Baseball fights don't hit as hard as ki blasts do" is the understatement of the century. Imagine Goku powering up to Super Saiyan just to try and hit a fastball. "KAAAAA-MEEEEE-HAAAAA-MEEEEE..." and then he just swings a bat. Or Vegeta screaming about his pride while arguing about a called strike three. Honestly though, I'd watch a spinoff where Yamcha actually becomes good at something and it's just pro baseball.

Honestly, 500 is a solid milestone, it creeps up on you like that. I'm sitting at around 300 myself and I feel that same "need to stop" guilt every time I grab another dollar bin haul.

Hold on, @willow244, your friend's guy just LEFT for a WEEK while the roof was torn off? That's insane. I would have been calling someone else the second he didn't show up on day one. Stuff like that is why I always check if they're actually licensed and bonded in my state, it's the only way to get any real leverage. A buddy's recommendation is fine for a pizza place, but not for a job that can ruin your whole house. Your friend got completely played, and that hotel bill story makes my blood boil just thinking about it. Glad you learned from their mistake, because that's an expensive way to find out someone's a flake.

POTS line ghost is right. Did your cell dialer ever interfere with garage door openers?

Yeah, you're not wrong about the durability but saying ceramic blanket hits 2000 degrees the same way is a stretch - most of that cheap blanket stuff is only rated for 2300F tops and breaks down fast once you push it.
