Twisted Sister needs to be included in things we won't do and things we want to do.

We are working on our bathroom this week, and I realized there's a non-GFCI (or whatever the correct name is) outlet just by the 1983 tub, where you'd put your radio. I dubbed it the suicide outlet.

Probably should change that out...

Is there another GFCI receptacle in the bathroom? If so, the plain one may be worse downstream of it and protected by it. Easy to verify by punching the test button on the GFCI unit and seeing whether it cuts power to the other receptacle. 

Meme (pic) not related, but still plenty terrifying. 

In reply to DarkMonohue :

There is a modern one on the other side of the tub. I'll try that. I might just disconnect the suicide outlet if it's at the end of the line, and I suspect it is given where it is relative to the rest of the power in the room.

In reply to Keith Tanner :

Let me know what you find. NEC 210.8 says bathroom receptacles "shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection".  It does not say that individual outlets must be of GFCI type. If your suicide outlet is protected by the GFCI outlet then you should be code compliant from what I am reading.

'70s food shows that Americans barely made it until fast food took over. We would have probably starved by 1987.

In honor of the Three Mile Island meltdown:

I threw up a post on Faceballs Indy 500 past, present, future group and my guy got taken down.  Apparently a discussion is too violent?

I've ridden the train many times, in fact I proposed to my wife on the BNSF Commuter Line from the western suburbs - 12/13/1985. 

When were they this clean and modern looking? 

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

I know. I was skeptical about using that pic. All the Budd cars I've ridden look like Jake & Elwood would have been at home on

In reply to Appleseed :

I've felt they've always had a 1950's, never updated feel to it.  

In reply to Appleseed :

I much prefer my passenger cars of the clerestory-roof variety with the walkover seats. I find it fascinating that seating designed at the turn of the century still have better ergonomics than modern seats.
