Listen...perch is one of the best eating fish out there...that and walleye...and well they are cousins sooo lol
Well **** and here I was thinking I was doing something good recycling all the beer bottles.
Every house has one device that still uses a vacuum tube. Let's see who can list it? (No fair for Jim to answer...) Not the crt tv tube.
Also, high end stereo gear still uses tubes. To be fair, not many homes have systems like this.
I'm not married anymore so my house doesn't have one.
Dude I haven't had a vacuum device wife in 20 years...and I've been married for almost 21...
Does my microwave still have a vacuum devise?
HVAC thermostat uses a mercury filled tube to power up the system- is it a vacuum tube?
some parts of the country it is recycled but many it's not.
I'll go to Waste Expo, don't bother going to the others, theyre mostly BS.

They used to use mercury switches, but now mercury has been banned- for the most part. New thermostats are SS. Wall switches also had mercury in them.
A trace amount is in CFL's as the conductivity of mercury vapor allows them to start easily.
But the mercury switch isn't actually a vacuum tube.
One really interesting thing about mercury is that lead will float on it.
He was correct on the microwave, the Klystron or Magnetron is actually a vacuum tube and is the part of the microwave that radiates the electromagnetic wave that heats food. In actuality the Klystron may (by now) have been substituted by something easier to produce, but I'm too lazy to look any further.

Are you in the industry?
I have had very similar experiences in the valet field. Also finding cockroaches in cars happens sometimes....
Every movie theater chain has “Season Passes” for management, executives, etc.
My grandfather did a deal with a large chain back in the 70’s, and knew about this, and put it in the lease that we get passes for the family, about 6 passes per year.
Theater has been bought out many times over the years, still in business, and each time because it’s in the lease, we get season passes.
Have never paid for a movie in my life. It’s great if the movie sucks, just walk out and not feel like you just wasted $10.
We do pay for the popcorn and drinks, so they still make a little money off me lol

That's what we call being grandfathered in. Sweet deal.
If you are a smoker and stay at a smoke free hotel and still smoke in it and get that hefty smoke cleaning fee?
Dispute it with your credit card company and you win it every time. The only time hotel would be granted the fee is if you left cigarettes, ashes etc behind for them to take a pic and even then it’s a stretch. If it is just the smell, yeah they are gonna charge you but you will get that money right back.. I think I only won one case out of many and that’s because they trashed the Room and cig. Buds everywhere.
