So my sister for some reason wanted a Nissan juke. They got there stupid juke which they trashed and didn't maintain at all. Well a couple days ago while visiting the Juke shit itself. The car is likely totaled as the infamous Nissan CVT is the problem and needs to be replaced a long with a lot of other stuff. Anyway I am trying to tell my mom that a Toyota Corolla is the best option if they are just going to trash the thing again. My mom wants to get them another 10k car which is then going to suffer the same death as the juke. Could y'all let me know if I am right here or if there is a better option or something?
Tl;dr: don't get mugged while shooting in the sticks.
I'm stationed in Nevada so, like others, I do my shooting in the desert. Yesterday afternoon, I was doing some shooting with a buddy at a spot I typically go to, and at some point, a gold Suburban rolled up around 300-500m behind us (we were shooting at one end of what I can only describe as a shallow pit). I didn't see anyone moving around the vehicle, nor did I see a trailer for an ATV or anything. At the time, I was reminded of a story my dad told of when he was stationed in California (1980s) and some guys he knew were robbed of their guns after expending all their ammo in the desert. I was concerned about that happening to us, and got suspicious when the Suburban drove off a minute or so after I noticed it. I held on to some extra ammo (in addition to my carry ammo) and my buddy and I kept our eyes peeled for a potential ambush on our way out. Thankfully, nothing came of it, and we made it out safely, but we agreed that the Suburban was pretty sus. If you shoot in the woods/desert/sticks, keep your eyes peeled, don't become a loot box.
My stove is 3 prong. It decided it was going to start shocking me, often when I was touching the countertop (and possibly sink?) Foolishly, I replaced the stove. New stove doing the same thing. I replaced the pigtail and flipped the breaker. In checking voltage between the rear of the stove (the metal back) and the kitchen sink, I'm reading 120V. I flipped the breaker. The measurement is still 120V, with the breaker off.
In my understanding, this indicates that the hot lead that goes to neutral is choosing to use the metal plate instead of taking the happy neutral path back to the panel (where it is bonded to ground). So...
- Am I interpreting these results correctly?
- How do I discharge/de-energize the stove to...ground without just sucking it up and touching it?) Can I use some 14/2 romex to jury-rig a light fixture with leads off the back of the stove to drain it? lol.
- I bought a replacement receptacle when I bought the pigtail, I'm going to replace that but....
- If #1 is correct and that doesn't resolve my issue, how do I trace my neutral to find where it isn't working? In my little head it's a problem only with the range but what if it was something bigger, like an issue at the panel / service connection?
- I have a licensed electrician coming over on Monday, but I dont' want anyone getting zapped and I've been working on this for two days and it's driving me nuts. :P I WANT TO KNOW.
Thanks in advance

How safe are they? Are there any sources that prove that the products don't contain heavy metals?
Without looking it up. What were these called? (I'll put the answer in a spoiler tagged reply below)
Spotted this yesterday in a thread about old toys. People called them one thing, but when I was googling it, I noticed they were actually called something a little different. The funny thing is that even I thought they were called the 'wrong' thing.
Thing is, looking across the internet, lots of people keep calling them by the 'wrong' name. Even the Wikipedia page mistakenly calls them that in the opening parapgraph.
Now, for the sake of honesty, I believe most, if not all, Mandela Effects are psychological/socialogical (which doesn't make them any less interesting) and I have a pretty good guess where the confusion over this particular name comes from, but because I've seen so many people call it this one specific name, I thought I'd share it for discussion.
Also safety fence is only at level 1, any catapult can destroy it

> A new report has made recommendations to reduce tramping safety incidents in the Lower North Island’s Tararua Forest Park.
> It’s the attraction and challenge of the rugged Tararua Ranges that make it a hazardous place, leaving trampers underestimating how challenging it can be, says the NZ Mountain Safety Council (MSC) and the Department of Conservation (DOC).
> Over the years, MSC and DOC have been seeking ways to reduce the number of incidents in the forest park. Recent efforts began by understanding what causes incidents.
> Over 180 trampers were involved in search and rescues (SAR) in the forest park between 2010-2017, ranking it the third highest conservation area in New Zealand for SAR, behind Fiordland and Tongariro National Parks.
> There were also five fatalities in the decade ending 2017, according to MSC’s A Walk in the Park? research document.
> In 2019, DOC and MSC formed an independent Issue Specific Advisory Group to look at the key issues for trampers in the Tararua Ranges. Members were selected for their diverse range of experience and various skill sets.
> The final report, released today, makes a series of recommendations about steps that could be taken to better provide people with information that will allow them to make informed decisions.
Are there any shooting ranges that offer gun safety courses and also provide firearms to use at a range? All I’ve been able to find are gun clubs that require people to have/bring their own guns.
