The Summer of Chuff 2015

[Howard_Casto]

I wasn't... it's just your Texas was showing. 

[pbj]

That's cool.  I highly recommend that marinade for what it's worth.

[Howard_Casto]

I don't think we get it on the east coast... or at least I haven't seen it lately. 

[pbj]

In Texas, many supermarkets have a Goya aisle.  It's glorious.  Anything they make is better than their competitors.

Yeah we get a bunch of Goya stuff here in AZ, too.  Adobo is a good general seasoning...

[pbj]

Yeah, their adobo is great on just about everything.  I've eaten so damn much of it it's not even funny. 

And it's a glorious misappropriation of a name that refers to an entirely different type of seasoning, the likes of which are rarely seen outside the confines of Huy Fong Sriracha.

Also a big fan of their pimento stuffed olives.

[DeLuSioNal29]

Being Puertorican I grew up on Goya stuff. I can vouch. That stuff is good.

Can confirm.  Was introduced to adobo by Puerto Ricans in the USVI.  They mixed it with corn meal, rolled everything in it, and fried in peanut oil.  And by everything I mean EVERYTHING.  Octopus, shark, endangered species, tuna, etc.

You're making me hungry.

Wait, you're Puerto Rican?

No, he eats peurto ricans

AC died , Sobieski (company that installed it 3 years ago) said it was out of warranty and it'd be $99 just to come look at it.

Little bit of google, little bit of asking my dad and my cousin and BAM! FIXED!

The compressor would turn on but the fan wouldnt. The coils would overheat and the AC would trip the thermal protection, end result 86 degrees inside.

Turns out this giant rusted capacitor was bad:


$12.09 later:


Cool air and I saved at least $87

[DeLuSioNal29]

Wait, you're Puerto Rican?

100%

As for the central A/C:  Same thing happened to me right after I bought my house last week. Swapped the old bulging capacitor and it fixed the problem.

What was your favorite slide at Las Plazas Aquaticas?

I'm amazed you guys found someone willing to sell you a capacitor.  That's the biggest scam going in AC repair.

I got one from a company called  RE Michel ( http://www.remichel.com/ )  . They don't sell to the general public, but my cousin is a HVAC guy with a commercial account. So I bought the cap using his account number. The cap I spent $12 on costs $75 from Sobieski, and they charge $25 to install it (so roughly $300 an hour)

[pbj]

I've found exactly one place in Houston that'll sell them to the public, and it's appropriately named "ServAll."  My problem turned out to be a bad fan motor, but I kept the $5 caps anyway.

You're making me hungry.

Wait, you're Puerto Rican?

Wait, you're Mexican?

I don't care  who's what.  Somebody make me something covered in Goya!

[yotsuya]

Wait, you're Mexican?

We established that a long time ago.

I picture you all as being older white guys.... so when another minority posts, I get excited, like when I found out rablack97 was really black....

I had genetic testing done at 23andme for ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and giggles....
Also 3.2% Neanderthal, which apparently is really high.

[HaRuMaN]

Where do you get 3.2% Neanderthal out of that chart?

[Vigo]

That wasn't a decimal point on the 3.2% Neanderthal. You had a dead pixel on your monitor. 

[BadMouth]

Where do you get 3.2% Neanderthal out of that chart?

I didn't.  It's a separate, overlapping thing.

EDIT: As an aside, though they're not allowed to give you any medical related info anymore, you can use your raw data to get the medical stuff elsewhere.

[yotsuya]

I'm going to make you an honorary Mexican with that 0.2 unassigned.

[pbj]

We're all the same species, and any biomarker that's associated with a particular population can be found in any population on earth.  Some double cousins in my wife's family both had it done and it came back with some hilariously mismatched results compared to their family narrative.  They were consistently mismatched, though, I'll give them that.

[pbj]

One drop rule!

[BadMouth]

I'm going to make you an honorary Mexican with that 0.2 unassigned.

Awesome.  Maybe I can finally take that motorcycle trip down South America now.
If anyone hassles me, I'll just explain my honorary 2%.

[Vigo]

Pee wee Herman was made an honorary Hell's Angel. He got 100 feet on his motorcycle trip. Just sayin'

Woah, slow down, eh. That's only 0.2%. At a full two percent, I have to let you marry my sister.

[Howard_Casto]

Everybody thinks I'm Mexican because of the last name, but there is a big difference between Casto and Castro (which is Cuban btw).  I'm practically clear. 

[eds1275]

Casto sounds more Transylvannian than mexican to me!

[harveybirdman]

like when I found out rablack97 was really black....

Mental image shattered

[Howard_Casto]

Casto sounds more Transylvannian than mexican to me!

That's probably closer to the mark yeah....although I'm not exactly a pure bred.

[yotsuya]

StarFighters Arcade is moving, and so they needed volunteers to help demolition the walls out in the new space.

[Malenko]

no Malenko mount on the shirt 

[jdbailey1206]

...demolition the walls...

Demolition?  That's my shtick.

[wp34]

Three beers and 2 hours of arcade play.   

[Nephasth]

I get excited, like when I found out rablack97 was really black....

 

Man, I missed some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
