Need a varying array based on temperature.

Yeah, maybe...what about the "going pee" part?

Don't know if it applies in the situation above but I always hated working on electrical problems in two type locations...old churches and bars. They either (or possibly both) had parishioners that mean well "electricians" or drunk "electricians" that'll do it for drinks. In your case, I suspect that an "electrician" had replaced a receptacle that was switched. To do that, there is a little tab between the two screws on the hot side that needs to be snapped off so that the top and bottom can operate independently of each other. That's not the problem usually. The problem is that there is also a tab on the neutral side also (why, I don't know) and sometimes "electricians" break that off also which leads to some interesting (sometime dangerous) situations. When you turned your vacuum on, it completed the circuit. It might have gotten very interesting if you'd have the vacuum on AND turned on the switch.

During my 40+ years of electrical work, I had at least 50 or 60 homeowners claim that a switch (or switches) did nothing. In all cases, but one, this wasn't true. Almost all of the supposedly "dead" switches were in bedrooms and controlled either a 1/2 switched receptacle (top or bottom 1/2), a ceiling fan light (fan installed but no light kit) or exterior flood lights. In the one case that this was true, the electrician had installed a 2 gang switch box (I guess by mistake during rough-in) but only had one active switch, the other switch had nothing connected to it and no extra wiring in the box that could be connected to it.

Armored Cable (Type AC) makes your hands, and anything else it touches, the same way. Got a new helper fresh out of Vo-Tec on the job one morning while working on a bank. We had him working with the AC cable all day. By the end of the day, he looked like the old pictures of coal miners...and didn't have a clue that he looked that way.

Naw, it's an x-ray of RFK Jr's head.

Doesn't look like the one in the picture had power run to it either. I've seen the no power to the fan but never the no hole for the fan. One thing that I used to warn homeowners about, if I noticed it while in their attic, was when ducted range hoods had open ducts just extended to above the drywall ceiling and had no ducting to the roof. Big time fire hazard. More than one house caught on fire due to that.

NOPE, in fact, HELL NOPE.

Hide her batteries.

I guess what they say about men's feet must not be true.

Damn, I'm hungry now!

I hear he's quite the swimmer.

I betcha that Stormy never obeyed a gag order.

We have a vac sealer. Saved a ton of money over the years with it and a freezer. Cut to size bags and a little time...

I just tried my sink with a powerful magnet and you're right, the rim is magnetic but only on the straight edges. Learned something today! As I understand it, some of the stainless refrigerators are not magnetic either. So much for fridge magnets. I never reuse foil or Ziplocs, seem like a good way to get food poisoning.
-
From what I've read about the underwater drone is that it has stealth capabilities and is all electric. Pretty neat!
-
And she thinks that's a smart move...except The dishes will still have to be done sooner or later. Most stainless sinks are not magnetic. What happens when someone wants to use the sink, now you get to do the dishes and mop the floor. Why is there aluminum foil hanging on the wall?

Maybe he has a woman come in once a week to clean up!

And beer refrigerator, giant tv? Why is the bed made...is he expecting female company?

Looks like he got shot in the back to me...and what is my ex-mother-in-law doing there?

This happens all the time on my doorbell camera but not with frogs. In Florida, there are three types of small lizards that are commonly found...green anole (used to be a bunch of them), Cuban lizard (billions of them but they don't seem to come out at night) and what I call geckos (which are most commonly found at night). There is a gecko that lives up in the soffet and seems to like hanging out on the db camera, I guess because it has a blue light that attracts bugs. He's not camera shy at all...but he doesn't try to sell me car insurance either.

Ex-Lax Commie Cake?

All the same guns except for one pistol and two rifles. I'm sure that all of your wife's shoes are not ALL pumps.
