    DMV - this is ridiculous

    Yesterday I went to register a trailer I built. Was told there were no more 'tickets (eg appointments)' for the day, I'd have to come back Monday. Apparently, they begin distributing appointments at 6am, but they advised I arrive between 4:30 and 5am to get in line as getting there at 5:30am...

    Black Adder

    He has a major role in each of the 4 seasons, and was partner of Stephen Fry. Show wise, you may be thinking of 'Last of the Summer Wine', it was a mellowish comedy about a group of old guys that were proper but rebellious. The most recognizable of the crew to US folk would be Frank Thornton...

    Anyone invest in stocks?

    Yeah, keeping my eye there atm. I do small stuff to supplement retirement (as I have no retirement account). Tend to buy entertainment and necessity suppliers - Amazon (haven't bought that in a while with the price), Apple, AMD (microchips), Disney, Netflix (again, not in a while), Walmart, etc...

    Black Adder

    If you've got Amazon Prime, try Father Ted. Three priests bored out of their mind on an Irish island. As said, one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. They do an episode that rips off 'Speed' but they're in a milk cart that cant drop below 4mph, a good starter.

    Black Adder

    One of the all time best Brit comedies. A Ralph Norton type who gets reincarnated through the ages. Look out for Father Ted as well. Without doubt the funniest show I've ever seen (even surpasses Python many a time).

    RODI Unit concerns

    My TDS on my unit is always at 0 or 1, but in the container can be elevated. I always assumed it was particulates in the container that caused it by not rinsing the container properly.

    Anyone invest in stocks?

    FYI both Tesla and Apple are splitting before the end of the month. Looks like they’re both doing a 5:1.

    Reef Cleaners ???

    I’ve used RC a few times . Prices are good and they usually overship inverts to compensate for shipping loss. I’ve always had a good experience with exception of my last order, which was at the end of winter, where I had over a 50% doa. In contacting John I had a 50% refund in about a week.

    Wooohooo, new toy

    Thanks E, your posting made me secure in the choice of this thing. And I swear I could aim the RODI tube towards the living room and easily hit my kids. Was initially going to use an Aqualifter but, after seeing their pump in action, am glad I dropped the extra $50.

    Wooohooo, new toy

    So, setup was a bit of a pita. This thing is sensitive, and as it works under pressure in the tube, the angle you insert the tube as well as miniscule adjustments in the depth it is in the water all play a part. So, it may activate the on at a certain depth of insertion, but it wont activate the...
