QuoteTed King ... I think there are plenty of women that are running that would probably be a better president than Newsom. I'll admit, though, that I just have a somewhat negative gut feeling about Newsom. There's just something off about him for me. I'd like to know about a few. Been Following Stacy Abrames.

Cleaning a window AC - 24 days ago

Been meaning to do this for years....just never got to it. Unit is at least 12 years old, probably near its time. Four screws, pull.... heavy. Put it on my two wheel dolly, take it outside, Attach a car wash bottle/gun to my hose, use dawn soap, and start spraying. Leaves, dirt, something that looks like black goop. Rinse and repeat. Its 100 F at 6pm, so I spray some water on me.

Re: Outdoor Movie screen and speaker recomentations? - 24 days ago

A local bar uses inflatable screens for watch parties. I think multiple smaller speakers work better than a big speaker or pair blasting sound. JBL supports linking speakers wirelessly. The speaker you chose does have an aux input, which will give you lagless sound (no sync issues)

QuoteGareth I wonder how it gets split up, especially when you run out of space. I.e. Does it get split equally? I.e. 2 users: each gets 1TB. 4 users each gets 500MB. Or is it a free for all? 2 Users, user A uses 1.3TB, user B is using 400MB. But then what happens when if user B tries to use 701MB? I assume it stops working when user B hits 700MB, and then user A would be limited to th
