This

I've had a 60 ZT Avenger for 4 years. I've been good about routine maintenance (oil, filters, blades, plugs, etc.). It has worked like a champ. I mow about 6 acres each week in the high season. I should be better about about clearing debris but sometimes that takes too long and I end up going over it (within reason). Yet it has held up well (blades certainly dull more quickly). I don't have anything bad to say about it functionally and the routine maintenance is easy. I wish there was more shock absorption in the seat but I also realize my model is not a high grade model, and there may be after market upgrades available for the seat.

I plan to upgrade the mower next spring and use the old one for areas that are more prone to debris to help longevity on the new one.

This is the answer. They can play in other countries, but that is what they'd need to be prepared to do.

Gen X - I don't. Daughter is 23 and I doubt she does because she types as fast as I've seen anyone type. But she should since she's had a laptop since she was 5 and has been taking school notes on a laptop since she was in middle school.

If I ate one meal a day and it was a 6 inch sub. Even a salad is $20. I likely spend 500-700 a week eating out. 5 week day lunches. Friday and Saturday dinner. Sunday lunch. But I am usually paying for wife, mother, and MIL in 2 of those last 3. Almost never any place fancy. Mexican if everyone has 2 margs is 150.

We have a 3100 sq ft house and have a 24kW generac. The size obviously depends on what you need/want to run. If I recall, I went one larger than they said I could get away with.

Runs everything with ease when it's needed. Had it for 4 years. Probably kicks in 3-5 times per year between storm power loss and power company errors that inadvertently cut power. We ran it for almost an entire week only once post storm and had no issues.

I cannot imagine having a house without one. I didn't have one for years and spent many really cold nights and really hot days for extended period without power. Now that is a thing of the past and it's glorious.

Agreed. This is a great one

This will be such a cluster for traffic. The Hardy will be full of cars and no longer worth the toll. 290 and to a lesser extent I-10 will also get traffic spillage from people traveling from the northwest into the city. I cannot even imagine how bad it will be. Although I can work remotely most days, I choose not to. I will need to seriously rethink that if this goes forward.

I bought a car that was in transit from the manufacturer to the dealership near me. I put down $500 I think to reserve it. I cannot recall for sure but I think I lost the $500 if I chose not to buy it, but I do know for sure I didn't lose any more than that, e.g., I was not obligated to buy it.

I also tried buying a used SUV from CARMAX as a second vehicle and found one in AZ I liked (I'm in TX). But in that case I was required to buy it even it I did not like it when it arrived at my house so it was a no go.
