    Tires — it’s tires and since I kinda didn’t show no sympathy, the OM will probably channel the HB and I’ll have a breakdown with the golf cart — sorry I blew up @Dave_in_AZ

    The theory is. You ground something to the earth and the human body does better. Drink your coffee barefoot outside in the morning. Or get a mat and connect to your ground in the outlet or run it to the earth via a rod.

    I bought this. Yes I am/was bored. Screenshot_20250801-210504.Amazon Shopping.png

    I've heard about this and I think it's a thing. My buddy runs copper wire between 2 grounding rods in his garden and swears by it. Can't remember what he called it, but I believe it goes back to Nikola Tesla.

    Hmm. Have to say that I have some skepticism on this. Not saying the concept is bad, just the implementation. If you put this on a mattress, then the linens on that, it creates an insulating layer. It would seem that to be effective, you would have to make direct contact with the ground mat. This is a passive system, not an active thing like induction charging. Next, I have some questions about cleaning. Probably not something you can put in the washing machine. Some seem to contain metals, either fine wire or coatings according to a few sites. Some mention carbon fiber, leather and a few synthetic materials are used in the product, these are all very poor conductors at best, more likely would act as an insulator. Have to admit it is a curious thing.

    It's just weird AF.

    Nothing was acting weak.

    It started a small leak on a bolt in the pan , and drain plug as well. And the pick up tube needs changed, was going to do it when we got back, but guess it's going to be done now.

    THAT is the wrong person to pull you. Tramm01 was suggesting the cheap route, that's the expensive one.

    Sorry about the luck.
