Thanks. Yeah that’s what I was getting at. Create a jumper on the 3 neutrals back to the new plug. It will be a GFCI since my house is old and there’s no ground wires. Still unsure on the fixture but I want to replace the box just to give me options. I’ve been watching a lot of videos.

I have a junction box in the basement that was set up for a shop light, controlled by a wall switch. The light I want to replace it with requires a plug. I need to change the box because the current one is too small. the wiring situation: it has the line coming in and it feeds two others. So there’s 3 neutrals together, 3 hot twisted together, and the red from the wall switch. when I put them all back in the new box and put in my plug, controlled by the switch, do I just take one of the existing neutrals for my new outlet or should I add a pigtail to the outlet?

Fans expect players to use their financial comfort and stability to do things in the fans and organizations best interest instead of the players best interest.

Dirks was so good I thought he was a professional from another team who had an opening to fill in. He sounds like he’s been doing it for years. Just the right touch of insight that a player can bring without going overboard.

I wouldn't either. But his accumulated wealth has also given him the ability to make the best choice as he sees fit for himself, whatever that may be. I am glad he opted out and am glad it appears there's no interest in having him come back. Let him be someone else's problem.

that's easy for you to say about someone else's situation. Maybe his kids have friends they don't want to leave. Maybe his wife has friends. There's so many things within a family that can come up where a sudden move or absence can be traumatic. We simply don't know.

FYI he has cerebral palsy

Regarding Christie, I remember the flack he took in 2012 when a Hurricane hit New Jersey. It was like the week before the election or something and "He's out there hobnobbing with Barrack Obama". I'm not saying that to change any minds and I know the other crap he did as Governor. I just don't think he's going to destroy democracy or severely curtail some of our rights. That's a low bar I know but given today's GOP the minimum baseline is critical.

I honestly wouldn’t care if Christie won. Not my first choice but if it’s gotta be an R he’s the best we can reasonably hope for.

The crazy guy, Vivek or whatever called Haley “**** Cheney in 3 inch heels” and they are out doing each other in proclaiming how bad Israel should smoke Hamas.

Then we can trade for him again.

I know some very well off folks who work for them at the corporate level.... of course, they wouldn't want the places near where they live. But it's fine to make money off it.... sure.

but to give him the benefit of the doubt... why would a free agent immediately rule out a big spending team that's targeting his position? Even if you don't want to play for them or live there you keep them in the game. He'd be an idiot otherwise.

and many many people are nuanced and mature enough to hold a position that is "I think abortion is generally wrong, maybe even immoral, and women generally shouldn't get one but I don't think it should be illegal because a woman ultimately should have full autonomy over their body". I think my wife falls into that camp. The flirting around with banning contraceptives and denying certain cancer/medical treatments because a woman may be pregnant is also at play. Throw in the higher risk women in their 40's face with pregancy issues... it's just too much. It's the ultimate "Dog catching it's tail" analogy.

this one has been making the rounds... basically admitting the problem for the GOP is doing stuff that motivates democrats to vote. According to Santorum's twisted logic the problem of democracy is people wanting to vote on things that interests/matters to them. Not surprising from the guy who said allowing gay sex would lead to bestiality....

I mean.... who wouldn't? Just love reading the internet commentary about that whole situation from people who think they know what went on and what Harris did or didn't do.

Yeah I am not a fan. I don't care what people do. I just don't want to smell it and I don't want to be bombarded with the adverts for it. I drive to Ohio 3 times recently and noticed the plethora of signs in Monroe. A friend came up to visit us and she commented "I have to stop at a place on the way back for my brother" and she laughed, then I understood. It's always very evident when you are passing through a town where it's legally sold.

Taylor could totally change the electorate if she got passionate about politics in a big way. I love seeing all the outrage from fanboys already due to Kelce. Bros are triggered.

And he got far more money and sex from the cloth. my math was off in that. I was playing around with the numbers but the point remains. It’s just people getting people to pay to listen to them, like a guy with a substack or girl on Onlyfans.

To me the choice is between eating a bland bowl oatmeal and eating a can of expired wet dog food out of a can. One is just not going to excite me or give me any kind of joy but whatever. It'll be over soon. The other will be horrible the entire time and may hurt me and make my life miserable for an extended period of time.

Baptist, by definition, means independent. There are larger groups of denominations that call themselves "Baptist", like Southern Baptist, that have a structure. But anyone can form a church and call it Baptist. You don't answer to anyone. You can join an affiliation which tells members that you believe "X,Y, and Z". It's like a mission statement. But Joe Bob Baptist Church on Groveland Avenue in one city has no link to Jim Crack Corn Baptist Church on Fremont Street in another city. Nobody can come to you and say "You can't call yourself that". But of course there are affiliations and whatnot that will hold you accountable if you wish to join up. And if you call yourself a Baptist church but are preaching God awful things about Mary and Saints then word will get out that you are too "Catholic". The affiliatons and networks lead to a breeding ground. Start a church. Then a school. Then send those graduates to an associated "College" to churn out more pastors. Then they go out and start their own church. Multi Level Marketing that leads to a LIberty or Bob Jones University. Then you have your cult. How much of the church starting is a calling to preach or just to create a job for yourself? Get 100 member families to donate $50 a week.... that's $15K a week plus some other stuff and you can bring in 1/3 of a million a year in revenue, minus your costs... a pastor finds himself making six figures. Nothing stopping you. Nobody can tell you that you can't call your church that.

I think Haley will be the nominee. And she will have a decent shot at winning. The sense of urgency will be gone and then it becomes a question if Trumps **** will translate into voters for her. He may push for her if he thinks he can get a pardon.
