Like china is going to trade the American consumer’s ability to spend obnoxious amounts of money to buy their shite while also overlooking the rest of their shortcomings (pollution, treatment of their citizens, etc.) for the broke arse European market and its ungodly holier than thou climate and social regulations.

China probably can’t even sell 90% of the shite they produce to Europe bc it contains red number 2 or 1 part per trillion of lead, or other shite like that.

China knows where their bread is buttered, and it’s not in Europe. Especially w/o America’s golden parachute of economic/military protection.

It was higher for diesel.

For as much as I would use at my house during the year, I could probably buy new equipment every year and come out ahead.

Use regular gas or gas 2 stroke mix. Drain or run it out in anything you don’t use that often. Do the same at the end of the season for ones you use regularly.

LSU Baseball and unfricking the drainage the previous owner of our house fricked up in the back yard. For the love of all things that are holy, put the GD sock on corrugated pipe before you bury it.

Electric heat is 100% efficient. 100% of the electricity that goes into an electric heat strip is converted to heat.

Swap it for a sand filter. Hated f’ing around with cleaning the cartridges. Once a week (during the summer), backwash for about 2 to 3 min and r less depending on how dirty the sand is, rinse for about 30 seconds, back to filter.
I got a good bit of Cher and Madonna (early Madonna) on my grass cutting/yard-work playlist
I almost can’t wait to see how CNN wriggles their way out of not supporting this one.
If congress would get off their asses and actually congress, this wouldn’t be a problem. They focus more on the next election cycle, and getting in their gotcha sound bites in hearings than doing their fricking job.
If we only had a test that was designed to assess your readiness for higher learning. Like one that was developed on decades of research.

Just wait, some Dem think tank will come out with a new one that’s not called the SAT, but will test for the same shite. It won’t be racist bc of some word salad they will spew.


Did mine in an afternoon last year, but had all the tools and was able to get a 410a unit. 250 sqft uninsulated smaller part of garage turned into an office. Got a Della brand 12,000, for like 900. Will freeze/heat you out of the room. Once it cooled down outside I ended up insulating above the room to save on electricity costs. I think I spent like 200 to 250 on the fiberglass. Left the walls uninsulated. If I had insulated the whole room, I could have probably gone with a 9,000 btu unit or smaller.

100% dropped my elec bill by $100 a month vs the window AC that was in there. Quiet and efficient as hell. I went with a 220V unit over a 110V one based on people saying it would be a little more efficient.

Well I went last week and all the asked for was my lic, ins, reg, and slapped on a new two year sticker. Lady said diesels were easy bc they don’t have to check anything.

I'm holding out for the Grand Wizard Highlander.
Sucks for the delinquents in MN. I’ve seen what they can do to some unruly crayon eaters, these nut jobs are about to FAFO for real.
The major is a nut job. WTF, he has no jurisdiction over ice enforcing Federal laws.

Not even one letter?
I love it bc it 100% showed how those people expect you to bow down to all their mental illness and are incapable of compromising/accepting any of yours (mental illnesses and just normal shite that the rest of the world does). The minute that scene started I looked over at the wife and said, here we go she is going to have a list of demands that are nonnegotiable. Loved the three options the mom gave the admissions lady, and how she used the libtard vision (or whatever) thing to get there.
No shite, it has rained ash every year in Southdowns since I’ve been alive. Must be a slow news week!
