How bad is it leaking? Can you recharge it and be good for 3 years?

He didn’t say it was leaking or low, just bad valve. I think freezing lines is most likely due to low refrigerant so that’s what I expected.

He says that when he changes the valve (covered by AHS) he will need to vacuum the lines and recover the refrigerant.

I want him to put the old refrigerant back but he says it’s contaminated. Could he even know that?

I suspect he’s BSing about the contamination so he can charge for new refrigerant to make a quick minuscule markup for work he already needs to do.

Much of their published work is critiquing each other’s published work. Big circle jerk keeping themselves relevant.

I didn’t watch the video but…

Pape is very influential in military air strategy analysis. At Air War College, his writings are referenced frequently, and at least one course requires a paper discussing his work. Another course requires a ‘critique of Pape’s critique’ of some of the ‘founding fathers of AirPower’.

If you were wondering, Pape generally advocates for a “denial” strategy as opposed to the “bombing to win” strategy.

Though it may ’feel’ like we’re bombing to win in Iran. We’re not targeting civilian centers trying to break the morale, rather we’re bombing launch sites of Iranian air defenses and air attack. I think we’re mostly following a ‘denial’ strategy with Iran right now.

Defense drops everything

Offense drops everything

It’s one thing to get hit and not have any power behind a well intentioned pass attempt, but that’s not what I saw. He was obviously getting rid of it to avoid the sack. I just don’t think he hit all the criteria for a good throw away.

north cascades np is 1, and there really isn't a close 2nd.

Most people that visit North Cascades, never actually make it into the park. The northern and southern sectors are separated by a small strip of national forest land. That’s where the only road and campgrounds are located. So unless hiking away from the road, most are unlikely to ever step foot into north cascades.

Diablo Lake and all of the surrounding attractions are great even if you never step into the actual NP.

Well that's not really how that works. So I won't even ask you to tell me how much of your "paycheck" went to Ukraine

---

First, you responded to someone whose sole purpose is to insert the occasional funny quips into every thread. He doesn’t give a shite about your argument.

Second, that IS how it works. You’re money does go into a pot that is redistributed everywhere, and yes, that includes Ukraine.

irony is how people pointed fingers at Ukraine for being corrupt

Third, not disagreeing with what you say about USAID, but Ukraine was ABSOLUTELY used by Joe Biden himself in the same way USAID was accused. There’s no irony here -everyone pissed about Ukraine corruption, is angry about USAID

Edit: autocorrect changed “abused” to “accused”. I’ll leave it, but it does change the meaning of the sentence slightly.

I don’t personally agree that the US vs Wong Kim Ark case gives birthright citizenship to all non diplomats. I think the Indian issue resolves that. I chose my phrases for a little brevity. I also said “clarify.”

I do think it does add language/ideas to the amendment that was never there and never intended to be there.

The so-called precedent of this case needs to be scrapped and overruled, or clarified to address children of illegals.

I’m not against patient safety initiatives, but this needs to go away. One study with less than 20 deaths was extrapolated nationwide to “create” this med error stat.
