PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

I mean, of course you'd want to keep wren away from her.  He's a sleazy old man who gets drunk at hooters every day.  I see no problem introducing her to a nice gentleman who could also get you into munkyflix...

Replacing the current one? Should be about as simple as reconnecting the hose and plugging it in like the old one.

No I don't have one now, the condensation drains into a bucket. I'm mostly concerned about the little safety shutoff wires or whatever, I don't know what they do or what they'd hook up to. Everything else (running hose and plugging it in to an outlet) of course I know how to do.

Long goofy story:

When I bought the house, the nitwits who had been fixing it up had cut down the washing machine drainage pipe down about 2 feet so that they could run some hosing from the A/C into the pipe. This seemed weird to us, so we fixed up the pipe so I could install a washing machine, and then ran the A/C hose to a ground drain that was in front of the A/C unit. My mom was helping me with all this and she's never had an A/C unit in her life (swamp cooler) so we figured everything would be fine and the ground drain would catch any water coming out of the A/C hose. How much water could an A/C generate?

HOLY SHIT DOES AN A/C CREATE A fuckING HUGE AMOUNT OF WATER! First summer there one day I walk downstairs to a gigantic puddle of water. I honestly didn't believe it was the A/C units fault, I thought it was ground water or something. But it was definitely from the A/C unit. The drain it was hooked too was completely backed up (no idea why? maybe it's just a fake drain pipe that runs into the ground? No fucking clue there.) and had just overflowed water all over the floor. So after figuring out what it was, I started draining the A/C into a big bucket, which during peak heat days here has to be dumped every day. Last year I found out that they make pumps to take care of this shit, no clue why the original nitwits didn't just buy a $50 pump and instead ruined the original drainage pipe.

Anyways, I'd like to get one installed this year so I don't have to keep messing around with emptying huge buckets of water all summer. Had an HVAC guy come take a quick look at it, and said he would set it up for me, but it would cost like $250 for parts and labor. He told me to just go buy a pump for $50 and do it myself. So that's where I am now.

This is really interesting.

I was watching Jim Sterling's video last week, it was about Star Fox and how the shoe-horned gyro controls ruined the experience for him. Anyways, he had tons of footage from Metal Gear Solid, GTA V, and other games strewn in there along with Star Fox. I thought it was fucking weird.

I shut the video off about half way through because he was getting repetitive. But at the end apparently he explained why. Because Nintendo always hits Youtube videos with Content ID claims, he mixed in a bunch of other clips from his past videos that also had been hit with Content ID claims. 

That way he would get three or four different claims from different companies, and Youtube couldn't automatically ad commercials to his video because there was no way to determine who the monetization should go to.

Not a fan of his by any stretch but that's pretty crafty.

Loaded up Bully and my eyes started to bleed when I saw the opening cut scene. Its awful. And the game itself isnt much better. Somehow I thought the game would be cleaned up like Vice City was but I guess not since it was never released later on PC?

I've gotten over it and am well on my way to hating that piece of shit Gary again.

 
While looking down the barrel of 10 hours of cramming and still likely failing my physics test tomorrow, I decided to drop the class. I've never dropped a class before. I feel a huge sense of relief though and now I'm going to have way more free time. Maybe I'll buy that keyboard.

You don't have to hook up those safety shutoff wires. A lot of A/C techs don't because it's redundant. The safety shutoff is designed to prevent your A/C from running if the pump fails, but most A/C units have a shutoff designed into them that is supposed to prevent them from running if the pan fills with water. You would have to find a manual for your A/C unit to know where to connect the wires; another reason a lot of techs don't hook them up as they don't always have the manual for the unit there working on.

With that being said, you should be able to install the pump pretty easily yourself; like you said. Where are you running the drain hose to?

Also, sounds like your ground drain could use a good roto-rooter treatment.
 
All this Nintendo talk in here today is pretty timely...

Today they announced in a press conference that they sold off their majority stake in the Seattle Mariners. A franchise valued at 1.2 billion. They reduced their stake down to 10%. As a point of reference they bought the franchise in 1992 for in the neighborhood of one hundred million dollars.

No telling if their cash woes prompted the sale, but it is hard to imagine that if they were still cash rich like they were even 5 years ago, that they would have sold this much of the team.

They didn't announce how much the transaction was for.

Well, I'm sure it was their plan to make money all along. But buying it 24 years ago, they obviously weren't looking to make a quick buck. You could say when Yeamouchi (spelled horribly) died a few years back, the original owner (kind of weird to say that Nintendo owns the Mariners... would be like if Bill Gates bought the Seahawks but we say that the Seahawks are owned by Microsoft rather than saying Bill Gates owns them), the passion to own a team died. But he didn't seem to much care for the team. He never once saw his team play in person if you can imagine that.

I'm surprised they kept 10%. I'm not sure why they would want to do that. Other than maybe still being able to say they own a baseball team? Allowing them free advertising at the stadium like Crunchsplatewy mentioned?
