The "N" in V.I.N. stands for Number, It peeves me when people say VIN Number, and if you are a pro I just want to dot your eye.
Same goes for the difference between Venomous and Poisonous. Snakes are Venomous, not Poisonous.

All of my hatchbacks did as did two of my wagons.
Four German cars, one Swedish car, five Japanese cars had bolts. Two American cars, one quasi-Swedish car, and two Japanese had studs.
The studded Japanese had fine thread lugs. 55ft-lb torque on the lugs is nice.

ATM Machine. So.. it... an Automatic Teller Machine Machine?
In reply to MulletTruck :
Or a HOT water heater?
In reply to SaltyDog :
Most of the time, it's maintaining temp.. so it kind of is a hot water heater. Once or twice a day it might become a cold water heater if it's undersized.
To be fair, ask for a water temperature maintainer at a plumbing store and see where that gets you.
I'm glad the men in my family die quickly from massive heart attacks instead of having organs slowly decided to intermittently fail like my father in law. No one should have to go through this.
ABS = Antilock Braking System
please don't call it an ABS system.
In reply to Wally :
Yeah it's not good. Dad got the massive heart attack which he survived but his kidneys failed and his heart was too weak to handle a transplant and he was given a month to live. He lived another nine months with things shutting down one after another as his body slowly poisoned itself. It was hell for him and for us.
I do not want to go out that way.

So, what temp is your water when it comes into the appliance in question versus when it leaves?

What is the average temp of the contents of the tank when the thermostat kicks on? 
In reply to Knurled. :
cooler than when it kicks off.

Oh ok I accidently bought a container of cheap multi vitamins for women 50+ that I just threw in the trash but I'm not ticked about it.
I'd keep them, unless you threw them away because of the cheapness and you're concerned about their being safe or not. Take one every third day or so; it's not like they're laced with estrogen. Still just vitamins. Mostly you'd just get expensive urine.
I'm interested in this expensive urine. Is it marketable? 
Yeah. It was cheap WM brand. I'd love to hear your thoughts on a better way to ensure proper vitamin intake as I am a lazy lousy eater. Thanks in advance. Nutherjrfan.
Haven't had a dental issue in a couple of years (possibly a record for me, I have terrible teeth) but tomorrow I'm heading for Florida to pick up my step mother and bringing her back up on Friday. Which means of course, that a giant filling would fail last night and crumble out of my head. Now I have to see if I can get something today that fits in my last minute work schedule. Yay.
Water in our town got yucky and not clear for not easily explainable or believable reasons.
If you are going to send something for me to test, maybe make sure you put the right berkeleying parts in it.
I hate Charlotte

Had a water main break last week upstream of my place of work.
Apparently I was the first to experience some of the results as I backed away from the autoflushing urinal as it began to expel black water and particulate matter.
So glad that stuff didn't come out of me!

My wife, the Registered Dietitian, has me taking a Mens 1 a day supplement, along with a Vitamin D supplement. The 1-a-day is likely just giving me expensive (and unmarketable, to my knowledge) piss, since we eat a mostly vegan diet--but nothing is even close to being toxic, so it can't hurt.
The vitamin D supplement is because we're white, and even if we did sunbathe for 12 hours at this time of year in our spot on the earth we would never get enough. So we take a double dosage of that. Probably don't need the double dosage, but she figures that both of us are extremely pale, don't absorb the sun easily anyways, and Vitamin D is essential to keep you happy and avoid depression.
Other than that, we take a Vitamin B12 about once a month or so, but even that is likely overkill. If you eat meat, don't worry about that one.
She is sort of picky about her brands, but she still buys them at Costco so she can't be that picky. If you're curious though, I'd compare the ingredients in the womens vs the mens. Probably the only significant difference is more iron and/or more calcium in the womens vitamin.
At the end of the day, you're much better off getting your nutrients the way God/Allah/Nature intended: From plants. If you're lazy, I'd recommend a breakfast smoothie every day. Or even three times a week. Use frozen berries, banana, water, and throw in some dark leafy's (I like arugula for the nutrients, but it tastes like E36 M3. Use spinach for least taste, or even a mix--we freeze a mix of spinach, arugula, kale, sprouts, and various lettuces). I also blend some raw oatmeal prior to making the smoothie into a powder, then throw everything in there. Makes it stick with you and increases the fiber content. It really is a solid breakfast.
Source, citing some real studies, saying that basically the multivitamins don't do E36 M3.
Same source as above, with various sources, on Vitamin D and More Vitamin D

WHAT!! Arugula is delicious. My favorite salad starts with an entire bed of Arugula, no other lettuces.

Well, Bully for you!
I actually like it myself as well, but I've heard a lot of negative feedback from folks who don't eat as much veggies as we do.

My favorite pizza has arugula, a touch of Caesar-type dressing, and prosciutto on it. Berking delicious.

Arugula is probably our favorite leafy green, followed shortly by raw spinach (used to HATE spinach, but that's because the only way I ever saw it was cooked and slimy). We use Arugula with lots of stuff, but our favorite use is on baked sweet potatoes with taco meat (I add hot sauce and sour cream, SWMBO just puts butter on it).

How long do smoothies hold up in the fridge? I want to start having them in the morning but I know I won't ever get round to making them in the morning.
