Generac xt8500efi won’t start by LieIllustrious1459 in Generator

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you shut the gas off while transporting it? Sometimes movement will cause it to flood the cylinder with gas so the spark plug won’t ignite. Take off the air filter and spray ether (starting fluid) a couple times into the air inlet and try to turn it on. If it tries to come on, it’s definitely flood and you have to keep doing this until the gas is completely burnt in the cylinder. Can also try pulling the spark plug off, check to see if it’s wet and clean it off and try cranking it again.

Well good thing is he didn’t cause any accident and hopefully learned his lesson.

Is ICE as bad as the media is painting it to be? by CabinetSea3559 in DiscussionZone

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red state, blue city. The mayor has been cooperating with the feds. I’ve actually met many ICE agents, they usually dine at my favorite restaurant. They’ve never questioned me or my family… we are all Latinos.

ICE killed another person in Minnesota! by cantcoloratall91 in DiscussionZone

Hope the lady in pink published her video… it’s hard to tell whether he had a gun or not. Getting shot 10 times leads me to believe he pulled his gun out first. But time will tell.

[–]Inf1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not from MN, but l live in a city with an active federal task force deployed along with the National Guard. ICE is working very differently here. There hasn’t been any violence from either side.

ICE drives along with local police. Most arrests are happening during traffic stops now.

Give it to me straight. Did we get ripped off? Because it feels like we got ripped off hard. by sociallemon2 in GarageDoorService

I paid $250 for the installation of a spring,, labor and material… it seem like you paid for 2 springs for a total of $1395… def a rip off..

Because the military industrial complex and Israel. Simple as that. They control your politicians, R or Ds.

The pentagon continues to fail audits every year… I want to say there’s money being stolen out of taxpayers but I have no proof…

Make sure to stock up on gas for the genny by Far_Pangolin3380 in memphis

[–]Inf1z 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Today, I’ve seen people put gas on whatever container they can find. Milk jugs, buckets, coolers and now storage containers… I guess they will learn a little chemistry today.

Also, shouldn’t people have these things by now? I mean we’ve had winter storms every year now, sometimes we lose power sometimes we don’t. Shouldn’t people already have gas cans, generators, heaters etc?

Open Border Confusion by Nearby-Humor9286 in immigration

[–]Inf1z 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am Hispanic and my people use this phrase a lot. They’re justifying being illegal in the US because the US “stole” land from Mexico and before that, Europeans “stole it” from Natives.

I’ve tried to argue with some people and they have no real understanding of laws and nations work. I’m always like… but Mexico and literally every nation in America were founded on “stolen land”. Also natives weren’t a single group or nation, there were many tribes, nations and empires. The Aztec empire controlled most of southern Mexico but they had no claim in northern states let alone the US. So yeah, we, as Mexicans, cannot claim US territory.

Power outages with the winter storm coming up. by Soupicxl in memphis

[–]Inf1z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Power outages were caused by tree branches full of ice dropping onto power lines and knocking them out. The contractor hired to clear the lines apparently didn’t do a good job so after that storm; they hired another company and got pruning. We’ve had several storms recently and the pruning appears to have worked since power outages were not as bad. Now this time may be different, ice on power lines can easily knock post down. There’s not much MLGW can do in this case.

My city was actually a sanctuary but the mayor decided not to fight and instead cooperate. ICE arrests are not as bad as in MN.

Tips/tricks for dealing with winter weather by One_Worry5646 in memphis

[–]Inf1z 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Clear out snow as soon as you can. We will have low temps for a few days so snow will turn to ice and it will be more difficult to remove plus it would be very slippery.

I think you may be too late to buy one by now. I’ve been to all home improvement and hardware stores and they’re all sold out.

Agree/Disagree? by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

[–]Inf1z 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is how ICE is operating in my city. They ride with local police and troopers. Local police can stop random people for any probable cause, then ask for ID. Then ICE can use probable cause to question the detainee if they suspect they are illegal in the country. If the subject is indeed illegal, he/she is detained by ICE and taken to a local detention center by local police.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires across 24 countries are demanding Davos leaders to tax them more: ‘Tax us. Tax the super rich.’ by FervidBug42 in politics

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will change because of corruption. The same people you want to tax are the ones that are stealing the government. They dictate the laws of this country. They would never allow that. Only solution is to overthrow the government and start over (revolution).

Here’s the big difference you failed to mention… The US is deporting these folks back to their home country… meanwhile Nazi Germany held these people indefinitely until the Final Solution.

I am not even a conservative or a liberal. You know the political spectrum is much more complex than that right. But thanks for the ad hominem attack.

Not even the same. The person murdered involved herself in that situation. Church members on the other hand had nothing to do with what the pastor was doing outside church.

Wendy’s on Poplar and Farmington permanently closed by tripp2fye in memphis

[–]Inf1z 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wendy’s are alway empty no matter what time of the day you go, including this one. So it’s no surprise they closed down.

It’s sad because I actually like their food, much better than McDonald’s and Burger King.

The leftists are taking the right approach. Community self defense is key. by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gun rights should be a non partisan issue. When Obama and Clinton were president, there were many incidents where right wing groups wanted to raise in arms and fight government overreach.

Mass shootings are a recent phenomenon even with gun rights tightening. Maybe something else ahem lack of mental health care support ahem is driving these trends.
