    I'm dyin' laughing. 😁 @JUSTWANNARACE Your project is one of those that comes along once or twice in a career. The satisfaction of restoring that building to its former glory will stay with you forever. Thanks for sharing the journey.

    As the pendulum swings...

    This statement by the teacher requires some serious reflection on what the hell is going on in our country. It's gonna get worse. "I am so relieved that our fundamental rights of freedom of expression and freedom of religion were upheld," Vlaming told Fox News Digital. "However, it still...

    Home A/C advice

    You should clean the surfaces with a strong solvent so the tape will adhere. I use lacquer thinner for stuff like this. The odor is significant, but it goes away. I would use foil tape. Buy the good stuff. Use a putty knife or something else that's stiff to seat it properly.

    ww3

    It took about $8 trillion in 2024 dollars and the deaths of 450,000 Americans in WWII and Korea for the fifties to happen. The cost of artillery, tanks, and airplanes of those wars were nothing compared to what our military uses now, so a redux would easily cost three times as much. You ready?

    Temporarily Suspended Longshoremen Strike

    The only thing that makes the economy of any capitalist country grow are gains in productivity. Wage increases without increased productivity result in a net negative effect, reduced profits across the enterprise, and ultimately lower GDP growth. It's not up for argument, and an inescapable...

    Temporarily Suspended Longshoremen Strike

    Years ago I went to a shop with a friend that specialized in modifying Skylines. The owner tossed out some numbers on what he was charging for customisations using JDM stuff and I was floored. That being said it was top notch work, and the cars were pretty badass. I just did a search on Skyline...

    They didn't "hike" the fees. The laws of supply and demand did, and now the charges are cratering for the same reason. Ocean shipping companies don't set those prices, the entities that put their goods in the containers do.

    Parents spot kids in 7-Eleven robbery footage, turn them in to police

    Parenting used to be different. Even with other people's kids. Four of my high school friends got hauled in one night for shooting a pressure water fire extinguisher into a cop car. Then they got stuck at the next red light. The next part was told to me by one of them. 😁 Guy named Larry...

    Shit paper again?

    Dammit. Last month while cleaning up the shop, I threw away a 30 pack of Scott single ply 80 grit purchased during Covid. 😬

    Temporarily Suspended Longshoremen Strike

    This reminded me of a Saturday on the Houston Ship Channel docks of Gulf States Toyota around 1978. I was doing a remodel on the pier office, and a rollon-rolloff car carrier from Japan had docked and began discharging Corollas and other models. I walked over to take a look, having never seen a...

    That's not accurate. The Muslims are killing in the name of their religion. Israel is responding because their national sovereignty is being attacked and their citizens are being killed. Judaism has nothing to do with defending their country, they are fighting for their existence.

    It's almost beyond belief a bunch of shit for brains terrorists, the Houthis, have essentially shut down global shipping traffic through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. It is beyond belief that Biden has allowed them to not only succeed, he hasn't done shit about the fact they've attacked United...

    It's common for the herds of idiots to take photos of themselves among the bluebonnets, so the most beautiful displays of nature are trampled flat.

    The Iron Dome anti-missile system is an Iraeli product, produced by Rafael and Israeli Aerospace. The US provides the Patriot anti-missile system to Israel, it's my understanding that Iron Dome is quite a bit more effective.

    No Voter ID Requirements, CA

    To normal Americans, this law is an affrontery* to the rule of law and splattering shit on the sacred right to vote. To leftists in California and other states, it is perceived as a victory and affirmation of their agenda. To me it's fucking disgusting. *Affrontery: Noun. A personally...

    Did we land on the moon?

    Watching that X video has reaffirmed my belief there are people on Earth so incredibly stupid it's becoming hazardous to walk among them. That shit might rub off on me.
