Count me as a hell yes to hiring Wade back. He was a perfect fit here.

For our own armed forces while they are actively engaged in hostilities? Yes, without question.
I don't see how this is at all comparable to funding a foreign country's war effort.
re: For The Pro-War Crowd? How Much Is Enough?

You really don’t have any comprehension of geopolitics if you are going to suggest that this war is exclusively being carried out to further the interests of Israel and the Gulf States. I have no problem with people being opposed to it, it was clearly a decision that could have been made the other way, but people like the OP are really not worth taking seriously with their simplistic understanding of what motivates decisions geopolitically.
re: Heat pump vs electric HVAC
Posted by ChewyDante on 3/19/26 at 10:38 am to CrawDude
Gas not an option where I am located unfortunately. So between heat pump and straight electric, it sounds like heat pump is the way to go. Just wasn't sure if there were any tradeoffs I wasn't aware of other than upfront cost.
Heat pump vs electric HVAC
Posted by ChewyDante on 3/19/26 at 8:02 am
Getting ready to pull the trigger on replacing my home's old AC. Moving on from the R22 Carrier unit that is petering out.
Getting lots of quotes for heat pumps. Home currently has electrical heating. Supposedly the heat pumps are a lot more efficient in winter for keeping costs down. More upfront costs than straight electric unit but I guess could recoup with energy savings.
Is there any down sides to heat pump systems for south Louisiana? I'm obviously more concerned about the summer cooling and dehumidification than heating performance but the wife also likes to run up the heat bill in winter too. Is it plus plus improvement for cooling and heating over straight electric? I'm leaning towards going with the heat pump options but want to make sure I'm not overlooking a drawback.

Burger King has the worst fast food employees around. It doesn't even matter the location. It's honestly amazing how consistently this was the case. I don't eat fast food anymore unless on the road but I will never forget Burger King locking down the top spot on horrible staff with the absolute most not give a frick attitude possible.

How can we tolerate the Israelis targeting energy infrastructure and escalating the conflict without our approval? The excuse of "out of anger" is a total cop out if true.
Trump is either lying to give us plausible deniability or the Israelis have no recognition of the United States being the captain as to how this proceeds and that is a significant problem. If Trump's version of events is true, there needs to be a pretty forceful dressing down of Israel's leadership regarding any strategic escalation without U.S. approval.

You mean like the tens of thousands who lived peacefully in Europe amongst the population until ISIS declared the caliphate and they traveled to join the Islamic State to carry out all manner of brutalization and atrocity against those conquered and enslaved in the name of the Islamic State? They are peaceful until the time calls for them to act accordingly in the name of Islam.
And what will the "good Muslims" do in the scenario when the "bad Muslims" are in power and demand their contribution to the Jihad? You may just discover that their loyalties do not lie with you or Western cultural norms and laws.

Now is the time to rally behind and support the Republicans in Congress that are willing to put their careers and reputations on the line to pass this legislation. They are getting absolutely smeared and slandered in the media and by the left. This legislation is every bit as necessary as the SAVE Act but you can bet your arse there will be resistance from fellow Republicans on passing these nation saving measures.

I don't think you know what a meltdown is. Criticism of Trump's unnecessary inconsistent language, which is plentiful, but particularly in war time, isn't melting down. It's holding him to a fairly fundamental standard. Contradicting messages from the administration itself is rather what constitutes a "bad look." People being unable to acknowledge or accept as legitimate any criticism of his actions is tiresome.

re: “Comic” Dave Smith: “US is arguably the worst terrorist organization in the world”

I had no idea who Dave Smith was until he eviscerated Chris Cuomo on stage over his Covid coverage. There is overlap with conservatives and libertarians on some issues like this. I enjoyed seeing Cuomo get called out for being the POS hypocrite that he is.
And then libertarians inevitably go full retard with their views on damn near ever other issue of substance where they cannot see the forest for the trees and are dogmatically obsessed with their unrealistic views on the world.
