What did you learn today?

[Funky Ghost]

That I can be appreciative of those more informed and well spoken than I to carry a thought forward in a thread here on TB.

I learned that:
1. parts are not available to repair a 7 year old kitchen faucet, and
2. installing a new kitchen faucet when you are built like a fire hydrant is difficult and unpleasant.

I learnt that television sets don't last like they used to. I had a 19" Zenith b&w that my parents bought in 1962 when I was 5 years old that lasted through college. My 42" LP HDTV died after 5 years of moderate use.

Edit: To age myself by 2 years. I was 5 in '62.

I've been learning, for the past few months, how expensive having a wedding can be.

Is it over yet?

I learned from a '62 reissue sale ad that some Jazz basses have only two pots. I thought all of them came from the factory as VVT. What are the two pots?

They're stacked pots. V & T for each PU.

They're stacked pots. V & T for each PU.

Did they use them in '62 or is the reissue taking liberties?

stacked pots problem?

 

[Gorn]

I learned that when a female coworker is getting angry and irrational when you request something from her that might be annoying to do but has to get done regardless because that's her job and she has no choice, saying "I can see you're very upset. How about we try again later when you've calmed down".....will not be taken well.

Thanks for that. It's nice to learn something new.

It's good to go the whole gooseberry, skin and all. Waste not. Want not

Red Bull is disgusting.

That looks like what we call a Kiwi fruit. Maybe you call it a gooseberry but I thought a gooseberry was smaller and looked like this below.

EDIT: Just had a bit more of a look and found that the Kiwi fruit is also known as a Chinese Gooseberry. Well, I learned something today.

I don't think I learned anything today, but I did find myself wondering if animals ever relax. I was watching chipmunks and they all seem so wired-up and worried.
