I have Rigid stuff I inherited from my dad. Some of the lipo batteries are from 2011 and still kicking. And I fabricate and restore cars semi-professionally, before that my dad was a handyman and not gentle on them for the first 5-6 years he used them. We built a 30 foot porch, and installed a metal roof with those drivers for instance.

It’s mid grade between Ryobi and Milwaukee which I have a couple of. Besides some specialty tools, I think the red tools are just status, I don’t see a real difference in quality. And I think they all have flashlights in them now too. Some even have ring lights that are super handy.

Buy the kit when it’s on sale (Father’s Day, or Black Friday are good ones, but pretty much any holiday sale). It’ll usually get you a free battery or charger and having a separate drill and impact driver is pretty handy when installing shit around the house.

Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.

Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.

Sorry should be a been more clear.

There should have been a nationwide pause on foreclosures like was done during the pandemic. Review the loans, refinance to reasonable levels. Revalue houses where prudent, fix predatory loans and fuck those banks that sold them.

And instead of giving banks a trillion dollars we could have spent that on a universal basic income that would have been up to the individuals to spend. Like any other income.

The big argument for bank bailouts was that the payroll system would collapse. A UBI could have made it at least not dire.

Yeah, I’m more and more convinced letting them bail out the banks, instead of bailing out legit homeowners during the housing crisis would have saved the Democratic Party.

The argument against it was always “but the banking system and payrolls would collapse”.

Then the pandemic hits and they send out checks and expand loan deferment (could have been forgiveness, but we let the Republicans fuck us over on that too) practically overnight. They still have too much money to businesses that shouldn’t have needed it (like the NBA or whatever).

Maybe that’s the goal. Is Dennys still around. This reminds me of their logos general shape, but melted.

I like it the direction, but the topography needs adjustments. Full disclosure I’m also a design snob with a fucking BFA who got stuck coding shit for the last 20 years.

Difference is he can afford to do the stupid shit some of us joke about doing.

Jeez, ghost peppers and the like are just torture. We only went to like level 3 Indian spice and siracha/chulua hot with the little tike. He’s coming around and likes spicy mustard (like cheap Chinese style), and hot chili powder meals. Not quite red pepper flakes unless they’re sparsely on pizza crust.

Bao Feng has been cashing in on the prepper/meal team 6 crowd for years now. Their packaging just caught up.

The couch fucker has all the real money and power behind him. If you think these MAGATs die with Trump, you are gonna be disappointed. We need to crush them in 2026, and if we can’t I’m gonna flee.

Both those claim to be against sex trafficking, I wonder how many of their board members have flown to the Epstein island?

Exactly. But all the 2A morons claim it protects the other rights, when it hasn’t. At least not sustainably.

They’re both thinking it either way.

Side note, we never fed my kid anything that wasn’t what the rest of us were having for dinner. He’s a good (non picky) eater, but we did accidentally give him the hotter portion of some Indian food when he was 2, and he’s only recently started enjoying spicier foods again 5 years later. Spicy Mexican never bothered him though oddly, just curries.

I think passing that law just proved that 2A never had any power. And rubbed it in the Panthers’ faces at the same time.

Slightly lowered cars, I love the look, but they are almost always less comfortable, harder to drive in certain places (steep driveways, potholes, etc).

It’s a total waste of money, but I love how it looks when a wheel properly fills an arch and the air dam is that bit closer to the road.

And also what 2A has been woefully incapable of preventing for all but the first few years of this country’s history.

Corporate brainwashed, delusional, desperate, uneducated, lazy, close-minded, coping human?

The media is pushing “answer a few questions, or spin a wheel, and get rich”, and “sing in your car, then get famous on Idol” and getting huge ratings. Same way we got this fucking President. Corporate brainwashing.

And he’s could die any minute, well before construction is complete.

Sploodgy

The line graphs for corporate greed and online file sharing are the same line.

So let’s make the jobs nobody wants to do even worse while we deport the few remaining people willing to do them.

Then try and get notoriously hard working and focused teenagers to do it.
