    ANY ELECTRICIANS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP?

    That's the catch22 with cheapo LED dimmer. They are never really off or potential free on the output so you always get some creepcurrent and with that voltage in it. Removed all dimmers in my house when I converted to LED

    It's Getting Real Out There, Folks

    That's correct, it's all this lean and just in time nonsens. Nobody has really any stock or stuff in storage since it gets delivered when they thought they need it. Any bump or change in demand brings this system totally into free fall.

    Why are restaurants so loud ?

    K It seems to be an American thing that restaurants and bars are loud. When I came over here I also was surprised about the noise level even in smaller venues. Also, what's up with the TVs? Nearly every location in San Jose had an enormous amount of TVs hanging and running any kind of crap from...

    Fry's Electronics comes to an end in Palo Alto - December 27, 2019.

    Too bad but it wasforeseeable. I remember shopping at Fry's either at their Hamilton Ave shop or in San Jose at Junction and it was always packed around 2005 to 2008 but than somehow they went to cheap China stuff.

    Random Rants

    Flying cars?! Have you seen how people drive today and you want to put them in something that can fall to the ground?! They are already overwhelmed by using 2 directions in this world, if you now give additionally to left/right and back/forth also up/down the death toll will rise :-)

    Ebay Charging Sales Tax

    Here in Arizona they make me do it. That wasn’t the case in California so for whatever reason regulations are different here. Double taxation still

    Ebay Charging Sales Tax

    For new products I can understand that but I’m always confused when this happens for used products since that is double taxation. The first happened when that product was sold new so the luxury taxation was done already.

    Shippers Customer Service

    Wow, they have changed their menu. I did this some years ago and the system hang up on me :-) But honestly, saying the word Operator should get you to a person in case it's a well developed system. Some systems aren't or they don't have any operators and don't want to talk to you at all. That's...

    Dogs and Fleas (How Do You Control Them)?

    In my old house I had a similar situation. My dog was picking up fleas from the front lawn, brought them inside and were left on the couch and some carpets. I found a spray at Petco that is kind like a mix of cinnamon and mint oil that does not stain. Spray it on the dog, his bed and wherever he...
