They’d have 90% left if that’s all we’d done.

You were half-right.

after 4-5 years


i mean... is that short? just buy more equipment with compatible batters/chargers. Still cheaper than ethanol-free gas over 5 years.

Who’s buying this shite?


i have three gas mowers and one battery powered. The battery is far superior to the two gas push mowers. Costco special. I got a chainsaw too that is better than my big expensive gas one in a lot of way (lighter, quieter, and just as powerful--batteries don't last very long when sawing up a large tree for fire wood. But the same batteries as for the mower, so easy.)

I’ve been a landlord for nearly 25 years, uninterrupted. If it weren’t for the tax advantages I’m not sure I’d do it. It’s pretty thankless. Certainly isn’t making me rich. I’m also way more conscientious and kind than your average slumlord.
I have natural rent control. I try to find tenants who will take care of my properties. And I keep them for years without rent increases.

I just clicked on the Amanda Bynes (no clue) thread and said, “Gooood night.” The way my grandparents used to say it.

Same can be said of her husband.

I occasionally stop by that Costco after a business stay in the area. Last few times I was one of like 4 white adult males in the entire store.

Hey 19! (except turn the second digit upside-down)
At first glance, they’re a notch less trashy than the US variants we normally see. But upon closer inspection, it’s just an exotic strain of the clap.

I spent a long summer in the Greek isles pre-tattoo (1999) idiocy. Much, much easier on the eyes.

I saw Elle Macpherson in her tattless prime on Hydra.

Elafonisi had supermodel talent.

I skipped Corfu. I hear you can pick up a wide variety of STDs at the Pink Palace.

Equestrian


We took the boys to Tryon Equestrian Center (after driving to Tryon, only to discover it’s not actually all that close to Tryon), just to goof around. Wow. On just a random day, the rigs we saw just for kid riders.

We will stick to Y team sports, homemade swim lessons and amateur rasslin in the crick.

Our boys have just as much fun beating the shite out of each other in the yard as they do playing organized sports.
FWIW
XOM is still down 10% on the month.
Down 18% off its March high.

lol. I read it as a high school freshman. Good stuff.

This thread got off to an inauspicious start….
I don’t believe in the simulation. But that might change mu mind.

Super tart lemonade (extra juice) with sweetened condensed milk was my favorite as a kid (and when I was in law school I went to Plum St Snowballs a few times).

Ground meat went up .90 here. $7.89 for a pound is absurd.


Truly nuts. I paid $1.99/lb at Costco not all that long ago.

What speed profile were you using?


I was on standard with a few hurries just testing it out. It took me a week to learn you can just put the blinker on to make it change lanes without terminating FSD.

He and Candace are hanging out with Charlie in a bunker. Duh.
