Today I Learned

TIL - Toothpaste has an expiration date.

What did you learn today?

I learned that my 15yr/old son should be OK in this world.
His GF dumped him do to peer pressure, some of her friends didn't like him was the excuse.
I told him I was sorry and asked if he wanted talk about it.
His reply;
"That's alright dad, I'm over it...besides, I need a girlfriend with a spine."

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

I learned that if you want to run some 14/3 or 12/3 and use the two hots to feed a 120 circuit you can share the neutral but you have to use a dual breaker that will trip both circuits, and sharing the neutral might make your GFCIs not work so you might need to just use a GFCI breaker instead.

But I learned it 'before', not 'after', so i'm happy.

I learned you know my wife, she reads the expiration date on everything, I don't care. and I don't buy anything because it has a lifetime warranty.

Today I learned what TIL stood for. Until now I was mystified why someone would start a post or comment somewhere by saying TIL, . . . I thought it was a cultural reference for younger people and I was just too old to get the reference.
