Cold is cold. Once it gets below 35 it all feels the same to me.

I think a lot of this is all relative to where one lives. When I first moved from San Diego to Tennessee highs in the 40s were so freakin cold to me. Now in the middle of winter 40s is nothing to me as I’ve gotten use to the temps over the years. I do think 30s is cold but that you really start feeling a difference at 28 degrees and lower.

I've always wondered how the people in Canada and other really cold areas do it. Weeks of temperatures in the -20 to -40 range in some areas. How do they keep car engines from seizing up and pipes from freezing in the house?

Insulation, engine heaters, anti-freeze, just to name a few...Keep all of your pipes toward the center of the house maybe?

I’ve been bitten by that type of spider on your pfp before, but it was my own fault, back when I was 14 I stupidly touched a part of its web and didn’t know that type of spider could hit the dash towards my finger that fast, it could probably do a 40 yard dash In 1 second lol, there bites is suprisingly painful for a harmless type of spider

They have engine heaters and garages, where they can plug em in! Not sure about pipes, underground maybe!?

I believe I read that in some places in Minnesota, the frost line is 42 inches deep. So underground water lines would need to be deeper than that. I could not imagine living in that type of climate. If your car broke down on the way to work it would put you in a life threatening situation.

I did some work for a plumber from the Midwest and he said water lines were 3 feet deep and were ran into the basement or central most point of a home. No water meters along property right of way. They tap the main line and keep it deep. No water pipes are run on exterior walls

Yeah I saw this earlier, heartbreaking.... believe it or not Jeopardy is the one show my family sits down to watch together every night. The Allstar tournament that just concluded was great but now hearing this...so sad. Hope he can pull off a miracle!

Dang. Very sad about Alex! Cancer sucks and my family has been affected by it!
As a little lighter side, if you need a little laugh just because, the SNL skits, where Will Ferrell plays Alex Trebec and Darrell plays Sean Connery, and Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds,are truly comedy gold!!

“Suck it Trebek” classic

There’s one where “Alex” tells the contestants to just right a number, and “Burt” or “Sean “ writes A, or something like that, just hilarious as hell

Well, all you had to do was write a number, and you wrote..."Threeve". Combination of three and five, simply stunning. And you wagered... Texas with a dollar sign in front of it

If signed in Tapatalk shows the thread of an ignored user but IE and Edge don't
Click to expand...

Tapatalk grabs a copy of the thread from their "robots" and plugin.. converting it over into their app. Since their robot isn't ignoring anyone, they won't have any threads hidden.

So technically, when you use Tapatalk, there is a high chance that even an ignored user's normal posts will be visible also.
