wasn't heating up, so I ordered a new heating element. It came with all new sensors, so I installed those too. One of the wire connectors was a bit loose, but I figured it would be fine.

Today, it stopped again, so I took off the back panel and sure enough, the wire was off. Plugged it back in, but no luck.

It's probably the thermal fuse, but I'm considering paying the $95 to have my home warranty send someone out to just fix it.

I'm only in the hole $25 so far, so maybe I'll replace everything again and see.

My suspicion is that there's something shorting out, though. It's definitely not a clogged vent, because I'm anal about clearing the trap after every cycle, and the vent pipe to the attic looks squeaky clean inside (and the vent tube from the dryer is clean too.

Edit: while typing this I realized that the loose wire probably caused the short, so I'll try to replace that sensor before calling someone. Thanks for being my rubber duckie.

Update: Problem solved. The loose wire was to the high temperature cut-off that sits in the coil housing. This caused the coil to get too hot and pop.
