    Electrical outlet wrapped in electrical tape

    I have seen electricians do that with GFCI outlets that have very little side clearance with the metal box. It is just in case the outlet could be pushed to the side and the screws make contact with the box.

I have examined several rifles whose owners said regular cleaning was a waste of time and just knew their bores were perfect...

    Craftsman lawn tractor will not manually roll.

    Epson fiasco

    Maybe this has been posted before but it just bit me. New Epson firmware updates will add a restriction so that your printer will only work with Epson print cartridges. I happened to have aftermarket cartridges in mine and had no trouble at all until after the update. After the update the...
