Re: MRF Home DIY: What type of conduit to use on exterior brick? - 20 days ago

Not impressive. Inappropriate for the application, not legal by code for exterior use A home inspector would flag it and it'd need to be replaced when the house is sold. QuoteN-OS X-tasy! Wow - Wiremold surface mount raceway for an exterior application. Pretty impressive.

Re: MRF Home DIY: What type of conduit to use on exterior brick? - 21 days ago

That's not conduit, that is interior use only Wiremold. A homeowner did that, no electrician did. EMT can be used outdoors with waterproof connectors, but rigid conduit would be preferable to be watertight and for ease of use - but you'd need a pipe threader / reamer to make perfect cuts & do it right. I hate seeing PVC outside because it never lays flat and gets wavy over time, and oxidi

2 new AppleTVs. Been waiting years for this release - move 4K units around, have some extra non-4K units. And if you've not updated your OS on your current 4K and calibrated your color - do it - holy cow is that awesome, kudos Apple, you nailed that one!

If you're good at catching snakes, try that no chemicals needed! My grandfather had a mole problem at his farm when I was growing up. I caught a nice 2-1/2' long garter snake, simply went to one of the mole hills, cut it open, in went the snake - and gone went the mole problem!

No it won't I have a 30" vertical on the left, 2 34" stacked on VESA mounts in the center, and 16" Retina on the right. The 30" still holds up awesome after all these years. Quotesekker QuotepRICE cUBE I am contemplating using this in a vertical configuration next to my 30” Apple Display. Careful, that new monitor will make the ACD look rather dull...

Wife has one, loves it. Enough we have bought daughter, and daughter in law units for Christmas presents. She also has an AirWrap, and it's a solid unit as well. I'd go the Dyson refurb route, they are always sending me emails direct. Save the $. The AirWrap was a refurb and indistinguishable from new.

Yep, my 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP both had them. Very very cool and handy, you really got used to having it - till you didn't. Not had it on any car since but I have a 2021 Cadillac CT5-V on order, it's one of it's options that will be included.

Hi - True and not true. We do sell Macs that we refurbish here at OWC, but we also sell Apple factory refurbished items, as well as Apple factory sealed (brand new) items.

Thanks for the comments on the KX cases. Really miss having one on my phone for sure. I won't give exact recommendations but can say that Larry is 100% right on, the internals on the newer phones are more robust and seem to be able to take an impact. It's most important to protect the glass of course, so a good glass screen protector is recommended, and then any case that offers full protectio

RIP, as a Cubs fan I have respect for him. First Cubs game I saw in 1977, we had tickets 3 or 4 rows behind the Dodgers dugout and I was right on the wall heckling Steve Garvey at 1st base mercilessly. Tommy was RIGHT there in the dugout within probably 12-15 feet laughing about it Amazing career, and he will be missed.

It's everywhere. USPS Priority Mail sent from Woodstock, IL Monday 12/6 to Miami arrived yesterday 12/16. Another package sent 12/6 to Austin is still not delivered. It's been sitting in Austin since Monday this week. Priority? Not so much it seems. And of course they don't guarantee delivery. Just says on the label 2-3 day service. USPS SUCKS.

Once you watch that one, you'll want to see the 2nd one. The 3rd was a bit more dry but still a story that needed telling. He was also on the show Who Do You Think You Are (the UK version, of course) in one of the first seasons / episodes. It was also worth seeing. He's bombastic for sure. He also is a superb writer.
