    Generac generator?

    For home use this is just another maintenance issue: radiator, belts, hoses, coolant, etc. Problem with standby generators... They sit cold/ambient temp. They are cranked, immediately revved to rated rpm, and a large load applied all at once. This is NOT the best treatment but comes with the...

    Generac generator?

    I've had a whole house nat gas auto xfer for 5-6 years now. Generac floods the market w/ sales literature. I would not buy one due to 1) a class action suit against them regarding the generator part coming apart/delaminating and 2) generac-specific parts. 1. I'm sure this has been fixed, but...

    The world is not nearly as advanced as we like to think.

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Lotta good comments in here. I'll add... I wouldn't be too concerned w/ paying off a house. If the note fits into your cash flow, then invest the difference and go on. For those that say " It's paid off, it's mine now ". You sure about that? Try not paying homeowner taxes for a few years and...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Can't have a modern society if your fallback option is, essentially, begging, hoping the deep red neighbors can look past your neon hair so you can eat this week. You've bought into the false 'welfare queen' from reagan's days. This apparition, for all intents and purposes, does not exist.

    Master thread for disasters and generators.

    Have not seen data on this... but chances of both your units dying is slim. I would not worry about it. Long term storage... technically you're supposed to put a little oil in cylinder through the spark plug hole and pull the rope to coat the bore with oil to prevent rusting. I've never done...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    You're not thinking this through fully. So you want the least skilled, least productive to NOT make enough to survive, to make it NOT worth their while to work? So, ask yourself, what are they going to do then? You think that's gonna be a net positive for them and society? I've got ~600...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    What about water system inspection/certification so you're not poisoned by lead & other heavy metal or made sick by microbial contamination? (USDA handles this) What about meat inspection/certification so shady slaughterhouses aren't selling meat that was from tumor-laden animals? (USDA again)...

    Do you know why postage cost are so high for us ?

    This all is impacted by the US being more-or-less the only developed country to _not_ provide gov't funded healthcare. So... healthcare costs have to be factored into business costs, making an apples to apples comparison w/ other countries hard. If you want a real fix, not one that someone...

    Ni CD battery replacement

    Would be ok. Some electrical tape/paper would be fine. It's a newer cell so capacity would be good.

    Do you know why postage cost are so high for us ?

    Question... how many actual hours between office, surgery, followup, etc were spent by doctor? I think medical is going to get worse before it gets better. Reimbursement rates from gov't need to increase. Boomers' population bubble is going to push the system to its limits, from a capacity...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    You know, when the personal attacks begin, you're admitting you lost the argument. I stand behind facts, science, and the reasoning skills that come with thinking and maturity. Anytime you want an objective debate, using valid sources, reason, logic, and peer reviewed procedures, you know...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Other countries have done just this... and have FAR better outcomes with 1) initial offending 2) recidivism 3) etc than we do. But short-sighted/ill-informed people keep on beating the drum for long sentences, intolerable conditions, no education, etc. Prison is basically a make-work program...

    recharge a laptop with a 20V tool battery?

    This would be a more certain option... and useful for other stuff also.

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Sorry, once again, facts don't support your ideas. The US's border is ~7,500 miles long. You're going to 1) build a wall on shifting sands and/or 2) station agents close enough to manually shut that down? Not physically or economically possible. Note: this also ignores the coastline, which is...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    That's the problem... just because someone thinks something is a fact does not make it so. Fact: The US has the highest per capita prison population on the planet. There's a real monetary cost for this, in housing the inmate, the opportunity cost of them not participating in society, and the...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    If jobs were not available, then people seeking jobs (immigrants, from south of the border or otherwise) would not come. That's not a political opinion. It's an economic fact. Would you move to an area for a job if you knew ahead of time there were _no_ jobs available? A an example of a...

    Flip flops

    I picked up an additional pair when they offered to make a custom chaco w/ pac-man (with ghosts) straps. Always get compliments when people notice them. [stock photo]
